Hey Everyone,
Tonight we've got a nice big update lined up, featuring a new gamemode, a new gun, and a new perk!
Read on for the full patchnotes.
Additions and Improvements
- Added the AKM Assault Rifle -The AKM is a powerful close-mid range weapon, with its relatively slow firerate making recoil easy to control. -Using the same 7.62x39mm ammunition as the AK47, ammo should not be an issue for the AKM. -The AKM is the most reliable weapon in-game, even when damaged it's spread is very low.
- Added "Practice" Gamemode -The Practice gamemode allows players to do exactly that - practice. Get a feel of the map, check out where the best loot areas are, or just run around. -Some new servers will come up this patch, running the Practise gamemode -The Practice gamemode only requires one player to start a server
- Added the "Antivenom" perk -As some players have discovered, snakes can be a little OP (OverPowered) at times. With the Antivenom perk, this is no longer a concern, mitigating all damage taken from a snake strike.
- Added another Snake spawnpoint
- Added UI action for losing health via hunger
- Added UI action for losing health via thirst
- Added UI action for losing health when attacked
- Added Sun Shafts (turn them on in Video Settings)
- Added Gamma slider (in most cases, the default value is fine)
- Slightly reduced damage on the knife-hand strike & punch
- Improved hit detection on players that are holding weapons
- Increased size of bullet impact particle effects
- Bullet impacts are now networked - this should give you a better indication of when you have been hit

- In spectator mode, the inventory UI panel is now hidden
