Chop Til’ You Drop
- Hey mercs, how’s the holiday shopping going? If you need some extra dosh, there’s an easy solution, keep killing Zeds of course! For that, we suggest you visit the new map, Carillon Hamlet, a small town that was preparing for the holiday until a bunch of obnoxious elves burst into their production line. Additionally, you can try the 2 new weekly modes that will challenge your killing skills: face all the bosses in a row in the Boss Rush, or experience Shrunken Heads where headshots will not be an option. Finally, The Horzine Research Group has launched a new product on the market for this Christmas campaign, the HRG Stunner, a new handy tool to help the SWAT mercs shine.

Designer Notes :
We know that endless games can be a huge time commitment, so we included the option to pause the game If every player agrees the waves will not be resumed, allowing players to have a break for whatever necessities. The option will be available only during trader time online. The system to resume the waves will be similar, with a vote of all players confirming.
The auto-aiming system for controllers was not working as expected under some specific circumstances. Sometimes when aiming slightly above the head the system used to auto-aim to the body center instead of the head. We have increased the range of detection of the head to avoid this problem. With this adjustment, using a controller will feel more accurate and consistent to player expectations than before.
We made very slight adjustments on the VLAD-1000 Nailgun just to improve the feeling of the weapon in the Support hands. We think the weapon was in a good spot in terms of balance, but these small adjustments will make it more friendly to use for this perk.
Regarding the Survivalist perk skill “Make Things go Boom”, it was boosted to have similar values as the Demolitionist equivalent skill, as we think that the Survivalist deserves to have the same capacities.
Finally, we made some adjustments on two bosses that were less prefered to play against by many mercs, King Fleshpound and Abomination. We boost some of their stats, mostly focusing on making them more aggressive and giving more importance to the skills that make them unique.
- For the King Fleshpound, we adjusted the health thresholds in which the boss will be able to use their skills (ground pound, beam and shield), and we boosted the stats of these.
- For the Abomination, we boosted different skills to make its rage phases more dangerous, increasing the sprinting speed and the rate of farts and bloat mines. Regarding the sub-spawns you will notice an increase in their number but they will be weaker.
