It is recommended to play on all servers with the lerp setting set to 0 (see Client Settings). These server and client settings combined provide an unmatched VAR performance (see net_graph 4) and network response.

When picking up a melee weapon, it is placed in a separate inventory slot. Characters can now carry both pistols and melee weapons simultaneously. Switching weapons is done as usual using the Q key (quick switch), 2 (repeated press), or the mouse wheel.

Boxes of incendiary and explosive ammo are treated as regular ones. If dropped on the ground, they can replenish the standard ammo supply of firearms. Standard ammo piles have been removed from maps.

When a character uses a medkit, it tears open, dropping three packs of pills. Occasionally, one of the packs may contain an adrenaline syringe.

A laser sight may already be installed on a dropped weapon. It can be removed or used with another found weapon.

Lasers can be removed from any in-game weapon and stored in your pocket. Only one laser can fit in the pocket at a time. To remove a laser, press the [Spray] button.

Any in-game inventory item, except pistols and melee weapons, can be dropped. To drop an item, press [Walk] and [Use] simultaneously.

Depending on the situation, the "M60" machine gun can be found on any map. It can also be reloaded and ammo replenished from an ammo box.

Depending on the situation, rifles like the "Steyr Scout," MP5, SG552, or AWP can be found on any map. The damage of each new weapon has been adjusted to match their real-life counterparts.

Certain campaign maps have been altered. Now you can pass through previously inaccessible areas, and new objects have been added to some maps.

Each player has a personal level, where the first digit represents the number of active hours played on our servers, and the second indicates the ratio of life time to death time on our servers.

On any map, you may encounter clowns, workers, mudmen, police officers, CEDA agents, or fallen survivors with loot.

AI has become much more helpful, acting as a personal servant to the player. Bots can be given defibrillators, bile jars, pipes, etc. Items are handed over the same way as pills (pressing the melee button). To exchange similar items with a bot, simply use the melee button. To take everything the bot has that you lack, hold the walk key and give the bot a backhand with the melee button.

A deceased player no longer takes their magnum, second pistol, and melee weapon to the afterlife. All loot drops upon death, increasing the survival chances for teammates.

Health bars and character names are no longer displayed. Health status and character names can be checked by opening the map's info menu (default key [TAB]).

Bullets passing through most walls and barriers do not lose their damage factor and can injure or kill both infected and teammates.

Teammate silhouettes are no longer visible through walls. Now, after mowing down infected at a wall, you might discover a teammate's corpse behind it.

When a character's health depletes, they die instantly and can only be revived using a defibrillator or by progressing to the next campaign map. Dead characters do not reappear locked in special rooms.

Melee and firearm damage to teammates is increased. A headshot with any weapon is always lethal.

Special infected spawn more frequently and in greater numbers than usual. They can also appear and attack in groups of three or more.

Special infected make noise only right before attacking. This makes it harder to anticipate their presence. However, the Jockey doesn't care about stealth and screams as usual.

The Tank and special infected no longer burn spontaneously, as if soaked in gasoline. They take damage only while in the fire zone and stop burning once out of it. Witches and regular infected still burn instantly.

The Witch no longer whines loudly about her problems across the map. She can only be detected visually. Be careful; if the Witch spots you, she'll instantly leap up and charge at high speed to avenge things you didn’t even do.

The Tank no longer roars from behind a corner, giving you time to prepare for its appearance. It remains silent until it sees a survivor. The Tank also runs faster now, and you can only outrun it with adrenaline.

The Tank's rock cannot be destroyed with any weapon. It always hits its target or any object blocking the way.

All weapons spawn as single instances, with their type and ammo depending on randomness. They change after restarting a map or campaign.

Health gained from pills does not count. A transparent health indicator shows only the potential improvement over time. This transparent indicator gradually fills with regular health, improving the character’s condition.

The rocket launcher now deals much more damage over a greater distance. A skilled zombie hunter can dismember a horde of infected with it, while an unskilled one can dismember their teammates.

Friendly melee hits can significantly worsen a teammate's health, potentially creating resentment against you in their otherwise kind soul.

Inhaling the Smoker’s smoke causes temporary damage proportional to the inhalation time. Health lost to smoke inhalation gradually recovers over time.

You can no longer camp behind a machine gun with unlimited ammo, forcing teammates to cover your helpless back while you mow down infected at the other end of the map.

You can no longer hoard ammo, and shooting at every wandering infected will lead to a quick death from running out of supplies.

All infected move at different speeds, independent of their health. They also notice characters at different speeds; some may ignore you entirely.

Weapons no longer magically reload in the background while you fend off infected with a melee attack. If you start reloading, you need to finish the process; otherwise, it will reset after using a melee hit. Shotguns are barely affected by this change.

You can no longer hide behind an indestructible safehouse door while your team gets shredded. Nor can you bug a Tank by barricading the door with your cowardly backside.

If your health falls below 21 HP, you hear sounds less clearly. The closer your health is to zero, the stronger the effect. Only real health is considered; temporary health from pills is ignored. Although it’s a difficulty increase, sometimes this effect helps you hide in time and avoid fatal damage.

Hordes of running infected no longer spawn for no reason. Hordes can only be triggered by loud events, such as a car alarm or barricade explosion.

The degree of infection varies among zombies, with some dropping dead from a leg shot while others won’t fall even after a neck shot. Overall, infected health has been lowered.

You can escape on your own from a Hunter, Smoker, or Jockey if your health condition allows it. However, it’s impossible to escape from a Charger due to its size and strength.

Fire from a Molotov cocktail no longer spreads as if a napalm bomb exploded. This change also applies to gas cans.

Tank health has been lowered and is consistent across all difficulty levels. Witch health has been significantly reduced, and a headshot from any weapon will instantly solve all her problems.

Sniper rifles now deal more damage to infected, but teammates are equally affected by the increased damage.

A headshot with any weapon sends an infected on a peaceful journey down the river Styx. Unfortunately, for the Tank, the head is not a vital organ, so headshots won’t have this effect.

Characters no longer get tired from swinging their weapons, pushing infected away, as their survival depends on it. However, swing speed has been slightly reduced.

Now, injecting yourself with this healthy dose of adrenaline will make you sprint like an antelope on steroids for a full minute.

Depending on the situation, the number of defibrillators may increase. This is now unrelated to difficulty levels.

Teammates now thoughtfully close safe room doors after those who were born in an elevator. When they hear a teammate has been grabbed by an infected, they rush to help. They also move closer to the player.

In all standard campaigns, there is no need to lie around and stare at the ceiling while waiting for evacuation transport. It arrives immediately after a short wave.

On higher difficulty levels, bots take significantly less damage and deal more. However, if a bot gets surrounded by regular zombies, this won’t help them much.
