Unturned

 
Community Blog #037Apr 30, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWorkstations arrive in our next game update. Until then – grab your umbrella, and enjoy some community-made mods, screenshots, and more! Introducing Workstations Our next major update for Unturned is introducing workstations. As we're approaching this update's release, we want to share more information about how they work and why we're making this change to item crafting. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/543e593be4690c9487862adc59bfc20bdd2572d4.png These new workstations were modelled by Dogfood. You may know them as the experienced modder behind content like the More Farming Mod! When we reached out to them about collaborating, helping us with this update was at the top of our list. Crafting has always been quite simple, but we know players are interested in some additional depth. Workstations introduce another progression step and encourage building a base. This was also a good opportunity for us to make several improvements to the Crafting UI. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/0ca655b402f548a4737553b0592245c996bfddcf.png Craft and place a workstation, such as the Simple Workbench or Brick Oven, to gain access to additional crafting recipes while nearby. Use the redesigned Crafting UI to find the recipe you're looking for. In a recent survey, we collected your feedback on workstations. While most participants expressed excitement, we know this is a big change. Survey feedback also showed players were less interested in certain recipes needing a workstation, with the least interest in: Structures (avg. ~3.1 rating out of 5) Salvaging items (avg. ~2.9 rating out of 5) Barricades (avg. ~2.8 rating out of 5) Low-end medicine (avg. ~1.7 rating out of 5) With next update, some items will still be craftable without a workstation. For example, our current internal build lets players craft wooden structures and barricades, salvage items, and create some other basic items (like Rags, Bandages, Splints, or Bedrolls) from anywhere. Depending on future feedback, we are interested in either tying more recipes to workstations, or allowing more items to be crafted without one. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b9920e3c9f8c44147f912f3bf4d326372b464edd.png Surprisingly, survey feedback indicated many players supported the idea of Item Repairing requiring a workstation. As part of next update, you will need to use a Simple Workbench to repair most items, in addition to still needing tools or other ingredients like a Blowtorch and Metal Scrap. You can expect several workstations, a redesigned Crafting UI, new loading screens from our recent Screenshot Contest, several performance improvements, and a few other gameplay tweaks in the next update. We're looking forward to continuing this trend by introducing more new items, using survey feedback for some balance changes, and of course tweaking workstations/recipes further – in the future. We truly hope players will enjoy our next couple major updates, and we can't wait to see how modders will utilize some of the features we've been work...3.25.4.0 Update NotesApr 3, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsStacks of Crafting Supplies {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/7b124f06d1d3b3aa75e1256d07a2166f46f0b39b.png We're excited to reveal that we're collaborating with Dogfood, the creator of some of the most popular Unturned mods of all time, like More Farming and the Oldie Firearm Pack! In this update he's introduced stacking to the vanilla crafting supplies, and he's only just getting started! Keep an eye out for more of his upcoming vanilla changes—we're looking forward to sharing what he's working on next. More Farming Mod Oldie Firearm Pack Changelog Added New Placeable Stacks of Crafting Supplies Stacked Logs. Stacked Planks. Stacked Sticks. Stacked Metal Scraps. Stacked Metal Sheets. Stacked Metal Bars. Stacked Wires. Stacked Cloths. Stacked Ropes. Stacked Bricks. Other Items The Rio Team added 19 more countries' soccer/football jerseys to playtime drops. Updated textures for Coastguard Top and Coastguard Bottom. Performance Vanilla street lights and traffic lights are included in static batching now, slightly improving rendering performance. Far away visibility regions (grid cells dividing up the level) are more aggressively culled slightly outside the max visible distance which slightly improves culling performance. Landmarks (lowest quality fallback LODs) and roads now use above-mentioned visibility regions to slightly improve culling performance. Roads are now included in static batching which can slightly reduce draw calls, especially on maps with lots of roads. Level Editor Paint foliage tool mode bypasses tree/resource obstruction check, allowing placement on objects. Added "-PreviewLevelBatchingMeshExclusions" command-line option to highlight non-CPU-readable meshes excluded from static batching. Fixes Moved settings saving to application quit to prevent hitching in settings menus. Blending out-of-range player spotlight color with normal color. Unable to bind mouse side buttons after last update. Level foliage file unable to shrink when foliage was removed. Airdrops landing in the wrong spot on "insane" (8x8 km) size maps. Rio Belgium, Mexico, and Sweden soccer/football jersey fixes. Stumps visible after tree respawns broken during speedtree removal. Vehicle propeller motion blur staying enabled while inactive. Playing animations now interrupt inspect animation audio. Playtime Drops In consideration of the additional country jerseys to collect, we're extending playtime drops availability an extra week through April 16th! We've also added the ability to craft a random Rio de Janeiro Remastered playtime drop from the crafting menu!Community Blog #036Mar 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsCatch up on the latest curated map, share your feedback with a quick survey, and more!

