SURV1V3 Update Patch Notes

Surv1v3 is a zombie survival sim that delivers a ton of content from survival modes to a decent story campaign, all in VR. Players can scavenge for supplies in a vast city map that includes abandoned subway tunnels to sewers.

There's also a vast arsenal of weapons from bows to ak47s and various melee options, all of which can be tested on either zombie or at an in-game firing range.

If crafting is your thing, you are also in luck as Surv1v3 includes a weapon upgrade and modification system and a crafting system that can be accessed via an in-game terminal.

All in all, Surv1v3 has it all and is constantly being updated with improvements and new features. Check the patch notes below to know what's being added and what has been changed in recent months.
