Hey Survivors! It's time again for another weekly update!
What's all coming in the next update content-wise?
The next patch which will be out in the next two weeks including three new scenarios in the new forest area (Campaign, Onslaught, Experiments), numerous character trait tweaks, several small UI updates, the new Nightmare difficulty mode and a host of performance and quality of life improvements.
The Hills Have Teeth
The next location is well into development (as we revealed last week). You'll be venturing into an atmospheric forest area in hope of repairing a vehicle and getting the heck out of there! We've wrapped up much of the work for the Onslaught variant in that location, as well as the new Experiments content as well.
Countdown - Experiments Mode
Countdown will be the next Experiments mode taking place in the forest. In Countdown, you'll have to find and defeat several bosses, gather the repair parts and fix the vehicle before time runs out. You start with just a few minutes of time and are awarded more time from killing enemies and landing melee strikes. If you heal you'll be hit with a time penalty though.
It's a brutal adventure as you desperately struggle to find enough equipment to take down the foes ahead of you as quickly as possible. Players will spawn in two separate groups and how you approach the level is entirely your call. Split up and try to eliminate all bosses simultaneously... or work through them one by one as a team. But be aware, things aren't done once all the parts are applied to the car... you'll have one last threat to endure that will require a team effort!
Nightmare Difficulty
Think Biohazard was rough? Get ready for Nightmare. It's the ultimate fight for survival where enemies will kill you and your friends in ONE HIT. But there is some fairness in the apocalypse, you'll find your own damage accelerated as well. Firearms will pack a bit more of a punch, but your melee attacks will be absolutely devasating. Think it's worth risking the chance to take down a zombie with your knife and save those Magnum rounds? It's your call, but if you miss, you're dead. Nightmare difficultly is available across all scenarios.
But what about the city?
The city location is still deep in development and we don't have anything to share just yet, but we will a bit after the Forest location drops. Trust us, it's going to be awesome.
Stay tuned for more updates and the next major content release coming in the next two weeks! Get ready for some crushing difficulty and a bit of variety in your lives! ːoutbreakzombieː
