Vehicle Improvements
Bicycles, dirtbikes, and snowmobiles have received upgrades to physics handling and their visuals, similar to those received by 4+ wheelers in the Carr Update! They're still somewhat janky, but it should be a step in the right direction.
Quality of Life
- Volume sliders for each type of audio replacing the on / off toggles!
- Rather than typing in a map's name in the server browser you can now pick which ones you want from a sub-menu, and filter for multiple maps at once!
- Expand and collapse the server browser quick filters panel to choose which filters you want shown! The full suite of filters is always accessible from the presets editor.
Online Safety
A reminder about online safety and quick access to several important settings is now shown before opening any of the multiplayer menus. Links to third-party sites are redirected through the Steam community link filter, and links to join Discord servers other than our official Discord server for Unturned are hidden in-game, but can still be linked from external pages.
These changes are intended both to increase safety for younger players, and to improve the first-time player experience. If you've had an unsafe experience as a minor we'd strongly encourage you to speak with a trusted adult like a parent, guardian, or teacher.
We'd like to take this opportunity to reinforce the importance of practicing online safety. You should never give out personal information like your password, address, phone number, age, or full name to people online. Considering that many gaming communities are hosted on Discord, you should be aware that they have their own rules for promoting safe and healthy environments, and inappropriate behavior can be reported to Discord's Trust & Safety team. Discord is in the best position to help with those reports. Here are some relevant resources:

Although we cannot directly help with inappropriate behavior outside of our official communities, if you feel there's something we should know or be aware of please contact us through our help center:
