[Siege Worlds](https://www.siegeworlds.com), the multiplayer shooter that pays out in the DIVI and SIEGE tokens, released version 6.0.4 on October 10, 2026. The update, titled *A Proper Welcome*, adds a guided starter tutorial with a one-time 10 DIVI bonus, a gentler Zombies: Beginner mode, a new playable character named Skylie and a new home for character skins.

The developer's [release notes](https://www.siegeworlds.com/articles/update-6-0-4) put it plainly: "This update is all about getting started." That focus makes sense for a game with a lot to learn. Siege Worlds mixes real-time shooting with mining, crafting, trading and a token economy, and a newcomer has to survive their first fights before any of the reward systems mean much.

## A guided tutorial that pays once

The centrepiece of 6.0.4 is a new tutorial led by a non-player character, Sergeant Hale. According to the release notes, it takes about 10 minutes and walks players through a practice fight against zombies that can't kill them, then mining, forging, the vault and a first trade with another character, Marcus. Yellow arrows on the ground point the way.

Players who finish the practice fight earn 10 DIVI, paid once into their DiviGo wallet. The wallet can be connected from inside the tutorial, and if a player connects it later, the bonus waits with Sergeant Hale. Practice gear is handed back at the end, and anything a player already owned stays in their inventory. The tutorial can be skipped or replayed by talking to Sergeant Hale.

The bonus is an introduction to the game's crypto layer, not a promise of income. DIVI is the native coin of the [Divi Project](https://www.diviproject.org), a blockchain Cryptomorrow first covered [in 2017](/2017/10/12/divi-project-crypto-for-the-masses/), and its value moves with the market like any other token. Players will likely judge the new onboarding by whether it helps them survive their first matches.

The update also introduces four skill tutors in the home area: Gretchen for Mining, Ivo for Runecraft, Brother Sol for Occult and Bess for Farming. Those skills arrived in recent updates as the game added slower, role-playing systems around its shooting.

## Zombies: Beginner

The second new-player feature is a mode called Zombies: Beginner, listed first on the mode screen and free to enter. The developer describes it as one shared world for up to 40 players with only basic zombies, which have far less health and move a little slower than in regular Zombies. There's no late-game swarm or fountain invasion, and loot drops much more often, which the notes call "the best place to pick up your first weapons."

## Skylie joins the roster

Skylie is the update's new playable character. She costs 100,000 SIEGE, the game's own token, and comes with a perk called Prism Valkyrie. The release notes say it gives her the fastest reloads and movement in the game, plus 80% more health, 15% less damage taken and 10% more damage.

Skins have also moved out of the inventory and onto the character select screen. Players pick a character to see every skin made for them, click one to try it on, then equip it if they own it. Each character can wear one skin at a time. It's a small interface change with practical value: players can see cosmetic choices before they enter a match.

## Extraction gets harder for small groups

Not every change in 6.0.4 is aimed at beginners. The Extraction mode, in which squads defend a monument and try to get out with their loot, no longer gets easier for smaller groups. Every run is now tuned for a full squad, with tougher enemies and bigger waves. The developer's own warning is blunt: "Solo and small teams will find it much harder."

During the defence phase, enemies no longer spawn within 45 metres of the monument, so players can see them coming. More of them now go for the walls and queue up there instead of turning on the players.

## Discord linking and a long list of fixes

Players can now link their Discord account to their in-game name with a short code exchange between the [Siege Worlds Discord](https://discord.gg/q6S42sPyX8) bot and in-game chat. Siege Pass holders get a VIP role on the server automatically, and it stays in sync with their pass. Community links matter for a multiplayer game whose tournaments, announcements and regular groups tend to organise on Discord rather than inside the game client.

The release also includes a list of fixes and tweaks, according to the notes:

- 10 seconds of spawn protection after entering any game mode.
- Five times the Farming XP for planting, watering and harvesting.
- Party invites that pop up with accept and decline buttons, and loot sharing limited to monster drops.
- Connection fixes for a bug that could freeze menus, inventory or teleports while the game still looked connected.
- The ability for the team to switch on events that double every DIVI drop from monsters.

The update covers everything since version 6.0.2 and needs both a client and a server update.

## Part of a busy October

Version 6.0.4 landed between two other announcements on the game's site: the [Coffer Pets that collect and bank loot](/2026/10/03/siege-worlds-adds-coffer-pets-that-collect-and-bank-loot-for-players/), introduced on October 3, and The Bellower, a raid boss beneath the home world, announced on October 18. Those are separate releases, not part of 6.0.4.

Siege Worlds is developed by [LightningWorks](https://lightningworks.io), which also built the interactive comic [Siege Worlds Zero](/2023/01/20/lightningworks-releases-siege-worlds-zero-an-interactive-nft-comic/) around the game and makes the [Starblind comic series](/2024/01/15/lightningworks-details-starblind-zero-a-web3-comic-for-alien-worlds/). The game is available on the [Epic Games Store](https://store.epicgames.com/p/siege-worlds-2428a6). The October 10 release is less flashy than a new boss, but smoother onboarding can do as much to keep new players around.
