Spawn – Patch 0.6.0 Is Live!

8 月 19 日

Hello Responders,

The dead don’t rest, and neither do we. The Spawn Update brings some of the most transformative changes to No More Room in Hell 2 since Early Access began. We are reshaping how you choose your challenges, introducing a whole new difficulty tier, giving you more control over your Responders build, and handing you a brand-new weapon to swing at the undead.

If you have been waiting for the game to give you more freedom in how you play, from difficulty to skill specialization, this is the moment.

Major Feature – Difficulty 2.0

Every difficulty tier now feels distinct, turning your choice into a true test of survival.
With Difficulty Preference in place, we can finally give each tier a distinct identity without holding back. Difficulty 2.0 introduces a complete overhaul of difficulty tiers, allowing us to make each mode unique and true to its name.

What’s changed in Difficulty 2.0:

Melee Weapon Damage Scaling – Casual boosts even basic melee weapons, Nightmare demands the best gear.
Weapon tiers are now visible in the inventory, making it easier to tell which weapons should be an improvement.
Loot Scaling - Supplies are plentiful in Casual, scarce in Nightmare
Zombie Threat Level - Expect more zombies and more aggression as you climb tiers
In Nightmare, zombies are faster and more aggressive than ever
Respawn System (Casual only) - Downed players can return when teammates complete the current objective, respawning at the nearest CRC Station

New System – Difficulty Preference Matchmaking

Pick your fight. This new matchmaking option lets you set your preferred level of challenge before loading in, though matches may place you in other difficulties if needed to keep queue times short.

How it works:

Choose one or more preferred difficulties before queuing
Matchmaking prioritizes your selected difficulties while keeping queue times efficient

New Difficulty Tier – Casual Difficulty

Casual is more than just “easier.” It is a forgiving way to learn, experiment, or just relax while still facing the undead.

Casual difficulty features:

Respawn - If your teammates complete the current POI, you will respawn at the nearest CRC Station.
Matches only fail if your entire squad is wiped, and respawns stop when only the mission remaining is extraction.
All modifiers are tuned to their easiest settings for new and relaxed play.
Joins Casual, Classic, Hardcore, and Nightmare as the complete lineup.

New System – Reworked Zombie Spawning

The undead are coming for you in smarter, deadlier ways. This update overhauls how zombies enter the fight, creating a better flow and more varied encounters.

What’s changed:

Better pacing between spawns so action and tension feel more balanced.
Smarter spawn placement to reduce cheap ambushes and create more dynamic engagements.
Population control – Killing zombies in an area will temporarily reduce the local population, giving you short breaks in the action.

Note: The Power Plant map does not use the new spawning system in this patch. Its larger, more open footprint requires additional tuning, so it needs a bit more time in the oven.

Major Feature – Character Skill Upgrades & Reroll

Your Responder’s growth is now in your hands. Shape your build exactly as you want it, without relying on pure luck.

How it works:

Upgrade perks with in-game credits, improving them from base to expert, provided your account level meets the requirement for that expert skill.
Reroll perks using in-game credits to find your ideal combination, with effort driving the outcome and luck offering shortcuts

New Weapon – Hockey Stick

Two hands. One stick. Endless possibilities.

Weapon details:

Heavy two-handed melee with wide swings and strong knockback
Great for crowd control in tight spaces
Available now in loot pools, loadouts, and training

Balance Changes

Increased the illumination on lanterns and worklights.
Objectives Completed is now counted as intended - per objective area completed, rather than individual objectives.
Players use less stamina when they start sprinting, and can therefore sprint for slightly longer.
Melee arcs have been tightened to reduce overly effective crowd control
Melee ranges have been shortened slightly for more realistic reach
- One-handed weapons: rande reduced from 200 to 170
- Two-handed weapons: range reduced from 250 to 220
Credit and XP multipliers at different difficulty levels have been reworked.
Zombies attack from more variable ranges, which should make melee combat a bit less predictable.
Tweaked the VOIP and text chat distance on each map, to be around 70m.

Bug Fixes

After the launch of Broadway, we gave ourselves a little bit of time to round up some outstanding bugs and put more time into improving the quality of the game. In this update, we managed to fix around 100 bugs!

Swapping items while carrying an objective item will no longer send the object flying away.

Added translations which were missing for the Customization menu.

Server/Client

Implemented a fix to try and address an issue where players’ friends lists will not show up properly in-game.

Summer Roadmap Update - Our next BIG update arrives in August!

