A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.


This patch primarily addresses an exploit with the compound bow that would make it fire like a minigun.
We fixed this ASAP as it also allowed scientists to continue firing while pounced or being eaten.

In addition to the bow fixes, we resolved a long-standing problem with default loadout availability. If you are unable to connect to the economy servers, you will now still have access to the entire default inventory instead of only a handful of items.

Previously, if you weren't fully connected you'd be unable to use alternate weapons at all. With this patch you can at least still use the complete arsenal even if your customizations are not there.

• Fixed being unable to use all of the default items when not connected to economy
  
• Fixed an exploit that could cause the bow to fire at ludicrous speed
  
• Fixed the Prime Cerato skin being missing from the customization list in-game
  
• Fixed the Battleburned Tupa skin having fibers

We're working on a bunch more quality of life fixes such as these for future patches, in addition to a bigger rewrite of server connectivity that should roll out later this autumn. Thanks for playing!

Meltdown 2023 is here!

With our latest major update we've made several spicy gameplay changes and visual tweaks, plus there's a seriously scorching selection of new looks being added. Check it out...


Having listened to feedback, we decided to radically reposition the Compound Bow's place in the game.


The bow is now a primary weapon and has a lot more customizability with its controls and firing modes. We've worked hard to make the bow feel easier to use, it's now less annoying to quickfire and you can continuously fire arrows without needing to take your finger off the button.


There are two control schemes for the bow now in Gameplay settings, the Classic (default) setup that was available previously and the new Combined control method...

Classic:
Charge up by holding secondary fire, tap primary fire to shoot

Combined:
Charge up by holding primary fire, release primary fire to shoot

Tap the secondary fire button in Combined mode to cancel a shot, saving the arrow from being fired.


Three new auto-fire options for the bow in Gameplay settings control when an arrow is released...

Half: Auto-fires the bow when your shot is half charged.

Full: Auto-fires the bow when your shot is fully charged.

Max: Default behaviour, only auto-fires when you lose control of the arrow after several seconds.



By selecting an auto fire option you can continuously fire by holding the primary fire button in Combined mode or primary+secondary together in Classic mode. As always, half charged shots do half damage and will not ignite targets if you are using explosive arrows.


Although a lot of actions with the bow have been made faster, we deliberately made using explosive arrows take longer now. The draw time is over twice that of regular arrows even for half charged shots, making them less of a "quick win button."

Turning the bow into a primary weapon is as much about making it feel better to use as it is removing an overly deadly combination. The devastating one-two hit of assault cannon + explosive arrow was an incredibly lethal and unsporting tactic that Scientists could use previously. There's interesting potential for combining the DoT effects of arrows and darts with the bow's new loadout position, but it's not the crazy almost insta-kill on smaller dinosaurs that could be exploited previously.

Regular arrows have seen a modest buff to their damage output, and the bow no longer has a muzzle flash when fired, which would give away your position before.



A few classes have been rebalanced a bit or received fixes / tweaks that make them handle better.

Tyrannosaurus now has new tail swipe animations, these are faster and swing out lower down while also stretching more to the side. This gives the attack greater reach and flexibility, making it much more effective and more in line with the Cerato's tail swipe.



It's leg day for Ceratosaurus, who can now sprint for longer without getting out of breath, andi has much faster stamina regeneration. The Pachy has also been taking notes and is now able to reach max sprint speed quicker, jump a little higher without roaring, and has a slightly more damaging knockback slide.

Finally, the Oviraptor has been buffed with more health along with its primary attack and pounce speed being faster. This makes it a more compelling alternative to the Novaraptor.




Aside from the bowverhaul, a few of the guns have received some TLC. We're mainly fixing some annoyances, like being unable to heavy melee with the Spaz by using the actual heavy melee key (you can still use the secondary fire button if you really want to).


The big changes were to the burst rifle, making it a more accurate weapon, particularly when scoped. Its primary damage is slightly less, but the much better spread and falloff make up for this. The burst rifle's blade actually deals a bit *more* bleed damage, it just occurs over a shorter period of time. It's also a lot easier to melee now with the burst rifle, since firing can be interrupted.


