Hello everyone! We're so glad to hear you've been enjoying the [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/17500/view/501703086540063058?snr=2___ v3.3 update] and the all positive feedback we received on Discord, forums and in-game throughout these past months! This greatly helps us to decide what kind of balance changes to make and to continue shipping these adjustments to you!

Today's patch will address some of those issues, which includes suggestions on Pistols, Carrier's attack speed and few changes for Hardcore gamemode that we think it's worth giving a shot. Before jumping straight to the changelog, we'd like to give the spotlight to something pretty exciting.

=== Characters Remake Previews ===
Our community contributors have been hard at work on their projects we've [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/17500/view/501694842286375221?snr=2___ announced last year] to keep ZPS up to today's standards, bringing lots of fresh content to the game. If you haven't heard yet, the first batch of their project, being the new Carrier model, has already been released as a Workshop addon for you to try it! It's critical to hear your thoughts on it before it's shipped officially in the future.

Regarding our legendary survivor Eugene, he's still being worked on by Vahrdon and will be out on the Workshop '''when it's ready'''. Until then, please enjoy these sneak peeks (Face concept by LucaBuca2000):

As a reminder, this is the final patch for 3.x versions as we prepare to put our plan to migrate ZPS to the latest ''''TF2 SDK' update-branch''' into motion. In case you're unaware, we'd like to bring 64-bit support, peer-to-peer and many other improvements from it to ZPS. We talked about it all in our previous announcement last year, which you can learn more below!

These things, they take time. So see you in the near future! 🎃