7 月 22 日

Hello Responders,

Broadway is just out of the oven, and it’s already time to talk about our next big update, which is just weeks away from launch. Version 0.6.0 titled SPAWN is an update that takes a long, hard look at the state of play in No More Room in Hell 2, and will draw sharper lines between difficulty levels. This allows us to make Casual, our newest tier, much easier for new players (or those looking for a more relaxed experience), while cranking up the intensity of Nightmare, making it a far more relentless experience.

Difficulty Preference:

All of our major updates to difficulty levels are made possible thanks to the launch of Difficulty Preference! At the launch of Early Access, our goal was to have players progress from Classic to Nightmare organically. While this worked with our progression loop and permadeath system, it severely limited our ability to improve the game for all players.

Under the current system, we had to keep Classic (our lowest difficulty) challenging enough to entertain hardcore players, while holding back Nightmare from reaching its true potential—since casual or new players might find themselves matched into Nightmare games.

Difficulty Preference removes those constraints and gives each difficulty tier a more distinct identity. More importantly, it gives players the freedom to choose how they want to play NMRIH2. To keep matchmaking fast and efficient, this feature will launch as a preference—meaning the matchmaking system will consider your preference alongside the actual availability in your region's queue.

Difficulty 2.0:

With Difficulty Preference in place, we’re now able to completely rework our difficulty system and introduce one of the biggest gameplay changes yet: Difficulty 2.0. The game will offer larger rewards for accomplishing missions as you play in higher difficulty levels.

At the launch of 0.6.0, the new Casual difficulty will bring our total to four levels, and Difficulty 2.0 introduces several tools to make each tier feel distinct. Starting with 0.6.0, we’ll begin using these modifiers:

Melee Weapon Damage – Melee weapons will now be categorized into more visible tiers, creating a wider range of weapon damage. Zombies grow tougher in harder difficulties, making it progressively more important to equip yourself with the best weapons possible.

Loot Scaling – Loot quantity will vary by difficulty. Casual players will find plentiful resources, while Nightmare players should expect a significantly leaner looting experience.
Zombie Threat Level – Currently our biggest difficulty modifier. Expect increased threat levels as you move into tougher modes.
Zombie Speed – Zombies will move faster in Nightmare.
Additional Tools – While not present at 0.6.0’s launch, we plan to expand difficulty settings further by tweaking stagger mechanics, refining zombie speed per difficulty, and adjusting the variety of themed zombies.

Casual Difficulty:

Casual Difficulty is our newest tier and introduces the biggest modifier yet: respawning. In Casual mode, teammates can respawn downed Responders by completing objectives. Matches only end in failure if the entire team is wiped.

Designed as a welcoming space for both new and relaxed players, all difficulty modifiers will be set to their easiest values. This gives players the freedom to learn the game at their own pace, and optionally move into higher difficulty levels when they feel ready.

These difficulty-specific changes are the heart of what’s coming in just a few weeks—but that’s not all! Players can also look forward to an adjusted zombie spawning system (more info coming soon), a new weapon, and more in the August update.

July’s BROADWAY Update – Patch 0.5.0 Is Live!

7 月 15 日

Greetings Responders,

The city is calling, and you're running through it this time.

Patch 0.5.0 marks our biggest update since Reanimation. We're introducing the new Broadway map, the CRC Training Facility tutorial gym, the debut of Character Customization, new Army Zombie, our Throw system, and the Gruber Mk VII. Whether you're returning to the fight or joining your first squad, now’s the perfect moment: No More Room in Hell 2 is 25% off for a limited time.

Read on to find out more about everything launching with this update.

New Map – Broadway

The dead never sleep in New York.

Our latest map drops you into the heart of a collapsing city where every route is a risk, and every moment counts. Broadway is a fast-paced, high-pressure scenario built to challenge team coordination, player adaptability, and nerves of steel. It continues the legacy of Broadway maps introduced in the original No More Room in Hell, and has been built with a strong focus on realism and urban authenticity.

Set in the aftermath of a botched extraction across NYC
Battle through city streets, subway tunnels, and Queens’ deadly sewer system
Multiple midgame and ending scenarios for replayability

New Tutorial – CRC Training Facility

The momentum from Reanimation and the influx of new players during our March free weekend offered a clear snapshot of how our game is evolving. They also gave us valuable insight into how we can better support newcomers as they take on the game’s challenges. To help new players get their footing and give veterans a place to sharpen their skills, we're introducing the CRC Training Facility, also known among Responders as "The Weather Station." It is located at Nexrad Station NWCX in Pennsylvania.

The CRC Training facility:

Teaches gameplay systems including puzzles, hazards, infections, and zombie types
Includes a live-fire range with all weapons, ammo types, and a close-quarters combat area with every melee weapon
Allows players to test out the new Throw system safely
Is currently available in solo-only mode

Further onboarding features like difficulty preference, Casual Mode with respawning, and more are planned for later this summer.

