Release Notes Build 8.8 Hot Fix
Infected & Survivor Balance Changes are Live!
PLEASE NOTE: This game is meant to be challenging; giving an edge to the Infected. The more you learn and play a map, the better you will get at escaping the house and beating the Infected. Each house has different mechanics with some being easier to escape than others. Please be patient while you learn the maps, refine your skills, and play the game. With that in mind, we are making changes to bring the Win Loss rate in line with 60% Infected and 40% Survivors Win, where the game has been 80%/20%.
Please give us your feedback in forums!
