    • You can now travel quickly between safe zones while carrying your equipment;
    • Added new locations and interactive NPCs in the safe zones;
    • Dog tags are back as currency for fast travel. Can seldom be found in hidden stashes (5% chance) or obtained by completing missions:

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Axe and knife attacks do not cause damage to low objects (respawn beacon);
  • Items do not stack in a partially occupied hot bar upon pressing Shift+LMB;
  • The “Take all” button does not equip items from the ground into the hot bar;
  • Fixed numerous graphical bugs and collisions.

Bug reports are especially important at the testing stage as they allow us to make necessary changes quickly. Leave feedback in the Test server section on the Deadside Steam Steam forums or in the #feedback-pts channel of our Discord server.
