Patch Notes 1.0 (For Map Wipe 6/11/26)

These patch notes are for the map wipe that is scheduled for 4pm eastern time on June 11, 2026:

1. Lowered scrap

   1. We felt as though there was a little bit too much scrap across the map. Some folks had 20,000+ scrap at the end of a one-week wipe cycle. Scrap has been slightly lowered across the loot pool.

2. Improved loot output on Supply Signal (air drop)

   1. Supply signals should feel fun to find and rewarding when they drop. We noticed too many supply signals were heavily weighted toward clothing items, especially winter jackets. We have lowered the chance of receiving clothing and increased the probability of some more valuable and rewarding items.

3. Lowered High Quality Metal Availability

   1. Similar to the scrap adjustments, we noticed too many players were able to fully upgrade their bases to high quality metal much faster than intended.

      This was mainly due to crates, supply signals, and other loot sources providing too much HQM. We have slightly reduced HQM availability to make it more valuable and harder to stockpile.

4. Added 30-minute cooldown to offline raid protection

   1. Offline Raid Protection now includes a 30-minute cooldown period after a player logs out before full protection activates. This change is intended to prevent abuse of the system. We do not want players to be able to avoid an active raid simply by logging out the moment they come under attack. For normal gameplay, this should have little to no impact. In most cases, other players will not immediately know when you have logged off, and by the time they discover your base, gather raid materials, and organize an attack, the protection window will have already expired. As with all server mechanics, we will continue to monitor this system closely and make adjustments if needed to ensure it remains fair and balanced for everyone.
      

As always, we welcome any comments, suggestions, or feedback from the community.
