Game Update 6/2

[u/LegionCM]

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

I would rather have some sandbags on top of my base than another pistol we break down for parts

I'm new to the game. What is this breaking down guns? What does it do, or what options do you have with crafted down parts? :)

[u/Quigleyer → u/Mollelarssonq]

You melt down guns by putting them in a lit furnace, they make metal bars which can then be crafted into metal sheets while in proximity of a work bench.

You can break down bullets while in proximity of a workbench, bullets=bullet components when you do this. 2 bullet components can make 1 of any other bullet (for example you can break down 2 .380 rounds into 2 bullet components, which would then make 1 shotgun shell, .223 round, etc.) while in the proximity of the workbench.

The shortwind answer of what I just typed above is 2 bullets can make 1 of any bullet.

Wooooooot. I thought all those .380 bullets i picked up were useles.

That changes everything! :D Thanks man.

You can also break down the guns themselves to make Gun Parts. Two of those make a Gun Repair Kit.

Edit for clarity: You have to put the gun in your discovery to find the recipe for Gun Parts. Then you can Dismantle the gun near a Workbench.

Another Edit because I'm bored: You get four Gun Parts from a Hunting Rifle, but you'll have to get a Green Camo Backpack first. You have to have room for it in your inventory before you can drag it to discovery. Last time I checked, you couldn't drag something that is equipped (or prox either) into Discovery.
