[H1Z1 Updates] Game Update - V1.7 OFFSEASON w/Z2 Map, Rankings & Rewards!

[KZG Bot]

Z2 Returns

This release marks the end of Season 2 and the beginning an Off Season that will last several weeks before Season 3 begins. During this Off Season, we'll be testing and tuning the Z2 map, adjusting season scoring to work with Dynamic Matches and introducing some new arcade modes, in addition to a host of bug fixes and tweaks.

You WILL receive new rewards for reaching higher ranks during Off Season!

Season 2 Rewards

The rewards for Ranking up in Season 2 have been granted to all qualifying players.

Z2 Map

• Z2 map for Solos, Duo, Fives, and Arcade modes.
  
• Z2 now supports dynamic match starts.

Season Scoring

Scoring thresholds for Royalty have been adjusted:

• SOLO 1,810,000
  
• DUOS 1,870,000
  
• FIVES 1,950,000

The new "Conquest Crate[trello.com]" will be awarded for Off Season Rankings as follows:

• Royalty - 5 crates
  
• Master - 3 crates
  
• Diamond - 2 crates
  
• Platinum - 1 crate