As part of evolving the PlayStation side of Primal, we've been adding a whole bunch of new visual flourishes to the game. These range from purely cosmetic touches to indicators that help you in combat.

When fighting as dinosaurs, successful melee or charge hits will show a more noticeable impact particle. Landing a critical hit as a dino will show a dust effect with subtle red claw swipes on impact.



Several new screen overlays also appear for certain gameplay events such as healing or being stunned, and getting a kill causes a subtle flash of the screen. If you're too close to an incendiary explosion or are using the flamethrower, the screen will turn hot in addition to having new screen shake motions...



Moving fast whether as a result of SpeedGreed or by diving as a Pterosaur will cause "speed lines" to appear on the edges of your view....



A lot more camera shake effects have been added to many in-game actions, which add extra weight and impact when they occur. Everything from using heavy melee to being knocked back by a tailswipe or just jumping around will play unique camera motions now.



We feel this connects you a bit better to the character you're playing and makes actions like chainsawing feel much more visceral. However, if you wish to disable these, the Camera Shake option in Gameplay Settings has been expanded to cover more than just Tyrant footsteps and explosions.


Updated Feature:

By popular demand, we have reimplemented the simple colour slider adjusters for dinosaurs!



These still have the same limitations as they always did, being unable to save the colours permanently. The simple sliders are remembered per-class, not per-skin, and are not guaranteed to remain selected between sessions. However, they do offer an easy way of tweaking the body and eye tones.

For more in-depth colour customization that can be saved, the paint crafting system is still usable and can actually be combined with the simple hue sliders for interesting results. As a reminder, all paint tools can be obtained as drops now.

There are even more visual upgrades in the works for 3.0, not least of which will be another round of revamps to the game's maps. Expect overhauled post processing, lighting, and denser details while also being better optimized for performance when it arrives later this year!





Welcome to MELTDOWN 2023! Our annual summer event is now LIVE in-game, with loads of awesome new community-created items being added. There's a brand new Summer Gift in-store today, alongside the Smouldering Saurian Selection which includes TEN scorching dinosaur looks!



Humans get some love with the frankly stylish Dapper Duster Trapper and Gambler's weapon skins...

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.
Please restart the Steam client to receive the latest version and update any servers you are hosting.



This release makes some minor changes to server connections, with the aim of reducing crashes when experiecing heavy load. Overall stability should hopefully be improved.

Connection spam may now be less likely to take down a server, but joining a match could still be difficult depending on how hard the server is being stressed.

There are more substantial changes to the networking infrastructure that we're exploring for future updates later this year. However, our engineering time for the PC side is limited with the PlayStation beta starting soon. Our team will keep monitoring the situation going forward.

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.
Today's patch mainly focuses on a few minor fixes and various code optimizations.

• fixed Acro brace animation not blending in properly, causing it to slide around
  
• fixed inspection animations playing in the background when a weapon is not equipped
  
• fixed having to click on a class after team sorting to see customization area
  
  
• added inspection animations for shotguns and burst rifle
  
• added a red muzzle flash environment light for the flaregun
  
  
• physics optimizations to throwables
  
• server and client log optimizations
  
• added logging to track down crashes
  
• miscellaneous code cleanup

Don't forget! We're running a special Summer Warmup Event in-game!

Check out the latest selection of superb summer items which includes new mutations, premium skins, taunts and more alongside years of classic summer content back at a discount!

Summer Meltdown will bring another wave of hot new looks next month.

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.
Today's patch includes the first iteration of our team sorting system for competitive matches.



In Team Deathmatch and Get to the Chopper, there is now a waiting period at the start of a new match. During this time while players are connecting, the game sorts teams in the background by rank to have as close as possible to an even distribution of player levels.


We've done a few rounds of initial testing with this and the response was incredibly positive. Because of that, we decided to patch it to live right away instead of waiting for the next major content update.

This change should largely address the issue of "team stacking" where many high level players would end up on a single team versus mostly low level players. We'll be monitoring with server operators to see how well it works in the wild, and are still exploring additional sorting factors such as taking into account your previous match performance.

