Base Assault Update - Steam Hotfix

It happened after base assault. Before that it was fine. And as stated above forest region is by far the worst. It’s horrible there sometimes.

The draw distance was tweaked a bit after the Base Assault update. It’s talked about in this thread. The team is working on optimizing this for different hardware setups. Björn also talked about this a bit on the stream he joined recently.

Does this even count for consoles?
Of course there is just one version for Playstation and one version for xbox, but there are different hardwares as well.

Nice of you Devs to take the time to answer :slight_smile:

I hope you will find a better optimization for different hardware because the downgraded drawdistance have really taken away alot of the atmosphere from the gameplay, seeing the machines at a far did wonders in making the games atmosphere feel a lot more threatening.

Now it is more like I run and suddenly enemies are there and a gun fight is more or less unevideble and I dont get a good chance of planing the fight like I used to enjoy.

The GZ Twitter seems to have suggested that the Base Assault hotfix for XBox will be available this week. The PS4 fix will probably follow suit.

It’s very interesting and I wonder what a Playstation hotfix will bring.

Since the steam hotfix has been released I have no problems on ps5 to get bases to spawn.
I have destroyed about 5 until now, made one of them my 2nd homebase and have at the moment 3 fnix bases (1 lvl 3, 2 lvl 1) and about 5 rivals.

So I wonder what will change…

Ok, there is an update on Playstation today to version 1.29 (ingame: v. 2263976)

Will there by a detailed changelog as described in the update-log?

Well, the Twitter page says that this is the console Base Assault hotfix and linked the same patchnotes as the PC hotfix - “Base Assualt is now working as intended” and the War Figurines are gone.

Haven’t had chance to play this yet, quick run around with flame thrower looks pretty cool!

I have been trying the weapons out all day, and I love them. I think the bow is most useful with explosive tip. And yes with the flamethrower you can give that hunter a taste of its own medicine.

O and the RNG gods have given me, after a day of hunting, all three 5c weapons. So that’s cool.

anyone else notice that the 5 star flamethrower has lower stats than the 3 star or are you not seeing that?


Is that just a visual mistake or does it actually do significantly lower damage?

not sure havent tested them side by side

Its likely a visual mistake since it seems to be a different weapons stat card anyways. Dont get why its applied to the 5c Flamethrower tho.

Flamethrower (5c version) is great for pest (tick) control duties.
