Update 23 - Fixes, Balance & New Support Abilities

Hi there

I've released a small update to address some feedback since the launch. I've receive a ton of feedback, with some people drawing attention to bugs and common pain points. Thanks for this support!

New Support Ability: Focus

Listen closely and try to locate any potential nearby threats. When a survivor does this, the approximate locations of threats will be revealed in a short radius.

• This is useful for approaching areas with limited visibility.
• Focus costs 1 ability token and is available in low tier workshops, so it is a very accessible ability.
• The 'scavenger' preset survivor starts the game with this ability.

New Support Ability: Prepare

Ends the survivor's turn. One action point is spent preparing. After that, any remaining action points will be transferred to the next turn.

• Useful for tactically distributing your actions - there are often situations where you can wait a turn but will require more action points the next turn.
• Prepare costs 2 ability tokens and is available in medium tier workshops.

Remaining Patch Notes

• Study durations in the Library are now fixed at 12 turns [14 => 12]. They no longer increase for subsequent library sessions, whereas previously they got longer for each time the survivor studied.
• Fixed a bug which would prevent a save loading during the World Storm.
• Fixed a bug where the auto-repair shop would be inaccessible because the barricade could not be reached.
• Fixed a bug where the scavenging abilities in the ability tree showed information for communicator abilities.
• Abilities token costs reduced for most expensive abilities. This is to encourage more class hybridisation.
  • Marksman - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Overkill - Ability Token Cost [2 => 1]
  • Overkill - Action Point Cost [2 => 1]
  • Sweeper - Ability Token Cost [2 => 1]
  • Expert Engineering - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Projects Complete Faster - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Expert Healing - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Faster Healing - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Advanced Leadership - Ability Token Cost [3 => 2]
  • Communicator - Action Point Cost [2 => 1]

• Buffed the Armour Shredding ammo payload
  • Increased the armour shredding effect [70% => 90%]
  • Increased the damage dealt to unarmoured zombies [85% => 95%]

Thanks ːsteamthumbsupː
