Update Notes: Revelation (0.9)
Hello Responders!
Welcome to the Revelation (0.9) Update, our last major release prior to 1.0. This update continues to build upon the foundations of previous Early Access improvements and focuses directly on core aspects of the No More Room in Hell 2 experience: Difficulty tuning, firearm depth, clearer progression, user experience improvements and a whole host of bug fixes. With so much new content coming in 1.0, we felt it was important that Revelation continues to focus on improvements to allow players to earn any remaining Early Access rewards and prepare for the progression wipe.
We’ll still have more news and updates on our road to 1.0 – we know everyone is excitedly waiting for more information surrounding Survival and more – so stay tuned and we’ll share more soon!
For a full rundown of everything that is LIVE in-game today, here are the patch notes:
Feature Updates
Firearm Combat
As mentioned in our Firearm Combat blog, we’ve done a holistic overhaul of ranged weaponry from ammo to firearms and their attachments. These changes aim to make firearms feel more iconic in their strengths, while also reinforcing reasons to prefer and swap between them. This is a feels-based pass so all these adjustments are to enhance the fantasy of these weapons while keeping them grounded in their realistic functions. From overmatching penetration to damage through zombie armor to suppressors drastically improving your ability to stealth, firearms will now have adjustable identities that you can lean into to define your playstyle.

Developer Note: These numbers deserve a bit of context. Damage and general ballistic performance is more consistent across guns of the same caliber, meaning that you can clearly feel the quality jump between firearms that share caliber. When shifting between weapons of the same class but different calibers, you should feel more tangible upsides (with tradeoffs) as you ascend the calibers. Prior to this change, most weapons had very similar stats which meant most firearm choices came down to the most abundant ammo type.

Players that extract early get no credits, and their supplies are added to the team pool.
Players that fail to extract only receive credits for the supplies they personally gathered.
Supplies value adjusted to match Credits gained from extracting them.
Small Supply: 2
Medium Supply: 5
Large Supply:10
Critical Supplies are tracked separately and not subject to map supply caps, providing additional Credits on top of normal supplies.
As part of this change, the costs of all Credit purchases have been adjusted.
Perk rerolls now scale their cost with the level slot they are being placed in.
