In the survival MMO H1Z1 some changes are coming to the world with today’s patch on May 15th: Sneakers are now relatively strong and the world is becoming noisier.
Today’s patch in H1Z1 was supposed to be the “main attraction” to ensure that vehicles are integrated more into the game. Players should be able to shoot from outside to inside and from inside to outside, shoot tires, and do other things that we know from action movies. However, that didn’t make it into the patch. The developers at DGC want to deliver it later.
The patch from May 15th – Sneakers OP
Therefore, today’s patch in H1Z1 focuses more on minor changes and gimmicks:
- On PVE servers, Molotov cocktails and grenades now no longer deal damage to players. Additionally, survivors can walk through each other on the so-called “Carebear” servers, as the “collision detection” is disabled.
- What players wear on their feet will count in the future. They can choose between barefoot, sneakers, and boots. Barefoot is quiet but slow. Sneakers are quick but a bit loud. Boots are moderately quick and significantly louder. Balance enthusiasts will recognize: Sneakers are definitely Op.
- Additionally, “mood” music will now occasionally be played and there will be “grunting and panting” when hits occur.
- An “eye” slot has been newly introduced, where survivors can wear glasses, night vision devices, and similar items.
You can find the further changes in a developer post on reddit. The patch is currently being deployed. Servers should be back online by 2:00 PM. Read about how H1Z1 continues in our article on the May roadmap.
