A WHOLE NEW VIEW. No more top-down: a third-person camera on foot and in the car, free mouse look, aiming through the centre of the screen and a new hood cam.
MEET GRANDPA. The long road now has an ending at km 1000 — cross Grandpa's bridge through the zombie waves and find out what waits for you.
THREE NEW TOWNS. NEW CREEPS with a quarter-mile drag strip and a dyno, LOST WAGES with casinos, roulette, slot machines and a pawn shop, and TOWN OF TASTE, where you can buy your own house.
JOBS. Earl hands out salvage jobs through the new JOBS app on your phone.
FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT with radial menu, weapon wheel and Steam Deck layout. Bonus: you can also drive with a steering wheel, force feedback included.
MORE CAR FUN. A new car (Tennis 4), launch control and pops & bangs, kickdown, and engines that drown in deep water.
FASTER. Rendering now uses a second CPU core and parked cars sleep.
New camera and controls. Press V to cycle four distances (the fourth is the hood cam), C to look back. Left click uses and picks up, F opens the workshop and trunk on the yellow markers.
Grandpa's ending at km 1000 with its own fight song and the credits, plus a military checkpoint at km 1010 where weapons stay at the gate.
NEW CREEPS (km 100), LOST WAGES (km 200), TOWN OF TASTE (km 1030) — drag racing with timing, casino games, a pawn shop that buys your loot, and a house you can furnish.
Launch control and pops & bangs in the ECU tool: hold the brake, floor it, launch at your set rpm — with afterfire.
Engine crane: strip and build engines without a car.
Drift Training in the garage: solo on the standard track, switch cars any time, everything maxed.
A fresh start at a gas station at km 1, and the first stretch of road is zombie-free.
5 new radio songs — 30 on the dial.
Also in this update: a reworked tutorial, a sound overhaul, fewer zombies, a bigger backpack, teleport prices by distance, tuning shops in more towns, a log switch for bug reports (Settings › GAMEPLAY, off by default) — and lots of small fixes, like invisible cars after a teleport, tyres bursting after a teleport, cars floating on the lift, co-op joining, and many more. Saves keep working. Loot and the world beyond km 980 changed, so crates, trunks and wrecks roll new contents. Co-op needs the same version on every PC.
