Showdown Update - Patch Notes

Hmm… let me get this straight… Drill, Furnace and Chem Lab can only be used during a base defense ?
Otherwise those things don’t work and so do not produce those extra materials we suddenly need for even some common blueprints like e.g. grenades ?

Is it really like this ??

That’s how I understood all reports.
And base defense just starts right after building these structures?

So, do they have to be destroyed to be able to build another one?

And does the base defense goes as long as they are alive?

yes…not very good
Dont even know why we have the Truck now, it occupies a lot of space we could use for the base, a larger base means we require more “walls” and we cant have more than 150 of those type of structures.
I had almost no walls left after shielding 3 drills with them.

Well that is what I would call a real fail… :man_facepalming:

I mean… forcing that kind of gameplay on players after all that time… for what ?
To keep them playing or better said grinding ?? What’s the sake in that, Steam Player Charts or what ?
Really…

I never thought of GZ as that kind of game but as it stands now and there’s no other way to get those (somewhat needed) materials, I guess I’ll have to think that over…

I guess it sounded all too good to be… ah whatever…

Better sleep a night or two over it as I’m too miffed about all those totally unnecessary changes to gameplay…

Ymmv though, as always…

the new base defense is really not that bad folks :slightly_smiling_face: I’ve been testing it out a bit, to repair base defense is FREE ,as many times you want, even if your not playing base defense, :slightly_smiling_face: I placed 10 red gas cans in my base defense next to a med trailer and shoot it with my own bullets, and I simply hit the repair button on the truck, got everything repaired for free, and my 10 red gas cans back to shoots again, :slightly_smiling_face: everything placed in base defense is LOCKED on that RED square always to be revived with repair button UNTIL you remove the structure by DISMANTLE button, :slightly_smiling_face:, FREE repairs, FREE restores on traps AFTER each battle

Hei I just got the game on Xbox one x and I’m getting a lot of lag when combat with some machines, using small weapons and small explosives it seems slow mo, I don’t know if it’s my console or it’s the game but after reading the posts maybe the there is some issue with the update
What I’ve noticed is that the lag appears when I look directly to lights sources, or when the flashlight points them, maybe is there an issue with that?
Thanks!!
What a great game btw

I just noticed, all weapons weigh 5,5-7 kg instead of the 2 kg shown in the menus. Is this intended? I got all of the DLCs, maybe one of them is affecting the weight?

Are you sure?
Because weapons with a attachments they are mixed in total KG with the weapon.
At least its been that way since a long time.

I just noticed, the ammo is tied to the weapon and also gets moved out of my inventory when moving the weapon away! I assumed, the weapons would be transferred separately from ammo…

That has been for long, too.

Btw

Did one of each base defenses (one for each new structure) today.

I did easy ones for the beginning.

It was quite nice. My bases did most of the work.
Just one thing:

The earned ressources should directly go to the ressource station.

I didn’t know that you have to collect them at the structure at first, travelled somewhere else, did another mission, found it out, went back to the first, but wasn’t able to collect them later.

How do you make them work? I have dropped in the phosphorous drill and nothing happens.

They have a button.
You press it, choose the difficulty, defend the base and if the mission is over you collect the ressources at a small hatch at the structure.

Going to have to have another look. Did not see a button on the drill.

UPDATE. Walk around it and you shall find! Thanks!!

Btw went to Kilsberget… You know, the great Open space on the mountain in mountains region in hope to find it filled with a structure.

And became disappointed. No change there.

I noticed yesterday, that I didn’t get notifications for rewards after doing base assaults, got no popup after destroying a reaper and no splash screens when I picked up weapons.
But I also didn’t get an info about what I picked up on the right side of the screen.

Anyone else?

just a tip: when placing a chemical tank in the base defense :rofl::woozy_face: build those walls around it, lots of walls, turn that thing on hard & watch the FNIX tanks, hunters & runners go nuts everywhere :grimacing: wowsers ??? !
