Game Balance:

  • Combat Knife Damage damage changed to 15 for Pistol Speedrun and MP5 Massacre game modes

    • Note: Combat knife was shown to be too strong for modes with lower zombie HP. We have adjusted the knife to be used for its intended purpose as an emergency tool.

Map Updates:

  • The main house ammo box has been moved from the porch, to the front of the ambulance

    • Note: The original spot was hard to find and encouraged camping, so we have moved it to a more open area, while keeping it close to the original spot.

  • Changed Tonemapper for exposure preserving one (ACES)

  • Changed Grass lighting and PBR Adherence

MP5 Massacre Overview:

Game Mode Description: MP5 Massacre is a full-on zombie mow-down session. Players have 10 minutes to kill as many zombies as possible, only using an MP5 and a Combat Knife. This game mode will be used in the upcoming Polkastarter $10,000 MP5 Massacre Tournament starting on July 29th. Following the tournament, an update will be hard pushed to all users to allow MP5 Massacre to be played as a regular game mode. Zombies have lower HP than other modes, so it’s truly a race to mow down as many zombies as you possibly can. Good luck!

Game Mode Specifications:

Weapon Parameter Changes:

MP5 Damage -> 35 dmg

Combat Knife Damage -> 15 dmg

MP5 Ammo Capacity -> 210 Reserve Ammo

Changed XP Values:

Cost to Open Door: All Doors open when the match is started

Cost to Buy Reload RootBeer: 10,000XP

Cost to Buy Diet Sprint: 10,000XP

Weapon Skin: Every user will use the Polkastarter MP5 Skin

Zombie Spawn Change: Zombies can spawn at all points throughout the map, so make sure you seek them out to get the best time. Note: Feedback and streams showed us Diet Sprint hadn’t been used much

Known Issues:

  • Aim Assist is Coming! With our next update coming in early August, controller users will be able to equip Aim Assist for a smoother zombie slaying experience.

  • Some users experience a delay when attempting to buy ammo from the ammo box
