• Several kiosks have been placed around the map in Amalgamated branded buildings
  
• Kiosks will allow players to store and retrieve items to/from their Steam inventory for the game
  
• To store and retrieve items it will cost amCoins - a new in-game currency which can only be found or looted as you play the game
  
• amCoins are like any other item you find and carry on your player, and can be looted from your corpse
  
• amCoins, and a few other specific items, cannot be stored in a kiosk
  
• The amCoin cost will vary depending on the item - weapons are more expensive to store and retrieve than rags, for example
  
• You may use the kiosk system to transfer items between servers - store them on one server, then retrieve them on another
  
• Only crafting guides and a few cosmetic items can be sold or traded on Steam - all other items cannot be sold/traded and are for your use only
  
• If an item is stackable, only a full stack can be stored in a kiosk - stack size is displayed in Steam
  
• Damaged items cannot be stored (you will be able to repair items in a future update)
  
• Only empty magazines can be stored in a kiosk - unload the ammunition first, then store the magazine and ammo separately
  
• There is a base building part kiosk that spawns in the world and can be dragged back to your base using some vehicles so the kiosk can be used there
  
• A kiosk placed in a base can only be used by clan members of the base it is in
  
• Only you can see your items stored in a kiosk, and multiple people can use a kiosk at the same time
  
• Items stored in a kiosk cannot be looted by other players

The game is now aware of the area a player is in and evaluates a shelter value (how much protection you receive from the area from weather)

The following types of areas are detected:
- Insides of houses and bases as well as areas partly inside
- Ocean, rivers and seas you can dive into
- Sewers, caves, cellars and bunkers
- Vehicles

The radstorm is deadly when you are not seeking shelter or have protective items equipped or consumed. Radiation areas are detectable with a Geiger counter or noticeable by a slightly blue glow. Stock up on anti-rad pills, anti-rad mushrooms or potassium-iodine pills before entering known radiation areas. You can check item details and differences in your inventory tooltips by hovering over them. Anti-rad pills, anti-rad mushrooms or potassium-iodine pills help against radiation. The environment protection effects scale with the health of the item, this can be checked in the UI

Other environmental stats on items include:
- Physical (Tornado, Collisions, Fall damage)
- Gas Smoke (Gas Grenades and areas)
- Blindness (Flashbang)
- Fire (Molotov, Fire areas)
- Explosions (Grenades, Exploding vehicles)
- Feet sharp (Punji traps)
- Ray radiations (very little protection against that even with full hazmat gear; only reduced in sheltered areas if the area isn't causing the effect itself)
- Additional to the environmental stats which apply to the player in general, body part protection stats exist which are also be output in the UI.
- For relevant protective types there is differentiation of what is causing it (e.g. ground based, rain based, gas based)
- Future work: Temperature, Acid, Electricity, Wetness/Humidity, Rain, Fire area revamp

Changed behaviour of radiation stats:
- Additional radiation received after 100% gets converted to damage
- Radiation slowly is healed (25% per hour), but only up to 40% of it
- Radiation reduces now up to 25% of your max health until cured
- While over 85% radiation you start to slowly lose health and can't heal until the radiation is cured first

Going underwater in the middle of a radiation storm protects against its negative effects
