Hey Contractors Family,
As we approach the end of 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on this incredible year and share some exciting updates coming your way for both Contractors and Contractors Showdown.
We hope you enjoyed the Halloween headquarters and Pumpkin Head Zombies in Contractors! We know many of you have been asking about our roadmap, and we’re thrilled to announce that a major update is scheduled on November. For Contractors Showdown, we’re especially proud of everything we’ve built together this year. We started 2024 with Alpha tests, and thanks to your feedback, we’re ending it with a brand-new transformation designed just for you.
Now, let’s dive into what’s next for both games!

The modding community has consistently delivered amazing content for everyone to enjoy! We’re excited to bring new features to the mod kit, including vehicles, the Rush game mode, and mechanics like vaulting and zip lines. We’re also increasing player numbers to make each session even more intense. Get ready for the next level of Contractors in November!
With these new features and tools enhancing player mobility—thanks to our amazing modding community—we’re confident that Contractors will deliver fresh, exciting experiences. Vehicles and zip lines will bring a whole new rhythm to the game, adding layers of strategy and dynamic movement that keep gameplay fast-paced and engaging.

Both Bhaptic and Forcetube SDK will be updated to match the latest versions.
Contractors VR will also get EAC implemented
We know it’s been quiet lately, and we owe you an explanation.
The recent trends in player activity prompted us to pause and rethink the future direction for Contractors Showdown. Our small team at Caveman Studio has been working hard to craft a major update that will bring fresh intensity and depth to the game, with new systems and gameplay features that build on what you already love about Showdown.
Today, we’re excited to hint at what’s to come: Contractors Showdown is preparing for a major evolution. With this update, we’re doubling down on immersion, strategy, and player-driven excitement to create a revitalized experience. We can’t share everything just yet, but rest assured, playtests are on the way, and we’re eager for you to experience it firsthand.
Here are some exciting features that we are working on. Due to the file size limits, for detailed sneak peak, please check out our official website: www.contractorsvr.com/devblog
We know how much the classic Battle Royale mode means to many of you, and we want to reassure you that it’s here to stay. The fast-paced, adrenaline-filled BR experience will remain a core part of Contractors Showdown, so you’ll still be able to dive into those intense matches you know and love. With this update, you’ll get the best of both worlds, enjoying the original BR mode alongside a fresh new gameplay experience—each offering its excitement and challenges.
For the upcoming “new season” of Contractors Showdown, we know you probably have a lot of questions—and we’re thrilled to see your excitement! Rest assured, we’ll be sharing more sneak peeks and details very soon. We’d also like to invite all of you to participate in the upcoming playtest, and we can’t wait to work together again to make this “new season” the best one yet!
Thank you for sticking with us, for your patience, and for sharing this journey. We’re so grateful for this community and excited about what’s coming next. Keep an eye out for more updates soon—we’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us.

Dear Operators,
The newest patch is finally dropped! This update focuses on optimizing your overall immersive experience, balancing weapons, introducing exciting new features, and fixing those annoying bugs.
Your feedback and suggestions have been heard! After the announcement of our July patch preview, many players have expressed concern that the aim assist will hinder or break the immersion of Contractors. In the update, we have removed the soft lock aim assist and kept the stabilization.
What’s more, we decided to add as many new prototype features we have been working on, such as sprint animation, so everyone can experience a fresh gaming experience.
While working on Contractors Showdown, we are rebuilding the whole development process and code strings to avoid legacy flaws and refreshing some outdated features to refresh the game's experience.
With experience optimization, weapon balancing, new features, and bug fixes on the horizon, we are confident that this game update will be a solid patch on the way to v.1.0 of Contractors.

We have dedicated our efforts to optimizing various aspects of the visual, ensuring fully upgraded sprinting animations, improved slide performance, and reduced movement lags. Get ready to immerse yourself in a new Contractors fight!

Due to the wild shaking and magnification, most scopes are rarely picked, and some of the reticles and patterns are even incorrect. The magnifying logic has been completely reworked, new patterns have been added to different scopes, and the high scopes have been made more stable.