Q&A Q. How long are playtime drops active? Playtime drops have been temporarily enabled from March 19th to April 9th! Q. Can free playtime drops return permanently? This is something we frequently receive requests to do. If you have a few minutes, our latest survey includes a question about playtime drops! Q. I've copied the vanilla notes, but my custom note doesn't have a model. What am I missing? If you're simply looking to reuse the same model as vanilla notes, simply make sure your object as the following lines included: Master_Bundle_Override core.masterbundle Bundle_Override_Path /Objects/Medium/Furniture/Note Q. Can my mods reuse vanilla audio clips? For any item properties that look for a Master Bundle Pointer, you can search the core.masterbundle (vanilla game files) for an asset to use.

Rio de Janeiro aims to feel like a classic curated map while adding new features, new challenging spins on the gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements from newer maps. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/e0df9160b2897808274150a66c570aa86d738061.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/806c52eea9eaf63a3394c1239db0fefa46171003.png By popular request, playtime drops are returning for the duration of the update event! (March 19 through April 9) Map Details For the full details on the map, check out the workshop page here: View Rio de Janeiro Remastered on the Steam Workshop To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (3416057692) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to "Rio de Janeiro Remastered" (without quotes) in Commands.dat. This project was created by Zefirka, Leprechaun12, Nolamo, Flodo, JienSultan, and L2.

