Next week, due to the Chuseok holiday (Korean Thanksgiving), we will be taking a break from our regular updates. We hope you all have a pleasant Chuseok. Also, for the foreseeable future, to test and review various settings through the event server, regular updates are planned to take place approximately every two weeks. We appreciate your understanding.
Distribution of Blitz Event Rewards
🎁 Logging into the Blitz Mode server: 100 TP 🎁 The top 10 ranked players on the Blitz Mode server will receive an additional perk in addition to getting the standard perks at the end of the server’s terrafire event.
We’ve added a dynamic difficulty feature to the Meteocenter. For each of the 4 checkpoints, and also for the elevator section, the number of mobs that spawn will be different depending on how many survivors are in the corresponding room. If there are more people inside, more mobs will spawn. The reward box in each area will also contain more loot as a result of the higher difficulty.
This is our first implementation of dynamic difficulty adjustment in a facility, and we're investigating applying it to other facilities in the future. We encourage players to try out this new feature and we would love to hear your feedback.
Five New Perks
We’ve added 5 new perks to the set of available perks. To encourage their distribution, we’ll be doubling the drop rates of these 5 perks for the next 2 weeks until Thursday, October 5th.
📌 Quick Treatment 📌 Bigger Energy Arm 📌 Big Appetite 📌 Rusty Dagger 📌 Rusty Wrench
Your One-Stop Shop
In order to assist players with progression, we’ve added a medley of new items to the transmitter shop while also doubling the max purchase quantity for wearable items, blunt weapons, & firearms.
🏷️ Every kind of ammo 🏷️ Building Core 🏷️ Workbench 🏷️ Consumable Bench 🏷️ Frag Grenades 🏷️ Smoke Grenades 🏷️ Blast Mines
Cheaper Rocket Cartridges
We’ve made rocket cartridges cheaper to make.

Modified Recoil Patterns
We modified the recoil patterns for the following firearms: 🔫 PISTOL 🔫 ENERGY PISTOL 🔫 PISTOL EL-1 🔫 ASSAULT RIFLE
Optimizations & Bug Fixes
🐛 Fixed issue where survivors couldn’t build a second 3-Stack shelf on top of an existing 3-Stack shelf. 🐛 Fixed issue where items in the Chemochamber’s core weren’t dropping in the correct amounts.
🐛 Fixed issue where items that dropped when destroying building parts would result in the dropped item floating rather than appear at ground level.
🐞 Simplified the facility status notifications. Before: Open ⏩ Engaged ⏩ Conquering ⏩ Closing ⏩ Closed Now: Open ⏩ Closing ⏩ Closed

Server Maintenance (Hotfix) 📢
Hotfix
This week's regular update will be replaced with a hotfix.
Changes
🔹 Fixed the issue where some users were unable to connect to the server. 🔹 Fixed an error in some global ranking rewards.
Patch Notes: v0.5.6 (Preview)
We have another patch for you all! This one includes some more small improvements to polish gameplay as well as a small set of bug fixes. We hope you enjoy the changes!
Added Nitrado Link in-game
We’ve added two buttons to the lobby’s menus. One is a link to Nitrado.com for less technical players who would like to add a custom server without the hassles that come with hosting your own custom server.
We’ve also added a link to our guide on making a custom server for players to easily access the list of server commands and other necessary information.
Easier & Cheaper Repairs
We’re changing the recipe to repair walls and other housing features like foundations and ceilings. Level 1 and 2 will be repairable with only stone, while levels 3 and 4 will be repairable with metal.
Turrets vs. NPCs = No loot drop
When a mob dies and more than 50% of damage was caused by a turret, loot will not drop.
Beware the Axemen
Hyena Axemen can now throw their axes at you.
Clans: See what you missed
You’ll now be able to scroll to see what your clan was talking about while you were away.
Who Will Lead Us?
You can now rest easy knowing that the clan masters may now bequeath their admin rights to a member that they deem worthy.
Bug Fixes
◀ Fixed bug where Stryder EX only displayed 5 of its 20 inventory slots. ◀ Fixed an issue where the building grid displayed as red if the player died while installing something. ◀ Fixed an issue where turrets would aim at something where there was nothing to aim at. ◀ Fixed issue where other player’s build parts would display in the Integrated Utility Controller. ◀ Fixed issue where manipulating one’s building core through the integrated utility controller resulted in the UI displaying incorrectly. ◀ Removing a 1st story wall now results in the 2nd story wall also being removed. ◀ Corrected issue where a wall was see-through during animations. ◀ Added an Epic-tier terrasite capsule where one was missing in the Chemochamber. ◀ Changing the world settings to increase resource drops should now take effect immediately. ◀ Single Player: The controllers for the Geolab and Chemochamber should now work properly. ◀ Custom Server: Fixed crash that would occur when setting ‘ConfigurableValues MaxTeamSize’ to ‘0’ ◀ Custom Server: Setting the building core invite value to 0 now disables the permanent sharing of core-rights. ◀ Mobs will no longer be able to detect players who are both in their car or behind a wall. ◀ Mobs will no longer jitter when they can’t find a path to the player.

Patch Notes: v0.5.5
We’re adding more quality of life improvements in this week’s patch. This week’s patch is focused on player UI. We’re trying to fix a number of common friction points, as well as adding information where it wasn’t being displayed. If you have any ideas for further UI optimization or improvements, please add your ideas to the Season 4 feedback channel on our Discord server!
Vehicle QOL Improvements
🚗 Headlights and backlights will now turn on or off as soon as you press the forward / backward key, not when your vehicle changes direction. 🚗 Passengers will now also see headlights and backlights turning on or off just as the driver sees them. 🚗 Pressing the brake key will now deactivate the vehicle’s acceleration, effectively putting it in neutral.
Craft Bandages at Consumable Bench
Lv.1 Bandages can now be produced at the Consumable’s Bench at a cost of 2 fiber.
Repair Bench UI Change
Changed the Repair Bench’s UI to reflect durability skill buffs. Player durability buffs weren’t displayed in the repair bench, but now you can be sure of exactly how strong your guns are, and how long they’ll last when you’re repairing them.
Perk Name Update
We renamed the reload speed perks for players to more intuitively understand what it does, and which guns are affected.
Current Names Speed Loader - Short Range Guns Speed Loader - Mid Range Guns Speed Loader - Long Range Guns Speed Loader - Rocket Launchers
General Stability Optimization
We optimized the code around how base parts communicate stability data to each other.
Fixes & Optimizations
🔹 We changed the name of the “Reactor Engine Box” to the “Maintenance Bay Reactor” to better reflect its location. 🔹 We also added information the the maintenance bay reactor’s description that will give new players a hint about how to get the reactor.