• added new team sorting method to TDM and GTTC
  
• shortened flameslammer slug shotgun fire interval
  
• reduced timeout between firing and melee on burst rifle
  
• fixed debug trace lines visible when using machete and burst rifle melee
  
• fixed spitter heads inflating way too much during charged idle animation
  
• fixed regular acro movement animation blending being slightly off

-The Primal Carnage Team

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.

This latest patch fixes a bunch of bugs reported by the community and implements some mechanical changes that might spice up gameplay a little.




Bracing is an ability that allows Tyrants to withstand more damage while it is active. We're considering making it even stronger in future by mitigating crit shots while bracing (among other things) but today's patch modifies it to be a more deliberate stance change.

Tyrants now have unique movement styles when bracing, created by our community animators. They are now forced to slow to regular walk speed and hunker down when using the brace ability. You can initiate a brace while sprinting, but it will cancel your sprint. The charge-up indicator for bracing has also been fixed and now displays properly for Tyrants.


Kills through melee attacks such as the raptor's claw slash etc. still give health back with this patch, but it has changed to regenerate over time instead of instantly. This is similar to how picking up a medkit works as a human. The healing period is only a couple of seconds, and in most cases won't inconvenience the dinosaur. However, it does give humans a chance to stop the dino healing with enough damage.

We also modified how Tyrants receive health from eating humans. They now regain HP incrimentally, four times over the course of the animation, instead of waiting for it to be complete before they get anything. Tyrants sharing their kills is now also more fair in terms of health restoration for each.

No changes have been made to Carno or Acro's health replenishment with their respective roars.


Pathfinder flares now have added utility by removing the Marked status from humans. If a Flyer has marked someone, the human can now run to a flare to remove the marking outlines. Anyone standing near to a flare is immune to being marked while it's still burning.

We think this extra utility makes flares an even more useful part of Pathfinder's kit and will make the Flyers feel a tad less omniscient. To mitigate this new ability, remember that Dilophosaurus spit can extinguish flares!


PCE game servers now log basic performance data of players from match to match in the background. This is an initial step towards implementing more advanced team sorting.

Being rank 150 doesn't guarantee a player is an elite pro gamer, but it can be demoralizing when all of the Evolved people are on one team. We're going to gather stats from matches with this patch to see how best to engineer our new sorting algorithm. Once ready, the game will sort players according to various criteria when a new match starts to try and have the fairest distribution.


A lot of what we're doing lately is getting rid of some of the rough edges and awkwardness with some of the game's mechanics. One of our focuses has been making weapons feel better, smoothing out issues with various timers that prevent you from doing certain actions. For a complete list of all the fixes and improvements in today's patch, see below...

• Added healing over time for dino melee kills, takes 2 seconds
  
• Taking damage doesn't entirely cancel the healing, but reduces amount of health to be restored
  
• Tyrants healing from eating humans is now staggered, triggering 4 times over the course of the animation and checking if the human is still in the mouth.
  
  
• Made it so both tyrants get the full health when snatching humans from one another
  
  
• fixed no charge-up indicator for bracing as a Tyrant
  
• implemented custom animations for Tyrants when bracing
  
• using the Acro stomp attack now forces you to exit bracing
  
• tyrants are now forced out of sprinting when initiating brace, and vice versa
  
• fixed Tyrant brace not stopping when out of stamina (below minimum amount required to brace)
  
• fixed tyrant brace not being enabled by holding down the "crouch" button
  (can use either crouch or special movement key)
  
  
• Carnotaurus now has reduced attack damage after roaring:
  - headbutt damage reduced from 85 to 63 while roared
  - secondary reduced from 50 to 40 while roared
  
  
• pathfinder flares now remove the marked status from humans if they are within a certain radius
  
• if a human is close enough to pathfinder flares, they are immune to being marked by Flyers
  
  
• Can now swap weapons while firing more smoothly
  
• Cancelling out of reloading / firing a weapon is now easier
  
• Slightly better accuracy for poison dart rifle + one more round in the magazine
  
• Flamethrower should now have an easier time igniting pools on sloped terrain
  
• Started fixing certain weapon reload animations getting cut off
  
  
• fixed out of breath sounds for humans not playing in multiplayer
  
• fixed SMG sound glitching when holding fire button during reloading
  
• fixed incorrect rotation for the left SMG muzzle flash (shell casings galore!)
  
