It’s only been a few days since Back 4 Blood released, and developer Turtle Rock is already addressing some of the more common concerns. The game’s first hotfix, released overnight, specifically targets the spawn rate of special zombies, and makes a few tweaks to the Swarm PvP mode.
First, when playing the campaign, you may have noticed that the game can sometimes throw a lot of random special zombies at you, often at the same time. This was an issue across the various difficulties, causing a sudden difficulty spike.
The hotfix reduces the spawn rate of roaming special zombies on all three difficulty settings. “This is an attempt to address some of the concerns regarding the challenges presented by some difficulties,” said the developer.
