Oh that's right, we're back with another Weekend Event[www.h1z1.com] with Skulls, Skulls, and more Skulls for those of you that can finish in the Top 10. [www.h1z1.com] If you haven't played Swagnum Opus yet, all players will spawn with a golden magnum and a single golden bullet that will kill another player with one shot, even through armor! You can pick up more golden bullets from the increased amount of crate drops around the map, but take note that each drop is accompanied by a sky-high golden ray, attracting players from all over to their location.

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…

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…

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…

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.

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.

Today we’ve updated H1Z1 with additional Steam Community Market support. Previously, only locked Crates could be traded, but starting now, all tradeable items from within those crates, along with tradeable special event and giveaway items, can be traded on the Steam Marketplace. We’re excited to bring yet another option to all of you, allowing each player to put their unique spin on their in-game personality. While some games on Steam allow for their in-game items to be listed instantly upon being added to a player's inventory, H1Z1 will retain the current 7-day waiting period before items can be placed on the Steam Community Market.

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…
