0.998.19 Released
Hello Survivors!

Today I would like to announce a brand new DLC pack for Nomad, The Variety Skin Pack. This DLC contains 10 new skins for you to flex with inside of the game. Simply change your skin in the customize tab in the main menu.
Buy it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/508800/

Meet Rachael, the free items NPC. Rachael is located at the Safe Zone and when you interact with her, she will give you free items.
You can claim 1 to 4 items every 12 hours.

Nomad turns 5 years old this month, Happy Birthday Nomad. We've come so far from the first release and we're super close to final 1.0 release.
Watch the firework display over the Safe Zone in celebration of Nomad Month.
Just like it's bigger counter part, the Riot Shield. The Iron Mask will negate bullets to the head but provides 0% armor. Find the mask in police, industrial or military areas.

More quests have been added. Quest rewards from previous quests have been rebalanced.
