Saber Interactve has released the latest hotfix for zombie shooter World War Z that’s available for download now on all platforms. Players should see this as World War Z update 1.67, and this brings a quality-of-life addition that helps make the Community Challenge counter a little easier to spot.

This should appear as WWZ update download 1.030 for those playing on current-gen platforms. It has the same list of fixes as the last-gen version.

World War Z Hotfix Released on April 29 After Major Content Patch Drop

Earlier this month, Saber Interactive released a content patch that introduced a rework of the Extinction mode, added community challenges and more. As expected with major content updates, a bug or two managed to sneak out, and this latest patch should fix that.

Here’s what’s new for today, courtesy of Saber:

General

  • Fixed a bug where a player would not receive the “Memento Mori” frame after joining or returning to an already started game.
  • Fixed a soft-lock in the Heavy Weapons customization menu.
  • Fixed the activation mechanics of the “Jammer” perk for the Defensive SMG WASP-180.
  • Fixed a bug where the player would not receive a drone when activating the “Drone Army” mutator.
  • Fixed an issue with empty slots in the collection that could interfere with navigation.
  • Fixed the description for the “Doppelganger” mutator in English and Russian.

Quality of Life

  • Added visual separation of numbers in the goal counter for the Community Challenge.

Extinction Mode

  • Fixed a bug where the player does not receive a reward after finishing the game during the episode rotation.
  • Fixed the incorrect pop-up text about the chapter unavailability if a party member doesn’t have the DLC unlocked.
  • Fixed an issue that made it impossible for players who didn’t have the Extinction Mode unlocked to accept an invite to this mode.
  • Fixed the confirmation button in the “mode unavailable” pop-up.

Will we get another content drop for World War Z? Saber Interactive hasn’t said anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we did, given the zombie shooter seems to have a solid playerbase.