New Feature – Character Customization 1.0

It’s time to bring your own identity to the apocalypse. Customization gives you control over how your Responder wears, and this is just the beginning. Your Responder should feel like your Responder. Get your fit right. Survive in style.

Equip head, torso, leg, and foot gear from our first customization drop
All current items are available for free
Personalize your gear using color swatches
Future updates will expand available gear and add new customization items

New Gameplay Mechanic – Throwing System

Not everything you throw at the undead needs to be a bullet.

Throwing System: A new gameplay mechanic that lets you throw melee weapons and other objects to disrupt or damage. It’s not a weapon itself, but it changes how you use the ones you already have. Most things that you can pick up, you can throw.
Default key -> Hold G

New Weapon – Gruber Mk VII

A .22 caliber sidearm with low recoil and tactical versatility, ideal for backup or early encounters. It includes attachment slots for a muzzle and sight:

Muzzle: Pistol silencer
Sight: Micro holo

New Zombie Type – Army

A new threat marches in.

Our latest addition to the undead roster is the Army zombie. These units are heavily armored, highly durable, and designed to withstand punishment. They wear full military gear, making them some of the toughest enemies in the game.

Summer Sale – 25% Off

No More Room in Hell 2 is currently 25% off for a limited time. Whether you're returning or jumping in for the first time, now's the perfect moment to answer the call and escape Broadway.

Balance Changes

Made the Gruber Mk VII available in the Loadout menu.

Bug Fixes

Leading up to this update, the majority of our QA’s time went into preparing Broadway for players, so we have relatively fewer fixes to report.

Animation

Fixed an issue where Runners would play the wrong animations when roaming around.

Audio

Overhauled the dynamic responder VO system.
Fixed melee impact SFX sounds.
Music during extraction should play the correct track now.

Environment

Fixed some clipping issues with randomized stores in Pottsville.
Fixed zombies being able to walk through certain walls in Power Plant.
Fixed clipping on some trucks and vehicles.
Cleaned up asphalt textures.
Fixed collisions on a cliff-face in Pottsvile.
Tweaked the flight path of the helicopter in Pottsville.

Gameplay

Fixed an issue where kicks were not always knocking back zombies.
Applied some fixes to the Radio minigame in Pottsville to prevent Responders from being teleported back to the Radio.

Localization

Fixed overflowing text in the Loadout menu in Russian.

Server/Client

Various crash fixes.
Applied tentative fixes to character generation and progression to address throttling and ensure characters are updated properly.

Fixed an issue where spectator UI would not fade in or out properly.
Hid the in-game group widget during the end of match and spectator screens.
Fixed flickering on the account level and XP tooltip.
The text chat widget will be hidden properly after an amount of time.
Players with high nightmare levels will be shown properly.
Made it easier to read the skill tooltips over the Message of the Day on the main menu.

The button to change the spectated player should always appear.

User Experience

Responders now properly identify .22 ammo when pinging it.
Fixed objective UI appearing multiple times in areas like the Firewatch Tower in Power Plant.

Weapons

Fixed textures on the placeable radio.
Fixed an issue where bullet holes would not appear unless very close.
Fixed an issue where blood smears on walls would smear incorrectly.
Fixed more fences to make sure they can be shot through with firearms.

Zombies

Zombies should navigate better around staircases and railings.
Zombies should be properly distracted by placed radios now. Play the hits!
Ensured that zombies should be able to climb up cars properly.
Improved ragdoll gore and interaction on dead zombies.

Known Major Issues

As a reminder, No More Room in Hell 2 is in Early Access. Your reports are vital to improving the game. Current major issues we're tracking include:

In some cases, quitting to the front end while your character is still alive, or doing so very quickly after dying, may result in a delay (~30 seconds) before you're prompted to select a new character. This doesn’t affect gameplay but may cause a short wait on the front end.
Some players are experiencing issues where account level appears to reset. We’re investigating the cause of this and looking into rectifying these cases.
Customization assets have not been translated yet into other languages.
One objective in Broadway and one objective in the tutorial are not set up to translate properly in other languages.
Responder faces may appear distorted on lower graphics settings.
Responders arriving later to an objective area may see some inaccurate objectives.
Responders who catch on fire may burn for longer than intended.
Migrating characters from previous versions of the game can take long enough that rarely players will see a black screen or timeout after launching the game.
There's a chance that after leaving a match it looks like your character roster has disappeared, characters will reappear on restart of your game.
Our in-game roadmap has not been updated, stay tuned for more news soon.

