Hello Survivors,
We have a new, major update for you guys, reintroducing two weapons alongside many fixes.
Most important are improvements to our backup system, which should help a great deal with the existing persistence issues.
Today's update will also enable the Experimental branch for the Server Files. We will have additional communication on the changes this brings shortly.
Please verify your game files before playing the new update, and report all bugs you encounter to https://feedback.bistudio.com/, please.
