Overview
- The studio said both games were targeted by extensive, coordinated DDoS attacks, with a strike team working on mitigations as the assaults continue.
- An emergency patch on January 28 restores unintended weapon fire‑rate reductions, including on the Kettle and Venator, and fixes missing Raider Token cosmetics and a Ukrainian localization glitch.
- Developers clarified that slower loot reveal was a deliberate rebalance, adjusting how quickly the first item appears, with the Looter’s Instincts perk still accelerating reveals.
- Players reported severe instability including crashes, lag, and being stuck in matches that resulted in lost kits and loot, and Embark advised caution when logging in.
- Server stability fluctuated through the day with recovery signs noted on Discord, and SteamDB still tracked well over 100,000 players in-game as monitoring continues.