Please report bugs via the in-game menu, on Discord, or athttps://nmrih2.com/support

https://nmrih2.com/support

This is the beginning of the next phase of No More Room in Hell 2.
We can’t wait to see how you survive Broadway.

Stay safe out there,
The NMRIH2 Dev Team

Summer Roadmap Update - Broadway Update Just Weeks Away!

6 月 26 日

Hello Responders,

With less then a month to go before our big July update we wanted to take some time to delve deeper into a few of the giant features coming to No More Room in Hell 2. We usually use this roadmap newspost to look ahead past the upcoming update and discuss features scheduled to come out in the proceeding months, but Broadway is too big of an update to look past. Our newest roadmap reflects the team's focus and priorities for the Summer.

Broadway

Broadway kicks off at the conclusion of a successful mission by our group of Responders. Everyone’s best laid plans quickly unravel and you must find an alternative plan to escape the city whose dead never sleep.

Broadway is a mad dash, fight for your life experience that drives you from the top of buildings and Subway stations to the claustrophobic sewers of Queens. The map also features brand new objectives in iconic places of interest and multiple mid and ending game scenarios for peak replayability.

Teamwork is once again pivotal for survival as Broadway forces Players to make tough decisions as a city full of zombies encloses around you and your path towards safety moves further out of reach. Responders, your hardest mission yet is the simplest: get out of New York City alive!

Tutorial Gym

Reanimation and our March free weekend were big successes for No More Room in Hell 2, but they also highlighted that the game can be extremely difficult for new players. Broadway will introduce our CRC Training Facility to our growing number of Responders.

Located at the Nexrad Station NWCX in Pennsylvania, and referred to as “The Weather Station” by Responders, the training facility was set up with the support of the National Guard at the beginning of the apocalypse to help prepare otherwise hapless civilian responders for the horrors that lay ahead

The CRC Training Facility features multiple areas that give players a safe(r) space to interact with almost every element of NMRiH2 gameplay. There’s a learning zone for our puzzle-like objectives, hazards, infection, & zombie types. A large portion of the facility houses our firing range and an area to test your close quarters fighting capabilities, both of which feature every weapon and ammo type in the game.

Customization 1.0

Our first iteration of Character Customization, and batch of customization items are also coming with Broadway. It features a small wardrobe of head, torso, and lower body options that will allow you to make your random Responder feel a lot less random.

All items will be purchasable via in-game currency (credits) and further customizable via a color wheel. This is just the first batch of customizable items and options, we have a lot of exciting plans for character customization that players will see throughout the coming months. We’re very excited to see players fits in-game and online!

With Broadway just weeks away this might be the perfect time to pick up No More Room in Hell 2, as it’s currently 25% off during this years Steam Summer Sale! If you want to join in on the discussion, please join our Discord. You can also leave feedback in-game, or at https://NMRIH2.com/support.

June’s REANIMATION++ Update - Out Now!

6 月 17 日

Greetings Responders!

Today we launched Reanimation++ (0.4.2). While this is one of our smaller updates, it does feature a big new feature for NMRiH2, a new emergency exit for characters with Early Individual Extraction.

Along with Early Individual Extraction, the update features a large number of gameplay changes, new weapons and ammo, balancing changes, and continues our work post-Reanimation of optimizing players' experience by removing bugs, crashes, and exploits.

We’re also just one month away from the launch of our next map Broadway, arriving with one of our larger Early Access game updates. Stay tuned for more No More Room in Hell 2 summer news.

0.4.2 update highlights

Early Individual Extraction

Early Individual Extraction is a new extraction system that opens to players during emergency situations. When the number of living Responders drops to 3 our Early Individual Extraction system turns on, opening a number of bunkers around each map.

Players are not required to use extraction bunkers, but at that inflection point in the game everyone has a personal decision to make. Do I risk my character for the rewards of accomplishing our mission or survive to fight another day by extracting early?

Players who use these sites will be required to forfeit their supplies and gain no character XP, and will not earn character stats from the match, but will earn a reduced amount of credits and the appropriate account XP from completing objectives. Most importantly, players' characters will survive and be returned to the active character roster.

New weapon: Gruber 922

Our first .22 calibre weapon is the Gruber 922. While the .22lr is an extremely light cartridge, the 922’s magazine holds 25 rounds and the rifle has very little kickback. The 922 also supports every attachment type, making it an intriguing weapon choice for the right Responder.

Zombie Weakened State

Players have a new tactical advantage against the horde. Knocked zombies now take 100% bonus damage while downed. This window of opportunity lasts until they start to arise from their downed state. Remember - blunt weapons do more knockdown!

