Patch Notes

Combat
We expect the below changes to have a significant impact on gameplay difficulty and combat balance, while retaining the vision of a challenging survival horror experience - let us know your feedback!

• Implemented fixes to interrupts and hit reaction intensity animations not playing
  
  • Interrupts are when zombies can be interrupted from attacking if you hit them with enough stability damage; blunt weapons do more stability damage than sharp weapons.
• Shove (default “F” key) changes:
  
  • Increased shove stability damage so it interrupts zombie attacks
    
  • Changed shove to always do 20 stability damage (up from 15)
    
  • Shove recovery extended from 0.15s to 0.6s
    
  • Shoves can no longer combo into more shoves until the animation is complete
    
  • Reduced shove stability damage when out of stamina
• Reductions made to quick attack (right or left clicks) stability damage
  • Gameplay note: the first quick attack will flinch zombies, but not interrupt them. Comboing with further attacks will increase stability damage. Shoving or kicking can also be used to stop the zombie in its tracks.

Audio

Stability and networking

• Fixed a crash that occurred when using the Loadout system
