September 28 Update

September 28, 2026

Guns are cheaper, Escape opens a new game menu, unboxing gets case battles and trade-ups, and the sewers fill up.

Cheaper guns: Every gun at the Gun Dealer and the Gun Shop costs about a third less.
Gun Shop: A tidier Buy button.

New game menu: Escape now opens a menu with your character, a player card, goals and event icons. The HUD tucks away behind it.
Leaving: The leave screen shows what you'd give up by going.
Settings: A full-screen, tabbed page with search. Trashmen can bind extra keys for unload and surge here.
Discord: The menu has a Discord card, and returning players get a welcome back.

Crates open in a window: Pick a crate and it opens in a full-window view, with item icons and a tab strip. Escape closes the open crate first.
Case battles: Take a seat, everyone opens the same crates, and the best haul takes every item.
Trade-up contracts: Trade ten kept pulls for one of the next rarity up.
Upgrader: Stake pulls on a dial for a shot at a pricier item.
Collections: Each crate has a collection to finish, with a free crate for completing one and rewards as you keep opening.
Best Pull board: Each player's rarest pull of the week.
Live drops: A strip of rare pulls, and nearby players' spins and pulls show above their heads.
Timed crates: Some crates only sell for a set window, with a countdown in the menu.
StatTrak: Some crate pulls come with a kill counter.
Loan crates: Free loan crates now drop from active paychecks and sewer kills.
Sounds: Buying a crate has its own sound.

Rotating board: One board cycles through every ladder, with a timer showing when it switches. Money is back, first in the rotation.
Earnings: Ranked on what you actually earned.
Best Pull: A new luck board for unboxing.

Kat Flower: Buy it from Kat with bits and use it to take a day off a pet upgrade.
Reforge Stones: Drag one onto a gun to give it a reforge. Guns keep their reforge in their name.
Hot Potato Book: Bram turns Potatoes into books that add a little damage to a gun.
Zombie drops: Zombies can drop Potatoes and Carrots.
George: A new buyer for spare pets, next to Kat and Zog. He has an overhead icon of a hand catching coins.
Cloud Nine: Vapes are ranked by what they do, and the Mega Vape joins at the top.

Bigger hordes: The sewers hold many more creatures, with more ranged kinds, and blackouts bring more out.
Elements: Fire, ice, electric, toxic and void versions of many creatures. They carry their element into the fight.
New creatures: The Pouncer, Strangler, Faker, Powderkeg, Bomber, Shaman, Witch, Bloater, Lich, Gloom, Marauder, Regenerator, Twins and Wraith.
Acid Tide: A new sewer event where the water burns for a while.
Antlion hive: A new hive in the lower sewers.
Elites: A Shielded elite, and Armoured elites wear a helmet you have to shoot off first.
Bestiary: Rebuilt as a hunter's journal. Every creature has its own card with where it lives, what it drops and how to fight it, plus rewards for each tier and a mark on new discoveries.
Slayer: Bram's menu is redone, showing your fee against your wallet, why a tier is locked and the boss rising. Slayer bosses and minibosses rise with a ritual and a blast. Your quest fails if you die.
Ammo: Most sewer kills give ammo straight into the gun in your hands.
Loot in combat: Loot you've earned goes into your inventory mid-fight.
Doors and props: Creatures can pound shut doors and break props that block them.
Smarter creatures: They chase and climb better.

Sewer tickets: Sewer jobs pay more, and each repair has its own game: dig, torque or wire code.
Shift total: The payslip ends with your shift total, and a rare find can pay out a cash bonus.

Discord in game: Discord messages show in game chat with the sender's avatar, rank and team colour, and replies work both ways.
Overhead chat: Speech now shows above players' heads.

Joining: Pizza, vending machines, the factory and spawn portals load bit by bit instead of all at once.
Menus: New icons load without a stutter.
HUD: Door info, titles, bounties and avatars do less work.
Frames: Smoother frames around keypads, text screens, vaults, billboards, nametags, the bitminers and spawn portals.
Sound: The toolgun and gravity gun are quieter, and sewer sounds stay in the sewers.
