[h3]The time has arrived for H3's brand of Holiday Cheer, our 5th Annual Meatmas Holiday Event![/h3]

This year, we decided to pull out all the stops, and have expanded our prior Advent Calendar tradition to a narrative Sandbox scene that will evolve and grow over the month of December. You should expect New Content, New Enemies, New Messages, Adjustments, Bug Fixes and Surprises throughout the month, as well as new Areas of the Map opening up.

To best juggle the needs of folks who want to enjoy daily Meatmas content, and folks who don't want tons of downloads, or have metered internet, this year we are doing our Daily Meatmas Content on a beta branch called MEATMAS2020. If you switch to it, you will get a new download every day at 12:05am Pacific Time. If you stay on the main branch of the game, you'll get one big weekly update each Friday at the normal time, which will have all the content from the prior week's daily drops.

So if you don't mind the daily downloads, switch to the MEATMAS2020 beta branch and make sure to check back each day, hunt for another bunker, shoot some JUNKBOTS, and sift through the remnants of the final days of the North Pole!

TO PLAY MEATMAS 2020 NOW:

• Right click H3 in Steam
  
• Go to Properties
  
• Click Betas
  
• Click The Dropdown
  
• Select Meatmas2020!
  

A reminder: Lots of folks won't be able to play immediately, or until the Holidays, so PLEASE do not post spoilers to the forum here, or the reddit. If you have a bug or a question about Meatmas content, put [SPOLIERS] in the title of the post, and ensure the actual post title is phrased generally enough to not spoil anything. Any posts that violate this will be deleted. Lets try to make this the best Meatmas possible for everyone involved!

Anywho, it's time to dive in. We can't wait to see what you folks think, especially as this scene evolves over the month.

All of us here at RUST LTD. hope y'all have a WONDERFUL holiday season, starting today.

Cheers,
Anton

Meatmas is aaaalmost upon us, and so this week’s release is all about making sure all the recent Alpha changes have been finished up (best as we’ve been able) and moved onto the main branch. We’re going to be beginning the Meatmas Festivities just after midnight on Dec 1st, pacific time (there’ll be another announcement then with the full details and schedule). I hope you folks are as excited as I am!

While the Streamlined controls will continue to get tweaks and improvements, I feel they’re ready for showtime, and I thoroughly encourage anyone with Rift, Quest, Index or G2 controllers to give the mode a shot!

If you’re using streamlined controls, please continue to let me know what you think, especially if there are still lingering issues (think I caught all the bugs this time around). If you do find issues, please file bug reports in the Steam Forum bug reports section here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/450540/discussions/1/

Hope y'all have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Peace,
Anton
