DEADSIDE Console 1.5.6 - Improved Squads & Weapon Models

Deadside console version 1.5.6 will begin releasing at 11:00 CEST on the 30th!

This update brings improved squad functionality, better weapon models, and important exploit and bug fixes to restore intended gameplay. 1.5.6 will also come with a full wipe of all official servers, giving everyone there a fresh start.  We understand that private server communities want to have the option to keep their progress, so private servers will be excluded from the wipe.

Because we will be wiping servers manually, the update will take a few hours to deploy

We have already started working on new content for both PC and Consoles now that the PC modkit is nearing completion, freeing up a lot of our developers. We are watching our Nolt and feedback channels to see what big features would be best to sink time into. We may even post some ideas for discussion in our community discord, so be sure to join if you would like to be involved

Lastly, we will be closing a selection of official servers with the wipe to keep appropriate gameplay density on official servers. You can find a list of servers slotted for closure in our last post here

With that said check out the full patch notes, and enjoy update 1.5.6!
