Happy Wednesday, Campers! Quite a significant quality of life change is coming soon to inventory & UI as well as our new Peaceful game mode! If everything continues to go well, Patch will go live this upcoming Monday! This is also a great time to say we'll be attending the Steam Summer Sale, at which we will be 30% off! Inventory system: All items in-game will only be 1x1 in size! Why are we doing this?

Players will be able to carry more items than ever
Performance & Optimization
PC & Controller QOL (Less scrolling)

All current loot boxes will change to a 1-4x7 size loot box, please see attached our image showing what isn't safe storage anymore. All items you may have within slots covered in RED are not safe. Please create more storage in your camp to fit all current loot. Following this change we are also reducing the sizes across all inventory components. (Backpacks, jackets, shorts, pants, pouches, quiver etc) We've been testing this internally and while it still is a significant change visually for us, we're very happy with how it's currently playing out. Please ask us any questions you might have! We will have another reminder coming before the patch goes live as well!
