Deadside News

Attention, friends!

We’re finishing the last preparations for the upcoming release of the update 0.1.7, which will have a huge impact on the mechanics of interaction with bases.
Now you can equip your bases doors with a code lock. Ordinary doors, which are available for opening only to base owner, will be accessible for usage to any player, no matter if he’s the base owner or not. You can use them however you want.

Because of these changes in doors mechanics we’re forced to wipe bases, in order to not leave them unprotected for an unknown period of time after the update release. Wipe will also affect characters and their storages because some abilities to duplicate items were still there. These methods will not work after the update release.
We hope for your understanding.

The update is scheduled to be released on June 25.

There are 2 things human can watch forever: fire burning and other people trying to figure out the code to your lock.

Dear friends, you asked us to improve the interaction between squads and bases and we did it – the next update will bring you the ability to create a new type of door that has a combination lock.
You can set a code of any length you want! Your fantasy is limited only by 10 numeric characters.
The base owner can change the code anytime.

And to help you feel the ambience of nights and evenings you can now sit by the fire accompanied by your friends. The Fire lives only limited amount of time and can be put out any moment.
