Reminders about ComboCrate 2024, the Steam Scream Fest sale, and showcasing a variety of community-created content. Video: "I made Unturned 10X harder!" Is Unturned too easy? Watch as Max Winterfield cranks up the difficulty to make zombies stronger, bosses more frequent, loot harder to come by, and more in his struggle to survive.

The Animated Sushi Mod by Axodouble just adds one piece of sushi, with a satisfying eating animation. Exactly as advertised on the box.

3.24.6.0 Update Notes

by SDGNelson

Gameplay Adjustments {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/3e32e853a2eca96022882eb4cb986c4c2e980a21.png Despite sparking controversy on the preview branch, we've removed the Maplestrike's grip attachment slot. We're curious to see whether this is a net positive for the meta once it's had a chance to play out, so please bear in mind we're open to feedback and nothing's set in stone. Is there more variety in combat encounters, and is that more fun? Can you Maplestrike Enjoyers out there maintain dominance? A few other balance changes are detailed in the changelog. Of particular note, quality of life additions to the Coalition questlines on the Russia map, including the ability to requisition airplanes and helicopters after achieving Major Rank and finishing Pilot Andy's quests.

Calling all modders! – ComboCrate 2024 Workshop Event

by MoltonMontro

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/2258bb70503868a3f678318e179d93529daa39ba.png We're quickly approaching the next couple of curated map releases! Since there's been much interest in accepting more community-contributed skins outside of new maps, we're looking to release a multi-contributor workshop box somewhere in-between. Tentatively, sometime between December and early-2025. Craftable & Purchasable Boxes We wanted to do something a bit different, which we're calling the ComboCrate 2024 Event. For this event, we want to release two different Workshop boxes. One craftable (similar to the 10th Anniversary items), and one purchasable from the Stockpile item store. Since only the purchasable box (and its equivalent bundle) would offer a revenue split, creators should include a minimum of two items as part of each submission – that's one for each box! Guidelines We’re looking to accept 14–18 items per box. These items should be uploaded to the Steam Workshop, and follow our Submission Guidelines...

Hello! Vehicle Improvements {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b7827063ced68c2c565138b9b32bbf5a257f5aef.png Bicycles, dirtbikes, and snowmobiles have received upgrades to physics handling and their visuals, similar to those received by 4+ wheelers in the Carr Update! They're still somewhat janky, but it should be a step in the right direction. Quality of Life {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/c51363f14a05dac7530cbd72a2a659317f4e79d1.png Volume sliders for each type of audio replacing the on / off toggles!

Unturned's 10th Anniversary

by SDGNelson

Today, we celebrate ten years of Unturned on Steam! If you'd like to read a long-winded rambling blog post from the overly nostalgic developer, you may enjoy: Reflecting on 10 Years of Unturned Event Content The main menu is decorated with a harkening back to the 2.0 era. And, for the first time, we're releasing a craftable mystery box, or, more accurately, mystery... tophat? Reach in and draw a random item from the hat! Its design pays homage to the company's early hat-themed logos (I named SDG when I was around 12-13 and unfortunately don't recall quite what I was thinking). The hat contains a variety of classic items from Unturned 2.2.5. It's similar to the original Anniversary Gift Bag, but freely craftable rather than a playtime drop in our continued opposition against bot farms. For the next two weeks, as part of the anniversary event, you can craft it from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b956540fbc189bbd54b231d2b92f82936752eabc.png Credit and ...

A Carr Update

by SDGNelson

Ahoy there me hearty! What, why is this update vaguely pirate-themed? Because it's fun to say "car" with an extra 'r', that's why! I left my offroader parked in the Pirate Cove for 5 minutes and some scallywag vandalized it with magenta paint. As a navy man, that is, a man who likes the color navy (not to be confused with a pirate's enemy, the navy), it was a clear choice how to restore ol' reliable: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/fe58e570ed865946e629d443e68e85842dcd3968.png Oh right, the update! Well, vehicles with 4+ wheels - like cars and trucks - should behave a fair bit more reasonably now! With new suspension and a somewhat more realistic engine system they handle much better, though this is hard to show with a picture so here's me kicking up sand on the beach: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/97152e78c81df6d340ce4ed6a999f1801343aeeb.png It's hopefully worth giving them a try in-game! Note, however, that two-wheeler vehicles like bikes and snowmobiles are still rather questionable (to say ...

Edit: Released a .2 patch to fix an exception related to effect cleanup. My apologies for any inconvenience! I'm still not actually sure *why* this exception arose after the .1 patch rather than the 3.24.3.0 update, so if you ran into it in .1 and know why I'd love to hear about it.

by SDGNelson

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b92bc7be263966c3953578996a27218b5f4fe72e.png Welcome to Escalation Featuring a myriad of new gameplay mechanics, systems, unique items, and more, Escalation raises the bar for Unturned. Escalation's arsenal is designed to feel great between immersive animations, precise attention to detail, and high-quality sound design. A great deal of focus went into weapon balance to ensure that each gunfight feels fair. You may come across certain objects that can be shot or blown up. When set off, these objects can cause considerable harm to any unfortunate souls caught in their wake. Strike Calls are powerful, single-use offensive weapons. They can be utilized with the assistance of an LTLM (Laser Target Locator Module) to cause considerable damage at a targeted location. Base building is designed to be easy to understand but also has a great depth of functionality and detailing. Complex structures are available to those who choose to make them. A variety of decorations...
