Patch 8.55



Hey Survivors!

Tonight, one of our main server providers is performing maintenance, which is estimated to take a maximum of 4 hours.
During this time, all of our servers will be offline. We will use this opportunity to roll out a patch to remove the Valentine theme, along with some bug fixes and changes.


  • Removed the Vault NPC from the Arena map for security reasons.
  • You will no longer be able to pick up stacks of items that are not stackable in your backpack, such as weapons, skinboxes, etc. Instead, you will pick them up one by one.
  • Changed the Lounge to a summer theme.
  • Removed Valentine content; for example, contracts will no longer grant the skinbox. This means the Valentine 2025 skinbox is now considered legacy.
  • Removed finger rewards from the Halloween 2024 contracts and the game.

Item rewards have been removed from previous contracts, but you can still complete them to earn XP and currency. These themed contracts are designed to be played and progressed during the event.

We are currently investigating an issue with the flea market feature and have had to disable the GC currency, meaning you won't be able to create new offers using GC.

We hope the maintenance doesn’t take the full 4 hours, but unfortunately, it's out of our hands.
