Reticle Blocking BegoneCurrently there are two situations where your reticle will get blocked, aiming uphill and while crouch strafing, both of which make it extremely difficult to aim. With today's patch we have made the following adjustments that address these issues: Lowered the weapon placement on the back of the character model to prevent weapons from blocking the reticle when aiming up hill. Moved the crouched camera height up to prevent the players head from blocking the reticle when strafing side to side while crouched. Optimizations Made an optimization to how the system handles packet bundling. Players should be seeing an improvement of 5-10 ms in their…

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…

[H1Z1 Updates] Launch Day Producer's Letter
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 467 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…
