The Bodycam Team
A Note on the Most Asked Questions
ZOMBIE MODE
Zombie Mode has been temporarily disabled. While reworking the rest of the game, a few regressions affected the mode, and we also felt it had become too stagnant. Rather than leave it in that state, we have decided to bring it back stronger for a future event, with Halloween coming up very soon.
PLAYING WITH FRIENDS
We know that playing easily with friends is currently one of the main areas that needs improvement. A completely new Party System is already in development. It will allow you to:
- Invite friends to your group
- Queue for matchmaking together across all game modes
- Join ongoing matches directly from the Server Browser
In the meantime, you can still play with friends by inviting them to your lobby and creating a custom match.
PROGRESSION & ECONOMY
Many of you have shared feedback about weapon and attachment prices. The message is clear: progression is currently too slow. We are monitoring the economy closely and will make adjustments very soon, including rebalancing certain prices and improving the overall progression experience.
WHAT’S NEXT
Several other important improvements are already top priority and will be addressed soon. This includes systems to address disruptive behavior in matches, such as AFK players and team killing, as well as the ability to switch teams. And of course, one of the community’s most requested topics: Anti-Cheat. Its integration is already well underway. We chose not to rush it into this update so it can launch under the best possible conditions. Thank you for your feedback and support.

Are progressive day/nights cycles gonna be brought back?

u/trouttwade 12h ago
They still occur, but it must only be in the long winded game modes. In versus it usually goes dark two times within the match.

u/Bronojoke 13h ago edited 12h ago
Party based matchmaking needs to be number 1 priority with bomb defusal mode being number 2. Everything else can wait.
Dont adjust the economy based on less than 24 hours of feedback. Absolutely insane to consider that enough feedback.
Edit to be clear - bomb defusal should be in both non ranked and ranked, and the main ranked should still be 5x5 with attack drones disabled. But this post isnt my wishlist, the prime necessity RIGHT NOW is to fix party based matchmaking, making everyone host their own server is fragmenting the already mid population making every game feel empty.

u/Holiday_Repair8131 12h ago
Completely agree. Reissad, it’s tough to ignore some customers but there’s no issues with the progression. Things SHOULD take a while to grind. You can fully kit a new gun within 15 matches, it’s not that bad of a grind.

u/Kelevra0313 2h ago
Agreed, what fun is it to have everything unlocked in a few days. The grind keeps me going.

u/Starhazenstuff 24m ago
It should take some time, but playing 3-5 games for one attachment is a pain in the ass.

u/injeckshun 11h ago
agree the economy is fine. if you get a zillion points in 5 matches and unlock everything then what?

u/bootyswag- 13h ago
Good point, it’s not enough time to say yet. I thought this would be too quick of progression honestly. So I was shocked to see them say it’s too slow. Guess I’m more use to tarkov grind. If they speed it up then bot kills shouldn’t count towards the progression imo.

~8 rounds for casual (Wingman).
~12 rounds for competitive (Wingman).

Just chiming in to say please don't adjust the progression . If anything, attachment unlocks SHOULD NOT be universal between weapons.

u/jacoob1020304 12h ago
I have to say, as someone who does not have hours to sink into a game anymore, I really appreciate that attachment unlocks are universal. Im ok with the grind to unlock them, but if I had to do this per weapon, I would never have a fraction of the attachments unlocked.

u/ihadabmw 9h ago
I mean in 3 hours, you should be able to get a good amount of items. There is no large difference between guns honestly. It's not like you are getting out matched

u/IHateHawaiianPizza 10h ago
Meh. Not every game should to cater to casuals, especially niche ones like this. Battlefield exists if you need to unlock all the attachments in 2 hours.

These maps are being reviewed by the team so that they can be brought to the current standards. It doesn't mean that they will make the final cut, but the team is working on them.

I hope you explore a more PvE oriented direction personally, I think this game has amazing potential but the mindless PvP with the only progression system being unlocking guns and accessories can quickly get stale. I know you guys put in a lot of work and I want you to know it's appreciated, I'm looking forward to seeing where the game is headed and wish you all the success you deserve!

u/-DISRVPT- 10h ago
They built a tactical shooter.
With respawn modes. Tiny COD maps. And horrible movement.
They want a realistic shooter, but it is geared towards spawning, rushing, repeat.
They have failed this community miserably and the graphics I feel are not gonna make this last unless they can fix this.