New Responder Voice

A new Responder voice has been added to the pool, internally named Lynch, with male and female versions.

Balance

Added the new Gruber 922 and .22 LR ammo to the Loadouts menu.
Friendly Fire caused by explosives should only do a fraction of the total damage to other Responders and should not be lethal.
Zombie attacks should no longer interrupt grenades being thrown.

Bug Fixes

Highlights:

Zombies - Fixed an issue where zombies could be invisible while rounding a corner or when the player turns around until their animation montage finished, causing zombies to suddenly appear in view of the player and appear to be spawning in or teleporting.
Server/Client - Applied tentative fixes to prevent players from encountering the ‘Join Session Failed’ error when attempting to join a match.
Server/Client - Applied tentative fixes to prevent squads from being disbanded instantly.
Server/Client - An EAC update was applied to attempt to resolve issues where the game fails to launch after the EAC splash screen. Please let us know if you still encounter this when launching!
Environment - Applied a tentative fix for an issue where the Radio minigame in the Pottsville Community Center could teleport players back to the radio

Animation

Known Major Issues

Note: as this is Early Access, our title is in active development and bugs are to be expected. We have listed some major known issues that we expect many players to encounter, however:

Players on weaker PCs may see a ‘Lost Connection’ error on their first attempt to join a map after this update.
Two-handed firearms may not raise properly to shoot after dismissing the flashlight.
Some explosives placed in maps may light players on fire in an unintended way.
Weapons and items may clip into the ground when dropped.
Flashlight may appear offset from other Responders' hands when idle.

We thank our playerbase for continuing to report issues and encourage further reporting through

No More Room in Hell 2

Preview - Reanimation ++ Update (0.4.2), coming June 17!

6 月 10 日

Hello Responders!

Earlier this month we announced at the PC Game Showcase that our fourth map, Broadway, will be coming to NMRiH2 in July. Before we make our way to the Big Apple we have one more stop, with the Reanimation++ Update. In our upcoming June patch we’re introducing Early Individual Extraction, a zombie downed state modifier, a new weapon, new ammo type, and more!

Early Individual Extraction

Surviving in No More Room in Hell 2 requires teamwork, and losing teammates can have dire consequences for your Permadeath characters. Early Individual Extraction gives you a new survival strategy when the cards start to heavily stack against you.

When your team size shrinks to 3 players, extraction sites will open throughout the map, giving players the option to give up on their mission and extract via one of these alternate locations. Once opened, players can decide to use the extraction sites solo or with allies.

Players who use these sites will be required to forfeit their supplies and gain no character XP, and will not earn character stats from the match, but will earn the appropriate account XP from completing objectives. Most importantly, players' characters will survive to fight another day.

New Weapon and Ammo Type

Reanimation++ will also feature a new ammunition type, as .22 cartridges are introduced to the game. .22 is an extremely light ammunition type that's traditionally used for hunting small game. Our first .22 weapon, the Gruber 922 semi-automatic rifle won’t take down an elephant, but it will act as a useful tool against the horde.

Zombie Weakened State

Our combat meta has evolved a lot over the past few months, and we’re still making tweaks to balance melee combat. Since our Combat 2.0 overhaul in our Reanimation update, we found that players have been using slashing weapons much more frequently, and we wanted to add a damage modifier that makes blunt weapons more appealing.

With the launch of 0.4.2 zombies that have been knocked onto the ground will take a high amount of bonus damage. This change gives players a new combat strategy to engage with, and might empower players to use blunt weapons with knockdown capabilities.

We’re excited to see what impact this has on the meta and see if players adjust their combat playstyle. Show us what you can do when you find a Sledgehammer!

Bugfixes and More!

Reanimation++ will also come with a hefty amount of bug fixes & optimization, with a specific focus on match connection, squad disbanding issues, and map exploits. Stay tuned for full patch notes, coming June 17th with the launch of 0.4.2! If you want to join in on the discussion, please join our Discord.

Coming July - Broadway

6 月 8 日

Hello Responders!

Today, during the PC Gaming Show we revealed that No More Room in Hell 2’s fourth map, Broadway, will be coming to the game in July. Keen eyes might have also spotted other features coming to the game this Summer: a Tutorial Gym, Early Individual Extraction, Casual Difficulty with Respawn, Difficulty Preference and Customization.

Broadway

We’re so excited to introduce our first fully urban map to NMRiH2, a once lively and energetic area of New York that’s been transformed into a sprawling hellscape by the living dead. Set in Queens, our team has taken years to try and get this corner of the Big Apple just right, then turn it into something sinister.

