Update 2.6 (June 2017)[]
- New Missions & Heroes
- New Survivor Traits
- Shooter, Hunter, & Assault - Revenge: After an ally is attacked by an enemy in range and LoS, make an attack against that enemy that deals 50% of normal damage. [Upgradeable to 90%]
- All Classes - Ruthless: Your charge attacks do 10% more damage. [Upgradeable to 45%]
- Bruiser - Punish: At the end of the enemy turn, make a free attack against a random enemy next to the Bruiser that deals 50% of normal damage. [Upgradeable to 120%]. Note: This attack will also stun the enemy if a normal Bruiser attack against that enemy would do so.
- Equipment Traits
- Armor for all classes - Ruthless: Your charge attacks do [10/20/30]% more damage. Note: A survivor with Ruthless and this armor trait would add the values of these traits together to determine the final damage bonus.
- Hunter Rifles only - Incendiary Bullets: Your attacks have a [30/40/50]% chance to ignite the enemy, setting it on fire. Note: A walker on fire functions identically to a Burning Walker.
- Council Level 21. Players will be able to upgrade their Mission Car, and then their Council. Once the Council is upgraded, the Training Ground, Hospital and Workshop buildings can be upgraded. Upgrading the Hospital will increase the healing time discount by an additional 15 minutes.
- Upgrading the Mission car will increase the total maximum Gas tank size to 27. After upgrading their Training Grounds, level 22 Survivors will be available.
- With a full team of level 22 Survivors or Heroes, the weekly Challenge starts at difficulty 15.
- After upgrading their Workshop, upgrading level 22 equipment to a max level of 25 will be possible.

- Rare, Epic, and Legendary Gear Crates will guarantee level 22 equipment for players at camp level 63.
- New Radio Call - Platinum! We have a new Radio call available to all players who have upgraded their Radio Tent to Level 2 and completed Story Chapter 2. The specifics of this new radio call are as follows:
- Choose from three options, just like the Gold call. At least one of the three options in the call is guaranteed to be a Hero! Minimum results for each option of the call are 3-star Survivors, or Hero Token options of 32 or more tokens. Epic and Legendary Survivors, and Epic [128] or Legendary [256] Hero Token results are possible with this call. This call costs 25 radio phones. This call will be available for two weeks after the release of the Update.
- Trade Goods Shop Hero Tokens Repeat Purchases. Once you have purchased Hero Tokens from the Trade Goods Shop, the same type and number of Tokens can be purchased again right away. These additional sets of Tokens cost Gold, starting from a small amount. This is a great way to get the last few Tokens you need for an upgrade or promotion. When your Trade Goods shop is restocked, a new set of Hero Tokens, available for Trade goods, will become available.
- New Shop Interface: We've greatly improved the functionality of the shop, including the Building Menu and Trade Goods Shop. In addition to a new look and feel, players will have an easier time comparing the contents of various bundles on offer. Purchase stability and flow have also been improved.
- Bugs and Improvements
- Fixed a bug that caused the white or blue line that indicates the Action Point cost of a potential movement to show the wrong color by mistake.
- Fixed a bug that would cause a Leader Trait to continue to be in effect after the corresponding Hero was removed from the team. This includes cases where a Leader was removed from a team defending an Outpost.
- Carl's Leader Trait "Second Chance" will now ensure that the revived character survives until the start of the player's next turn.
- Fixed a bug where the Trial replay timers were started only after the player returned to the Mission Menu.

- Fixed a bug where some Challenge rewards were accidentally skipped when several were awarded at the same time.
- Streamlined the game loading sequence to reduce load times when the app is launched or restarted.

