Breach and Clear: Zerg Taxes and Monument Blockades

Breach and Clear: Zerg Taxes and Monument Blockades

Major Combat & Balance Changes

Facepunch is finally targeting massive groups with a tiered TC tax system and new monument blockers to slow down early-game snowballing. Attack helicopters and armored HABs now feature conditional armor that falls off as they take damage, making them much more vulnerable.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

  • Car Handling: Modular cars now feature a handbrake for drifting and tighter turns.
  • Marketplace: Drone deliveries now require the Power Plant to be active.
  • Performance: Significant multithreading and physics optimizations yield a massive boost to overall frame consistency.

Everything else is just minor fixes for grenades, semi-pistols, and various world models. A massive, game-changing patch that finally forces zergs to pay up.
