Fresh off its TV e-sports debut, H1Z1’s King of the Kill branch is on the verge of an update that’s expected to optimize its hit registration code, which’ll build on region-locking to fine-tune the game’s performance. In the upcoming test server patch, Daybreak will also revamp the shotgun, add skirmishes back to the game, update arena play, tweak the UI, and swap in new vehicle skins.
“We are making tremendous strides towards our goal of delivering you with a game that is consistent, competitive, fair, and fun to watch,” Daybreak says. “Our next big priorities are ranked team games and overall gunplay and gameplay balance. We will be sharing more on our future plans soon.” There’s still no word on the launch of the game and its console port.
Meanwhile, stuff is happening over in Just Survive too! Really! Daybreak has wiped the live servers again, fixed a ton of bugs and exploits, and released some (genuinely beautiful) concept art. It also fixed some anti-exploit policing — the one “where anti-exploit code could falsely register and kill players jumping on rooftops.” Back to the rooftops with you.
