Patch 8.5
Hey Survivors!
Today, we are going to restart servers and release a small patch. This patch contains minor bug fixes and content for the upcoming Valentine event and Season Pass 18 (more information soon).
Here is a small list of fixes:
Fixed a bug where shotgun shells would disappear when players reloaded.
Improved the render distance of medium-sized objects.
Increased the private server de-spawn timer from 5 to 10 minutes in all game modes.
This will help players retrieve their items if they die or crash.
Fixed AI spawning without any gear on PVP servers.
Improved hit registration while laying down.
This needed to be fixed due to reports of players getting shot while laying down.
Adjusted the timer and distance of item spawns at helicopter crashes in Survival.
We are still trying to find the perfect balance, but we believe it is better now.
Fixed some building materials that didn't have assigned footstep sounds.
This was mainly happening in any 5-story building in Survival.
Downtime will be a maximum of 45 minutes, depending on the servers. A separate announcement will be coming soon about the Valentine event—and yes, it will start today. Stay tuned!

Patch 8.4 - Xmas Removal
Hey Survivors,
With a bit of delay, we are glad to announce Patch 8.4. This patch mainly includes the removal of the Xmas theme and some small fixes, which are listed below:
Fixed some game objects that weren't rendering on low or potato graphic settings.
Fixed some typos in the Spanish and English localization.
Fixed the amount of items spawning at helicopter crashes and lowered their player distance detection to 25 meters.
Decreased the check timer on vehicle spawns in Survival, meaning they will spawn faster.
Increased the FPS per game server in the SA region. Please report through a ticket if the server lags again with 70+ players.
Small info on what we are working on right now:
[SV] Caliwood
[SV] Skill tree - we have read all the feedback and suggestions and are trying to improve it for Season 2.
[SV] Missions - after the Xmas missions, we realized we need to rework the rewards for Seasons 2/3.
[BR] Battle Royale 2025 skinbox
The downtime will be around 30-45 mins.

We are launching the Weekend Event this week with a Snipers & Pistols Only event for Battle Royale! You will still be able to find melee weapons, of course, in addition to other utility items, such as armors and meds.
NOTE: Keep in mind, the loot is cached means it can take a bit before other weapons aren't spawning anymore.