Maintaining a fair and competitive environment is crucial to us. In response to community feedback, we have gathered the weapon statistics and made necessary adjustments to ensure the overall weapon choices are more balanced. The orientation is to generally buff weapons, and optimize cumbersome interactions, such as awkward scope positions, annoying pistol wobblies, and terrible shotgun shot spreads. It’s time to pick up some weapons that you may have forgotten.
Occasionally encountering some bizarre bugs during play can be frustrating. Since some long-reported bugs were difficult to fix due to legacy flaws, our team reconstructed the old structure in order to address the community's reported issues. Several game-breaking bugs that have been affecting your gameplay will be fixed with this update.

As you can see, we have made lots of weapon balancing in the patch, please let us know what do you think of it and your expectations for the weapon balancing in the future!

Contractors Assemble - The Showdown is Here
Watch the official teaser:
Dear operators,
We are honored to announce our new title, Contractors Showdown.
Contractors Showdown is a competitive PVP shooter game set in the Contractors universe.
To seize the ground control private corporations dispatch specialized operators to uncover the groundbreaking secret by any means necessary. A large number of anonymous operators hired by large corporations, equipped with advanced equipment, have been deployed to the desolate island that was previously classified. Dropped onto treacherous land, operators have transformed the abandoned base into an arena.
Explore the uninhabited, rugged land that has remained ungoverned for decades. Survive, loot, upgrade, engage, and use your tactics against relentless enemies and dangers on the desolate island. Enter the combat solo or engage with allies to fight against all odds as a team.
Survival requires teamwork, adaptability, and skill to dominate. Experience the dynamic battlefield and intense firefights. There are NO RULES beyond victory on this lawless island.

Here we have highlighted some of the features that you may have in mind! This FAQ may change in the future as development continues.
Q: What platforms will the game launch on?
A: We plan to bring the game to multiple platforms just as Contractors did. Since the game is still in development, we'll keep all our players informed of the latest progress.
Q: What distinguishes Contractors Showdown from Contractors?
A: Contractors Showdown features the fastest, most intense, and most tactical experience since our previous game, to lead an exhilarating fight across the dynamic battlefield and rugged terrain with boundless gameplay. In creating the advanced battle-royale experience, we created a 4km x 4km large map and added massive new features such as tactical PDA, call-in support, weapon customization, gear upgrades, damage indicators, etc. Furthermore, some long-requested features such as progression, matchmaking, and daily quests, will also be included. Our goal is to create an even more thrilling and engaging experience than what everyone experienced in Contractors!
Q: Will Contractors Showdown allow mods?
A: No at the first time of its release. Adding mods to Contractors Showdown is a complex task. We will listen to the modders and collect as many opinions as we can, and decide if the mod will be added after we have finished and released the base game.
Q: Does Contractors Showdown support crossplay?
A: Yes. Crossplay is a feature that we always prioritize.
Q: What's the future of Contractors?
A: We will continuously update Contractors to version 1.0 as promised. We understand that everyone may feel worried about Contractors. As previously mentioned in the above question, we have refined many of the shabby mechanics from Contractors, and added many new features for Contractors Showdown, some of these can be integrated into Contractors in future updates as well. A new quality-of-life patch will be released in July to address some of the glitches and optimize some features. Check out our sitrep to learn more: https://www.contractorsvr.com/single-post/june-14th-2023-situation-report
Q: When and where can we expect more info from the Contractors Showdown?
A: You can always check out more info on our official website, Discord, and social media! From now on, we will release artwork and videos every month on our official website, Twitter, TikTok, and Discord channel to keep you updated!
Q: When is the release date for Contractors Showdown?
A: The Contractors Showdown will be released in 2024. The exact date is TBD.
We believe you have plenty of questions in your mind! This FAQ will be updated from time to time as the development process goes on. Be sure to come back to our Discord server and social media to stay tuned! And please let us know your thoughts through Discord or on our official website!

We have noticed that sometimes it is really difficult to perform pump action shotgun reload with both trigger and grip button, especially for Index players. Thus we have added a new 'Auto shotgun pumping' option, it allows you to reload without holding the trigger button, which is easier to maintain fire rate and boost up combat performance.
