ZT: Playtest 9 | Monkey Bombs, Bowie Knife

[ Prototype Weapon Rotation ]

• Hexecutioner, Death Wish, & PX-Annihilator available in mysterybox to everyone

[ New Prototype Weapon ]

• Added Squeakeasy to Boulder Tier prototype mysterybox pool

[ Monkey Bombs ]

• Monkey bombs now obtainable in mystery box

• Monkey bombs have a max reserve of 3

• Frag grenades now purchasable as a wallbuy on the map

• Double drop rate for this playtest

( I realized monkey bombs take up a tactical slot instead of lethal too late so I'll refactor my system it to not replace grenades in the future ) [ Bowie Knife ]

• Bowie Knife

• Cleaves up to 3 enemies per swing.

• Damage decreases heavily with each successive enemy hit per swing

[ Revive Changes ]

• Reviving no longer slows you down, but will now cancel if you're too far from the player you're reviving.

• Bleedout time scales with player count: -1.5s per player beyond 4

• Revive time scales with player count: +0.2s per player beyond 4

• Quick revive still halves revive time

Note: games with large player counts coupled with the network lag made games feel like a drag at some point. Hopefully these revive changes & network optimizations increase urgency & excitement w/ larger parties. Will adjust based on testing & feedback [ Wall Weapon Adjustments ]

• Replaced CZ75 wallbuy with M4A4 - 1500

• Replaced Scar 17 wallbuy with STG-44 - 1250

• Replaced SSG-08 wallbuy with Scar 17 - 1750

• Swapped FAL & MP5 location

[ Balance ]

• Increased Thompson rpm

• Reduced Thompson damage

[ Visuals ]

[ Changes ]

• Weapon ammo counter now stays visible when only grabbing secondary grip

• Adjusted power switch trigger

[ Bugs ]

• Fixed non-kill points from remote players incorrectly counting toward guaranteed powerup drops

• Fixed revive finished clip playing globally when a player is revived

• Fixed dead players being able to revive alive players

• You no longer gain points from reviving someone already dead

• Fixed false out of bounds checks

[ Performance & Networking ]

• Massively reduced stutters from zombies spawning & despawning
