Hello everyone,

We are bringing a new Patch for Infestation: The New Z with some fixes and some new additions to the game, reworking existing vehicles and adding new ones.

• Added a new Truck to the game. It has 8 seats and it has 10 slots in the trunk for storing items.
  
• Added the Ambulance to the game. It has 4 seats and it has 12 slots in the trunk for storing items.
  
• Police, Sheriff Dragstar, and the Ambulance will have their horns sound.
  
• Reworked the Police Dragster.
  
• Reworked the Sheriff Dragster.

• Fixed a bug that caused vehicles to act weird when a player sat in the driver seat while passengers were inside.
  
• Fixed a bug with a sound that was caused by joining a server when someone nearby was in a vehicle.
  
• Fixed a desync of players sitting inside a vehicle after someone joins the server.
  
• Fixed a problem that caused players to appear sitting next to the vehicle after rejoining the server.
  
• Fixed a miscalculation of the gained XP in Battle Royale. The multiplier per minute did work properly.

We have made some changes to the names on the previously released contracts to make it easier to understand them. They will contain on the title what game modes, PVE/PVP, and if it's weapon restricted.
Here's an example:
Old: Weekend PVE AC Contract 1
New: [AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 1

We are also increasing the Account/Season XP gained from Weekend Contracts:

[AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 1: 700 -> 1400
[AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 2: 500 -> 1000
[AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 3: 600 -> 1200
[AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 1: 300 -> 600
[AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 2: 350 -> 750
[AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 3: 470 -> 1050

We are also increasing the Currency Reward for a few contracts, as follows:

[AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 4: 18.000 -> 31.000
[AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 5: 28.000 -> 48.000
[AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 6: 50.000 -> 75.000

• We are also bringing a lot of new contracts which will be released throughout this period.

ARCADE:

SURVIVAL:



FIXES

• Fixed the Alien IBA. It didn't glow like the other skins on the set.
  
• Easter 2022 Skinboxes and skins have been marked as Legacy.
  
• Easter 2022 Contracts and Mission items have also been marked as Legacy.
  
• Valentine 2022 Missions and Contracts will stop working starting on Patch 5.9
  
• Updated the Iraq Riot Shield.
  
• Updated the Saudi Arabia Riot Shield.
  We were made aware that since the Riot Shield contains the word Allah, it was considered offensive to followers of the religion to be shot. So we changed these two Riot Shields to remove the texts mentioning Allah on them.
  
• Fixed the eye on a character that would show the wrong texture.
  
• Fixed the PVP Map Contracts.
  
• Lowered the timer of Radiation Zone on Private Servers. You'd better hurry from now on.

Hey Survivors!

As you have seen already on our latest patch notes, we are going to start this year's Easter event,

We are always trying to bring new ways into events, like how you can participate or obtain rewards.

The biggest problem was always the number of new items to be added to loot tables because it affects the drop chance of the normal game items.
Now we are bringing an item box aka a metal bucket which you can get from normal zombies and open to obtaining the items you need to finish the event missions. This way the loot table won't be affected that much and the result will be the same.
Please let us know if you think we can improve it even more and we promise we will work on it.


During these event days, we will run small events such as Double Reputation, Double Experience, and more!

We are also bringing new contracts aka missions that are made only for this event.
Contracts can be obtained by killing Zombies, farming markets, or/and medic buildings.
You can read more about the contracts and their instructions right HERE


There is also going to be a login reward on Sunday, 17.04.2022. That means you need to log in during this day (Centre European Timezone) and will obtain a funny Easter Egg Armor.



A new backpack also will get added with this event. The size is between Medium Backpack and Large Backpack and it's called Easter Backpack.
You can get the backpack by killing Super Zombies in Arcade or Survival game mode. This backpack also brings 4 different skins which are available inside the Easter 2022 Skinbox.




The Easter 2022 Skinbox obtains a new skinset and also the backpack skins. There are a lot of ways to get the new skinbox:

• Super Zombies (Super, Alien, Toxic, Slicer)
  
• Battle Royale Winner reward
  
• Battle Royale random reward drop for Premium Users
  
• Competitive match winners
  
• Contracts
  
• Giveaways
