Hello Deadsiders!
Public testing of version 1.6 has begun!
This PTS will be a bit different than what you may be expecting; we will be testing changes included in version 1.6, along with some mods created by our team and modkit testers. This way we can ensure that our modding infrastructure is functioning correctly before the release of the modkit, which will be included along with the full release of update 1.6. Here are the mods that will be uploaded to the PTS, more may be added as the test goes on;
- Lethal Sniper Rifles
- Freeze Time
- Mega Stack x2000
- Golden 1911
- No Base Decay
Our primary focus recently has been getting our modkit ready to release with version 1.6, with most of our team focused completely on that. However our art team has been working on other features in the background that we hope to show soon. That leaves QA, who has been hard at work fixing bugs within the modkit, but also bugs and exploits reported by our community.
