Server Downtime: 3pm to 4:30pm PST
Survivors, the days of walking from Frosty Pines to Clearview are about to get a little less exhausting.
December 11, 2013 we will be releasing vehicles into the PTE Servers. We are asking everyone that can jump in and help us out in testing vehicle functionality.
We will have the following three vehicles for testing available on the Public Test Environment
(PTE) Servers ONLY:- Buggy - Occupancy of 3 riders
- Striker - Occupancy of 3 riders
- Zombie Killer - Occupancy of 2 riders
**** Striker occupancy changed to 3 for now. Will return to 9 when functioning as intended. For now the limit will be 3 until this fix is in place.
- Enter: Hold E to get in the vehicle as passenger\driver.
- Controls: WADS setup just like normal movement controls.
- Upkeep\Repair: Repair kits can be used to fix vehicle damage. Once it starts smoking, you will want to get that checked out. Flames, well we don't have to tell you that fire is a bad thing when dealing with cars. You will have little time left from this point to survive behind the wheel. Once flames start showing you will need to repair it ASAP!
(Regular kits will provide 33% health and premium kits will provide 66% health regeneration) - Upkeep\Fuel: Gas canisters will spawn in the world for vehicle refueling. Stock up! You don't want to be caught "dead" without it!
- Availability: Vehicles will be spawned in cities with random health. Once fully destroyed, they will respawn in another location.
- Damage: Vehicles are not invincible and neither are survivors when inside them. Both will take damage from bullets\attacks but only the vehicle takes fall damage.
- Degradation: Vehicles will degrade over time. After 30 minutes of inactivity from initial entry, vehicle will start to lose health until re-entered or destroyed.
- Headlights: Pressing F while in the vehicle will enable headlights for night driving
