Hello Survivors!
Just Survive has been updated, and a character and server wipe performed.
This update includes new server rulesets, including the following:
- “Clan Wars” – reduced zombie population PVP[/*]
- “Solo PVP” – all grouping / sharing mechanisms disabled to encourage solo play[/*]
- “Hardcore PVP” – increased zombie spawns and decreased loot spawns for a hardcore survival experience[/*]
- “Sandbox PVP” – PVP without the POI build restrictions – if you’ve ever wanted to build a base in the middle of Pleasant Valley, now is your chance![/*]
- “Hardcore PVE” – increased zombie spawns and decreased loot spawns for a hardcore survival experience without PVP combat / raiding[/*]
- “PvPvE” – PVP servers without Raiding[/*]
Look for these rulesets in the updated server browser!
In addition to rulesets, this update includes significant changes to construction, loot, and NPCs.
- In PVP, we’ve reduced the number of foundations a player can build, but allow clan members to snap their foundations together. [/*]
- We’ve streamlined a lot of the loot in the game to reduce the clutter of objects that had different names but the same gameplay function[/*]
- We’ve completely rebuilt our NPCs for performance and behavior improvements, and they now spawn based on world location rather than near players. You’ll find more zombies in town centers, and you’ll find wildlife running away from gunfights.[/*]
For the fashionable survivor, we’ve added new Trade-Up exclusive items to Just Survive, read more about them right here.
We’ve also added the new Reload Crate, available in the marketplace.
As a thank you to our dedicated fans, players will receive a last chance Avalanche Crate after 30 minutes of play, and a new Reload Crate after 4 hours of play (tracked over multiple sessions).