Rio-themed main menu takeover. Rio Map Mystery Box and Bundle with 20 items. Rio's Skull Sergeant premium bundle. Changed Weekly free item drops are re-enabled for the Rio release event. Fixed Animals broken attack cooldown. Missing line under Gold suit arm and inconsitencies with Luck o' the Irish suit. Missing newlines in server missing asset kick message. Playtime Drops Note Players frequently ask us if playtime drops will return to the game. We acknowledge that this feature provides a lot of value to players, so we have considered a few options for reintroducing playtime drops to the game. To further gauge player interest, playtime drops are temporarily active for the Rio de Janeiro Remastered update event (March 19 through April 9). Your feedback during this period, and in any future survey(s), will help us decide if/how playtime drops could be permanently reimplemented. Note for Achievement Hunters Players with 100% completion status who moved on from the game (Unturned is more than 10 years old now!) have shared feedback they want to maintain their 100% status without playing new maps. As a compromise, we've added an "-UnlockSteamAchievements" command-line flag to unlock all Steam achievements. To use this, add the flag (without quotes) to the game's launch options and run Unturned. Our best wishes and good luck to everyone playing through the map to unlock the achievements, have fun! 3.25.3.1 Patch Changelog The Rio community team is currently focusing on performance improvements, popular requests, and bug fixes. Thank you to everyone sharing feedback! Changes Rio Butterflies, Cascading Chips, and Toxi...3.25.2.0 Update NotesMar 17, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Added T-Pose gesture option. Crafting supply AllowEmpty and Prioritization options. Changed Trap damage includes owner for events. Plugin UIs now support GUIDs. Cargo data is now exportable for more assets (consumeables, placeables). Improved client-side performance of farmable items. Improved server performance of connection to player lookup. Server kicks players exceeding threshold of "bad packets." This aims to address some cases exploited by cheaters to waste server performance. Fixed Unable to place traps which damage tires. Unable to bind controls to Insert. Unable to salvage empty magazines. Prevent inputs from firing on the same frame as rebinding keys. Prioritize salvaging magazines with lowest ammo first. Exploiting plugin UIs to load cheat effects. Player destroyed error during server shutdown when client hadn't finished disconnecting. Duplicate visual bullets with several Ace skins. Potential fix for a terrain hole cutting bug. Editor loading multiple copies of the level simultaneously. Train bug at very start of non-looping track. Traps no longer wearing down with use. Purple Paintball Hopper missing salvage blueprint. SNS transport checks connection Steam ID blocklist before accepting connections. Animal errors when animation variant count was set to zero. Incorrect spawn table invalid error when referencing redirector asset. Germany mine spawn table not spawning dirtbikes. Farm growth progress bar not updating properly. Decal-type-object renderers being created on dedicated server. Server Bad Packet Kicks By default, the server kicks clients sending intentionally invalid data. However, in some cases the server would ignore unintentionally invalid data. This could be abused by cheaters to waste server performance. To address this, the update adds per-IP and per-SteamID rate limiting to those cases. Called "bad packet rate limiting" in the server configuration file, hosts can adjust the window and threshold needed to close a connection. We'll keep an eye out for reports of false positives and adjust the defaults if necessary.Postcard from Rio de JaneiroMar 13, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsDear Nelson, I wasn't sure what you meant by "take a vacation to someplace south of Canada". But, I did find a helpful brochure left at my door, and immediately booked my trip! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/68c298932aa5cb8479344795ecb3907dd7085eca.png Hello, from Rio de Janeiro! I must admit – the place looks quite different than I remember. Everything seems a lot bigger, and there's so many places to visit! Though, the brochure did say there was a "plethora of new and remastered experiences to enjoy". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/76b310a3652ff69381c4e933ea51fad866c9dc33.png Given the short notice, I was a bit concerned about finding a hotel! Fortunately, I think I can get a room at the Copacabana Plaza by the end of the day. For now, I'm writing to you from the famously sunny beach of Ipanema, as I listen to some classic bossa nova and enjoy this feijoada. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b107044b3d73871f3750f3737d46d97347c1810e.png Have you seen these iconic cable cars? The brochure said to "ride along the scenic views, and follow a culinary adventure down at the Sugarloaf Gourmet". Maybe I'll wait for you to visit, and we can check that out together! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/bffdc838b16eeaf3afac3237e7de682bb38f2088.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/7f20b0c916dd9398c13510e7ab18abda58a59bb8.png Of course, we'll also have to visit Corcovado. Did you know that it has one of the "New 7 Wonders" of the world? I've heard that a lot of people T-pose for their photos! It's a shame that you won't be able to join me in Rio de Janeiro today. Hope to hear from you soon! —Tyler PS: It's getting late, but I received your letter not too long before getting ready to send this one off. When you fly over next week, would you mind booking the hotel room? Thanks!Community Blog #035Feb 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsA short community blog post!

Q&A Q. I created a custom song but it's not working!? When creating custom assets, there's a few different points where an issue could stem from. As a starting point, it's good to double-check that your file hierarchies are consistent between Unity, your mod's Bundles, and any relevant .dat or .asset files! Aside from manually going into Unity to compare these paths, you can also check your master bundle's .manifest file to see the paths (and ensure that your asset has been bundled properly). Q. Where do I find the "satellite screenshot" folder in the map editor? If you open your map's folder, and you've generated a satellite view, you'll see a file named Map.png (for the satellite view) and Chart.png (for the chart view). (Answered on Steam.) Q. How do I add vehicles with gun turrets? They won't rotate! For turrets to rotate, they need Yaw and Pitch transforms in Unity...Screenshot Contest 2025 & 3.25.1.0 Update NotesFeb 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsScreenshot Contest It's been a while since the last Screenshot Contest–and with some of the graphical changes over the years, it definitely shows!

