Reissad Studio is running a free 24-hour playtest of Bodycam v0.9 “The Dead & Damned”, which brings the Zombies mode back. The playtest opens at 8pm AEDT on Wednesday 11 November, and the full update launches for everyone on Friday 13 November.

When it runs

The playtest closes at 8pm AEDT on Thursday 12 November. Those are Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart times. Elsewhere in Australia, it opens at:

  • 7pm AEST in Brisbane
  • 7:30pm ACDT in Adelaide
  • 5pm AWST in Perth

It closes at the same local times on Thursday 12 November.

How to get in

Places are limited, and not everyone who asks will get one. Here’s the process:

  • Go to the Bodycam store page on Steam.
  • Click Request Access in the playtest section.
  • If you’re selected, the playtest shows up in your Steam library when it opens.

The studio says the aim is to catch the last bugs before release, and asks players to report problems and share feedback on its Discord.

What’s in v0.9

  • Zombie Trenches: a new Zombies mode on the Trenches map.
  • Village and Asylum: both maps return for Zombies, with reworked spawns and zombie behaviour.
  • Co-op: Zombies supports up to 4 players.
  • Weapon boxes: they now drop weapons with random attachments, and there’s a new, rarer loadout box.
  • New weapons: a crossbow and the TK-9. The crossbow is also on the PvP maps.
  • Public Pool: visually reworked, with a better layout.
  • Drone and RC lobby: a new room with a drone circuit and an RC car circuit. FPV controllers are supported.
  • Easy Anti-Cheat: arrives with v0.9 to protect multiplayer.
  • Locked and Loaded improvements: new weapon handling, animations, reloads and stress system, with ragdoll stumbling on the infected.

There’s also a long list of bug fixes and performance work.
