Remaining Patch Notes

[Quality of Life] All recruitment boards are now active instead of just one.

It was a common pain point that the recruitment boards were too hard to find.
Added information that explains how far away the board is from refreshing and a recruit from arriving.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the survivor recruitment board could show negative values.
[Balance] Increased the duration of emergency flares [4 turns => 8 turns]

Hi there
I've released a small update to address some feedback since the launch. I've receive a ton of feedback, with some people drawing attention to bugs and common pain points. Thanks for this support!
New Support Ability: Focus
Listen closely and try to locate any potential nearby threats. When a survivor does this, the approximate locations of threats will be revealed in a short radius.

This is useful for approaching areas with limited visibility.
Focus costs 1 ability token and is available in low tier workshops, so it is a very accessible ability.
The 'scavenger' preset survivor starts the game with this ability.
New Support Ability: Prepare
Ends the survivor's turn. One action point is spent preparing. After that, any remaining action points will be transferred to the next turn.

Useful for tactically distributing your actions - there are often situations where you can wait a turn but will require more action points the next turn.
Prepare costs 2 ability tokens and is available in medium tier workshops.
Remaining Patch Notes

[Balance] Study durations in the Library are now fixed at 12 turns [14 => 12]. They no longer increase for subsequent library sessions, whereas previously they got longer for each time the survivor studied.
[Bug] Fixed a bug which would prevent a save loading during the World Storm.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the auto-repair shop would be inaccessible because the barricade could not be reached.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the scavenging abilities in the ability tree showed information for communicator abilities.
[Balance] Abilities token costs reduced for most expensive abilities. This is to encourage more class hybridisation.

Marksman - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Overkill - Ability Token Cost [2 => 1]
Overkill - Action Point Cost [2 => 1]
Sweeper - Ability Token Cost [2 => 1]
Expert Engineering - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Projects Complete Faster - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Expert Healing - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Faster Healing - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Advanced Leadership - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
Communicator - Action Point Cost [2 => 1]
[Balance] Buffed the Armour Shredding ammo payload

Increased the armour shredding effect [70% => 90%]
Increased the damage dealt to unarmoured zombies [85% => 95%]

Hi there!

Undeadly has now launched from Early Access into Full Release! Thanks for following along this journey.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1646070/Undeadly

To mark the occasion, here is an update which adds exciting new features. Let's dive in.

The World Storm

An ominous storm approaches on the horizon.

The World Storm is a cyclical event where surreal weather engulfs the map.

Being exposed to the World Storm is dangerous. Survivors will need to use gas masks and take shelter indoors to avoid the effects of the storm.

Some zombies become enraged. This means they are aggressive throughout the day-night cycle, instead of aggressive only during the night like usual.

The World Storm will also create Storm Warriors. These zombies are only active during the storm and represent a new tier of difficult zombies.

The World Storm arrives in phases, with different intensities. At the higher intensities, the effects of the storm are more potent.

Upgradeable Facilities & Blueprints

Items in the workshop or the library must be unlocked. This can be done by upgrading the tier of the facility or through finding blueprints out in the world.

Blueprints are a new loot item that can unlock access to items regardless of the tier of the facility.

For workshops, this means weapon, ammo and utility item productions depend on the level of engineer and tier of the workshop.

For libraries, this means that the abilities that survivors can access are tied to the tier of library.

New Zombies

Zombie

Description

Storm Warrior

The toughest variant of any zombie yet.
Active only during the World Storm, though few in number, they are a challenging foe.
These zombies have a chance to drop the highest tier blueprints - which may come in handy for surviving high intensities of the World Storm.

Riot & Military Zombies

These are variants of regular zombies with added armour protection.
They are able to drop ammunition and medkits.
These zombies are wearing helmets, so headshots will go through the armour system like regular attacks.

Shadow Zombies

This new variant stands out because they posses a key ability; Shadow Mode.
Shadow Mode alternates on and off every turn. While in Shadow Mode, the zombie cannot be attacked.

Zombies can now drop loot.

Regular zombies have a low chance to drop standard loot.
Rarer zombies are able to drop ammunition and workshop blueprints.
This provides a new dynamic inlet for survivor loot. However, the main sources will still be from scavenging out in the world.

[Quality of Life] Zombies now have an icon on the HUD which makes it easy to remember if a zombie has been headshot. This applies for zombies which would otherwise reawaken as a crawler.

