Hello survivors!

We're back with another hot fix that addresses more balance issues and bugs!

We are currently working on identifying the root cause of why the in-game survey is slowing down or crashing for some folks. Feel free to hop into our discord to help us bug bash! In the meantime we've made all survey questions optional to submit and you can also access the survey directly here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fhcj0IjPw0coYKTogAoVbbwINxyWByCRJHj14HqKZaI/


Your feedback means a lot to us, including what you liked and didn't like plus any bugs or issues you experienced during your playthrough really helps us out. If you get a chance to submit a survey response we would be really grateful! Join our Discord channel here!:

Also since we didn't get an opportunity yet to add a new tutorial tip please keep in mind that ranged weapons do not need to be reloaded! If the weapon has durability and you have the right ammunition type in your inventory then you are all set!
