ANNOUNCEMENT #21

                       Dawn of the Dead Announcement #21 – Status of 0.6beta version 

Welcome to the 21st Dawn of the Dead Announcement. Today we’re going to talk about current state of 0.6beta version.

It’s been a little over a month since we released our mod on Gates of Hell and we already gained more than 20K subscribers on Steam Workshop, and the number of Discord server members tends to 2K people! Thank you for playing our mod and giving us your feedback! It motivates us to work further.

New Maps

This update will include 3 new maps, 2 of them will be available in Conquest.  

New Units

• Both factions in Multiplayer will receive scout units. You can spot enemy units more easier with them in fog of war.

• Both factions in Conquest will receive Little Bird supply drop. Here is the video demonstration.

• Both factions in Conquest will receive 155mm Artillery Strike (HE, WP & Cluster)

• Renegades will get the first flamethrower vehicle based on Hunter Humvee. His rear side is the most vulnerable part. Don’t let enemy get behind you!

• Also Renegades will get an entire new tree of M35A2 & M49C trucks, similar to US Government HEMTT. Now there should be no problem with resupply the captured heavy armor. 

• And the last thing for Renegades – ambulance vehicle based on Cadillac Gage Ranger APC.

• US Government will receive a new M3 MAAWS rocket launcher. Firing distance – 90m, huge damage to the vehicles. But remember, don’t stay behind him.
  Huge thanks for Warfighter mod for permission to use their M3 MAAWS model in our mod!

Conquest Ambulance Vehicle Improvements

Ambulance vehicles now will buff infantry around it in its circle. With this buff:

• Infection damage will be very low and without stun effect;

• Unit will be revivable in any case;

• Wounded unit can’t be killed.

Infected

Infected got a lot improvements:
New hit animations, sounds, expanded damage & helmet systems, fake death (infected can wake up after a while and continue moving) and much more. Also we fixed a lot of issues, including stuck on spawn in Multiplayer. Due to huge problems and game limitations, we decided to enable infection for the all human unit types in Multiplayer and Conquest.

So watch for your soldiers! In this case, all medics, Zulu & BlackWatch got a adrenaline syringe in their inventory. Zulu and BlackWatch will inject they automatically after they get infected. 

• New infected
  
  

Be careful. Now during the battle you could encounter a new infected – grenadier. His vest with grenades can be detonated by bullets & explosions that cause the big explosion that can destroy at least unarmored vehicle. 

Other Stuff

And of course this update contains tons of fixes of all possible issues. And the main thing – you don’t need to copy our mod to mods folder anymore. Everything should work fine just with mod from Workshop. We have huge plans for the future and this update is just the beginning. On the next week we will provide final tests and then update will be available to everyone. Very soon. Stay tuned and follow our news!

Sincerely, ALC Team.