Reclamation & Renovation

The 'Last Stand' house in the Residential District has been integrated with the reclamation and renovation system. This means you can clear out the area and build facilities inside the house.

Base floodlights will now only activate once an area has been reclaimed.

New Survivor Abilities

There is a new 'Support' category within the library which has three abilities aimed at survivors helping other survivors.

Ability

Description

Communicator

Reduces the cooldowns of all nearby survivor abilities by one turn.
Useful for intense moments when you want to cycle through survivor abilities quickly.

Leadership

Donate one action point to the nearest survivor.
Great for situations where you need to empower a specific survivor.

Advanced Leadership

Give an action point to all nearby survivors.
This is the first special tier ability! Unlock it by finding the blueprint from high tier loot.

[Balance] Reduced the action point cost of the 'Attack and Defend' ability [1 AP => 0 AP]
[Balance] Reduced the action point cost of the 'Sweeper' ability [2 AP => 1 AP]

Game Modes & Difficulty Levels

Survival mode now has three difficulties, Easy, Normal, and Hard.

The are many differences between the difficulties, but some key ones include:

The amount of zombies.
The length of the day-night cycle.
Generosity of starting conditions.
Potency of hazardous rifts

There are now two more supplementary game modes - Peaceful/Exploration and Lock & Load

Peaceful/Exploration

Take your time and explore the world at your own pace.
This is a game mode without zombies and with reduced amounts of hazards and rifts.

Lock & Load

Expect too many zombies to handle - fight to the last moment.
Hit the ground running with a full squad of geared survivors, ready for action.
Significantly increased zombie spawns.
This comes with two difficulty levels: hard and insane.

New Weapons

14 new weapons have been added to the game.

There is now a special tier of weapons. These weapons must have their blueprints discovered from high-level loot locations.

Remaining Patch Notes

[Balance] Made the sweet spot band for all sniper rifles more generous.
[Balance] Buffed shotguns when targeting multiple enemies. More damage is now dealt overall, though damage is still divided amongst targets.
[Balance] Numerous weapon balances to make sure all weapons have a role.
[Balance] Zombie spawns now change over the course of the game
- Earlier on, only simpler zombie variants will spawn. As the game progresses, the more difficult zombies will begin to appear.
- This smooths out the difficulty curve, making early-game easier and the late game harder.
[Balance] Starting a survival game will only give survivors tier 1 utility equipment.
[Balance] Reduced the spawn frequency and total amount of mobile putrid rifts.
[Balance] The Overdrive event now occurs ever 6 days instead of every 7.
[Balance] Increased the amount of loot spawning across the map to meet greater scrap costs with new features.
[Tutorial] Added these helpful tutorial screens:
[Balance] The World Reset may offer ammo that is above the current engineering tier of your best workshop.
[Quality of Life] Reduced the spawn frequency and total amount of mobile putrid rifts.
[Quality of Life] Headshot mode is now disabled after every attack.
[Quality of Life] Reduced the volume of the Tesla Rift.
[Quality of Life] Scatter weapons such as shotguns can now attack tiles in between zombies, whereas previously tiles had to be within the scatter in order to perform a valid attack.
[Quality of Life] Made the survivor selection visuals and grenade/mine previews much more visible.
[Quality of Life] Made the putrid zombies more obvious based on their colour and putrid glow.
[Quality of Life] When reclaiming an area, the task to clear the zombies from the area will only be visible if you are inside that area.
[Quality of Life] Disabled the ability icons in the survivor hover menu. These were added, but are too often in the way of clicking on survivors themselves.
[Bug] Fixed a soft-lock that could occur at the beginning of the inferno beam event in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a soft-lock that could occur when an aggressive zombie became passive at the same time as having moved to be next to a survivor, not allowing the zombie turn to complete.
[Bug] Increase the stability when loading saves. There were a set of issues that could arise if your computer was too fast, spamming door sounds and showing object pop in.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where leftover inferno rifts would disappear after reloading a save where the inferno beam was already destroyed.
[Bug] Fixed a soft-lock that could occur at the beginning of the inferno beam event in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed an edge case where there was an issue when a wide scatter could potentially hit multiple inferno beacons in one attack.[Bug] Fixed a soft-lock that could occur at the beginning of the inferno beam event in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where rebuilding a facility in a reclaimed area would incorrectly require the area to be explored again.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the overview menu button pointing to the archives was not linked.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where a passive zombie could move through a closed door in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where you could circumvent the container salvage process through the inventory hotkey in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where you could not load a game with a save number of 1.
[Bug] Restored the physics explosion to the frag and spike utility payload.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where a task producing the AKS74u would incorrectly create an AK47.
[Bug] Fixed a visual bug where the velocity ejected shells from guns would not respect the direction the survivor was facing.
[Bug] The reload button was visually interactable in the case where you don't have enough ammo reserves to reload when it should not have been.
[Bug] Fixed an audio bug where not all sound effects would not play for the molotov payload.
[Bug] Tidied up visual artefacts with bright objects in the Outskirts district.
[Bug] Fixed a visual map bug where the canal gas in the Putrid Den did not fully touch the northern canal edge.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the trackable corner would not update until closing the workshop menu during the tutorial.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the zombie putrid heal ability was not applying as expected.
[Bug] Fixed a visual bug where certain zombie variants were not displaying their correct disappearing animation after death.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where a zombie could spawn in a few isolated tiles hovering over the void rift.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the survivor recruitment board would say fewer than zero turns remaining before refresh
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the survivor recruitment board may have had issues after loading from a save.
[Bug] Fixed a UI bug where there were duplicates of the ability icons for potential survivor recruits.

