• H1Z1 Virus - First Pass
  
  • You will now be able to contract the H1Z1 virus from zombies. Survivors have a natural immunity against the virus, but this immunity is weakened the more it is exposed to zombie attacks. Currently only zombie attacks reduce this immunity but other means can be introduced in the future based on feedback from the community. Survivors can bypass this immunity and give themselves H1Z1 via extracted infected blood. NOTE: Current implementation of the extracted infected blood syringe allows you to use it on yourself only! You cannot use it on other players. This will change in the near future.
    
  • There are multiple stages to the H1Z1 virus once you have contracted it. The virus may not be as noticeable at first but as you advance to higher stages you will begin to feel its affects.
    
  • Once you have the virus, you have it for life. Only death or respawning will remove it. Each stage slowly progresses on its own but there are other means to push the virus forward or backwards depending on your actions or items you use.
    
  
  
  
• Stage Progression:
  
  • Minor Stage
    
    • Slight damage over time
      
    
    
    
  • Advanced Stage
    
    • Minor damage over time
      
    • Survivor will occasionally cough. This can be heard by other survivors and may attract nearby wildlife or zombies.
      
    • (Non-PvE only)Zombies will no longer target you. However, attacking a zombie will cause it to attack back.
      
    
    
    
  • Severe Stage
    
    • Moderate damage over time
      
    • No longer coughing
      
    • (Non-PvE only)Zombies no longer target you
      
    • Max movement speed slightly reduced
      
    • Normal food no longer satiates you and normal water/drinks no longer hydrate you. Eating/Drinking them does nothing for you but upset your stomach, causing you to cramp up. Continued eating will cause you to vomit. You must feed from dead players, wildlife or zombies to restore Energy and Hydration.
      
    • Fresher corpses restore more to each resource and restore a little bit of health. Depending on what is you feed on determines the amount you restore. Bears offer the most while rabbits offer the least. Feeding on zombies will slightly progress your H1Z1 virus.
      
    • You will be able to feed off corpses a maximum of 2 times.
      
    • Survivor Tracking: Survivors at this stage of the virus may notice a gaseous effect in the world. This effect means that a survivor was in that spot recently. You can use these markers in attempt to track down other survivors. Survivors at this stage do not leave a marker themselves. Survivors also do not leave a marker if they are inside a vehicle.
      
    
    
    
  • Deadly Stage
    
    • Severe damage over time
      
    • Zombie Vision - First Pass - Currently we have simple color grading in as the first pass. You might see some of this effect happening as soon as the Advanced stage but it will become more apparent at this stage. We will continue to add more features and improve this vision in future patches.
      
    • (Non-PvE only)Zombies no longer target you
      
    • Max movement speed slightly reduced
      
    • Normal food no longer satiates you and normal water/drinks no longer hydrate you.
      
    • Survivor Tracking
      
    
    
    
  
  
  
• Other related notes
  
  • All-in-One Cold medicine slightly reduces your H1Z1 virus. Antibiotics reduces it a little more. Hyperpheron greatly reduces the virus Immunity Boosters and Multi-Vitamins boost H1Z1 immunity to help prevent you from contracting the virus. This is bypassed completely if you use extracted infected blood on yourself. Guts will appear at dead survivors around the abdomen of the body after it has stopped its rag doll. Survivors with severe stages of H1Z1 will have the option to feed on the corpses of wildlife, zombies and the newly spawned guts from dead survivors.
    
  • Known Issues: There is supposed to be a progression bar on your vitals. Once you have H1Z1, this won't appear unless you log out and come back in.
    
  
  
  

If you purchased H1Z1, you should now be able to download the new Test Server. You will see it in your Steam library directly under H1Z1. We will be using this Test Server to have you help us QA our builds before we push them to Live. Think of it as Early Early Access.

With your help we should be able to push out much more stable builds. Keep an eye on Reddit and Twitter for when we push a new build to the Test Server and what is going onto it.

Participating in the Test Server is totally on a volunteer basis but the more people who do test a build, the better it will be. Thanks in advance for the people who want to participate.

• Added a recipe for a Sleeping Mat. This can be placed and rested on. Currently it is using a mattress model while a custom model is in the works. This is not a spawn point like in Rust
  
• The Police Car has an upgraded interior for an enhanced driving and passenger experience in first person.
  
• Well Rested duration has been doubled
  
• Fixed issue with not being able to pick up Handcuff Keys
  
• Very Tired and Exhaustion no longer slows down your movement. It only drains stamina at increased rates
  
• You can now rest on the firehouse cots
  
• Rest timer reduced to 20 seconds
  
• Fixed issue where you can use a mansport backpack skin on a military backpack. You can only skin other mansport backpacks now
  
• Health drain from Dehydrated and Starving has been slightly increased
  
• The White T-Shirt now has the correct icon
  
• Your character will start breathing heavier the lower your stamina gets. NOTE: Animations will come soon
  
• Added Molotov Cocktails. Hint: recipe involves moonshine
  
• Player speed is now reduced while moving in water.
  
• Battle Royale: Emotes should now work again
  

• There is now an extra tab in the center part of your inventory window that says: "Group"
  
• You can check the "Do Not Group" to prevent notifications and will auto-decline invites.
  
• If you are not in a group then "Disband" and "Kick" are disabled.
  
• If you are in a group and not the leader then "Invite" is disabled and "Kick" says "Quit"
  
• Type somebody's name and hit invite and they will receive a notification
  
• Your group members names over their heads will be in green.
  

• You can now discover the recipe for and, build, and place Bee Boxes. After being placed, the bees will immediately get to work. Over time they will create up to five full Honeycombs. These can be taken out and eaten, but are more useful if empty bottles are used to collect honey from them. When Honeycomb and Empty Bottles are both in the bee box, the honey will drain into the bottle after a short period of time. This will produce not only a bottle of honey, but also Wax as a byproduct.
  
• Honeycomb will continue being produced until there are either five honeycombs or ten honey bottles inside of it.
  
• If you damage a bee box, the bees will retaliate.
  

• Honeycomb - Eat it, keep it in the bee box to drain the honey from it.
  
• Honey - Eat it for gains to endurance, stamina, and energy. Honeycomb gives the same resources but at a lower value than raw honey.
  
• Dressed Bandages - Combine five bandages with a bottle of honey to create dressed bandages. These bandages heal for a bit more and a bit longer than bandages alone.
  
• Wax - Make Candles. The candles can be placed, and after lighting them they will burn for a couple of days. They have a few different models that it switches between so you can see them melting down over time.
