Weekend Roundup, 11/7


Hey, squaddies!

We’re glad to see so many of you survived the zombie onslaught last weekend! Unless… you aren’t, uh, undead, are you? Fortunately for us, squaddies like to use their brains, not eat ’em.

By the way, don’t forget you can still play both SquadZ and Space Crew in your custom browser right now. It’ll give you something to tide you over while waiting for this weekend’s events:

Weekend Roundup: Spooky Mods and More!

Hey soldiers!



We’re shambling ahead to a pretty solid event of Squad goodness, but with a few additional treats. You, of course, already know Squad is on sale (tip your squad leaders), but we’ll be showcasing Space Crew and SquadZ all weekend! Straight from the community, both modes ramp up the tension just right for the Halloween season. Snag the mods then simply look for them featured in the server browser!

SquadZ has just been updated with a little Halloween flair and Space Crew has massively expanded their space station map — there’s no better time to die tired!



If you’d like to know more about modding or these mods in particular, feel free to join the Modding Hub Discord. It’s a great place to meet fellow modders or get your first steps on the road to making the next killer game.