Update #21 - Shock & Awe

Hi there!

Update #21 adds new dangers and opportunities themed around electric damage.

[Game] New Hazard: Electricity

Status	Description
	The electric hazard lasts two turns and deals 15 base damage per turn. Unlike the fire, gas and bleed hazards, there is no way for a survivor to mitigate the electric hazard. Zombies with armour will take an extra 20% penetration damage when hit with electricity. This reinforces the gameplay role of electric damage; it is extra effective against armoured zombies.

[Game] New Mobile Rift: Tesla Rift

This new rift acts in a similar way to the mobile Putrid and Inferno Rifts.

The Tesla Rift is comparatively larger than the other mobile rifts and moves faster.
This is balanced by the electric hazard being shorter lived, so the 'tail' of hazards left behind is shorter for a Tesla Rift.
These rifts starting appearing close to day 6.

[Game] New Zombie: Electric Zombie

Electric zombies emit a trail of electric hazards, much like putrid zombies and inferno zombies.

When an electric zombie takes damage or is attacking a survivor, this will trigger a 'Shock Arc'. A shock arc damages a nearby zombie or survivor and then jumps to them. Shock damage is dealt with each subsequent jump, halving until the damage stops. Use this to your advantage to damage clusters of zombies, but beware, melee is not appropriate for fighting electric zombies!

[Equipment] New Utility Payload: Electric

Time to turn shock damage against the zombies.

Payload	Description
	You can now add a shock explosion payload to mines and grenades. This has a narrower blast radius than a molotov but a greater hazard coverage inside that area of effect.
	You can add an electric payload to bear trap blades. This give a high chance to shock a zombie in addition to the bleed and pinned hazards given by the bear trap.

[Equipment] New Ammo Augment: Electric

Electric ammo has a high chance to shock a zombie. Watch out!

Overview Menu Rework & Extension

The overview menu has been expanded and new sub-menus have been added. A new dot selector now sits at the top of the menu to help navigation.

Added the Library Tab - This offers a simple area to move the camera to the nearest library or open the library menu.
Added the Armoury Tab - Similarly, this is a simple menu to move the camera or open the base container.
Added the Stats Menu - A few gameplay statistics are shown here. These are broken down per survivor or globally.
Added the Archives Menu - This holds all of the tutorial prompts shown throughout the game.

Remaining Patch Notes

[Quality of Life] Survivor automation will only cancel if there is a zombie that is too close to a survivor and it's in their line of sight. For example, automation would previously cancel with a passive zombie on the other side of a wall, which is not a sufficient threat to cancel automation.
[Balance] Zombies on fire will take 20% extra armour damage. This helps make the role of fire damage more consistent; it is extra effective at shredding armour.
[Bug] Fixed a nasty bug that could occur when starting a new game after an update.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where mobile hazard rifts would not refresh their visibility until the rift turn.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the 'build a facility' quest goal would not load correctly.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where hover menus would not operate correctly if you finished the tutorial in an edge case.
[Bug] The Mosin was not displaying any attributes in the inventory when it should have been.
[Bug] Stopped blood decals occasionally spawning high in the air.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where loading a game through the load menu would instead start a new game in an edge case.
[Bug] Fixed a visual map issue where the road was overlapping on the western edge of the outskirts district.
[Bug] Fixed a visual bug where carried mines would not have the white-coloured highlight when viewed through a wall.
[Bug] Fixed an audio bug where some of the mine activation sounds would not trigger.

