The Dinovember Update for Primal Carnage: Extinction has been released!
Read all about it...
STORE REFRESH
Halloween Horrors is behind us, but we have some frightfully good new looks in-store for Carnotaurus. This charging bruiser is the latest featured class as part of our new regular store rotation, with several new community-created cosmetics available now, alongside a character skin pack for the Carno.
MAP STAMPS
In our last major update we added 3 new maps developed by our fans. We've loved seeing the positive response to these, and wanted to provide a way to give something back to the creators for their hard work. To that end, we are introducing Map Stamps to the store this month.
Map makers will receive two thirds of all profits from stamp purchases. As well as supporting creators, there is a unique skin obtained by purchasing each map stamp for your generosity!

LOADOUT INCONSISTENCIES
A while ago, the throwable items for human classes were re-arranged. However, there was a bug where loadouts would not be properly validated, which sometimes caused the wrong items to appear equipped.
The update *should* resolve this issue, but as a result everyone's loadout will be reset to default. You will need to re-equip your skins and weapons when next starting the game.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
RANKING SYSTEM FIXES
Over the past few weeks a number of backend fixes have been deployed for the economy system. Challenges and rankup rewards should hopefully be working properly now after this latest patch. We will be continuing to put more checks in place server-side, to ensure that the system is working as intended.
Be sure to head on over to the Issues & Bug Reporting forum if you encounter any problems.
