In the survival MMO H1Z1 there will be a first wipe this week. Additionally, they plan to reduce the number of weapons and ammunition in the game soon.
It has been announced for a while, and some have demanded it loudly, to get rid of the dupes in the game: The survival MMO H1Z1 will likely make a fresh start this week, clearing the table and deleting everything. This includes the players’ characters, their names, and the state of the various servers.
If everything goes ideally, they want to try to implement the changes along with the wipe this week, where each player will only have one global name and only one character per server per player is allowed.
No one at DGA knows for sure if everything will work this week, if the wipe will happen, and if the changes will take effect. However, according to producer Steve George, it is “very likely.”
#H1Z1 You can most likely expect a Character/World wipe sometime this week. Get those screenshots while you can!

Less ammunition and weapons in the world
A patch is expected to be deployed soon that will shift the loot slider in the world of H1Z1 back to the left. Currently, there are too many weapons and too much ammunition in the game. The developers have probably overdone it after the initial scarcity and are now adjusting accordingly. A corresponding patch could still follow during the day today, Tuesday, February 3rd.
we’re toning down guns and ammo you find btw. way too much out there.
