Update 0.2.4 Now Available in No More Room in Hell 2
Torn Banner Studios Adds New Zombie Foe, Enhanced Runner Zombies, Three Responder Skills and Vital Bug Fixes to First Update of 2025
Toronto, Ontario - January 21, 2025 - Torn Banner Studios, the hit developer behind the critically acclaimed and chart-topping Chivalry 2, announced today that the 0.2.4 update for the eight-player, co-op horror shooter No More Room in Hell 2, is now available. No More Room in Hell 2 launched in late October into early access and 2025 starts off with this first update. This is a free update for all players, adding new gameplay features like the Firefighter zombie and reworked ammunition along with enhancements and bug fixes that improve quality. This update also sets the stage for more robust improvements and new game content coming soon, with much larger updates on the way.
Among the key features of the update is the introduction of a formidable new foe in rural Pennsylvania, the Firefighter Zombie. Players will instantly recognize these enemies by their firefighter gear and oxygen tanks, which can explode upon damage. The explosion, though non-damaging to players, has the potential to knock down nearby zombies, creating new tactical opportunities.
In response to popular demand, caliber type ammunition makes its long-awaited return to bring things closer to the original game. This feature reintroduces a variety of ammunition types, ensuring players need to be more strategic with their inventory and the ammo they carry. While some weapon categories, like shotguns, will still share ammo types, this change deepens the level of strategic planning required during gameplay.
Update 0.2.4 includes significant enhancements to the Runner zombie type. These changes make runners more dynamic and unpredictable by adjusting lunge attacks and improving their climbing abilities. Based on community feedback, the frequency of runner spawns has been lowered, ensuring a more balanced and engaging experience for players.
New Responder skills have also been added to this update. These include "Immunity," which reduces the chance of infection by half, "Outdoor Champion" which mitigates damage from fire, water, gas, and electricity by 30% and "Builder" which increases stack sizes for barricade boards and batteries.
Update 0.2.4 brings a host of bug fixes to improve gameplay stability and address reported issues. Fixes include resolving missing skills in tier requirements, correcting server toggle translations, and eliminating movement corrections caused by collisions with zombies. Other fixes ensure more accurate and effective climbing skills, visual appearance of zombies, removal of any floating character models, infinite ammo exploits and interaction bugs triggered by high ping.
