Playtest #35 - Bot Power Battles!

Obscurity: Unknown Threat · published 19 Dec 2024, 14:34 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Happy Holidays! Some large reworks have occurred this time around that we hope you enjoy.

This update we've tried to focus on the elimination game mode and bot support, so if you're only going to try one thing make sure it's a test of Human: Elimination with your bot teammates!

We also have a loadout system rework enabling full customisation during a match. A total recoil system overhaul to guns that allows players to counter and control gun kick. New power weapons accessible via gold resupply crates currently in Zombie: Horde mode and much more.

Please note that the bots have also received significant brainpower boosts and as a consequence they're using a bit more of the hosts's CPU than we would like. There are sliders to adjust the amount of bots via the 'Bot Elimination' button on the main menu as well is in the 'Admin Panel' during a match, but don't be afraid to hop into a dedicated server if your PC is struggling. There will be many bot optimisations in later patches.

Whether solo, coop or pvp - we hope you enjoy this extended playtest and have a safe and happy holiday season!
