Build and Survive Update 1

May 12, 2019

Features

Special rounds!

Every 2 rounds will be a special round! Currently, there is chance between spawning all tanks and all rogues. 

It spices up repetitive gameplay and makes things more exciting. More to come!


 

Dual wielding!

Ever wanted to go all akimbo on some zombies? Well now you can -- if you got the robux.


 

Level 100 'The Classic' skin!

Nostalgia anyone? This super dope skin transforms your regular laser gun into a pew pew gun!


 

Obsidian and Firebrick!

Added two new building materials - obsidian and firebrick! You can probably make pixelart now.


 

More XP!

XP amounts have been doubled! That's 6x XP for gamepass users.


 

Leaderboard!

Unfortunately not a global leaderboard -- but a server leaderboard! Displays wins and level of everyone in the server. 

You can now flex on your friends!


 

Networking rework!

For the nerds: this is a large internal accomplishment which lets us abuse remotes! 

Data is compressed to save bandwidth and connections are universal. Pixie dust, apparently.
