Hello, all.

I'll be dropping a major update soon that reworks the RPG, giving you an optional rogue-like experience. Delayed a little bit because of the holidays, but once I'm back, I'll drop it for testing.


- You'll be able to have multiple character save slots...

- Your inventory is shared amongst all characters. This means you only have to grind the gear score once on one character, and subsequent characters exist for your opportunity to grind/build your attributes differently.
- Sky levels / Prestige is being re-integrated into the RPG. Your attributes determine your current level, and when you reach your current max level (in attributes) you'll be given the opportunity to prestige.
- Prestige raises your max attribute level by 1, increases your loot drop strength across the board, and increases your max gear score, while resetting your score to 0 and attributes to 0. You won't be restricted from using your high-level gear, though bonuses are based on your attributes, so low-to-no attribute levels will dramatically-affect gear.
- Leaderboards and high scores will remain tied to whatever difficulty you're currently playing on.
- Finally, you'll also be able to opt-in your character to the traditional "hardcore" option in games like Diablo. Doing this will grant you access to loot you can't obtain in normal mode, but said loot can be accessed by all characters, not just hardcore characters, granting you permanent rewards for taking big risks.

Hello all, this update is long overdue.

• Added a quick-time-event for Survivors who are grabbed by Special Infected.
  Simply SPAM your movement keys to fill the bar and free yourself.
  This takes a minimum of 5 seconds, so Survivors won't walk away unscathed.
  Survivors have a 25% chance of failing the event, so it's in the favor of Survivors.
  
  
• Loot bags spawning per player is now in your Settings -> Gear Drop Settings menu.
  By default, loot bags are disabled for new players and successful loot rolls will be automatically placed in your backpack.
  
  
• Special Infected, including Tanks, should no longer spawn on your crosshairs, inches from your face.

This update adds gear scaling, so that all gear is viable even below the gears viable level.

Dying, leaving the game during a live round, and campaign swaps all reset a players level to 1 and reset all attribute experience. Because of this, having gear you've obtained at later levels being able to scale down is essential for balance purposes.

For example, if I'm level 17 and obtain a piece of loot, it'll have an Item Level of 17. If I die, my level resets to 1, and I can still use this piece of gear, but it'll be 1/17 effectiveness, and scale up to 100% effectiveness when I am level 17 or higher.