Thank you for participating! :) Changelog Balance Tweaks All vanilla magazines can be salvaged. Increased player movement air strafing acceleration. Quality of Life Added a separate keybind for skipping item context menu action crafting menu. Added a HUD element when outbound voice chat is turned off (optional). Helpful if multiplayer safety menu was skipped. Prevent quick-salvaging mythicals or items with kill counters or ragdoll effects. This should help reduce cases of accidentally deleting valuable items, but we can still assist through our support site when/if it happens. Ping display now shows Steam Networking Sockets client transport calculated ping. This is more accurate than the (now fallback) ping calculation. Anti-Cheat Show a disconnect message for HWID spoofer ban. (Previously a "shadowban.") Removed once-per-input-frame limit on server-side line-of-sight checks. This better protects against bullet hit spoofing at the cost of higher server CPU usage. Increased server hit validation leniency against players in vehicles. Reduces false negatives when shooting fighter jet pilots. Servers Added warning on loading screen when game connection ping is higher than in server browser. Changed default admin commands Internet server list filter to Any rather than No. Servers with a GSLT can be bookmarked without setting "bookmark host." This makes it easier to reconnect to private servers. Clarified anycast proxy is often used for DDoS protection in warning. Added an option for server host to indicate an anycast A2S proxy is in use.

The Community Blog returns for 2025! Video: "THE KING OF UNTURNED IS BACK" Take a trip through some funny moments in this new video by DizzyD. Curation, Commissions, and More We're excited to announce several upcoming changes to the curated map program. Any change here is obviously going to be substantial – and is subject to change – so we wanted to lay out some of our plans early on. This announcement is too long to include here. To learn about our current plan, tentative ideas, and other information: https://steamcommunity.com/app/304930/discussions/0/601894864482792245/ Mod: Yukon Remastered {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/3cbcdc1d819584e514779c7cb8026217998e5972.jpg The Yukon Remastered mod by FouN. The Yukon Remastered mod by FouN is an impressive map redesign and rebalance of the vanilla Yukon map, with a plan to eventually add NPC and quest content as well. They shared some insight into why they created the map, below: Hey everyone! Not so long ago, I released my map Yukon Remastered, which as the name implies it is a remaster of Yukon. I decided to remaster the map since a lot of the other official ones have already been remastered . I feel like Yukon was always the overlooked map, so I wanted to give players a reason to come back to this map. I remade all of the locations with much more detail, added some NPCs and quests, as well as added a few more locations to be on par with the much more recent maps. For me, Yukon holds a special place in my heart since it was always a survival map, and I love survival games. Nowadays, Unturned is mostly about PvP and RP, but when it first released it was all about survival, which I miss to an extent. I would recommend the map to anyone who wants to experience something different from the typical Unturned. —FouN Whether you're a fan of the vanilla experience, or want to try something new in this harsh arctic landscape, consider downloading the mod!

Trees {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/704f188feecdc39b13c763f9ee29466dfdbac243.png New tree models (version 3?) balancing the older vanilla art style with the (recently-removed) SpeedTree models. With these replaced, we're planning to run a new screenshot contest at the start of 2025! But first, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the models: Steam Discussions Trees Feedback Thread SDG Forum Trees Feedback Thread Credit for the new tree models goes to Toothy Deeryte! Contracting her to upgrade the trees was my first experience sharing the game's Unity project with a member of the modding community. She's a lovely, kind person and was patient with me as we experimented with collaborating this way. I'm feeling optimistic to work further with community members to upgrade the game in 2025! Huge thanks as well to Flodo for providing tons of helpful feedback to Toothy - I'll go more in depth about the story here in a "behind the scenes" blog post later. Gameplay Changes This update restores the grip to the Maplestrike! The previous change was intended to help other weapons keep up, as the Maplestrike has dominated PvP since its addition. However, many players felt this change detracted from its identity, and it felt worse for non-PvP players than simply tweaking the base recoil. We only slightly increased the recoil in consideration of the other recoil-related changes in this update. Other notable changes to balance and gameplay include: LMGs are now more effective at suppression, shooting 3-4x as many bullets at a time. We'd previously been considering specializing LMGs into suppression with near-miss effects, but are curious to see whether this is a more fun alternative. Vanilla sentry guns are now "ammo efficient", with only a 25% chance (was 100%) to actually consume ammo/quality when firing. Hostile sentries gained an additional use, now being able to directly target enemy vehicles. We're hoping these changes will further encourage their use. Explosions were rewritten to be more reliable and consistent. Small explosions like precision charges and explosive bullets in particular should see noticeable improvement. As above, we've started dedicated feedback threads to hear what you think of the gameplay changes: Steam Discussions Balance Feedback Thread SDG Forum Balance Feedback Thread Server Browser Curation Players, server hosts, and modders now have much more control over the server list! Anyone can create a curation list for everything from sharing recommendations, to regional filtering, to protecting your network against spoofing.

