WAR DUST News

Hello everyone,

Big Update!

- Players will be able to save their default weapons position
(how to do it, you will find in the spawn room on your right hand side or watch tutorial below)
- Added possibility to use fixed weapon placements on belt or free one as before

- Two "new" maps added (they will repeat in rotation more often this week) :
1. Kaoh Kreik beta variant with 10+2 capture points
2. Siege of Dubai gamma variant. Airborne.

- Added server in Australia (Melbourne)

- Improved bot tanks AI (they should detect trees, poles, smaller objects better, shouldn't get stuck that much, revert when stuck, faster calculations etc.)

- Added horizontal controller offset adjustment for gun stocks calibration (separated for left hand and right hand)

- All average based leaderboards will count only players with minimum 10 matches played

- Added synchronization of maps played, they shouldn't repeat anymore until all are played

- Expanded Game Options menu and divided to sections (now it will be easier to add new features)

- Fixed menu music playing even when Music was set to off

- Added upper wind on all maps. Higher player is, the louder/stronger the wind will be.

- Knife kills will count only against real players now

- Couple other minor tweaks here and there

There was lot of changes in code this time (especially weapon handling), so as you all know very well, some new bugs might occur. Thank you for your understanding!

Hello everyone,

The menu now has 9 leaderboards on display, so pick your favorite combat skill and get your name in front of the community!

8 of the leaderboards reset monthly, so there is always another chance to show your dominance in War Dust.

From left to right:

Lifetime scorers : summary of total score in all your matches
Monthly scorers : as above, but wiped monthly
Monthly scorers Best average per match : Average Total score per match, wiped monthly
Monthly killers : Summary of difference between your kills and deaths, only against real players.
Monthly killers average : as above, except it’s not the summary, but average per match
Monthly Conquerors : average amount of points captured per match (by points I mean capture points)
Monthly stabbers : summary of kills by knife (bot kills included)
Monthly WD maniacs : summary of matches played
Monthly snipers : summary of kills by AWP with distance over 100 meters (bot kills included)

Today is the first day of new month, so all monthly leaderboards got its winners.
Last month it was a test run of them, so starting next month we will prepare prizes for top players (custom parachute skins)
There is one thing to improve (on next updates) : average based leaderboards will not show players with less than 10 total matches played in the month (this is already taken into consideration on final monthly list of winners)

So here are the November 2022 winners :

Top scorer (total) : @basil 0519 [K.O.B.K.] - 8614648
Top scorer (average per match) : juan7923 - 32948
Top killer (total k-d) : @GUNSHADOW(F.C.) - 1231
Top killer (average per match k-d) : @GUNSHADOW(F.C.) - 6.31
Top conqueror (average per match) : @andr0n3 - 5.4591
Top stabber (total) : @Chad ThunderCuck - 753
Top WD maniac (total matches played) : @basil 0519 [K.O.B.K.] - 146
Top sniper (total) : Little Pink Bunny - 451

Congratulations!

Hello everyone,

- Added manual squad selection in spawn room (not fully finished!). First you are squaded by auto squad script. Then you can choose squad manually. Squad limit (in theory) is 5. 8 squads to choose plus one "none" if you want to be lone wolf
- Changed bots behavior (more tweaks planned, please provide your feedback). What changed : they react way faster, turn around faster, shooting distance is doubled, accuracy is lowered
- Added progressive smooth turning (further you move thumbstick, faster you turn)

- Further performance optimizations (still long way to go)
- Due to reduced visibility in specific light conditions and reported problems with team recognition by color blind players, saturation of enemy/friend color schemes was increased.
- Added HUD elements opacity slider in game options. This is an early version. If you have any suggestion which elements should or shouldn’t be controlled by this slider, please let us know on our official discord.
Please note : when opacity is changed during a match, some items will be changed on new map reload.
