Gameplay Adjustments
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.
Halloween 2024
Alongside our traditional Halloween content, we'll have a new craftable mystery box - the Halloween Candy Bag - courtesy of Toothy Deerryte and friends! The event will run from October 20th through November 1st, during which time you can craft them from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting.
Trees and Skybox Ambience Removals
Two more controversial changes, sorry!
Although the speedtree models looked nicer than the old ones, they were overly detailed compared with the rest of the vanilla art style. We've decided to stop putting it off and remove them along with the tree models graphics option. Other reasons included:
Their trunk shape wasn't quite 1:1 with the old models, so whether a player was seen as in or out of cover was inconsistent depending on graphics settings.
They're much more performance intensive.
Curated maps released after 2018 haven't included speedtree models.
Some players changed up the lighting in a dramatic and cinematic way with the relatively niche "Use_Skybox_Ambience" option in a config file. Unfortunately, the differences were a double-edged sword because they limited level designers' ability to control the lighting, for example to experiment with pure-black nights. We've decided to remove the option, but similar lighting can still be configured in the level editor by matching ambient lighting to the sky color, so it's up to the creative vision of the level creator. Here's a post showcasing the difference with and without the option:

Item Price Consistency
On November 5th we're going to be adjusting the Stockpile prices to all be consistent. For the past two years or so all new regular items have been a consistent $1.50 USD per item. This primarily affects older items, where pricing and bundle sizes were less consistent. For some items, this is an increase. While for others, it's a decrease. Please keep this in mind if you were considering any item purchases in the near future! Beyond this, we don't intend to mess with the base item price again.
EDIT: This was originally planned for November 1st, but has been pushed back to November 5th instead due to the ongoing Steam Scream Fest sale.