I appreciate your time and attention! For reading this far, here is a quick sneak peek - stay tuned for news about Undeadly launching into 1.0 soon!

Hi there!
We are continuing to celebrate the 1 year mark of Early Access for Undeadly.

[Map] The workshop doors in the autorepair building are now interactable.

[Map] Added a new spawn location for the survivor recruitment board at the supermarket.
[Quality of Life] Automated Workshop & Medical Bay

Engineers completing tasks and doctors healing patients will now be automated, much like looting and removing barricades.
Part of the automation quality of life improvements.
[Balance] Reduced the scrap cost of building a medical bay [150 => 120]
[Balance] Increased the scrap cost of building an armoury [0 => 40]
[Quality of Life] The starting location for your survivor group now has a wider exclusion zone to prevent zombies spawning too close in a new game.
[Quality of Life] The time taken to build facilities is now displayed as a fraction of days (when the duration is one or more days in length).
[Quality of Life] The facility hover menu is disabled while a replacement construction is taking place to prevent confusion.
[Quality of Life] Using the mitigate hazard ability now closes the ability bar if you are using the key navigation mode.
[Map] Improved the collision and object positions around the last stand house.
[Bug] Fixed a soft-lock that could occur when a survivor dies from their own molotov flame.
[Bug] Fixed line-of-sight leaks in variant B of the burnt house and the fence near the last stand house.
[Bug] Fixed the fence near construction site which had collision issues and line-of-sight leaks.
[Bug] Fixed a clearable barricade that could be walked through by one tile in the burnt house.
[Bug] Fixed a regression from update 19 where some clutter objects were made invisible to the camera.

Hi there!

Update #18 brings a few technical changes and some quality of life improvements to coincide with the Steam Spring Sale.

New Game Menu

The New Game Menu has been reworked.

This is ready to support difficulties and different game modes, which will be a part of the 1.0 release.

Custom Game Menu

The first version of the Custom Game Menu has been added.

The first version of the Custom Game Menu offers a basic variety of options to create modified gameplay experiences. For example, there are options available to change the survivor spawn count, the number of initial zombies, the zombie spawn frequency and so on. If you wish to customise your game further, there are more options that can be found following this guide here.

Unit Hover Menu Improvements

The hover menu has been improved for survivors and zombies.

The changes were made especially to improve readability when zombies are close together. Thanks for the feedback in this regard - more criticisms here are encouraged.

The changes:

Added an option to disable health/armour sliders in the HUD unless mouse is focusing on the element.
- This setting can be toggled in the options menu under 'Options => Accessibility => Always Show Zombie Health Bars'
- And 'Options => Accessibility => Always Show Survivor Health Bars'
Tweaked the colouring and added new tooltips.
Survivor abilities will now show in the expanded version of the survivor hover menu.

Reload Preview

When you mouse over the reload button, the amount that will be reloaded is now previewed on the ammo bar.

New Status: Obliteration

Status	Description
	Obliteration - If you attack a zombie with high-trauma ammunition like buckshot or slugs, there is a chance that the zombie will be obliterated, killing the zombie instantly.

Remaining Patch Notes

[Bug] Fixed a bug where the damage text appeared small in some cases.
[Bug] Some typos fixed in menus.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the hover menu for molotov mines and flare mines remained after the mines were activated.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the highlight effect would remain on activated mines with fuses.

As always, be sure to drop any feedback in the Discord server or the in game feedback tool.

Hi there!
I'm excited to release an update that adds a new area to the map and brings several quality of life features.
[Map] Outskirts
The Outskirts District is a new area west of the Residential District.
Here you will find a burger restaurant, supermarket, ambulance and a military area. Have fun exploring and looting!
[Game] Clearable Barricades

These are items in the map that take time to remove.
Once they are cleared, you can access previously blocked off areas.
The salvage faster ability also increases the speed a survivor will clear objects.
[Quality of Life] Automated Actions