Hotfix (March 2018)[]
- Council upgrade: Players will be able to upgrade their Council building to Level 23.
- After upgrading the Council, players can then upgrade the Training Grounds to level 23, which will allow for training Survivors and Heroes to Level 24.
- An upgrade to the Scavenger Building, which requires Council 23, will increase the chances of finding higher rarity Components in Mission Crates. Players with the upgraded Scavenger will also no longer find Common Components in the Components Shop.
- The Workshop can be upgraded after the Council, and will then allow for the upgrading of Weapons and Armor of base level 24 to a maximum Level of 27.
- In conjunction with the ongoing Carol's Week upgrade event, all Council 22 players who earn a free Kingdom Spear through this event will receive that spear at level 24.
- New Challenge format based on temporary "Ultimate Challenges" held before:
- Starting Difficulty is based on the level of your three highest Survivors, but a little higher than previously.
- Players with three survivors at Level 10 will start at Difficulty 8
- Players with three survivors at Level 15 will start at Difficulty 11
- Players with three survivors at Level 20 will start at Difficulty 15
- Players with three survivors of Level 23 or higher will start at Difficulty 17
- Difficulty will raise after each Round for each of the first 1-5 Rounds, at which time the Difficulty will then increase once every two Rounds. Difficulties of 27 onwards last three Rounds each.
- Round Passes are awarded for every fifth Round advance.
- Players will be able to complete Rounds at whatever pace they like, and will not be delayed by a timer after completing several rounds in a short time.
- Rewards for personal and Guild star totals have been adjusted to help players earn rewards at a good pace even as Difficulty increases.
- Since fewer Rounds are needed to complete each Difficulty, it is expected that week-to-week star counts will be affected. However, now every additional mission represents a larger portion of your total score, so players who attempt the hardest missions will really stand out on the leaderboards.
- Starting Difficulty is based on the level of your three highest Survivors, but a little higher than previously.
- Players that have been playing No Man's Land for 20 levels or more are able to build up a great collection of equipment for their Survivors. As the game progresses, the relative value of Rare Weapons and Equipment decreases, since players unlock more ways to earn and obtain Epic and Legendary gear. For this reason, we are adjusting the contents of Gold Crates for high level players and high-difficulty missions.
- Gold Mission Crates after missions of Difficulty 20 or greater will have a smaller chance to contain Weapons or armor, and all equipment found in these crates will be Epic or Legendary.
- Weapons and Armor found in Deluxe Challenge Crates and Gold Rewards Crates purchased from the Trade Goods shop will be either Epic or Legendary for players of Council level 20 or greater.
- In general, players will find Epic and Legendary gear about as often as they did before, and the Rare Weapon and Armor rewards will be changed to XP in most cases, or Supplies for Supplies Scavenge missions.

Balance Update (August 2018)[]
- Change to crafting: The chances of crafting a Badge of a lower rarity than the average of the Components used have been eliminated. In order to maintain the relative value of high-rarity Components, the chances to find Rare and better Components in post-mission and other reward crates has been reduced.
- Changes to various heroes LT's
- Health Boost increased to 15/20/25 [bronze / silver / gold] to compete with Iron Skin.
- Wrestler damage for Silver and Gold versions decreases by a smaller amount [10%] round over round.
- Silence increased to 20/30/40.
- Accurate improved to 15/20/25.

- New Distance mapsets
- Change to gear drop levels: Once players have reached the maximum possible player level by building and upgrading their Camp Buildings, they should no longer find Equipment lower than the maximum level while playing equally difficult or harder missions.
- The Token Crate rewards at 1550 stars and above with larger quantities of tokens for fixed classes and Heroes. These will rotate weekly, so each Challenge will be a new quest of discovery as players attempt to top their high scores and achieve greatness.

RPG Update (September 2018)[]
Update 2.12 (September 2018)[]
- Season 9 missions
- Alt Heroes Introduced: Sniper Morgan, Riot Gear Glenn and Survivalist Rick
- New weapons, incl Light Machine Gun, Spear Gun & Daryl's Knife
- New melee trait: Razor. It reduces the chances of attacks resulting in a Body Shot, similar to the Piercing trait, and also decreases the enemy's Damage Reduction by a hefty chunk. This makes melee survivors much more useful in high-difficulty missions, allows for Bruisers to stun at higher levels more often, and is a great counter to enemies loaded up with Iron Skin and Damage Reduction Badges. [The last is something you might be doing more often in the future]
- Council update to level 24. The Training Grounds and Workshop will be available for upgrade as well, and the maximum survivor and base equipment level will be 25. Level 25 Equipment will be upgradeable to level 28.
- Players with three or more survivors of level 24 or higher will start the Challenge each week at Difficulty 18, and start playing two rounds per difficulty at Difficulty 23.
- The Distance Hard Mode missions have had their difficulties adjusted to account for the new maximum council level.
- Radio Tent lvl 11, which gives a free twice per week Silver radio call
- RPG buffed
- Bug fixes:
- The RPG Reload is now working correctly when equipped on Outpost Defenders.
- No more burning Survivors when you start a mission.
- Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect value being showed. Damage values inflicted in a mission has not been changed.
- The Revenge trait now no longer triggers when Freemen are attacked by Walkers.

- Fixed a visual error that showed Shooters needing 3 Charge points to use their Charge Ability.