• updated rumble effects and sound notifies for several weapons
  
  
• updated TDM scoreboard sorting, is now: max(kills, assists) - deaths
  
• fixed new dinosaur crosshair turning red when looking at already dead humans
  
• fixed multiple-choice death hints changing super fast while waiting to respawn
  
• fixed a rounding issue with the scoreboard that could produce really long score numbers
  
• fixed main menu Evolve button not being pressable sometimes
  
• fixed a server crash related to animation glitching
  
• added end of round stat printouts viewable in server .Log files

We're currently building towards the release of our PlayStation beta this month, as well as the annual Meltdown event on Steam.

The next update (Summer Warmup) will release at the end of June and bring some initial preparations for the massive 3.0 overhaul. As our focus is more on the PS4 side currently, we'll have a smaller set of new items debuting here. The epic Meltdown motherlode will be heating things up later this summer.

It's going to be a crazy couple of months, and we're looking forward to bringing you lots of new features, maps, and more soon!

Thanks for playing!

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam!
We have updates to the official merch shop, another retro store rotation and several fixes / tweaks...


We're mainly focusing on minor tweaks and quality of life fixes currently while preparing to launch the PlayStation beta. Today's patch includes several of these changes.


Dinosaurs now have a new more "Primal" feeling crosshair, which turns blood red when hovered over an enemy (those who prefer a minimal look can swap to a simple dot in the gameplay settings). This change is particularly helpful for Tyrants, whose giant heads can obscure the targets they are trying to eat.

The mercenaries can now trigger inspection animations for several weapons by pressing Reload when they have a full clip. We'll be expanding this to *all* weapons in a future patch.

Camera animations have started to be updated, with adjustments to sniper rifles and the netgun motions. Tyrant footsteps now have more noticeable screenshake that persists across a greater distance, with a longer and more pronounced camera wobble which hopefully makes them less "stealthy."

However, our primary focus on PC has been investigating some of the more stubborn old bugs. One of the more devious issues was projectiles "losing their owner" on death, leading to human teammates catching fire or exploding if someone was autobalanced or died at the worst moment.

This has now been resolved, and we're looking into squashing other annoying issues with partial fixes already. If possible, please report any serious bugs you encounter on the Bug-Reporting channel of the official discord and include your latest .log file (found in the Logs folder of your PCE game install).



The official merchandise store now features a new batch of items, ranging from action-packed posters to truly Jurassic-sized mouse mats!



There are brand new dark mugs such as the ominous Novaraptor Stasis, more T-shirt variants, and some lovely stickers to show your dino appreciation.



Click HERE to visit the merchandise store, and look forward to even more merch being added soon!



The latest classic colletion returning today is a real Bruiser bonanza! Bashing their way in-store are over FIFTY different retro Carno, Cerato & Pachy items with great discounts. Check out a sampling below...



You can see all of this week's returning cosmetics in the most recent column of our special Trello page! Up next is Raptor Rampage, where Oviraptors and Novaraptors flock this way...!

• Fixed explosives losing their owner on death
  
• Projectiles and traps are now cleaned up on death / autobalance
  
• Fixed flamethrower and molotov damaging humans if active when a Pyro dies / gets autobalanced
  
• Fix for when hurt by your own explosive then die by something else being classed as suicide
  
• Fixed the HUD icon for Grenegg going crazy sometimes
  
  
• Added an alternate crosshair for dinosaurs which goes red when over enemies
  
• Updated the Show Dinosaur Crosshair option in Gameplay settings to allow swapping styles
  
• Humans can now "inspect" their weapon by pressing Reload when their gun has full ammo (WIP)
  
  
• Updated camera motion + increased radius of tyrant footstep screenshake
  
• Updated reload and firing camera animations for netgun & both sniper rifles
  
  
• Potential fix for some players being unable to join matches because the server thinks it's full when it's not
  
  
• Added safety checks in code for dinosaur models, may fix model glitching when swapping sometimes
