Deadside News

[h3]Bad Pixel team wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! [/h3]

The past year has been hard for all of us, that’s why we’d like to thank everyone who have supported us through all this time. Some of you are veterans of this project already, you’ve come a long way with us, helped us to grow and make this game better and someone came recently, bringing a fresh look and new ideas. You are not only helping Deadside develop, but also giving us strength to move forward despite the difficulties.

We sincerely wish you more bright emotions and happy moments in the coming new year.
This update is not only the final stage in a series of updates, but also serves as a starting point for the future ones, which are currently in a development process. We’ve got more exciting content and events waiting for you next year, with the first portion already on the way.

Update 0.1.11

Our target for this update was to make gameplay more intense. Not only we added new activities and events, but also expanded the map in a way, that wouldn’t reduce the concentration of players, creating new hotspots.

Map changes
Added new multi-level location – military bunker.





Weapon with camouflage
Bunker has locked boxes that can be opened only with a key, dropped from military NPCs with a certain probability. This box contains a weapon with camo and other valuable items that are well known to you.



Missions
- Added a new mission in the bunker
- Added new random encounters in various locations around the world
- During holiday event you can find New Year themed hats
- Added wandering traders who sell a more valuable equipment

Other economic changes
- Increased chances to get a reward from hard and epic missions
- Traders no longer sell flashlights and walkie-talkies but they buy it for higher price

Inventory
- Fixed lags with moving items inside your inventory

Improving the quality of life:
- Pick up item – Shift+Click
- Drop item – Alt + Click

AI
Improvements to the military bots AI

Balance changes
- Reduced negative effect from painkillers and Med-X
- Changed a number of items per stack for 7.62x54 (50 per stack), VG25 (3 per stack)

Other changes and fixes
- Added official PvE servers
- Fixed bug when bullets didn’t deal damage under the water in some cases
- Fixed absent or incorrect translations
- Fixed bug when F-57 pistol could disappear or fly away when dropped on the ground
- Building a base on lighthouses and in a bunker is impossible now
- Added markings on the map for “secret” locations (they existed before but weren’t marked on the map)

There are many different New Years traditions and we are going to join one of them – getting rid of an old junk on New Year’s Eve.
ATTENTION
At the beginning of next week the update 0.1.11 will be released, which will also include global wipe.

Deadsiders, our update 0.1.10 has released and it will be installed on every server from 11:00 am till 12:00 GMT (PDT 4-5 am) , because of this they might be unavailable.

Despite the fact that this is not a major update it still contains a lot of new things.
We’ve added new locations, events and mechanics, reworked whole medicine system, improved AI of the normal bots and added new ones.

We’re doing everything we can to make Deadside give you positive emotions and new experience with every update. And we’ve got a lot more for you in future.







Helicopter crash site

New game activity: a fallen helicopter, guarded by the surviving paratroopers, who are more dangerous and aggressive than usual bots. You can get a valuable cargo as a reward if you kill them.

New locations

Lighthouses located in the South-West and North of the map.

New missions

You can find them in the agro-industrial area near the Cherny Log, military base in the north and both lighthouses.

Medicine

Character’s health will slowly regenerate now. The speed will depend on the levels of thirst and hunger. If at least one of the parameters is red health will not regenerate. If one of them is yellow health will regenerate, but slower.

New items

- Painkillers, heals you quickly, but will also decrease your thirst
- Med-X will restore significant amount of your health, but your thirst and hunger will also decrease greatly.
Both of these items you can find in the world, get as a reward for different missions and Med-X you can also craft yourself if you find necessary components.
Pay attention, that if your hunger and thirst decrease to 0 then all kind of healing will be impossible.



Equipment crafting

Radios, flashlights and electronic locks will now appear less in the world, but you will be able to craft them yourself with electronic components, spare parts and other items. In one of the upcoming updates we will add more very useful craft options.

Breath hold
The left shift (default) while aiming.

Other fixes and changes
- Steam Family Sharing is prohibited because of the amount of abuse cases (gamebreaking exploit)
- Added random bot encounters in some locations
- Changes of balance, hearing and vision for bots (should be less of instant kills from shotgun, guard in watchtower will spot players from a greater distance)
- Many masks and hat can be torn to rags
- Vodka, moonshine and alcohol can be stacked (3 items in 1 stack)
- Fixed armor on some Halloween masks
- Fixed incorrect damage to the helmets from heavy weapons
- Fixed ability to interact with items while using gestures
- Fixed ability to use items while walking into the water
- Fixed: in some case the amount of ammo didn’t update in the interface
- Bases and stashes can be deleted in the Admin Panel
- Some items can be disassembled into spare parts and electronic components
- Fixed bugs with taunts, aiming and freelook (Left Alt)
- Increased the reload speed of shotguns
- Fixed door opening/closing bugs

While we’re still working on the fundamental and the most expected changes for the game, we’ve prepared a small update for you related to the holiday that couldn’t just get pass Deadside – All Saint’s Day.

Halloween
During the holidays you will be able to transform into a smiley vegetable, to shine with your clean-shaven skull or to play hockey with your friends by using, of course, an axe and an expressive gesture system understandable in any language 👻🎃💀😵



Swimming
We couldn’t also ignore fans of underwater hunting, now your character will inevitably go up to the surface but instead you get the ability to swim across the water obstacles.

In addition to that, we added the agro-industrial complex, where you will be able to meet workers of the local agricultural sector.
