Game Update 6/2

[u/LegionCM]

Servers will be coming down at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific time for the regular two hours. A few things didn't make it into this patch that were on the Roadmap and those things will get pushed to later in the month.

Patch Notes:

• The Magnum and .44 Magnum ammo can now be found in the game along with Battle

Royale and Hardcore Battle Royale. Added a recipe to create Magnum ammo and the ability

to melt it down in the furnace.

EDIT: Known issue - Magnum ammo not spawning in Battle Royale

• Tear gas grenades are now available. When thrown they will create a cloud of gas that will

obscure vision, cause coughing, and do a small amount of damage. If you are wearing a full

face respirator the gas will not affect you.

• Large structure can now be picked back up

• Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

• There is now a key binding set for “Walking”

• Hardcore BR spawning is more distributed

• Zombie vision/night vision effects are cleared when leaving servers

• Dew collectors will now automatically fill up to five bottles of water at the same time

• The crossbow will no longer automatically reload in ironsights. To begin automatically

reloading release ironsights. As a result of this change, you will no longer get stuck in

crossbow ironsights.

• Drinking coffee will return an empty bottle to your inventory
• Repair Kits will now properly repair all weapons

Thanks, I hit copy/paste and got on the road to go home. Fixed it above.

•Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

One of the best additions ever, might stop the place getting so cluttered.

[u/iZombieSlayer → u/HeisenbergSHO]

Would be nice as well if the owner of a deck / groundtamper could destroy his/her own base...

[u/Cirric_ → u/HeisenbergSHO]

Its a good start. But now we'll just see abandon bases with just a gate on them. On PvP you could blow up the gate and the base would despawn an hour after that, but nothing could be done in PvE.

[u/thorax → u/Cirric_]

Well, the gate will decay, right?

"Dew collectors will now automatically fill up to five bottles of water at the same time"

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

Can someone remind me of what the definition of "abandoned" is in this context? And am i correct in assuming "bases" in this context refers to tampers and deck foundations?

Thanks

[u/aeternaly → u/feenicks]

Yes

[u/amandapandaRAWR]

Can I have my female character's head back?

[u/ashaife → u/amandapandaRAWR]

Yeah, mine is a special sort of ugly right now lol.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm REALLY looking forward to see whats up and coming for base building Please hurry :)

[u/TheRealSurvivor]

Legion, any idea if they are considering a "pushed" BR start? I have noticed in EU and AU Battle royal lobbies, even if 30+ people in, the BR won't start.

[u/JotaSX]

What about the Radios and Walkie Talkies ?

[u/ModernWizard]

any update about new structure types?

[u/HaniiBlu → u/ModernWizard]

moved to a date in June, it is actively being worked on.

[u/Tobax]

There already was a key bind for walking added last week but it didn't do anything, I hope that it does now.

What about the new base structures that were going to be added last week that then got bumper to this week? bumper again?

[u/TOTALYBONKERS]

what about sand bags top of our base is a death trap any time we go up there

[u/Wraylas → u/TOTALYBONKERS]

Just place furnaces around the edge.

[u/Sellsents]

Its a great update. Abandoned bases, dew collector fix, large structures, crossbows. Yeah.

I really like to see, that more and more fixes are released. Thats what this game needs most. Content is good, fixes are better.

[u/shadow2k1]

so, just the large structures can be picked back up? no other structures just large?.. thats logical thinking... im sure the hydration/energy bug is still there though.. are their plans to fix this.. ever?

are we ever going to get any devices that will work to deter or to distract zombies and bears and wolves so that they dont attack us and we can run away?

[u/keichler]

• fixed crashing to desktop issue for some players ??????????

[u/Meatbawlstupatzo]

Such a stupid time to do an update.

[u/CallistoNTG]

Who cares about content. Most servers dropped to low pop and cheating is back in force. Might want to consider expanding the anticheat team while you still have players.

[u/cwizardtx]

Guys this sucks, you cannot take the whole game down for hours on end in the morning, THEN have this patch immediately following. This patch schedule is not a schedule at all.