This map takes place around the intersection of Broadway and Roosevelt in Queens; it has the iconic raised train bridge, a beautiful art deco transit station, and busy streets full of vendors and busy city life. We really tried to recreate the feeling of the city, and there are a lot of recognizable landmarks to look out for! Our art team had the fun challenge of layering elements of a years long city wide quarantine, on top of a newly emerged zombie threat with incredible attention to detail. I hope you all enjoy struggling together on our newest map!

Cenelder - Associate Art Director

Broadway (technically the third iteration of the map after NMRIH1’s two versions) should trigger players' nostalgia for the original No More Room in Hell, and also live up to their new expectations with the sequel.

Welcome to the third installment of Broadway, One of the main features I aimed to capture with Broadway 3 is the essence of the original two maps with their tight, night-gritty layouts and close quarters combat, along with a modern touch of NMRIH2 mixed in to truly capture the atmosphere that Broadway was always intended to have. The layout is roughly based on a mixture of the original maps, with the goal of retaining as many iconic locations as possible whilst also introducing some fresh new ones. I am truly proud of how this map has turned out from its initial design and vision. The Broadway series has come a long way since the original map, I hope you all enjoy it

nay0r - Level Designer

We don’t want to give away too much just yet, stay tuned for more Broadway details and exciting news about our upcoming large July patch.

Customization, Casual Difficulty and more!

We’re also eager to share that along with Broadway, a Tutorial Gym, Early Individual Extraction, Casual Difficulty with a Respawn system, Difficulty Preference, Customization will be making its way into No More Room in Hell 2 this summer.

Our vision for No More Room in Hell 2 has always included customization, but some hard decisions had to be made leading up to our launch into Early Access. Very quickly after EA launch we realized the large scope of work that we had on our plate, and those realities pushed customization out of planning for a long period of time.

That reality doesn’t diminish the importance of customization in a game like No More Room in Hell 2. The hardcore nature of the game, and severity of permadeath requires players to regularly reroll characters, and the lack of customization can really negatively impact your feeling of immersion in our apocalyptic world.

Now, with months of updates under our belt, we feel it’s the right time to give customization the development time it needs and bring it to NMRiH2. Starting this summer Players will be able to earn items via play during Early Access and better express themselves with hundreds of possible combinations. Customization will initially ship with a smaller catalogue of items that will grow over time.

That's all we have to share today, but stay tuned for news on our upcoming June update, and more updates on what Players should expect this summer! If you want to join in on the discussion, please join our Discord[discord.gg]. You can also leave feedback in-game, or at https://NMRIH2.com/support.

Summer Roadmap Update

5 月 20 日

Hello Responders,

Reanimation+ has been out for just over a week, and it’s prime time that we set our eyes to the summer. Reanimation saw over 300,000 players hop into No More Room in Hell 2, and last week's update worked to fix over 150 bugs that players encountered.

Our team is already deep in development on a large number of features that progress us towards our 1.0 launch. With the help of a giant amount of community feedback during our Reanimation launch and free weekend we’ve adjusted our plans to also include potential answers to some of your biggest concerns. While we’re not ready to put all of these answers on a monthly roadmap just yet, we’re confident that they will be coming to players in the summer of 2025, along with plenty of other features that will be revealed in the coming months.

Community Lead Features:

Community Concern - Losing my permadeath character because of server disconnections or game crashes is extremely frustrating.
Summer 2025 Solution - Match Reconnect:
There’s no way to dance around this one, it’s down right infuriating to lose a permadeath character due to no fault of your own. We’re always striving to lower the number of game crashes, and server disconnections, but they will happen. This one has been on our planning boards for a while, and we think we have a solution in the works that should give players the agency to get back into the fight and keep your character alive.

Community Concern - I’m 2 minutes into a match and my entire team is already dead, the fight ahead feels hopeless.
Summer 2025 Solution - Early Individual Extraction:
NMR2 relies heavily on teamwork, and we’ve all been in a match that’s next to impossible because early on you realize all of your allies have fallen to the horde. While forcing you to sacrifice almost all of your rewards, Early Individual Extraction will give you a new exit scenario that gives your permadeath character a chance at living to fight another day.

Community Concern - The game's not feeling challenging, but frustratingly difficult.
Summer 2025 Solution - Difficulty Preference & New Casual Difficulty with Respawn:
Another glaring issue with NMR2 in its current state is that it can be far too difficult for new players, or not hard enough for our hardcore player base. Difficulty Preference will also come with a reorganization of our difficulty tiers, and a new, casual difficulty with respawn. Built in the spirit of the first game’s casual difficulty, the new difficulty tier will give players avenues to respawn their teammates at checkpoints on the map, but Permadeath will still need to be taken seriously. In its current iteration Difficulty Preference will allow you to highlight your preference that matchmaking takes into account, as we want to balance your preferred difficulty with getting you into a match quickly.

