- Changes & Fixes -
Zombie Health - Speed Penalty
Following the Tank Patch in 1.9.5, An oversight with the speed penalty has been resolved this patch.
Tank zombies will now receive the correct speed penalty based on the amount of health they have upgraded, which should result in less Ferrari Tank builds running around...
Speed
The speed system has been adjusted with minor tweaks to reduce the gap between new and veteran players.
Base upgrade speed has been slightly increased, while per-level upgrade gains have been reduced to balance the new base change.
This update provides a modest boost to starting stats and upgrade power for new players, with minimal impact on high-level veteran players.

As base speed has been buffed, Speed Perks and Yin Yang's will be slightly stronger by default.
The Survivor Speed stamina penalty has also been reduced by 20% to match the previous stamina regen nerf.
