• The first phase of the base building snapping system has been completed and included in this update
  
• It is recommended that all existing bases be rebuilt using the snapping system as some walls are likely to have been shifted due to required changes in some part sizes
  
• Additional snapping features will be added in future updates
  
• Freeform placement is still fully supported, so both snapping and freeform can now be used
  

• Foundations are now been added to the game
  
• There are currently two sizes of foundations you can use (4mx4mx4m and 2mx2mx4m)
  
• Both have more health than any other base parts, which means they are less likely to get targeted or destroyed during a raid making your base much stronger
  
• Their placement is restricted to terrain only and snap to each other
  
• A foundation can be placed in shallow water as long as the center of the foundation is above water (so, partially submerged)
  
• Foundations use rocks as a crafting material and can be upgraded to plated the same way you would upgrade other base parts
  

• Most of the plated tier base parts were reworked to facilitate placement with platforms and to give them a better look
  

• Most of the metal tier base parts were adjusted to work better with the snapping system
  
• Their sizes have been adjusted, as well as their look, to better differentiate them from the plated tier
  
• The health of the metal base parts was doubled making them extremely strong against explosives
  

• The draw bridge and drawbridge wall base part have been added
  
• Drawbridge placement is restricted to the drawbridge wall only
  
• If the drawbridge wall is removed while a drawbridge is snapped to it, the bridge will be removed
  

• AMD GPU users may experience increased performance (up to 50% more based on settings and map areas)
  
• Can convert an AT-12 shotgun into a Sawed-off AT-12 shotgun
  
• Airplane crashes should no longer occur in rivers
  
• Airplane drops will no longer happen in base building exclusion areas (cities primarily)
  
• Airplane crashes adjusted so they won't occur right at water edges
  
• Lots of optimizations to models and prefabs to help increase client fps
  

• Adjusted the cost to store Grenade in kiosk to 7 Amcoins
  
• Adjusted the cost to store Pipebomb in kiosk to 20 Amcoins
  
• Adjusted the cost to store C4 and C4 bricks in kiosk to 20 Amcoins
  

• Sawed-off AT-12 added (secondary weapon)
  
• Hacksaw added (drag onto an empty AT-12 shotgun to covert to sawed-off version)

• Decreased intensity of sewer pipe water sound effec
  

t

• Changed to and from prone transitions to stop head from being too far forward

• By default, the CTRL key will toggle between freeform and snapping placement
  

Note: Snap Base Building is still under development and will continue to be tested on the experimental server until it's ready to be released, so it isn't included in this update.

• A new world event has been added - at a random interval a small plane can crash on the island
  
• The plane explodes when it hits the ground, so if you are in the vicinity don't be too close
  
• Upon crashing the plane will release one crate and three backpacks
  
• The crate's contents are military themed and the backpacks are civilian themed
  
• The backpacks can be hard to find in the tall grass, so look around carefully for them