Community Concern - How am I supposed to learn how to play?
Summer 2025 Solution - Tutorial Gym:
Along with Difficulty Preference we want to give our new players a stronger onboarding process. Our new tutorial gym will give new players a safer place to engage with the game, and veterans an area to hone their combat skills. This should all better prepare players for the fight ahead as more capable teammates that you can trust covering your six.

Map 4

New Map: ???
We are very excited to announce that a new map will be coming in the summer season, stay tuned for more details earlier than you might expect.

This is just a first glimpse at what’s to come in Summer 2025, stay tuned to our socials and on Discord[discord.gg] for all No More Room in Hell 2 news.

May's REANIMATION+ Update - Out Now!

5 月 13 日

Hello again, Responders!

May’s REANIMATION+ Update (0.4.1) is now available, following up from April’s big REANIMATION update and its two hotfixes. With over 150 bug fixes, REANIMATION+ is our largest 'game health' update so far during Early Access.

Compared to April, the May update is smaller in terms of content and features, with a focus on balancing, bug fixes and game stability -- but still includes some new content to play with.

Stay tuned for our next roadmap update in the near future or read our last blogpost to hear about our next intentions for No More Room in Hell 2. Look forward to more monthly updates in June, July and beyond as we continue on the road of Early Access.

0.4.1 update highlights

New weapon: Rochester X12 Super Shotgun

The 12-gauge red devil, a fan favourite from NMRiH1, is back to blast the living daylights out of the undead. This semi-auto shotgun has a 5 round magazine and can use the following attachments: long gun flashlight, holo sight and combat optic.

New weapon: Gruber Mini Ranch Rifle

A ranch rifle that has proven more than adequate for putting down pests of the undead variety, this semi-auto rifle uses 5.56mm ammo with a 10 round magazine. It can attach the rifle suppressor, long gun flashlight, holo sight, combat optic and hunting scope.

New feature: Weapon Fire Mode

We’re adding fire modes ‘single’ or ‘full-auto’ to a limited set of weapons where this can apply - for now it’ll be a very small pool, but look for more weapons into the future that will support this feature.

M7A1 Rifle and MP5 will have Semi-auto and Automatic options

15 New Skills

This update includes 15 new character skills, plus the upgraded versions of each. This doubles the size of the skill pool available to responders.

Some of examples of new skills:
“Resident Genes” - Heal whenever using pills
“Lucky Pathogen” - Take less damage while infected
“Doorbreaker” - Kicks deal more damage to doors and barricades

Expect many more skills too, along with all of their Ultimate upgraded variants.

A major balance pass is also coming with this update to all existing skills, which will make a big difference to how you choose to equip your responder’s skillset!

In the future we’ll also introduce a credit-spend re-roll to character skills.

Bug-fix & Stability Focus

Reanimation+ includes over 150 bug fixes across a variety of game areas - making it the biggest bug fixing update for the game so far. As this is still early access, live bugs are to be expected (see examples in Known Major Issues below) but please help to report any issues you see directly to nmrih2.com/support.

Balance

A large number of balance changes have been made to create a better paced difficulty experience. This includes change to zombie spawns, more generous barricade capacity, and many combat changes. Plus, more generous XP rewards and an overhaul of Loadout prices and offerings.

Zombie Spawns

Maximum zombie spawn rates on Classic decreased
Zombies spawn a bit further away from players
Killing zombies should slow down zombie spawn rate for longer (not applied to Nightmare difficulty)
More zombie spawn points were added to the Power Plant Control Center

Barricades

Barricades weigh 40% less
Barricade stacks award 10 planks, instead of 5
Barricading speed is now tripled with the nailer, instead of doubled
Barricades now have the same wood appearance whether single or in stacks, and look less "post apocalyptic"

Melee Attacks

Quick attacks with slashing weapons take more hits to dismember zombies. Hold the input and aim your attack if you want to see those legs go flying!
Zombies nearer to the edge of the screen are less likely to get dismembered – aim carefully! This should prevent slashing weapons from being able to dismember large crowds of zombies at once
Two-handed blunt weapons should be able to consistently stagger zombies, if you hit them early enough in their windup. Trading hits if you swing too late is still possible
Reminder: in Hotfix 0.4.0.1 we increased shove stability damage values so that you can now shove to interrupt zombie attacks before they land.