Survivors will automatically progress actions to completion when scavenging, salvaging, or clearing objects.
You can see that a survivor is automated as they have different action point icons.
You can cancel the automation by moving the survivor or by using equipment.
You will still see all regular camera events while automated, so for example, if a zombie gets too close, you can move away or attack it as you normally would.
This setting can be disabled in the options menu under 'Options => Game => Automate Survivor Actions'
In future updates, this will also be applied to healing in the Medical Bay and completing tasks in the Workshop.
Patch Notes

[Audio] Added sound effects to looting.
[Audio] Added a new night-time music track 'Shadows and Dust' from Scott Buckley.
[Quality of Life] The inventory menu will automatically open when a survivor has finished scavenging or salvaging a container and it is still their turn.
[Quality of Life] Added a warning when loading saves which are potentially too old for the current version of the game.
[Balance] Reduced the spawn rate of putrid zombies outside of the Putrid Den. (12% => 8%)
[Bug] Fixed a bug where salvage faster would not apply its benefit in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where multiple hazards of the same type could incorrectly be added to a unit in some cases.
As always, be sure to drop any feedback in the Discord server or the in game feedback tool.

Hi there
I've made some fixes and improvements based on community feedback.

[Quality of Life] New feature - Long Range Movement This is a mode that makes it more convenient to move survivors across large distances. You can activate this mode by holding the 'Control' key and left clicking on a distant tile. The survivor will move towards this tile every turn.
[Quality of Life] The following elements now scale with modified game speed:
The camera zoom-out motion that happens when fitting multiple subjects in the frame.
Animations for the void ship disappearing/appearing.
[Game] New feature - Survivor Recruitment
You are now able to recruit new survivors in game. Do this by discovering and approaching the survivor recruitment board, found somewhere in the map.
Survivors take different amounts of turns to be recruited, and some will require scrap or meds.
The recruitment board refreshes every few days.
The board will only appear in new save games.
[Balance] Reduced the number of starting survivors from 6 to 4.
[Balance] Reduced the number of zombies that start active on the map from 50 to 35.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the camera could go outside of bounds after loading in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where loot would not appear on the void ship.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the friendly fire warning would not show in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where engarde would not trigger if the last player to move in a turn activated engarde.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where a sequence error could occur at the start of the tutorial.

Hi there!
I'm excited to release Part 2 of the first major update to Undeadly.
[Game] Inferno Rift
This mobile rift moves around in a zig-zag pattern, is able to phase through walls and leaves behind a dense trail of fire.
[Game] New Event: Inferno Beam
A random Flux Beam will now have a chance to turn into an Inferno Beam.
This beam will spawn inferno zombies and inferno rifts.
An Inferno Beam can only be disabled if all the fiery beacons surrounding it are destroyed.
[Map] Residential District Expansion
The Residential District has been expanded westwards.
There are some news areas to loot.
[Game] New Survivor Ability: Mitigate Hazards Faster
This ability doubles the rate of hazard mitigation (e.g. stopping bleeds) for a survivor and any nearby survivors.
'Mitigate Hazards Faster' costs 1 ability token and can be accessed towards the bottom of the doctor ability category. This has shifted 'Cheaper Healing' and 'Faster Healing' upwards in the ability tree.

[Balance] Increased the day length by 2 turns (18=>20).
[Balance] Increased the active/inactive durations of flux beams from (9-12) to (11-16).
[Quality of Life] Added a requested feature to turn off the camera rotation in the main menu. This can be found under 'Options => Accessibility => Main Menu Rotates'
[Quality of Life] You can now cycle slots in the equipment wheel by scrolling the mouse wheel.
[Quality of Life] Made the outline effect for looting and interactable objects much more obvious.
[Quality of Life] Added an option to not play the introduction sequence when starting a new game. This can be found under 'Options => General => Show Intro Sequence' Link
[Quality of Life] Added an option to hide the Discord button. This can be found under 'Options => General => Show Discord Button'
As always, be sure to drop any feedback in the Discord server or the in game feedback tool.
Thanks for the feedback, feature requests and bug reports that have been coming in. Much appreciated!

Hi there!

I'm excited to release Part 1 of the first major update to Undeadly.

Let's dive in!

[Game] Inferno Zombie

Inferno zombies are a tough new variant.

Inferno Zombies leave behind a trail of fire as they move, have increased health and immunity to fire. They rarely spawn during normal gameplay but will have a stronger presence in Part 2.

