This patch introduces the Mortar, a high-impact addition that will likely change how players approach both online raids and compound defense. Alongside this heavy artillery, the Tin Can Alarm is receiving a much-needed update to improve its utility for solo players and small groups looking to secure their perimeter against unwanted visitors.
For those who prefer the quiet life at sea, be warned: Facepunch is implementing a Deep Sea Loot nerf. While the ocean has been a relatively safe haven for high-tier scrap and component farming, these changes suggest a push to bring players back toward more contested land monuments. To compensate for the loot adjustments, a new Workbench Refresh and UI updates for Vending Machines are being rolled out to streamline the crafting and trading experience.
The update also brings fresh content for completionists and maritime enthusiasts, including:
- New Naval Achievements for seafaring survivors
- New boat equipment available at the Deep Sea Boat Vendor
- A complete UI overhaul for Vending Machine interfaces
- A Workbench tech tree refresh
Whether you're planning a massive siege with the new Mortars or just trying to keep your humble 2x2 safe with improved alarms, this update looks to reinforce the high-stakes survival loop that defines the game. Prepare your resources now—Thursday's wipe is going to be a loud one.
