News Game Update 6/2

Servers will be coming down at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific time for the regular two hours. A few things didn't make it into this patch that were on the Roadmap and those things will get pushed to later in the month.

Patch Notes:

  • The Magnum and .44 Magnum ammo can now be found in the game along with Battle

Royale and Hardcore Battle Royale. Added a recipe to create Magnum ammo and the ability

to melt it down in the furnace.

EDIT: Known issue - Magnum ammo not spawning in Battle Royale

  • Tear gas grenades are now available. When thrown they will create a cloud of gas that will

obscure vision, cause coughing, and do a small amount of damage. If you are wearing a full

face respirator the gas will not affect you.

  • Large structure can now be picked back up

  • Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

  • There is now a key binding set for “Walking”

  • Hardcore BR spawning is more distributed

  • Zombie vision/night vision effects are cleared when leaving servers

  • Dew collectors will now automatically fill up to five bottles of water at the same time

  • The crossbow will no longer automatically reload in ironsights. To begin automatically

reloading release ironsights. As a result of this change, you will no longer get stuck in

crossbow ironsights.

  • Drinking coffee will return an empty bottle to your inventory
  • Repair Kits will now properly repair all weapons

•Abandoned bases with nothing on them will expire after an hour

One of the best additions ever, might stop the place getting so cluttered.

Its a good start. But now we'll just see abandon bases with just a gate on them. On PvP you could blow up the gate and the base would despawn an hour after that, but nothing could be done in PvE.

Just put a storage box and there u have it.

Maybe that won't stop it, maybe only walls and structures will, they have not specified.

Even then, it's trivial to remove storage boxes (outside of PVE).
