[Beta Branch] October Update Patch Notes

This month's beta build rolls out the foundation for the living, breathing endgame we've been promising - factions will soon be on the move, hordes will be converging on human camps, and new blood-soaked missions will be waiting to test your resolve. For now you are invited to test and give feedback on the mechanics that will make all this possible.

New Features

Vectorial Travel System Added

Your team and enemy factions (soon) will be able move between unlocked locations via vectorial routes. This is the first major step toward the dynamic endgame campaign we envisioned, allowing full simulation of faction wars - human groups attacking each other and zombie hordes ravaging settlements regardless of allegiance. The travel times are now accurately scaled and that will allow us to estimate a campaign duration and rebalance the resources accordingly.

Fire Station vs Pyromaniacs
A new campaign episode has been added, featuring an off-the-rails group of pyromaniac bikers planning to turn the entire city into ashes using fire engines as improvised flamethrowers. Their leader is the maddest of them all - yet deeply connected to some powerful players. A gory tale of human sacrifice that only you can put to an end.

Booby Traps Implemented
The Pyros have rigged their base with deadly traps. Watch your step unless you want to end up roasted. The trigger mechanism is easy to spot and destroy if you're observant. Expect even nastier surprises in the next iterations - this isn't the Urban you remember.

Firefighter Suits Added
Introducing the new Firefighter faction armor - a full-body suit providing strong protection against fire and panic, as well as decent general defense. The iconic helmet offers matching bonuses. As a full-suit gear type, it covers chest and limbs in one piece.
