v0.3.6: The Stomp, Gun Skins and Blood

Some of them stop walking. That is not the same as stopping.

THE STOMP

- Get close to a crawler, or a zombie knocked to the floor, and press shove (G, or tap R3 on a controller). You stomp it to death.

- The camera cuts out for the kill: you see your survivor drive a boot down onto it, then you are straight back in first person.

- Works on crawlers, on zombies flat on their backs, and on zombies sitting up after a knockdown. Each has its own death.

- Stomps count toward the Ledger's "Stamp It Out".

- With nothing to stomp in reach, shove works the same as before.

ZOMBIES FLINCH

- Every bullet that does not kill now jolts the zombie where you hit it: head, chest, stomach, shoulders or legs, and away from the side you shot from.

- They keep walking, chasing and swinging while they flinch. Automatic fire keeps them jerking.

- The headshot stagger that knocks them back is unchanged.

BLOOD

- Close kills and melee hits splatter your gun and your arms.

- It builds up as you fight, dries from wet red to dark brown, and fades once you stop fighting up close.

- The wave break wipes it clean.

GUN SKINS (FULL GAME)

- Eleven patterns: Solid, Camo, Digital Camo, Cracks, Veins, Hex, Circuit, Stripes, Marble, Fade and Occult.

- Pick two colours and a glow colour, then adjust size, coverage, shine, glow and base detail.

- Patterns wrap every part of every gun and stay on moving parts like the magazine and bolt.

- Glowing patterns light up their lines. Cracks and Veins pulse when animated. Occult covers the gun in sigils.

- Patterns are paid by the Ledger, one per entry. Battle Wear and Animated Skins are Ledger rewards too. Colours and every other control are free.

- Any finish you had on a gun carries over as a plain skin in the same colour.

STICKERS (FULL GAME)

- Stickers are now printed onto the gun at a real size, about 4 cm on a rifle and 3 cm on a pistol.

- They follow the surface, wrap curved parts and move with the gun. No more oversized floating cards.

ONLINE (FULL GAME)

- A new lobby: both players wait on one screen, change survivor and loadout whenever they like, and press Ready Up. The host starts the match when everyone is ready.

- Invite friends from the lobby, through Steam or the friends list on screen.

- Your partner's gun now shows their own skin, not yours.

DOWNED ZOMBIES

- Killing a zombie while it sits on the floor after a knockdown no longer freezes it upright. It falls back onto the ground.

- Chest shots on a downed zombie now land. Before, they could pass straight through.

DEMO

The demo gets the stomp, the flinches, the blood and the downed-zombie fixes. Skins, stickers and online come with the full game.

Spend carefully. Every point of nerve you hand him is will you no longer have.
