Rebalanced the nutrition values, inventory sizes, and how filling each edible item is Farming actions have been moved from plants to plant slots for easier targeting All plants now have different growth times (between 20-50 minutes) Adjusted nutrition values of horticulture vegetables according to their growth time Fertilizing now increases the yield of plants instead of their growth time Increased the chance for plant infestation Plants will spoil after a while when being fully grown Slicing a pumpkin now yields two pumpkin slices The worse the condition of a vegetable, the fewer seeds it will give when cut Unpacking seeds now spawns paper Rebalanced ammunition types The friction of bullets has been increased to make the difference between ammunition types more visible Increased the penetration of high caliber ammunition Heavy impact rounds slow down the player and apply more shock damage Efficient ballistic rounds keep the speed (and therefore bullet energy and resulting damage) longer and are thus more efficient at long distance .380 and 5.45x39 are the weakest in their category but are found more often in the world Special types: .22 is used by peculiar weapons (MKII that is integrally suppressed and Sporter that is an almost recoilless precise semi-auto rifle) 12 gauge rubber slug deal extreme shock damage at close range 12 gauge buckshot slow down much more The typical speed of bullets have been adjusted to be equal to the initial speed (temporary and will be reintroduced later) Modern firearms require more maintenance when used Adjusted the

rifles Melee damage using impractical items is now weaker than fists Slightly increased fist damage Increased the damage of most tools to be more efficient than fists in combat Players are no longer targeted by infected while unconscious Light melee attacks have a lower chance of staggering infected (blunt melee weapons with higher shock damage having a higher chance to stagger infected) Infected are now tougher in combat Melee attacks on infected are now more consistent in terms of the number of attacks required to take one down Improved efficiency of backstabbing against infected (executed with sharp weapons) Infected now react to players interacting with doors Infected react less to suppressed shots and more to louder shots Infected give up searching for players faster Reduced the efficiency of the scream of the infected AI is no longer taking damage from damage zones (fireplaces/barbed wire) Land mines can no longer be disarmed using the Bear Trap (killing the player in the process) Matchboxes can now be combined but not split When focusing on a specific part of a car/base building object etc., the name of that specific section will be displayed in the widget Reduced the audible range of the reload sounds by 50 percent When having your hands cuffed with barbed wire, struggling can now cause bleeding You can now choose to stop an ongoing connection attempt and connect
