Hey Guys,
A late Christmas pressie for you all, the deathmatch preview of our ItemV2 development branch is now public on steam.
You can grab it by opening up your Hurtworld steam properties, then the Betas tab and switch to the ItemV2 branch.
Also be sure to check out the new Skybox by switching to Tenkoku in settings (will currently cost you some FPS, we will work on getting it back to baseline performance soon)
This will download an entirely new version of Hurtworld that won't be compatible with current survival servers. However you can switch back to the default branch at any time.
The build contains some small deathmatch gamemode maps to preview some of the new WIP equipment code and weapons. I have also spun up servers in all regions running our new cityaim practice map.
I will work on a combined build soon so you can checkout our latest progress without having to hop branches constantly, but for now you will need to switch builds.
For those that didn't see it, we posted Dev Blog #61 while steam was down so couldn't make a news post about it.
There is a bit more details on the Dethmatch preview, female hair sculpts, work on new melee combo + charge attacks, and some more weapon prototypes.