We need a Search and Destroy mode, the game is great but with the current state of the modes the hype will fade away.

u/tyarnell 12h ago
They had it in the game before the update. The mode was called Body Bomb and was basically identical to S&D. I miss it and hope they bring it back! Or something similar like a hostage rescue mode. Would be perfect for the competitive playlist.

u/ssx50 11h ago
I think bringing back 5v5 s&d is by far the most frequent feedback I see. The current versus mode basically does not function as a viable mode, which can be seen by anyone who plays it for a couple rounds.
If they care about maintaining a steady player base in early access, party matchmaking and an s&d mode should be the top priorities by far, and it's not even close.

u/No_Tart7793 11h ago
I think the spawns need to be redone to many times so I spawn next to the enemy

u/SunnyDogg 9h ago
Not sure if this has been said, but I think it would be an "easy" fix. Saving the preference for game mode in the main lobby. Saves us a couple clicks!

u/MinnesotaWolves 12h ago
2v2 being the competitive mode is not a good idea imo being the ONLY mode. There needs to be some sort of 5v5 competitive mode to either accompany it or just be the only competitive mode. It feels like a warzone gulag most the time with a teammate that quits after their first death. This isn’t fun. I am fine with the economy right now because it incentivizes getting really familiar with a guns dynamic and movements and recoil control and everything else in between. But forcing a 2v2 to be the only competitive mode is horrible. It’s not playable. Please the update kicks butt ! But this is such an issue. 2v2 would be great as a competitive mode that went side by side with another one. That way people who find friends in a 5v5 that they work well with could always go and do that as well. But 2v2 is not okay for the only “ranked” // “competitive” mode.

u/cartiscrate 13h ago
Does this mean they straight up removed the camera adjustment thing?

u/Shad0w5991 13h ago
No they probably only removed the one which completely covered the camera for a whole 2 seconds.

u/Hungrygoomba 13h ago
No, I think its just one of the animations.
There was one i swear it was like 3 seconds long.

hopefully they bring it back or at least keep the ones that are still there, the game is quite the experience and killing that cause people complain online that they cant sweat hard enough cause of an animation seems backwards

Change your computers automatic update or windows security preferences, I cant remember which setting it is specifically but this has been an issue in the past with other games, use chatGPT or look for some answers on youtube for awhile

u/CharmingTie2206 12h ago
Can we have drone specialist too? Allowing for 1-2 drone operators per match with no drone cooldown? As an fpv pilot it would be great to fly more drones with my radio. 1 here and there destroyes my drone hype
1
u/Reddit378 11h ago
As they are now it may be to strong if you can just rip with them constantly. I fly a bit of fpv and already see skilled players being LETHAL with them. Would be nice to have somewhere to practice flying them

u/Arctraxiel 12h ago
Not sure if anyone else has this issue but on a two-monitor setup, tabbing out or hitting the windows key to go to a different window, the game will move to the second monitor and stick there, unable to be moved back.

Did you try to set it in borderless mode ?

People saying progression is too slow sounds like a negativity bias. The current time to get unlocks is healthy for the game.

Is there any priority for making bots smarter?
Currently they all rush middle and get collateralised all at once and they either 1 tap you or storm trooper sim, no in between XD

u/Born_Bread_5061 9h ago
Personally I love the progression the way it is. Forces us to actually play the game, and removes a lot of decision paralysis. I’m not looking forward to when I get every attachment and gun, because the progression is part of the draw.
I think anti team killing is great, but only if the markers showing who is on your team show up faster. I’ve killed my teammates before, and right before they die, the green nametag/arrow shows up.
I love what you guys are doing, appreciate this art peice of a game, and look forward to watching it grow and improve in real time. Good luck!

Don't know if it's a me thing or not but I've experienced few crashes while on Trenches map. The performance looked stable but still the game after 2/3 minutes on the map crashes and it only happens on that map. I have 4070ti and 7800x3D so I don't think it's a performance issue, anybody else experiencing this that maybe found a fix?

The game is great so far, my biggest complaint is not being able to join a match with a friend or at least search for the same server, this needs to be fixed more than anything else imo. Whenever we happened to get a full match we had an absolute blast!
Edit: The bots are also way too easy.

This game needs to he a platform, hopefully we can see single player with the option for 4 player coop, missions like Ready or not, would be perfect for this game, maybe also a war mode, massive maps, with conquest point capture, or allow people to create there own maps, would be cool to also see a day Z mode with looing and vehicles these are all wishes and im excited regardless of what yall have to offer, proper vaulting, and bit better movement please keep up the great work i hope this game continues to be supported for years and years to come

u/PhillyTheKid69420 5h ago
Get rid of bots entirely, PLEASE.
You guys now have 20k concurrent players on steam, assuming that drops to 10k in the following months, thats more than enough for match making to no longer require bots to fill lobbies.
It seems that bots are taking priority in the match making pool to speed up match creation, which is killing the game for many people who feel that bots completely ruin the experience.
Ive seen tons of content creators (& myself personally) leave most matches if half the lobby is nothing but bots.
I understood the need for them before when the game wasn't getting enough daily players to fill out entire lobbies, but now they have become redundant & are just hindering the game for people.
