## New Features
**Outbreak**
- A new Outbreak system with 2 possible zones: the camp and the parking. What will you find?
**Creatures**
- New enemy: the Grimling.
**World**
- New places to explore in the south of the map: Lookout Falls, the Quarry, the Impact Crater and the South Ravine canyon trail that links them.
**Loot**
- Containers you have not opened yet give off a soft sparkle, so you can spot them.
## Revamps
**Zombies**
- New attacks: a claw combo, a grab lunge, a ground slam and a scream.
- The bile attack now comes out in pulses, and other zombies no longer shield you from it.
- New hit reactions depending on where you hit them, and they fall in different directions when they die.
- New voices and body sounds. You can now hear a zombie from much farther away.
- They walk up to you instead of sliding, and chase at a jog.
- Zombies no longer leave a corpse to loot, same as Grimlings.
**Melee**
- A strong melee hit can knock an enemy back and throw them to the ground. A killing blow sends the body flying.
- Swings now also hit the enemy in reach that is closest to your crosshair, so it is easier to land a hit on what you are aiming at.
**Camera**
- Smoother third-person camera: it eases back out more slowly, and steps and slopes no longer make it bob.
- Leaving a building no longer snaps the camera straight back out.
**World**
- Fewer small points of interest along the forest road. There were way too many.
- Map markers in the HUD are bigger.
## Bug Fixes
**Spawning**
- Players no longer all end up at the same few spawn points when some of them are blocked. A blocked spawn now finds a free spot nearby, and spawn points nobody is standing on are used first.
**Creatures**
- Creatures no longer hurt each other with their melee attacks.
**World**
- Containers no longer look exactly like the scenery around them, so you can tell a lootable crate from a decorative one.
**Stability**
- Fixed a 2 second freeze when walking back into an area that had been unloaded.
- The menu no longer opens twice in some cases.
