When a match starts in dynamic mode the first circle (gas wall) will be at 1.5x its old value. This will open up the starting area a bit more and allow a little breathing room. This is step one of our tuning on dynamic zones. Phase 2 changes will be up on Z1roadmap.com later today. Tradable Skins Wave 2 Unlock First patch of the …

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…

There are tons of things to be excited about within the competitive community right now: the H1Z1 Pro League is in the midst of selecting teams, the Elite Series at DreamHack Winter is just around the corner, there are lots of competitive Hosted Games occurring, and Combat Zone and Daily Challenges are getting fired up with this next update. With all the positive momentum around tournaments and competitive play, we want to take a moment to address cheating. We’ve talked about it before[www.h1z1.com]; we take cheating and hacking extremely seriously here at Daybreak. Cheating contradicts the competitive spirit of H1Z1 and ruins the fun for the other players. We’re const…

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
- 411 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…

Weekend Rules This weekend only, all players in any match of Battle Royale Solos, Duos, or Fives will have TRIPLE the usual amount of health. Don't start to feel TOO bulletproof though - you still want to be the last one standing! To participate, just queue into a regular Battle Royale Solos, Duos, or Fives match - unlike previous ruleset changes, this is NOT under the Events system. As triple health may have an effect on scoring, from now until Monday, April 30 at 10AM PT, no Battle Roya…

A few weeks ago, we shared the future of H1Z1[www.h1z1.com] with you, detailing the vision behind the Combat Update and explaining how we’re going to be leaning even more into creating a fast-paced, action-packed game from start to finish. You may remember that we said more airdrops were part of the plan, creating more risk/reward scenarios. Today, we’re excited to give you a glimpse at three new powerful weapons that will be found in airdrops. Having these new weapons in airdrops will drive the decision-making of each player regarding how much they want to engage, or wait for the right opportunity to approach. These three new weapons will arrive fully equipped and read…

As we’ve stated since the transition, our number one goal is to maintain Z1BR game service while we evaluate the steps required to continue supporting the game. As part of this process, we want to provide our players information about the game as internal decisions are made in real time. On Tuesday, April 30, we are ending Season 3. We are also shutting down South America servers at that time. This will consolidate our Americas player base on North America, speeding up queue times and ensuring Z1BR's other servers continue to operate for the vast majority of our global community as we lead into next Season. As of this time, we plan to kick off Season 4 on Tuesday, May 14…
