If you're about to drop into your first game of H1Z1 Battle Royale, we're here to help with some quick video tutorials on the basics of the game.

[H1Z1 Updates] Test Server Schedule
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 408 views
In an effort to get more Solo matches kicked off (because that's where you'll experience the majority of the new features) we're going to be locking the Test Server and only opening it for certain hours in each region. We understand that this might be inconvenient for some players schedules but it should lead to a better experience for most. These times were determined by peak population data in each region. We'll be rotating what is open during these times but starting tomorrow, Monday February 19th, we will only have Solo games available. Keep an eye on this thread for updates on what modes will be unlocked and when. The Test Server will be open during the following t…

Hey everyone! We appreciate all the feedback already given so far. We want to reinforce a few points. 1.Provide your direct feedback via the in-game survey. Posts on Reddit are great to share your experience with others but the survey will be our main point for collecting player feedback on this particular topic. 2. Please set all of your visual settings to default. You can up the quality and resolution as you please but we need to get feedback from a universal standard across all players. 3. Do not use any external tools to adjust the colors while conducting your experiments. This will skew you results even if you only use them lightly. We are going to add two addit…

[H1Z1 Updates] Launch Day Producer's Letter
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 468 views
Today marks a momentous milestone for the team, our players, and the game -- H1Z1 has officially launched out of Early Access! H1Z1 has come a long way since we first released it three years ago. It was a unique project at Daybreak, which started with a small group of developers who were given a mission to “make something fun”. Over time, that mission evolved into one of Steam’s best-selling titles of 2017 and put Battle Royale games on the map. H1Z1 is the fast-paced, competitive battle royale game it is today because of you, our players. And, with 3 Invitationals, 3 Showdowns, 2 Elite Series stops, 1 nationally broadcasted tournament, and a Pro League[www.h1pl.com], yo…

[H1Z1 Updates] Welcome To Season One!
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 399 views
Starting with Preseason One, we set out to make H1Z1 as competitive and rewarding as possible. We added Team Scoring for Duos and Fives to continue that trend. With each Preseason we shook up the point values and Tier distribution numbers and made future decisions based on previous Preseason data. We gave out rewards for end of season placement and players were fully sporting their accomplishments in-game. Now that we're leaving Early Access, it's time to put Preseasons behind us and get started on the culmination of all that work: Season One! Season One comes with a new way of evaluating overall player performance. During the Preseasons, Royalty was solely achieved by …
