Patch notes.

Released according to BULKHEAD; gameplay untested

BULKHEAD confirms the update is released and servers are back online. The Wager Vendor opens later in Season 02.

• New weapons, vehicles, Molotovs and buildables are released; current records correct known prices and unlock gates.
• Logistics delivery streaks replace old payout assumptions; role XP requirements fall and equipment gates move.
• Controller bindings, private squad vehicle inventory, armor, parachutes and construction all change. Check the relevant guide before reusing an older route or kit.

Historical October 9 preview; superseded by released 0.2.0 notes

BULKHEAD previews Season 02 for October 15. The October 15 release confirmation supersedes this preview.

• New weapons and attachments, Molotovs, Wolf 110/Wolf Assault, T-72, Gepard and three building options are previewed without complete prices or statistics.
• Infrared Rangefinder batteries, helmet trade-offs and suppression resistance, rain/thunder and combat adjustments are future changes. Current records retain their existing source context.
• All Bakurani faction spawns are planned to move; Lonestar uniforms and Season 02 cash/XP bonuses are previewed. A 20% vendor discount is planned for teams at least 40 points behind second place.
• The optional Wager Vendor remains experimental. This preview predates the released notes; the Wager Vendor remains planned for later in Season 02.

Publisher-reported balance changes / reviewed 7 October; no Kingy match test

BULKHEAD reports an IR Rangefinder vendor restriction and a shorter CIWS-versus-Havoc destruction time. These changes require no new client download or server downtime.

• The notice says IR Rangefinders leave the vendor as regional servers restart within twelve hours, returning in Season 02 with batteries. It does not establish battery costs or existing-item behavior.
• CIWS now destroys the Havoc in about six seconds rather than twelve, according to BULKHEAD. No universal vehicle damage or hit-count table is established.

Official patch notes / client behavior needs retesting

BULKHEAD reports a WD-L020 fix for Windows 11 KB5124010 and a new DEPLOY server-choice flow. The announced maintenance window alone does not verify an installed client or every reported issue.

• Reports a fix for WD-L020 crashes caused by KB5124010; other crash codes and persistent cases remain separate.
• DEPLOY offers Official, Community, Infantry Mode and Low-Level server choices; Advanced Filters return to Official.
• The Join flow now shows connection state and queue position, if queued; region selection shows a selected count and the DEPLOY choice supports gamepad.
• Revive validation is server-authoritative; vehicle fly-through rewards are capped; buildable destruction rewards scale with construction progress; pallet deposits at FOBs outside the zone pay less. Exact new payouts are not published.
• Grenades, smoke and C4 can no longer be used from enclosed vehicle seats. The notes also report a Havoc damage fix for 20mm and 30mm cannon fire.
• Community admins can schedule daily UTC restarts and restrict RCON hosts; RCON messages are capped and configuration responses no longer expose server internals.

Historical / September browser update; Update 0.1.2 adds the newer DEPLOY flow

A reactive quality-of-life patch that split Official and Community browsing, improved discovery and added a temporary Community-server cash bonus.

• Added separate Official and Community server browsers and removed unnecessary Official-server filtering.
• Added Community text search, more reliable filtering, Show Empty/Full controls and persistent longer server IDs.
• Announced a 5% end-of-match cash bonus for Community servers for one week; that announced week has passed and no extension is established here.
• Listed GPU crash fixes, cash-exploit fixes and future Community-server work without presenting the future items as live features.

Official / live launch support

A small client update focused on login queues, server joins and players being kicked during play.

• Logged-in players were forced to restart and download the client update.
• Players were returned to a controlled login queue while server capacity was increased in batches.
• The team said it was monitoring the situation after the hotfix.

Official / Season 1.0 baseline

The first large public balance and systems ledger: vehicles, voice, server browser, performance, XP, economy and unlock tracks.

• Fixed the church-roof exploit and added a weighted report tracking system.
• Improved voice recovery after failed joins and added visible communication status.
• Applied the Z20 Lakota balance pass, fixed sluggish pitch and limited vehicle turret operator rotation speed.
• Raised FOB and Large Hammer prices; moved Artillery Tank to Career level 90 and Heavy Tank to Driver level 35.
• Changed multiple XP bands, vehicle XP, supply-crate XP and role-track unlock positions.
