Deadside: Update 0.4.0 Now Live on PTS; Brings New Items and Gunplay Improvements

Update 0.4.0 for the hardcore multiplayer shooter Deadside is now available on the game’s public test server. Be sure to hop on the PTS if you want to try the latest features.

So, what’s in store for you in Update 0.4.0? Well, this patch adds new items, including those specifically for obtaining water and some meant for hunting.

This patch also implements gunplay improvements. For one, gun recoil has been changed, so maybe there are certain weapons that do not have as much recoil per shot as before. Weapon animations and camera behavior while shooting has been improved as well.

Another huge change in Deadside’s recent update is that it is now possible for your weapons to get jammed. Fortunately, you can disassemble them and use repair kits to fix the problem.
