AR-15: Slight reduction in vertical & horizontal recoil on the first shot. Slightly more recoil growth over time. AR now deals 40 points of damage when hitting a helmet. This means that 1 Headshot and 3 Body will be enough to kill a target. Projectile Speed decreased AK-47: Slight reduction in vertical & horizontal recoil on the first shot. Slightly more recoil growth over time. Damage decreased to 23 AK now deals 40 points when hitting a helmet. This means that 1 Headshot and 3 Body will be enough to kill a target.

Hey everyone! We’re happy to announce the changes are now on the Test Server. As mentioned we’ve restored Horizontal Recoil on the AR-15 and as long as you tap, it will remain perfectly flat. We also know that some people out there loved the feeling from the AR that was on Test earlier, so we moved those tunings to the AKs single fire mode. So now, regardless of preference, you can tap until your heart is content. Let’s get onto the changes. AR-15 The recoil model has been changed and will now feature horizontal only recoil when tapping. If a user begins to spam, vertical recoil will kick in and combat spray. The bullet speed has been reduced to match the AK The b…

Ever since rolling out the new Daily Challenges system, we’ve seen players across the board respond positively about getting rewards on a more frequent basis for accomplishing in-game actions. However, we also realized that some of the Challenges were imbalanced and needed additional tweaking. Instead of just making small tweaks, we wanted to provide larger positives for the biggest accomplishments in-game. For instance, winning a match is more significant than getting a handful of random kills across multiple matches with the shotgun, so it’s now rewarded in that way. Daily Challenges should be a reflection on the game itself, so the larger milestones deserve more of a r…

What is up everyone! Today’s update touches all the guns in the game. We’ve brought back one of the most iconic game mechanics, fine-tuned the accuracy of the guns, and adjusted bullet drop and speed. There’s a lot to this update, but before we get into the details, we’d like to acknowledge and thank everyone from the Test Server and Focus Group who provided feedback to help us bring the best version of this update to life. One of the most notable additions from today’s update is horizontal recoil on the AR-15. As one of H1Z1’s most iconic game mechanics, it should feel quite familiar to those who have been around a while. Horizontal recoil keeps the firing pattern kick…

[H1Z1 Updates] A Discussion About Voice Chat
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 396 views
Voice chat. We all know and enjoy it inside of H1Z1, because it allows you to communicate quickly not just to teammates, but other players in-game, without needing an outside service. As we’ve seen over the life of the game, having in-game voice chat can be both outstanding and lead to some entertaining moments, but it can also lead to some unwanted toxicity among individuals and groups. We also understand that games of skill will often bring about some creative trash-talking which is accepted in most cases, but some individuals have been pushing that a bit too far, leading to a vastly toxic playing experience. We recently rolled out a new system that will help keep vo…

Most of what is covered in the blog below was also visually explained on a recent Community Outbreak: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/222719994 What’s up everyone! We wanted to take a few moments to talk about an important topic amongst the players, streamers, and pros alike: ENAS. For those who may not know, ENAS (also known as the Eastern North American Strafe) is a method of movement that involves moving your mouse back and forth rapidly while running forward and strafing to make yourself extremely difficult to be shot by other players. We can give credit to the naming to CDNThe3rd and the technique has become so popular you can even find it in the Urban Dictionary[www.u…

The Test Server will be brought down for one hour tonight, starting at 8:30pm PT to add the following: Seat-swapping and drop-shotting have disabled on this build while we debug other issues. ENAS movement restrictions no longer incorrectly trigger during normal left and right turns (such as navigating hallways in a building). Players now move slightly faster with fists out or while holding binoculars. Tightened up the new spawn areas in Combat Zone so that you don’t spawn too far from the action. Match start countdown is now 45 seconds instead of 90 seconds and broadcasts less frequently. Fixed an issue that was causing lat…

The newest update is coming to the Live servers on 2/5 at 7am PT. Downtime is expected to be 6 hours. In an effort to get back to the roots of H1Z1 we made the following improvements. MOVEMENT CHANGES Dodging enemy fire by sprinting and whipping your mouse around (ENAS) has become far too effective while creating extremely odd combat encounters. Therefore we have taken significant steps to address issues related to this by making adjustments to both the movement system and its values to improve gameplay and nerf ENAS. The details are provided below. Added functionality that slows player movement on rapid mouse input to combat ENAS. Reconfigured how player heading u…
