Wild Growth Update & Server Wipe

Hello everyone! Today, April 16th, 2026, we are rolling out the "Wild Growth" update alongside a global official server wipe at 09:00 AM UTC. This is a big update that brings new areas, a major engine upgrade, and significant gameplay additions.

New Area: Teijo

  • Access the brand-new Swamp island by taking a boat located near Sgt. Lake.
  • The Swamp is a high-risk, PVP-focused environment filled with unique resources and enemies.
  • Tents cannot be placed in the swamp area, maintaining its eerie and empty atmosphere
  • Navigate the bogs using "Pitkospuut" (duckboards) to discover rare items like Water Lilies and Bog Flowers.

Farming & POI Locations


New areas

  • New farming-themed POIs have been added to the map.
  • Cows: These animals gain size over time and can be milked with an Empty Bucket.
  • Sheep & Lambs: These animals grow wool that can be harvested using Scissors.

New Minigames at Sgt. Lake’s Activity Park

  • Added Gun Game: Secure kills to instantly receive a new weapon.
  • Added Team Deathmatch: Standard team-based combat mode.
  • Activity Voting: Players can now vote to decide which minigame will be played next.

New Equipment and Utility

  • Teleport Gate: Connect two points instantly.
  • Sleeping Bag: A placeable respawn point that is consumed upon use.
  • Storage Wagon: A draggable chest for transporting large amounts of loot.
  • Ghost Backpack: A bag with ghostly expanded storage space.

Advanced Bow Combat

  • Fire Arrows: Ignites players and structures, dealing damage over time.
  • Poison Arrows: Crafted from swamp mushrooms to deal damage over time.
  • Paralyse Arrows: Uses rare mushroom effects to slow or stop enemy movement.
  • High-Velocity Arrows: Features faster flight speeds for tracking moving targets.

Other New Items

  • Swamp Flora: Discover the rare Bog Flower and Water Lily.
  • New Mushrooms: Honey Mushrooms (Damage Reduction), King Stropharia (Swimming Energy), Oyster Mushrooms (Health Regen), and the legendary Viper's Mane (Stun effect) have been added with unique buffs.
  • Harvestable Crops: Corn and Tomatoes are now available to harvest and use as essential cooking staples.
  • Eel: A rare, "angry" new catch that provides a significant running speed buff when consumed.
  • Added new firearms: The Combat Pistol, Combat Rifle, and Heavy Machine Gun
  • Tactical Grenades: Smoke Grenades for retreats and Electro Grenades for stunning targets and enabling you to damage ghosts.
  • Farm Staples: Cow Milk (Neutralize buff), Eggs, Beef, and Lamb Meat can now be gathered and used in advanced recipes.
  • Expanded Cookbook: New high-energy meals include Spicy Beef Chili, Lamb Stew, Beef & Cabbage Skillet, Farmer’s Omelette, Creamy Tomato Soup, Sweet Corn Pudding, and Corn Salsa & Catch.

Weapon Balance Changes

  • Submachine Gun: Base damage reduced by 20%; scatter increased by 25%.
  • Auto Shotgun: Fire rate reduced by 20%; bullets per shot reduced by ~17%.
  • Full Auto Pistol: Base damage reduced by ~22%.
  • Modern Rifle: Projectile scatter increased by 25%.
  • Shotgun: Fire rate increased by ~29%.
  • Semi-Automatic: Fire rate increased by ~23%.
  • Assault Rifle: Base damage increased by 10%.

Other

  • Pets can now be correctly equipped when using languages other than English.
  • Implemented multiple new dupe prevention measures, including fixes for trade-based duplication.
  • Arttu's Black Market has moved to the Swamp area

Server Updates & Consolidation

  • We have decided to close several monthly wipe servers due to low player numbers and overall unpopularity.
  • Specifically, the KR 5 server will be officially closed starting with this update.
  • By reducing server capacity, we aim to consolidate our community into more active servers rather than having players spread across multiple half-empty ones.
  • Don't worry—if the playerbase grows and demand for more capacity returns, we will reopen these servers for each region.

Engine Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.7

  • The game has been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7.
  • This upgrade is vital for future console compatibility and cross-platform support.
  • This version provides performance improvements, specifically regarding the Chaos physics engine.

Thank you for your patience and support! Enjoy the Wild Growth update.
