Tomorrow at 11:00AM CET / 2:00AM PST, we will begin the release of version 1.1!

⚠️Warning:
During the patch deployment, servers may be temporarily unavailable. Game client update is required

This festive update begins our seasonal holiday event, while also bringing some important balance changes into the game (without a wipe). Our safezones have been decorated for the holidays, and seasonal weapon skins have been added back into the loot pool! You will be able to find some new seasonal items this year inside of various loot boxes, like decorations for your base, or a sweet treat.

We have made many changes to base building, and other areas of the game based on your feedback. Thank you to everyone who participated during public testing! Check out the patch notes to see what has changed:

• Added holiday weapon skins into loot pools
  
• Added Christmas/New Years decorations and new seasonal items! Check out the Kamensk town square to find gifts under the tree!
  
• Added seasonal items into lootable road bags

• New “Scheduled Raid” option; raiding is only enabled at specific times during the day. Can be configured on community servers. A few official servers will be deployed with this setting shortly after the update is released.

• Slowed down the decay rate of Plank and Metal base structures

• Notifications will now appear showing why a structure cannot be placed when building
  
• Added new dynamite and explosive spawners into road bags and trunks
  
• Increased base auto-turret HP from 100 to 500, and shotgun trap HP from 100 to 250. (Turrets you have already built will require repair to reach the new HP)
