Item Selection and Economy Adjustments
Following feedback regarding Loadout item selection changes made since Early Access, several items have been adjusted or re-enabled based on community response. While high-power items were initially removed to preserve late-game difficulty and encourage looting, the following changes apply:
- Baseball Bat: Re-enabled
- Long Pipe: Credits decreased from 1200 to 800
- Tree Trimmer: Re-enabled
- Hockey Stick: Credits decreased from 800 to 400
- Rochester 1873: Re-enabled
- Satchel: Credits increased from 450 to 1500
Hotfix Schedule and Player Action Required
Hotfix #1 is slated for early next week to tackle memory-related crashes tied to heavy squad customization. Until this patch deploys, the development team recommends avoiding clothing items that feature logos and patterns. This hotfix will also reset all player keybindings to resolve incorrect controller schemes caused by hidden Early Access save data.
Hotfix #2, planned for the week of August 24th, targets normal mode respawn messaging, adds extra respawns right before extraction sequences, fixes graphics menu scrolling, and addresses missing beginner air drops in solo mode. GeForce Now users experiencing crashes after the Terms of Service screen remain under active investigation.
