Auto Royale gets rocket launcher, duos, and more!

Posted on

General Updates

  • There was some logic behind the scenes that would allow players to get into games that were close to starting which caused numerous issues including those players parachuting in before others and then encountering bugs such as the inability to shoot or interact with objects in the world. This scenario should no longer occur and players will instead be put into the next available lobby.
  • Mouse cursor will no longer occasionally get stuck on screen after opening and closing UI elements such as the map.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Hosts' games per week allowance to not properly reset.
  • Black and Gray Jacket can now be skinned normally.

Auto Royale Updates (Duos)

Auto Royale is now available as a Duos mode as well! Hop in with a friend (or stranger), decide who's driving, and get into the action.

  • Weapon damage and loot distribution have been rebalanced for only having one shooter per vehicle instead of three.
    • Weapons do more damage to other vehicles and loot crates.
    • Players can equip more than one heavy weapon (e.g. Crossbow, LMG).
    • Weapon pickups supply one weapon and half the ammo.

Auto Royale Updates (Duos and Fours)

  • Added a guided rocket launcher (LG-IR) that can be found in the Rare (Purple) and Ultra-Rare (Gold) pickups. Rockets can be guided while in flight by aiming down sights, firing the weapon, and then moving your reticle (stay ADS to continue guiding the rocket). Rockets do high explosive damage and cause disruptions similar to land mines. The weapon has a long reload time and spawns with just five rockets - use them wisely!
  • Removed numerous small objects from the world that vehicles could get stuck on or have a hard time navigating through. Also removed the sapling trees that would stop vehicles.
  • Skill jump pickups now appear with a Star icon (instead of a weapon or supply icon) and give both weapon and supply loot in a single pickup.
  • Weapons tuning:
    • Decreased arming time of land mines from 2 seconds to 0.75 seconds.
    • Decreased crossbow damage by 15%.
    • Sniper rifle damage against players significantly increased (vehicle damage unchanged).
      • Headshots now 1-shot incapacitate.
      • Bodyshots now 2-shot incapacitate passengers leaning out of the vehicle and 3-shot incapacitate passengers inside the vehicle.
      • Helmets and body armor now provide less protection against sniper shots (but still offer a level of protection).
  • Added an Event Challenge through 10AM PT on Monday, March 26 - complete three games of Auto Royale and you'll receive the Red ARV skin!

Known Issues

  • When in Auto Royale Duos, using Ctrl + Number to switch seats will also use the corresponding item in your hotbar. While this isn't an issue for weapons, consumable items (such as oil slicks, landmines, and springs) will be used when doing this if they are on the corresponding spot.

Steam Marketplace returns for H1Z1

Posted on

With the update today to H1Z1 came a surprise change, items are once again able to be bought and sold on the Steam Community Market, this is a great move by Daybreak for the community.

When Daybreak first announced they would no longer allow items to be sold on the Steam Marketplace back in July 2016 we created the trading section here on Survivors Rest to offer a safer place to trade items as we knew that not allowing items to be sold on the Steam Marketplace would create a huge opportunity for scammers. With the reintroduction of items being marketable this should hopefully reduce the number of scams.

You can access the Steam Marketplace for H1Z1 here:
http://steamcommunity.com/market/search?appid=433850

Currently a lot of items only have a handful of listings many of which are drastically higher than they are listed for on OPSkins. For this reason Survivors Rest will not show Steam prices for H1Z1 items for at least a day or two until more people are aware of this change and the prices have settled to what would be considered "normal" prices.

H1Z1 officially launching in China

Posted on

Daybreak Game Company have partnered up with Tencent to publish H1Z1 in China with the official Chinese name for H1Z1 being "King of Survival".

Many people are wondering what this will mean for item trading for this Chinese version of H1Z1, from what we know so far about Tencent/WeGame is that they do not have their own trading platform like Steam so its likely that any items gained within the game will not be tradable at all, and even if they are then trading items between the Tencent and Steam versions of the game won't be possible.