Maps

Only two of three bodies are required in each neighbourhood in Pottsville
The sound system in the Community Center on Pottsville can fail, requiring responders to stay in the area! Hold down the gym!
Map objectives now award more account experience points

More Healing items should be available in Pottsville

Sometimes the game falls back to DX11 on GPUs that support DX12
Sometimes Squads will be disbanded unexpectedly
Unloading some firearms in a responder’s hands or on the ground with a full inventory causes the ammo to disappear

There may be areas where the player cannot vault over vehicles or other objects on slopes
Sometimes the final stages of infection can progress suddenly, or not be very visible on the screen
In rare cases the Radio objective in Pottsville can become unresponsive

May's REANIMATION+ (0.4.1) Update Preview

4 月 29 日

Responders - the next update to No More Room in Hell 2 is coming soon!

Our first ever Free Weekend (April 17-21) saw thousands of new players venture into Pottsville, Lewiston and Power Plant and we’ve been thrilled at the overall reception of the huge REANIMATION Update (0.4.0).

Next up around the corner is yet another monthly update for the game. After April’s big update and its two hotfixes, we are calling the May update simply Reanimation+ (0.4.1) and it’s just a few weeks away.

Compared to April, the May update will be smaller in terms of content and features, so we can better focus on balance, bug fixes, and help to stabilize the game ahead of much larger monthly updates to come.

May REANIMATION+ 0.4.1 update highlights

Bug-fix & Stability Focus

Reanimation+ will include well over 100 bug fixes across a variety of game areas, making it one of our biggest fixing passes yet.

The 0.4.0 update and its hotfixes did include over 90 bug fixes, but as many new features (and two maps!) went live with the April update, so too did more bugs arrive to fix.

New weapon: Rochester X12 Super Shotgun

New weapon: Gruber Mini Ranch Rifle

Many New Skills

This update will include a large number of new character skills, plus the upgraded versions of each. This will considerably increase the size of the skill pool available to responders.

Some of examples of new skills:
“Resident Genes” - Heal whenever using pills
“Lucky Pathogen” - Take less damage while infected
“Doorbreaker” - Kicks deal more damage to doors and barricades

Expect many more skills too, along with all of their Ultimate upgraded variants.

A major balance pass is also coming with this update to all existing skills, which will make a big difference to how you choose to equip your responder’s skillset!

Top issues we’re addressing next and into the future

Difficulty Balancing

We know that players want to feel like the odds are stacked against them, and to be fully immersed in the grounded, tense setting with challenging difficulty to match that fantasy. You want to feel like desperate survivors - like real people who are dealing with an active zombie apocalypse emergency.

Some overwhelming feedback from the playerbase after 0.4.0 was that this immersion was broken when zombie spawns felt illogical and overly aggressive.

For May’s 0.4.1 update we are aiming to balance zombie spawns to create better pacing in intensity and less sense of cheap deaths. These changes will only target Classic difficulty, not Hard or Nightmare.

We’re taking a careful approach to all of this so as not to drastically reduce the difficulty on Classic - this is still a game where feeling overwhelmed and fighting against the odds is core to the experience.

Not everything will be addressed or perfect for the May patch. We’re trying to make careful changes now so that we can work our way to the right game feel with community feedback. Sometimes changes won’t feel quite right, and that’s ok: iterating on balance and trying things out - then hearing what players think - is part of the purpose of our early access period.

Melee Balancing

The REANIMATION Update came with some major changes to melee in the form of an entirely new combat system. This system has a lot of moving parts and we expect it to take a bit of time before everything feels just right. Melee combat balancing is also deeply tied into zombie spawn balancing, which means we’ll approach any changes carefully.

We’re aware of the feedback players have shared that some melee actions don’t always intuitively result in the realistic damage/interrupt/stagger results they’re expecting, as well as a clear “meta” emerging with the use of certain weapons and certain melee techniques.

While slight melee balance changes can be expected for the 0.4.1 update, we’ll be looking to continue to work on this with each update going forward with the help of community feedback to nail the right feel.

Progression and Loadout rewards

We know that right now the rewards for surviving and extracting in some of the maps feel insufficient and we are looking to address this in Reanimation+ (0.4.1). We also know that players feel that Loadout credit (match-earned credit) costs are too high for items, and that not enough items are available to purchase, which we’re also looking to address in the next update.

Unfairly losing a permadeath character

We know that a number of players are complaining about crashes, disconnections and/or in game bugs that make them lose their character. We’re aiming to prioritize stability while considering methods to smooth out how punishing it is to unfairly lose a character.

Improved Optimization and Performance

Since early access launch last October there have been ongoing efforts to improve the game’s performance on a wider spread of hardware. The Free Weekend and feedback from players on the game’s optimization performance has accelerated these efforts, and we expect this to continue to be an ongoing process as we continue to smooth out performance.
