Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that would not allow towers to be placed in the Tower Defence mode when using an Xbox controller.
- Fixed an issue with the Incendiary Rounds card incorrectly showing the Thermobaric evolution icon for classes that should evolve it into Weakness Finder evolution.
- Fixed an issue with melee knockback attacks pushing zombies through walls, and stopped Chain Lightning attacks from ignoring walls.
- Fixed crows floating above the Graveyard's north and east gates in Scavenge mode.
- Corrected the gained experience rate of Scavenge mode. It was giving 1.55x experience per kill instead of x1.
New Features
- Chaos Mode: A new toggle for Wave Survival mode. Every wave rolls a random twist, some good, some not so good.
Voice Chat
- Added in-game proximity based voice chat. Teammates near you are loud and clear, voices get quieter and more muffled the further away they are.
- Default push to talk key is V but this can be changed in the controls menu.
- You can mute or adjust the volume of individual players from the pause menu.
- Voice chat can be fully disabled in Settings > Voice Chat.
General Improvements
- Added a new UI ribbon design onto card picks when you already own the other card needed for an evolution.
- The current owned cards UI in the top-left will now stay visible when choosing new cards.
- X2 new soundtracks have been added into the rotation.
- Skeleton allies from the Rise Dead card will keep up with the player and spread out instead of huddling close to the character.
- Improved skeleton allies behaviour so they will move more naturally and they now have some idle animations.
- The red experience orb will now only appear once the maximum amount of experience orbs has been reached (50). Experience will continue to accumulate inside the red orb.
- Additional performance improvements for Scavenge mode.
Scavenge Mode Updates
- When loading into the Scavenge mode map, the roaming zombies will be generated faster instead of spawning in during the drop in cinematic.
- Roaming zombies will no longer spawn within screen view distance and will instead be spawned in off screen.
- When triggering the horde with demolition charges, enemies will now spawn in further away from the player so they will no longer spawn within screen view distance.
- Zombies can no longer spawn inside the base camp area or right in front of a teammate when in close proximity to each other.
- Siege horde duration timers now start at 1 minute for the first demolition, rising to 2 minutes for the final wave.
- Zombie damage now starts lower and rises with each demolition: common bites 20–40, Charger tramples 30–50, Spitter acid 20–40 per second and Exploder blasts 35–55.
- Special infected now make up 2% of the first siege horde, rising by 2% each demolition up to a total of 10%.
Balance Changes
- The Explode Corpse card now deals 20 damage per rank, up to 100 at max rank. The chain effect has also been removed.
- The Plaguebearers (Evolution) now deals 15 damage a second for each rank and overlapping auras from the same owner do not stack.
- The Abominations enrage movement speed has been reduced for all difficulties in Wave Survival mode. It was too strong.
