- General FPS is improved, still chugs in heavy combat and at the airfield
- Hunters spawn too frequently and in too large a group. I couldn’t even get past the starter island due to a pack of 4 hunters and at least 5 military runners which then attracted 2 seekers and all hell broke loose (perhaps lower the group size of Hunters on the first island, I enjoyed being forced to fight my first Hunter on the bridge not an entire pack within 2 minutes of getting a rifle)
- Runner AI seems very slow and highly inaccurate at close range atm
- Hunters have been completely ignoring my fireworks regardless of if I’ve engaged in combat with them beforehand but mercilessly spray at flares so at least that’s something, their accuracy also seems inconsistent (Some can’t hit the broadside of a barn and others are laser-beam accurate)
- Explosives… Don’t get me started on those. All I can say is I’d like the ability to use this rocket launcher for its intended purpose of blowing holes through armor not peppering the machines with pebbles
Appreciate the quick delivery of this hot fix but as with any game the work isn’t done yet

Hunters at the starter island are a nightmare!
I died four times trying to kill one with a hunting rifle and shotgun.

I was scared to death of the dogs alone at the start of the game, if a Hunter would have pounced on me I might have fallen right out of my chair

I’d be fine with a Hunter or two escorting some Runners like a squad but these are not prototype hunters I’m encountering, they’re the more armored military variants and they’re just absolutely destroying me before I have anything to fight them with or pursuing me to the ends of Sweden with their speed and detection range
The lone prototype Hunter at the bridge was fine, but the military hunters roaming around on the streets is just to much.

I’m hoping it wasn’t intentional and that it shouldn’t be spawning them as the military variants, but if that was intentional that’s an absolute nightmare for new players

It’s intentional, I restarted my game to play before they fixed it, and on your way to Salthamn there are 2 Military Hunters on the road.
Absolute nightmare. Why the armored variants? The prototypes are more than enough for a brand new player to struggle with let alone an experienced player when they’re being reinforced by Runners
I managed to find a 2 star assault rifle, and ammo for it but it is still a challenge, there is way more military robots at the start than what I would like.
Out of a weapons case or spawned in the world? If you got it out of a case you’re one lucky son of a gun
I think it was a weapon case that just happened to have one. Which is good for everyone else who gets it.
In the half hour play I had (I didn’t restart) I got the 7.68 in a weapons case and there seems to be some 7.68 ammo scattered around too so the assault rifle must be fairly common.
At least they gave something to try and shoot the Hunters with
The shotty is more of a narrow hard hitter i think
Tried playing after the update restored ps4 functionality. Hunters everywhere outside, ticks everywhere inside. Got frustrated and decided to just throw in the towel for the time being. I might break it out next year or something.
Personally it’s just not fun to be constantly swarmed by annoying small enemies (ticks) and constantly pelted by near-one-hit-kill melee attacks (Hunters) at the very beginning of the game.
For anybody who has played Morrowind, the ticks are like Cliff Racers to me. A few in bunkers are tolerable, but now that they’re spawning in buildings everywhere it’s just taken the enjoyment factor down a notch.
Ticks are the embodiment of frustration with no reward. They’re hard to hit and small, annoying, and offer little XP and no loot. The combination of being irritating with no possible reward just makes the game less enjoyable in my opinion. There’s no possibly of satisfaction when killing them for that reason, making their sole purpose frustration.
Just my two cents. Glad they got it running again but I’m gonna take a break.

The generation zero game won’t start on my ps4! I keep getting a code ce-32809-2??? Can anyone help?
You update the system software as well as the game to 1.06?
Entirely agree. The starter island is awful now, the loot is terrible and the hunters and ticks are rampant. Ticks have the most broken attacks because even if they miss you take damage, it’s the same as the Runner pounce that’s AOE for no reason

Wow that’s crazy! So they made drawing new players in a priority by populating the starting island, but they made it way to hard now that new players are just going to say “screw it, I’m not wasting all my ammo and health kits again, bye”? Lol

Yea I hate the ticks in general, they’re strictly just a nuisance… feel bad for the new players who were intended to get drawn in from populating the starter island in last update lol

Oh yes, it did happen to me, killed by three hunters and a couple of runners in the second barn at the tutorial island, with level 1, pistol, hunting rifle, shotgun and a couple of shells. I killed some dogs and the first hunter, but the second teleported to the barn through the wall and finished me. From now, I follow the seashore or the steep montain sides permanently crouching. Not glorious but so I can avoid the monsters placed too early in the game. What is the goal to put them so early ? Just to scare the player, and it works.
