Patch 8.1: Winter Wonders Await!
Hey Survivors!
The first two weeks of the fresh Survival wipe are now behind us, and we’ve made and released a host of updates—especially around loot and vehicle adjustments.
🛠 Downtime Schedule:
Date: 29.11.2024
Duration: Approximately 1 hour
With the upcoming server restart, we’ll be rolling out bug fixes, feedback-driven changes, and new content for the Xmas events.
SURVIVAL
Some of these changes could also affect other game modes.
Here’s a detailed list of all updates:
Loot: General adjustments have been made, with notable differences between Official and Private servers.
Vehicles: Spawn count increased from 22 to 63, and the max number of spawned vehicles raised from 12 to 20.
Bug Fixes:
Resolved an issue where items would disappear if picked up with a full backpack.
Fixed a bug where Zombies and Super Zombies respawned instantly after a private server reset.
Map Adjustments:
Fixed some locations where the airdrops landed in areas that were not accessible.
Fixed the back on the market in Clearview where people could climb up
Increased the amount of player spawns around Clearview.
Infection Adjustments:
Chance of getting infected while bleeding decreased from 25% to 10%.
Chance of infection while not bleeding remains at 2%.
Backpack Spawn Update:
The camping backpack spawn (intended for beta testers) has been removed and replaced with the Alice backpack.
Helicopter Crash Loot:
Slightly buffed loot; remember, loot won’t respawn if you’re within the detection radius.
Gasoline: Added to civilian and vehicle trunk loot tables.
Zombies:
Night Zombie spawn chance reduced from 100% to 25%.
Increase the XP of the regular Zombies from 5XP to 7.5XP.
Increase the XP of the Night Zombies from 6,5XP to 10XP.
Items Adjustments:
Poultice has been buffed, it heals now 30 instead of 20.
Location Loot Buffs:
Enhanced loot in the 5-story buildings in Frosty Pines and Whitestone Mountain.
Improved loot at the medic center in Whitestone Mountain.
Airdrop Fix:
Removed the “Empty Slot” item. This was supposed to represent currency, which isn’t supported by the current airdrop system.
XP Rewards:
Increased XP gained from killing night zombies.
Note: Some of these changes were server-side and have already been rolled out, as noted in the devupdates channel on our Discord.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to improve the experience for everyone. We’ll keep you updated on our progress and notify you as soon as the servers are back online! Join our discord server for live updates!

Server Downtime Announcement & Upcoming Survival Wipe
Hello Survivors,
We want to give you a heads-up about some planned server maintenance that will affect availability for a period of time.
🛠 Downtime Schedule:
Date: November 9th, 2024
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
During this maintenance window, our servers will be temporarily offline as we conduct necessary updates and optimizations to enhance your gaming experience.
⚠️ Survival Mode Wipe: After the maintenance is complete, Survival Mode will receive a full wipe. This means all existing progress and items in Survival Mode will be reset. We know this can be disappointing, but it’s essential to keep gameplay balanced and ensure everyone has a fresh, fair start.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to improve the experience for everyone. We’ll keep you updated on our progress and notify you as soon as the servers are back online!
Stay tuned, and get ready for a fresh Survival adventure! 🌐
