Hi Hurtworldians,

Experimental branch patch 0.5.9.0 is now live. Unfortunately we are going to have to postpone the new map release until next week. We've been working around the clock trying to get it ready for public consumption but at this point it still has quite a few issues that we need to resolve.

Either way, Tom has been cooking up a few gameplay changes that we will push out tonight with a wipe to tide you over for another week. We will leave the default map set to diemensland for this short week wipe cycle.

EXPERIMENTAL 0.5.9.0 (29-JUN-2018)

• Added Mining Bow
  
• Added amber protection information to item tooltips
  
• Vehicles now cost amber to claim
  
• The driver of a vehicle now receives an alert if the self destruct timer is activated
  
• Added bow redraw speed stat to improve bow reload times
  
• Added bow redraw fragments
  
• Vehicle wheels now apply their force at a height equal to center of mass, this reduces the effect tire forces have on vehicle orientation
  
• Improved vehicle handbrake so vehicles slide more like the legacy implementation, the new wheel force application point also fixes handbrake pulling the Kanga's front wheel up
  
• Removed most of vehicle weight's influence over vehicle handling, vehicles are now more consistent between different attachment configurations
  
• Removed vehicle top speed stat, a vehicles top speed is now defined by the point where engine power is matched by vehicle drag
  
• Buffed AWP pvp damage (50 -> 70)
  
• Buffed Iron Axe pvp damage (25 -> 35)
  
• Fixed a bug where a passenger exiting a vehicle would always cause it to power off (now vehicle only powers off when empty)
  
• Fixed an issue where Kangas could get stuck after returning upright due to the driver seat being blocked
  
• Fixed an issue where a vehicles normalized top speed was not being calculated correctly causing vehicle control systems to be applied at the wrong strength (also fixes vehicle gearboxes never shifting out of 1st gear)
  
• Fixed footstep audio playing after entering a vehicle sprinting in 3rd person view
  
• Vehicle airdrops have been made 100% accurate
  
• Fixed an issue where bows were not being affected by inaccuracy calculations, bows are now less accurate while running and while airborne
  
• Improved handling of player name validation
  
• Fixed a bug where melee attacks were not being denied properly when being blocked by level or base geometry
  
• Improved FPS Sight offsets with Eureka scopes (Camera approaches lens when sighting in)
  
• Made item context menus more robust
  
• Fixed Roach and Kanga engines appearing black
  
• Fixed an issue where vehicle health could fail to sync in vehicle UI
  
• [SDK] Vehicle gearboxes now have user defined gear ratios in ItemComponentVehicleGearbox
  
• [SDK] Fixed bugs with AdditiveMaskSupport, these assets should now work correctly
  
• [SDK] Fixed bug where IconBuilder's Update Lighting Snapshot button didn't work
