Release Notes Build 8.6

Buffed Rewards, New Halloween themed Items & Nerfed Infected Changes are Live!

Rewards:

• 2X Rewards are still In effect!
  
• Better Rewards for Bacon (up to 5X increase in drop chances).
  

Balancing The Infected:

• Infected's Start increased to 15s from 10s.
  
• Infected's Field of View decreased to 6.5 from 9.5 (32% reduction).
  
• Infected Rage Bonus Speed decreased after Ghost Curse to 3.2 from 4.25.
  
• Infected's Scent Skill Wait Time increased to 10s from 7s.
  
• Ghost Curse activation, after dying, increased to 5s from 2s. This will help give Survivors more time to think before using their Ghost Curse/Stun ability.
  
• Ghost Curse Slowing Effect decreased to 1.5s from 3s. This makes Ghost Sun activate faster.
  
• Survivor's Field of View decreased to 10 from 14 (28% reduction). FoV for Survivors was never intended to be at 14.
  

Info:

• What is Ghost Curse? This ability slows The Infected before Ghost Stun activates, which happens automatically after Ghost Curse Slowing Effect is over (1.5s of slowing; 3s of stunning).
  
• What happens if the Infected kill a Survivor after Ghost Curse is used but before Ghost Stun goes off? The Ghost Stun is cancelled and the Ghost does not get their ability back.
  
• What is Infected Rage? This ability enrages the Infected and activates after Ghost Stun dissipates. Rage gives the Infected a temporary speed boost of 3.2 for a total speed of 9 that lasts 2 seconds. (Survivor's speed is 6; Infected is 5.8)
  
• The more you win and the more people survive the better rewards you will get.
  

Item Shop:

• Bundles are now available in the Item Shop. These are a group of related items together sold at a discount.
