Test Server Update (24/07/2015)

Posted on
They just published a new Test Server build just minutes ago, no official notes just yet but I can confirm that the Hammer is indeed working again, the "You must destroy the base's gate before affecting interior structures." has been reverted and the Hospital has been removed again.

As part of this 160MB update there were a few new assets added and others updated in preparation for the addition of the Hospital and city including some banners which look to be districts within the city (aspect ratios may be off, sorry).


There is also a new item added, Nandor's T-Shirt and references to potential new crates but nothing concrete yet.

Client Version: 0.79.1.56002, Steam Build ID: 708009
