Infestation: The New Z

Patch 5.1

Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce a great new feature that is being worked on and is ready for an early release. We will be bringing AI to Infestation!
This is something that's long overdue and is being asked by players for a couple of years now.
Without further ado, here is the video of our DevBlog on the new AI Bots:

GENERAL CHANGES


GENERAL FIXES & CHANGES:


  • Added AI Bots to the game. For more details on it, watch the video above!
    • AI Bots have two main categories: Bandits and Civilians.
    • Bandits will shoot on sight and will drop loot.
    • Civilians will be semi-passive (only attack when are attacked). They will not drop loot. They can help players moving to and from safezones against other players and against zombies.

  • Disabled Clan Territories in PvE Servers
  • Updated Shadow Options
  • DeathMatch Gamemode Prototype has been added to the game.
    • They will for now replace Warmup Servers and will have the new queue system similar to Competitive. Items are random and there is only 3 second revive time. More information on this coming soon.

  • Rifle Laser can be toggled on/off by pressing the Flashlight key (Default is F).
  • Fixed a major issue with sounds not playing properly when too many zombies were around you.
  • Fixed a bug with the Missions that would cause a crash when trying to complete them.
  • Improved the functionality of the flashlight and laser/flashlight attachments.


COSMETICS:



  • Updated the Streamer Riot Shield for ETwo.
  • Reworked the icons of the MG36 and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the Frying Pan and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the M. Style Helmet and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the FN Scar H and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the Masada and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the KT Decider and its skinned versions.
  • Reworked the icons of the QLB06 and its skinned versions.
  • Medieval 2021 Skinbox is now a Legacy Item*.
  • AKS-74U: Damage changed to 21.
  • Sig Sauer 556: Spread changed to 2.4

Medieval Event - Group Photo Contest



Hello everyone!

We are happy to bring you another photo contest for the Medieval Event!
Show the world your army that will aim to take down all others and call yourselves the best in the battle field!
Take a picture with all your friends!

Rules are fairly simple and must be met completely in order to participate.

RULES


  1. You need to post a photo with a group of at least 3 people (the more, the better, though) using the combination of both MODERN WEAPONS and MEDIEVAL ITEMS.
  2. Combinations are endless and can be played around with.
  3. The idea is to show yourselves as an army, a group, a unit, that would be easily recognizable as one.
  4. Editted images are allowed, as long as you do NOT add external elements to the photo.


Pictures can be sent starting today (September 13th) and will be closed on September 23rd!

To post your photos, please join our Discord at http://discord.gg/thenewz and find them channel #medieval-contest (or use this DIRECT LINK

That is not a chat for conversations or comments, so commenting on that channel will automatically disqualify you from the contest! We only want the IMAGES and perhaps a TITLE to the photo if you'd like.

REWARDS


There will be various rewards for the event among different photos.
But as a little spoiler, here are a few things you can win:

  • Medieval 2021 Skinboxes
  • GC
  • Account Subscription
  • GC Skinboxes

Remember, though. Rewards are INDIVIDUAL for the ones who post the pictures and not the whole group!

If you have any questions, please contact us at our Discord.
