Daybreak Game announced that H1Z1: Battle Royal will be launching this August 7th and with it a new update that adds new weapons, a vehicle, and starter packs.
Producer Terrence Yee wrote on the PlayStation Blog that:
“We’re excited to bring two new weapons to H1Z1: the explosive RPG and deadly SOCOM semi-automatic sniper rifle. The RPG has particular utility against vehicles, while the SOCOM slots in between the Scout Rifle and M40 Sniper Rifle (now a one-shot kill to the head, even with a helmet) to add another tactical layer to long-range gunfights. These two new weapons fulfill specific combat roles our community has been asking for, and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on them.”
“Also shaking up gameplay is a new vehicle: the ARV. This powerful personnel carrier fits a whole fives squad, and includes a hatch for your best marksman to pop out the top”
Balance Changes
The Hellfire will do less damage overall, and have an even stronger damage fall-off at distances beyond 50 meters
M40 headshots will be fatal, even through helmets
Crossbows with explosive arrows will do less splash damage
Added Weapons
SOCOM – A sniper option that sits right between the Scout Rifle and the M40, with a 4x scope on it
