Screenshot Contest
It's been a while since the last Screenshot Contest–and with some of the graphical changes over the years, it definitely shows!
Welcome to the 2025 Screenshot Contest. From scenic views to action scenes—capture your cinematic screenshot(s) and submit them here:
Submission Form
Winning submissions may be featured as loading screens, on the store page, or in other locations. As a reward, winners will receive the Mythical Shutterbug Screenshot Contest Sweater and Mythical Shutterbug Instant Camera cosmetics. Submissions are open until April 15th!
Find the complete submission guidelines on the Submission Form. Get creative, and good luck! [hr] EDIT: Submissions have closed! We're happy to see so many participants – with nearly 1,800 submissions!
Now – we're beginning to review the submissions. This process will take some time. Stay tuned for a future game update which will include many of the winning submissions. We're also looking to include some winning submissions out-of-game (such as on the game's store page) in the future as well!
Once we've reviewed all submissions, we will begin distributing the Screenshot Contest Sweater and Instant Camera (Shutterbug) cosmetics to any winning participants. Those items can take up to 72 hours (after we've begun distribution) to arrive in your inventory. You should automatically receive a Steam notification once the item has arrived in your Steam inventory.
Thank you for participating! :)
Changelog
Balance Tweaks
All vanilla magazines can be salvaged.
Increased player movement air strafing acceleration.
Quality of Life
Added a separate keybind [Left Shift] for skipping item context menu action crafting menu.
Added a HUD element when outbound voice chat is turned off (optional). Helpful if multiplayer safety menu was skipped.
Prevent quick-salvaging mythicals or items with kill counters or ragdoll effects. This should help reduce cases of accidentally deleting valuable items, but we can still assist through our support site when/if it happens.
Ping display now shows Steam Networking Sockets client transport calculated ping. This is more accurate than the (now fallback) ping calculation.
Anti-Cheat
Show a disconnect message for HWID spoofer ban. (Previously a "shadowban.")
Removed once-per-input-frame limit on server-side line-of-sight checks. This better protects against bullet hit spoofing at the cost of higher server CPU usage.
Increased server hit validation leniency against players in vehicles. Reduces false negatives when shooting fighter jet pilots.
Servers
Added warning on loading screen when game connection ping is higher than in server browser.
Changed default admin commands Internet server list filter to Any rather than No.
Servers with a GSLT can be bookmarked without setting "bookmark host." This makes it easier to reconnect to private servers.
Clarified anycast proxy is often used for DDoS protection in warning.
Added an option for server host to indicate an anycast A2S proxy is in use. When manually indicated the ping warning isn't red.
Server Curation
Added support for built-in "recommended" curators. This will allow us to convert some of our moderation lists to the newer curation feature.
Added server curation option for default action: Show, hide, or move to bottom.
Curation list shows web list dat parsing errors.
Entering a workshop file URL in server curation field subscribes to it.
Modding
Added NPC Vendor options to override item descriptions.
Added Destructible object option to alert nearby zombies.
Added animal option to prevent move during startle animation.
Added support for traps requiring power to deal damage.
Added gun option to require aiming to shoot.
Added gun default magazine support for spawn tables allowing paintball guns to spawn with
