Game Update 6/2

[u/LegionCM]

Servers will be coming down at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific time for the regular two hours. A few things didn't make it into this patch that were on the Roadmap and those things will get pushed to later in the month.

Patch Notes:

• The Magnum and .44 Magnum ammo can now be found in the game along with Battle

Royale and Hardcore Battle Royale. Added a recipe to create Magnum ammo and the ability

to melt it down in the furnace.

EDIT: Known issue - Magnum ammo not spawning in Battle Royale

• Tear gas grenades are now available. When thrown they will create a cloud of gas that will

obscure vision, cause coughing, and do a small amount of damage. If you are wearing a full

face respirator the gas will not affect you.

• Large structure can now be picked back up

• Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

• There is now a key binding set for “Walking”

• Hardcore BR spawning is more distributed

• Zombie vision/night vision effects are cleared when leaving servers

• Dew collectors will now automatically fill up to five bottles of water at the same time

• The crossbow will no longer automatically reload in ironsights. To begin automatically

reloading release ironsights. As a result of this change, you will no longer get stuck in

crossbow ironsights.

• Drinking coffee will return an empty bottle to your inventory
• Repair Kits will now properly repair all weapons

Thanks, I hit copy/paste and got on the road to go home. Fixed it above.

• "Added a recipe to create Magnum ammo and the ability to melt it down in the furnace."

You added the ability to "melt it down" - by "it" are you referring to the Magnum Ammo or the actual Magnum Pistol?

Is this statement suggesting we will be able to melt down magnum ammo?

[u/BugMan717 → u/stockmasterflex]

lol what? it means you can break the ammo down and melt the gun in the furnace...

"to create Magnum ammo and the ability to melt it down in the furnace"

yea I guess you could be right, the problem is that "ammo" is the subject of the first half of the sentence so it seems like the word "it" is referring to the ammo and not the weapon itself.

I guess it would make more sense if "it" meant the Magnum pistol in context with the rest of the game - but in the actual sentence it seems like it's referring to the ammo and not the pistol.

as if the sentence was saying "to create magnum ammo and the ability to melt magnum ammo down in the furnace"

[u/deathwhitch → u/stockmasterflex]

The statement itself started with the gun and not the ammo. The IT in this context is referring to the gun not the ammo as the gun is main topic of discussion. Context is important

[u/stockmasterflex → u/deathwhitch]

yea, but in that particular sentence the subject is a "recipe" to create magnum ammo. The gun itself is not mentioned in that sentence, so "contextually" it would make sense for "it" to refer to either the "recipe" or the "ammo" - since the recipe isn't an item, it might make sense if the "it" was referring to the ammo since that was the only other subject in that particular sentence.

[u/deathwhitch → u/stockmasterflex]

context isn't bound to one sentence. Don't believe me try arguing the bible with literally any christian

[u/stockmasterflex → u/deathwhitch]

well yea, sure it isn't bound to one sentence - I'm merely suggesting that it is unclear because it could be interpreted both ways, so there is still the possibility that he meant that the ability to melt down magnum ammo in the furnace has now been added to the game. (although that is inconsistent with the way things have been in the past)

[u/deathwhitch → u/stockmasterflex]

possible but I doubt it. It is inconsistent. . . this is starting to sound like a debate with a bible thumper :P we should stop here before someone gets hurt
