changedFirearmsFor the first time, firearms are being tested inside Rooted. The M4A1 and the Glock are now in the hands of our Alpha players as we prepare the foundation for future hunting systems coming early next year. This first pass already includes improved player animations and more natural weapon handling. Additional weapons and full attachment support are planned for later updates.
addedFirearmsTo help testers get familiar with these new tools, a dedicated training range has been placed next to the Mansion so they can practice recoil, accuracy, and weapon behavior before venturing into the wilderness.
changedCheat MenuA temporary Cheat Menu is available in the Alpha to help testers explore the current content more quickly. It allows fast travel, vehicle use, and item spawning so they can cover more ground and provide faster feedback while we continue building the world. This tool will disappear once the major systems such as animals, hunting, fishing, gardening, and dynamic weather are implemented.

We’ll keep sharing the evolution of the Alpha as it grows toward the full experience.

Thanks for following Rooted’s development!