[Game] New Hazards: Bleeding & Puncture

Bleeding	Puncture
Bleeds cause 6 damage every turn and last 9 turns.	This makes the targeted unit move 1 tile less per action point for 5 turns.
Like with fire and toxic gas, a bleeding survivor can spend action points to reduce the bleed timer.	A punctured survivor has no mitigation opportunity.
Some ammo modules, utility modules and weapons now have a chance to cause bleeds.	The new 'Spike' payload gives the puncture hazard.
Some zombies have a chance to give a survivor a bleed when they attack.

[Equipment] New Utility Payload: Spike

The Spike payload is a nasty improvised explosive that deals a variable amount of damage.

The spike payload can be attached to mines and grenades. While it deals a low amount of damage, the spike payload causes the new puncture hazard and has a good chance to cause a bleed hazard in targeted zombies.

[Equipment] New Ammo Augment: Incendiary

Incendiary ammo has a high chance to set a zombie on fire. Watch out!

[Equipment] New Weapons

Six new weapons have been added. Check them out!

[Balance] Weapon Rebalances

Some weapons have been tuned. link

Weapon	Changes
Axe	Weight 12.5 => 14 Bleed Chance => 15% (Armour) Armour Damage 60% => 75% (Armour) Penetration Damage 25% => 10%
Bat (wire)	Weight 7.5 => 5 Bleed Chance => 40% (Armour) Ignored Damage 20% => 50% Armour Damage 40% => 30% Penetration Damage 40% => 20%
Machete	Bleed Chance => 40% (Armour) Ignored Damage 15% => 20% (Armour) Penetration Damage 25% => 20%
Deagle	Weight 10 => 9
M1911	Damage Min 70 => 68
FAL	Range 19.5 => 21
SPAS	Damage Min 90 => 92 Engineering Tier 2 => 3
Trench Gun	Damage Min 92 => 94 Weight 12.5 => 12 Engineering Tier 1 => 2
M700s	Damage Min 105 => 106
SVD	Range 24 => 25 Engineering Tier 3 => 2

[Quality of Life] Moveable Traps

Survivors can now disarm, pick up and redeploy mines and bear traps. Link

Patch Notes

[Equipment] Bear traps have a chance to sever zombie legs and instantly make them into a crawler, regardless of health.
[Balance] Scatter weapons (e.g. a shotgun when using buckshot) have been rebalanced. link
- The scatter does not pass through multiple zombies, unless the zombie is a crawler.
- The damage dealt is divided amongst the number of targets in the scatter.
- You can also now more freely aim the scatter gun instead of only clicking on zombies (for example, it's closer to how you can throw a grenade).
[Balance] Tweaked coverage of the mobile putrid rifts (they will now no longer go through the base).
[Balance] Decreased the base number of turns taken to study (18 => 14).
[Equipment] Updated the model for the Glock, M1911 and G36.
[Equipment] Updated the images for some weapons to be clearer
[Equipment] Updated the sound effects for some weapons.
[Quality of Life] Better equipment information display. Link
- Melee weapons and ammo now show their armour damage profile in the inventory, equipment wheel.
- The equipment corner now shows the weapon name and armour damage profile when moused over.
[Quality of Life] Improved visibility of hover menus. link
- These are the menus that float above survivors, zombies and so on.
- For non-focused hover menus, they have decreased scale, are more transparent and hide some elements.
- For the focused hover menu, it is now always on top, more opaque and has mouse padding to help usability.
[Quality of Life] There is now a friendly fire warning when using AOE equipment such as explosives and scatter guns. Link
[Quality of Life] Added a tutorial prompt for the zombie heatmap. This is triggered the first time the player takes damage.
[Quality of Life] Clicking an ability icon on the HUD opens the library menu and focuses on the ability that was clicked.
[Quality of Life] Clicking on ammo icons within the inventory info panel will now open that ammo in the ammo crafter menu.
[Quality of Life] Improved readability of cooldown text in the ability bar.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where overkill could be activated with a keypress when it should not have.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where overkill would apply to other weapons in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed the alignment of some weapon projectile effects.
[Bug] Fixed bug where ejected shells would appear large for one frame in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the damage hover messages would overlap in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the modifier message in the ammo crafter menu would not display correctly in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where placed items would visually duplicate with saving and loading in some cases.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where the bear trap would look as though it was deployed after loading.
[Bug] Fixed a bug where hazards were ending one turn too early.

As always, be sure to drop any feedback in the Discord server or the in game feedback tool.

There are also some exciting additions coming in Part Two of Blood & Flame. Stay tuned!

Thanks, ːsteamthumbsupː
