Specialist Contract in Survival
Hey Survivors,
We are happy to announce the Specialist Contract release in Survival. Some of you guys know these contracts from Arcade. For the ones that don't, we created an article where you can read everything about these contracts. https://support.playnewz.com/viewarticle?/94-specialist-contracts-in-survival
Overall there are not over 50 NEW PVE+PVP contracts and the rewards are massive. Of course, we will check for feedback and maybe change it in the future.
Just keep in mind, the blue circle means PVP and green PVE.
Rewards for each contract will be a skin recipe and a specialist coin. You need these specialist coins to exchange in Blue Ridge and receive the Specialist Crate.
Keep in mind, you have to accept the missions through the missions tab while being on the Colorado map.
We hope you will enjoy and don't forget to share your thoughts on our discord at https://playnewz.com/discord

Patch 6.1
Hey Survivors!
With patch 6.1 we are bringing some changes, bug fixes, and the police event content. We will collect the basic information on this topic but the Police event will also have a separate announcement later with dates and details.
Additions
Survival
You will be able to complete the Specialist Contracts in Survival now as well. Finishing a contract will give you rewards such as XP, currency, or also a Specialist Coin. You can exchange 10 coins in Blue Ridge in Colorado v1 and get a Specialist Crate. These contracts are going to be added to the contract box.
Release is going to be in a later state.
NOTE: Items can drop in stacks*
Bug Fixes
Fixed a miscalculation of the dynamic envmap that could cause people to crash
Fixed/updated the character name rules to prevent "invisible" character names.
Changes
Made a major change to the assault rifles regarding their recoil and spread.
Added a "NOTE/WARNING" on the account registration on our website, usernames are permanent and cannot be changed afterward. This does not include if it's causing errors.
Tropico radiation zone will move slower, the speed we adjusted on patch 6.0 was too high. Thanks for the feedback.
Rewards have been changed on the Specialist contracts as the following:
Currency has been changed from 9.000 / 10.000 to 750.000 / 1.000.000 depending on the difficulty of the contract
Rewards like Account/Season XP have been added
Updated the name of the contracts to make it clearer if it's for PVP or PVE
This will affect both PVP and PVE versions
