Blood Lab Updates

Why track a testing build’s patches?

Blood Lab (BloodLab Testing, place 16978279748, universe 5826170323) is an early hardcore survival lab from GetRich Studios. It is not a forever live-service with weekly cosmetic seasons. Still, knowing when it launched, how long it received touch-ups, and what the studio spun out next keeps expectations honest for anyone joining in 2026.

Public footprint snapshot re-checked Nov 2026 via Roblox APIs: opened 2024-04-02, updated through 2024-09-16, visits on the order of ~767, vote tally about 9 up / 7 down, server size 4. Favorites remain in the small dozens on public mirrors.

Timeline overview

2024-04-02 — Launch of BloodLab Testing

The place goes public as a hardcore infected / TLOU-inspired testing experience. Core fantasy locks in early:

• Small co-op (4 players).
• Friendly fire ON.
• No passive health regen — bandages required.
• Spawn loadout centered on Glock 17 + AR.
• Optional stronger weapons via Gamepasses.
• Survival cadence notes mirrored from descriptions: food roughly every ~2 minutes, bandages roughly every ~3 minutes.

If you are joining cold, start with Getting Started rather than assuming modern Roblox regen rules.

Spring–summer 2024 — Iteration window

Between April and September the studio had room to poke systems that show up in community memory and older title strings — including spore zone style hazards. Exact patch notes were not always published as tidy blog posts, which is common for Roblox test places. Practical advice for players during that window:

• Re-read the Roblox experience description after each “Updated” stamp.
• Expect control tweaks around lean (Q/E), crouch (C), carry (G), drop (Q tap), reload (R), and fire mode (V).
• Assume FF never turns off unless the description explicitly says so.

2024-09-16 — Last widely noted update stamp

Activity on BloodLab Testing is publicly marked through 2024-09-16. After that, attention for many players shifts toward the studio’s larger open-alpha pitch. Lack of a daily patch does not mean the place is unplayable; it means you should not expect perpetual balance blogs.

Parallel track — The Last Of Blox open alpha

The Last Of Blox (place 17158476906) is the related open-world post-apoc experience: Boston-flavored exploration, allies/factions, infected pressure, house raids for food and weapons, voice chat recommended, vehicles (PC-only), and a progress rule you must respect — deposit items in a SAFE before leaving or you risk losing them. Friendly fire remains a constant.

Read Blood Lab as a mechanics gym and The Last Of Blox as the wider sandbox that reuses the social and combat lessons (see Players Hub and the dedicated bridge guide The Last Of Blox).

Spore zones — testing notes

Older titles and community references mention spore zones. In a hardcore lab, that usually means area denial: do not camp the glowing bad air, bring heals, and rotate before bandages run dry. Because this wiki refuses to invent patch notes, we document spores as a design theme to respect when present, not as a guaranteed permanent biome list. If you load in and see spore hazards:

1. Call the zone for your 4-stack.
2. Do not FF-spray through foggy silhouettes.
3. Budget bandages before a second crossing.
4. Note whether the hazard still exists after a studio update — then check this hub again later.\n5. Deepen tactics on the Spore Zones guide when the air is actually in your build.

How to track GetRich Studios going forward

1. Open the Roblox page for BloodLab Testing and check the Updated date.
2. Search Roblox groups for GetRich Studios and read shouts / wall posts.
3. Follow any linked Discord or socials the group publishes (never give passwords to “update bots”).
4. Watch The Last Of Blox description for cross-promo or shared systems.
5. Use this wiki’s Links Hub for canonical URLs and Codes Hub if a milestone gift ever appears.

We will extend this Updates Hub with dated entries when verifiable patch notes exist. Until then, the April→September 2024 window plus the Last Of Blox pointer is the accurate public story.

What updates mean for loadouts and scripts

• Weapon feel may shift — re-check the Tier List Hub after meaningful combat patches.
• Script peddlers will claim “updated bypass” after every stamp — ignore them; see Scripts Hub.
• Co-op etiquette does not patch out; FF culture stays relevant in Players Hub.

Nov 2026 status check\n\nAPI re-check in November 2026 still shows BloodLab Testing as a quiet hardcore lab: ~767 visits, last update stamp 2024-09-16, max players 4. The Last Of Blox remains listed as the related open-alpha place (17158476906) with its own quieter footprint and a 2024-06-05 update stamp on the last API pull. No new public promo codes surfaced for either place — keep using the Codes Hub empty-but-honest table. No verified GetRich-specific YouTube guides turned up worth embedding; we refuse to invent video IDs.\n\n## Related reading

Blood Lab’s update history is short on purpose. It is a lab notebook, not a decade-long MMO chronicle — and that is exactly why the timeline above stays tight and factual.
