The Z1BR client has been updated with the following fixes: • ARV spawns have been replaced with Offroader spawns to correct an exploit that allowed players to go prone and shoot inside the ARV turret • Twitch Account Linking/Unlinking has been fixed. • Asia/Pacific region lock has been softened so the region’s home server will be NA. No server downtime is required.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11988327/4264f0eeb5e3d98fc4475cdedaf6852f2f2cddca.png Season 6 of Z1BR begins today, Thursday, November 7, in all server regions (no downtime is required). This season, we are relaxing ping lock and removing Asia as a playable region. This will allow us to consolidate our player base and speed up match queue times on NA and EU servers, offering all players the opportunity to refresh their Leaderboard standing with the new season.

First off, thank you all for your patience as we worked through what’s next for Z1BR. We have a deep love for this game. H1Z1 on PC, after all, is the OG BR game that launched the most popular genre in the world, and many of us have spent years working on it. We know as well as anybody how much the landscape for battle royale has changed over that time; but we still believe there is a special something to H1’s unique flavor of no-frills BR. The dev team at NantG did an amazing job bringing Z1BR back to its roots, but the sudden transition left the game in today’s uncertain state. The challenge

As we stated in our Season 4 Announcement, we wanted to ensure that every player who would've qualified for Showdown in each region receives their rewards, per their ranking at the end of Season 3. After our standard review process (monitoring CS reports for cheating, toxic behavior, or confirmed exploits), we have begun the process of granting the following items to the following players: Animated Showdown AR-15: Top 15 in each region Showdown Logo Tactical Backpack: Top 100 in each region Showdown Logo Motorcycle Helmet: All Z1BR players who logged in during calendar year 2019 https://steamc

As we’ve stated since the transition, our number one goal is to maintain Z1BR game service while we evaluate the steps required to continue supporting the game. As part of this process, we want to provide our players information about the game as internal decisions are made in real time. On Tuesday, April 30, we are ending Season 3. We are also shutting down South America servers at that time. This will consolidate our Americas player base on North America, speeding up queue times and ensuring Z1BR's other servers continue to operate for the vast majority of our global community as we lead int

As many of you saw last Friday, NantG officially announced their decision to transition Z1 Battle Royale back to Daybreak. Like you, we were reacting to that decision in real-time, and are still digesting what that means for the game going forward. That means we don’t have all the answers yet, but we can offer our immediate plans for now until we are ready to share more. We can share today that servers will remain up, that we have no plans to change the name of the game, or make any other big changes that will affect your current Z1BR gameplay experience. Our number one goal throughout this en

The H1Z1 saga has taken yet another bizarre, confusing twist, as developer NantG Mobile has announced that it is giving up on the newly-renamed Z1 Battle Royale and returning it to original developer Daybreak Games. The studio did not confirm that the change has resulted in layoffs, as reported last week by Massively Overpowered, but said that it "will focus on its core mission of developing mobile games moving forward," and has "refocused our team toward this vision."  A little history probably wouldn't hurt, given all that's happened so far.

In the past few months, NantG Mobile has been working feverishly on rebranding Z1 Battle Royale and reverting the game back to its glory days. We’ve since made countless changes to Z1BR in an effort to recapture the moments that once made the game vastly popular and truly unique and special to many of you. Despite the team’s determination and commitment to revive Z1BR’s player base with our recent Season 3 launch update, we soon realized that the road is still paved with many challenges that preclude us from long-term success, including the confusion it caused by having both NantG Mobile and D

Reticle Blocking Begone Currently there are two situations where your reticle will get blocked, aiming uphill and while crouch strafing, both of which make it extremely difficult to aim. With today's patch we have made the following adjustments that address these issues: Lowered the weapon placement on the back of the character model to prevent weapons from blocking the reticle when aiming up hill. Moved the crouched camera height up to prevent the players head from blocking the reticle when strafing side to side while crouched. Optimizations Made an optimization to how the system handles pack
