Now Live Update February 19 - Public Camps, Trading and Chat

Dear Survivors,

As usual, thank you for all your feedback!

The update is now available on all branches.

  • You can now create public camps!!!
    • Public camps are accessible to everyone and can be created / selected from your camp selection screen.
    • When joining a public camp, you control an avatar that is the same in all public camps.
    • When you create a public camp, you can choose the default grade of your visitors, the maximum number of players that can play simultaneously on the camp and the % of friendly fire damage.

  • New membership management tool has been added.

    • From "guest" to "member" or even "associate", promote your teammates to give them more administration rights on your camp.
    • Added the option to banish players from your public camp.

  • A "private chest" has been added in the Kovac's bunker, allowing you to recover the non-exchangeable special objects that you have destroyed.

    • This means you can now destroy them, in preparation of the next game update including the weight management ^_^ (hint hint, clean your backpacks out now!)

  • Trading to other players has been added.

    • Your trade partner must be within 10 meters to trade to.

  • A chat interface has been added to send predefined messages / emoticons to your teammates!

    • The chat interface replaces the flashlight's switching button / key (By default Alt / Rb button.)
    • Hold the chat button to open the chat, select the sentence / emoticon among the multiple thematic wheels available and release the button to send your message.
    • You can change your audience target to talk to the players in your raid, on the camp or both of them.

  • The flashlight is now an inventory object.

    • A flashlight is automatically added to your backpack when you create a new character.
    • Already existing survivors will find the flashlight in their private chest, in Kovac's bunker. Don't forget it as it gets dark and dangerous out there at night!
    • The flashlight can be switched on / off by selecting its icon in the quick inventory and activate / deactivate it.

  • Prices and required levels of character's skills have been increased to bring more strategy to the game.
  • When you open a chest, a "Transfer everything" button has been added to give you the possibility to drop all the content of the current tab of your inventory to this chest.
  • The map of Kovac's bunker is now visible.
  • Notifications have been added when a building or a barricade is attacked.
  • Barricades can be repaired and upgraded now!
  • The weapons customization interface (aka "modules interface") has been improved to display the good stats and to give you the option to rotate the 3d model.
  • The craft bug button MAKE when using a mouse has been fixed.

If you experience any crash, please send the proc.dmp file to [email protected]
