News Liste HumanitZ

Hey Survivors!

• New camera & player movement option[list]
• Major changes have been made to the movement and camera system. The middle mouse now also works as well as Q&E to rotate the camera and you can tilt the camera angle with the middle mouse to help you see your player inside buildings, tight spaces or to see that bit further in front of you. For old players that like the old system you can still play the game in the same way but we felt that this change needed to be done as we look to take the game forward.

• The much awaited Quest System has been added with this update. We would like to state that this is just the beginning of Quests and NPCs that we are bringing to the game and things will only improve and get better as we develop more lore and improve our systems. We plan to release more elaborate quests with each major update. But we are really happy with our first release of quests and we are sure you’ll have fun meeting the different characters and completing their tasks and stories. While quests can be explored on dedicated servers it is best experienced in single player and coop.

• Changes to the reload speed of all ranged weapons has been made by slowing down the animation to be more realistic and create a bit more tension.
• Changes made to how driveable vehicles spawn in around the map to guarantee 1x of each popular/special vehicle will spawn…you just have to find them.
• Changes to some craftables and buildings now hidden behind skill books/blueprints/recipes (some building recipes have been rebalanced).
• Changes to nail bombs and mines that are now locked behind the recipe.
• Changes to how zombies spawn inside buildings have been improved for more unexpected encounters.
• Changed gas mask filters to now reduce faster inside the toxic zones.
• Changes made to zeek attacks some zeeks will now do different attack animations.
• Changes to the rate of fire of some pistols to be more realistic.
• Changes made to the player camera to be slightly more zoomed out and also when inside buildings.
• Changes to melee combat now zeek hit react to all shots but still not allowing full stun locking.
• Changes to finisher is now keybind to G key and also can be performed via holding V as part of Streamlining controls for PC and Gamepad, we have had to make these changes with the middle mouse being used for more camera functions (but all can be changed in keybinds).
• Changed XP to give you slightly less XP than before to balance with XP from quests.
• Changes to Buck Fernandez's health and damage dealt increased to hopefully keep him alive a little bit longer (come on Buck stop being a hero!).

However, you are able to play HumanitZ on the SteamDeck but before starting a game you must lower your graphics settings to low/medium. More updates and improvements on this coming soon!)
• Improvements and fixes to controller support that should make the playing experience much better. This will help massively with steam deck and the new menu system (controller button configuration image added to setting menu)
