Shotty Snipers Arcade Mode A fan favorite makes its return this week. Drop in, loot up, and get ready to fight. It is time to put both your close quarters and your long range shots to the test. Are your short and long range skills up to the task? Dynamic Safe Zone Tuning Phase 1 Dynamic safe zones are getting opened up a bit with this patch. 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 …

Over the past few months NantG has taken over development of H1Z1 and has been re-branding it to Z1 Battle Royale, the team has been working feverishly to recapture what made the game so special. The return of classic H1Z1 that everyone fell in love with, the classic movement, gun mechanics, feel of the world/environment, the works. It's all getting overhauled, and we are bringing it all back. The team has touched just about every existing system the game has, while also bringing in some brand new systems to give players more to do and interact with. This is our biggest update yet, and the kickoff of what the team here at NantG believes the game should have been all along…

A foreword from our General Manager, Anthony Castoro. "Today's patch is huge, not just because it contains tons of content, or that it's the start of the first new Season since early November, or even that the game now has a new name. It's also huge because it represents the first big delivery on the promise that the new NantG team made when it took over development last September: Bring back the game that so many of you fell in love with in the classic "King of the Kill" era around Preseason 3 at the end of 2016 and in early 2017. Since September, the NantG team has been as transparent as possible about our goals and plans and many of you have stuck with us through th…

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…

In the past few months, NantG Mobile has been working feverishly on rebranding Z1 Battle Royale and reverting the game back to its glory days. We’ve since made countless changes to Z1BR in an effort to recapture the moments that once made the game vastly popular and truly unique and special to many of you. Despite the team’s determination and commitment to revive Z1BR’s player base with our recent Season 3 launch update, we soon realized that the road is still paved with many challenges that preclude us from long-term success, including the confusion it caused by having both NantG Mobile and Daybreak managing the same game under two separate brands. Based on these …

As many of you saw last Friday, NantG officially announced their decision to transition Z1 Battle Royale back to Daybreak. Like you, we were reacting to that decision in real-time, and are still digesting what that means for the game going forward. That means we don’t have all the answers yet, but we can offer our immediate plans for now until we are ready to share more. We can share today that servers will remain up, that we have no plans to change the name of the game, or make any other big changes that will affect your current Z1BR gameplay experience. Our number one goal throughout this entire transition is to make sure there is minimal disruption to the game’s serv…

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…

[H1Z1 Updates] Z1BR and the Road Ahead of Us
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 557 views
First off, thank you all for your patience as we worked through what’s next for Z1BR. We have a deep love for this game. H1Z1 on PC, after all, is the OG BR game that launched the most popular genre in the world, and many of us have spent years working on it. We know as well as anybody how much the landscape for battle royale has changed over that time; but we still believe there is a special something to H1’s unique flavor of no-frills BR. The dev team at NantG did an amazing job bringing Z1BR back to its roots, but the sudden transition left the game in today’s uncertain state. The challenges are real and significant. But we also know that many of you love this game…
