No balance changes today guys, just a PS4 bug fix and a change to allow further balancing.

Regarding your question, I hope they are updating to nerf the characters known as chompers, by removing their instant kill aspects, and replace it with Heavy-Damage aspects
I saw on Reddit discussion thread that there is an upcoming balancing update. It was a response to a tweet question to Justine Wiebe.
Very likely that this maintenance down time is the balance update.

Well, I know it can be frustrating being goop by chomper, being spike weed by chomper, being swallowed by chomper. As someone who loves to eat, I sometimes get frustrated being eaten as well.
But what can you do? You just need to learn how to tame this wild and hungry "beast" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZEOqLkDeGQ
Only then you calm your heartbeat, keep your composure and apply your training to survive. I see some players apply it when I try to eat them and it works...but if he tries the same trick twice, I won't fooled again so zombies need to keep your eyes wide open, stay off the ground, and keep improvising.
You're right, this can be frustrating for the one being eaten but so satisfying for one eating , seeing the victim trying to escape but still got you !
You technically have to react super fast, and much earlier than what you think should be.
