Greetings Survivors!

We appreciate your patience as we completed the transition between seasons! We are excited to announce that Season 6 is now available and patch 1.1 is now available to download!

With the release of Season 6, there have been massive changes to the way base raiding and looting works. All weapons now have a specific weapon level assign which will determine the damage output for each gun. The higher the weapon level, the more base damage it is capable of doing! For raiding, we have also introduced a stability system to allow for easier raiding along with other balancing.

There's so much to talk about, for this season and we have a ton more to come. Be sure to check out the patch notes below for all of the changes that have been made for the start of the new season.

For Season 6, please be sure that if you encounter any bugs that they are immediately reported to staff via the following link - https://forms.gle/zNQ8VhjH7LvvaMt17. For all bug reports, please ensure you are providing video, screenshots, and steps to reproduce the bug so that our team can quickly reproduce and fix it. Do not spread information regarding bugs you encounter as we want to fix any bugs that might be abused to ensure that everyone is playing fair.

As always, thank you for your support and feel free to reach out to our team via our official discord at https://discord.gg/xera.
