Hello Deadsiders!
Public testing of procedural maps begins now!
As you may have seen from our recent WIP post and teasers, the team has been working on making a procedural map generator for Deadside. This system will quickly generate a completely unique map, allowing servers to have a lot of map and gameplay variety. We already have a functional though work in progress generator that we would like to playtest with everyone.
This will be the first of several public tests before the release of version 1.7, that way we can correctly tune the generator before release. We are looking for feedback primarily on the overall gameplay experience, for example loot distribution, and PvPvE gameplay. Procedural maps will feature many new POIs for you to explore and test as well.
We will be launching three PTS servers, PvP EU, PvP US, and PvE EU. Each of these servers will have a 4x4Km map, each with a different seed. So when the test goes live tomorrow, login to the PTS and have a look around! The more feedback and participation we get from our community, the better the system will be on release
Check out the patch notes below the instructions for a list of smaller detailed changes

- Bots have a revised vision system
- Added the ability to quickly jump over balconies using space
- Fish now correctly appear in the player’s inventory after being caught from a boat.
- Remodeled GRM-40.
- Remodeled FAMAS.
- Removed many inventory restrictions when dragging and dropping to replace items
- The game no longer freezes when entering via the “Continue” button if the player doesn’t have the required mod installed on the client.
- If a player places an assault ladder belonging to another player on their base, the raid block for the base owner will no longer trigger even after the ladder is destroyed. The same behavior now applies to beds and sleeping bags. Other objects (structures and modules) still trigger the raid block like normal

Thanks for reading, enjoy the playtest!
