Hello fellow Homebrewers, clear your schedule for the coming days, put your phone on silent, call in sick, ... because today is the day! All of us have been looking forward to this moment for a long time and we're extremely excited that the initial weapons update has been set public. Prepare your cars, boats, planes, ... because it's time for action!

Some extra stuff you need to know!
So that's a whole lot of information that has been provided in our previous posts. Now let's have a look at some additional things that we'd like to mention:
Teams
When you play in multiplayer, we have the following options for you:
- Free for all: basically the standard deathmatch; every man for himself
- Teams: you can switch teams in the server menu
- Spectator: if you prefer to be peaceful and stay out of the fight you should chose this option
Although weapons are already extremely fun and quite stable, there's a chance that you"ll run into a bug. If your vehicle behaves weird, don't panic, we are constantly fixing bugs and will be releasing patches as fast as possibly.
At the same time we are monitoring steam, DISCORD and our other channels even more over the course of the following days. In the unfortunate event that you encounter a bug please follow these steps so that we can solve it even faster:
- See if you can replicate the bug
- Be as specific as possible about the issue, the more information the better. Preferably attach your output_log.txt file which can be located in: installed directory / HB146_Data folder (right click on Homebrew in your game library, select properties and then browse local files)
- Notify us on Steam or Discord
Special thanks
We’d like to thank Mr. Medic for helping us with the math and the systems behind the physics and improved weapon behaviour. His feedback and insight has helped us to change things for the better and this update wouldn’t be possible without his contributions!
In addition we want to thank our awesome moderators, wiki contributors, the beta testers and the entire community in general. Without you Homebrew as we know it wouldn't exist, so thanks a ton for being part of our adventure.
DREAM - BUILD - ENJOY
