Finally, let’s have a look at the full patch notes:
Difficulty
- Rebranded & rebalanced all 4 Difficulties, now having a dedicated screen for it, together with explanations of what to expect!
- Magazines you'll find in the world won't always be fully filled with rounds on the higher difficulties. You'll need to scavenge more whilst receiving less total ammo!
- The highest difficulty spikes have been smoothed out whilst still roughly keeping their original feel. Noticeable changes are the ‘SUNSET RIDERS’ end fight & both the ‘OOPS’ bridge & end fight.
- Configured Fungus Counts per difficulty with our brand new system, greatly increasing how much fungus spawns on Survival & Apocalypse.
- The new difficulties are called ‘Story, Adventure, Survival, Apocalypse’. We recommend most players that have prior VR experience to try out Survival!
- ‘Story’ is meant for players that want to experience the campaign without too much threat or challenge - allowing you to focus on the story and play fetch with Buddy!
- ‘Adventure’ is for those new to VR. You might like some challenge but prefer it to still be balanced in your favor.
- ‘Survival’ is how we’ve always envisioned Arizona Sunshine 2 to be experienced. This is the recommended difficulty for those that have prior VR experience.
- ‘Apocalypse’ is for those that want a hardcore zombie experience. You’ll have to scavenge every nook and cranny to get by and will be dead in just a few hits.
Toggle Grip
- Added a new Grip Mode option. You can now select ‘Toggle Grip’ within your Settings!
- Toggle Grip will keep your weapon stuck to your hand even after you stop pressing down on the Grip button.
- Dropping weapons entirely - for example to share them with your co-op partner - can be done by pressing on the bottom face button for 1 second.

Balancing
- Changed the Tommy Gun to use rifle ammo instead of pistol ammo, as to make it a more viable option!
- Health regen is now fixed for all difficulties, preventing the red 'throbbing' vignette from staying on at higher difficulties if you couldn't find any food.
- Made the Shotgun deal more damage on higher difficulties, now allowing you to still one-shot zombies when you’re close enough!
- Reduced the Penetration Force of Shotguns, preventing one pellet from going through 5 zombies at a time.
- Made the M67 Frag Grenade have a bigger explosion radius, whilst slightly reducing the Stick Grenade’s radius.
- Zombies’ Attack Impact Fraction should now better match their animations, preventing unfair situations where you'd get damage before the zombie visually hits you.
- Dynamic ammo Spawning will no longer kick-in as hard when you start running out, preventing some of the fully-stacked ammo crates you would find from time to time.
