September 29 Update

September 29, 2026

Chat, quests and your wardrobe are rebuilt, hit numbers are clearer, and the Deep Sea Diver now has a fight on its hands.

Chat tabs: Each tab shows its own lines with unread counts, and the tab you're on picks the channel you type in. Local is the default tab and shows everything.
Typing shortcuts: Type // or /y and the chat box switches to that channel for the message.
Private messages: They get their own PM tab.
Colour: Money shows as green figures (red for losses), and times, XP, levels and counts get their own colours.
Emoji: Typed smileys turn into emoji, and Enter takes an open suggestion.
Player card: Click a name to see their rank and level.
Laws: Each new law is announced in chat with its text.

Laws panel: It only shows when a law changes, or when you press F6. The playtime panel is gone.
XP and levels: XP gains show beside your crosshair and level-ups pop as an emblem over it.
Wanted: Stars only show while you're wanted, and other players see a steady tag over your head.
Gang districts: The district shows as a name in the world with a thin capture bar.
Quest tracker: Redesigned, with objective markers.
Hit numbers: Each hit pops a number with a running total beside the target. Headshots crit, kills get a skull and your pet's hits get a paw.
Loot pickups: Bursts of loot are told in one line.
Screen effects: Spores fog your sight instead of covering it, and stuns dazzle you instead of flashing white.

Job board: The quests menu is rebuilt as a job board, with the payout as the headline figure.
Chains: A searchable quest log shows every chain in one place.

Locker: The wardrobe is now a full-screen locker with a studio view, a camera that moves to each slot, and your selected pet on a card.
Pets: Summon a pet by dropping it in the pet slot.

NPC shops: The shop menu has a new look, names the shopkeeper in its header and keeps items you can't afford in colour.
George: Buys a Common Zombie Torso for £5,000, and you can convert a pet back to an item for him.
Cash sound: Every buy and sell plays the cash register.

Stack: Stack an inventory, or quick stack into a container, in one go.
Split: Every stack now offers Split.
Guns: A picked-up gun with lives stays in your inventory.
Sort: Sort leaves locked items where they are.
Item card: A new look for the item hover card, with a labelled grade and a clearer footer.

Scuba gear: One worn item, upgraded at the Artifact Buyer, which has its own menu with art.
Air: It drains faster the deeper you go and when creatures hit you, and drowning is a slow blackout.
The ocean fights back: Sea creatures now swim the ocean, and wrecks hide chests.

Hollow: He now clears a void around himself that keeps the infected out for a moment.
Slayer bosses: They rise with a ritual, minibosses with a blast, and the Revenant spits more headcrabs.
Antlion hive: A new hive in the lower sewers.
Lightsabers: Sewer creatures are immune to the lightsaber and its Force powers.
Shooting: You can shoot any part of a creature from any side, and big creatures can be hit in the head.
Props: Creatures knock your prop down for a minute instead of deleting it.
Strangler: Its tongue can be shot.

Chatbox: Taller by default, and suggestions stay off the PM list.
Chat: Fixed chat lines disappearing when the chat reloads.
Pets: A failed pet summon no longer eats the request.
AFK: The early AFK warnings take longer to appear and hide while a menu is open.
Sewers: Fixed creatures healing from shots by a player right next to them, and sounds that looped forever.
Diving: Fixed sea creatures getting stuck inside each other and a leech snapping back off its diver.
Scuba tank: Sits on the wearer's back.