This offered higher fidelity trees, but came with a number of issues that we touched on in the 3.24.6.0 Update Notes. As part of this change, we are planning to replace all of the vanilla “legacy” tree models. You may have seen some older (and now outdated) revisions teased on our Forum. Updated tree models are planned to release in an upcoming update. Once the trees have been sorted out, we look forward to running another Screenshot Contest!

Steam Scream Fest 2024 The Steam Scream Fest sale is currently live! Most bundles in the item store, as well as the Permanent Gold Upgrade DLC, are discounted (up to 50%!) until November 4th. As a reminder, on November 5th—after the Steam Scream Fest ends—we're adjusting the Stockpile prices to be more consistent. This change was originally planned for November 1st, but has been pushed back due to the ongoing sale. For more information about those changes, you can find the original announcement in the 3.24.6.0 Update Notes. Item Store Permanent Gold Upgrade DLC 3.24.6.0 Update Notes ComboCrate 2024 Following last month's announcement, there's been over 150 submissions to the ComboCrate 2024 event! Submissions will close on December 1st, so be sure to get your items in before then. We have seen a few submissions that haven't met our guidelines. (E.g., "ComboCrate" wasn't included in the title, but in some other location.) We've reached out to participants when we've seen this happen, but please make sure you are following the guidelines! Even if you aren't participating, you can still view other people's submissions on the Steam Workshop! ComboCrate 2024 Announcement View Submissions Q&A Q. How does item spawning work? Each individual spawn point has a chance to spawn an item when the node is eligible to do so, as determined by the Spawn_Chance and Respawn_Time options. There are four notable difficulty settings that affect item spawn/despawn behavior. More information can be found on the "Gameplay Config" wiki page. Unturned Wiki – Gameplay Config Q.

We're curious to see whether this is a net positive for the meta once it's had a chance to play out, so please bear in mind we're open to feedback and nothing's set in stone. Is there more variety in combat encounters, and is that more fun? Can you Maplestrike Enjoyers out there maintain dominance? A few other balance changes are detailed in the changelog. Of particular note, quality of life additions to the Coalition questlines on the Russia map, including the ability to requisition airplanes and helicopters after achieving Major Rank and finishing Pilot Andy's quests.

The event will run from October 20th through November 1st, during which time you can craft them from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting. Trees and Skybox Ambience Removals Two more controversial changes, sorry! Although the speedtree models looked nicer than the old ones, they were overly detailed compared with the rest of the vanilla art style. We've decided to stop putting it off and remove them along with the tree models graphics option. Other reasons included: Their trunk shape wasn't quite 1:1 with the old models, so whether a player was seen as in or out of cover was inconsistent depending on graphics settings. They're much more performance intensive. Curated maps released after 2018 haven't included speedtree models. Some players changed up the lighting in a dramatic and cinematic way with the relatively niche "Use_Skybox_Ambience" option in a config file. Unfortunately, the differences were a double-edged sword because they limited level designers' ability to control the lighting, for example to experiment with pure-black nights. We've decided to remove the option, but similar lighting can still be configured in the level editor by matching ambient lighting to the sky color, so it's up to the creative vision of the level creator. Here's a post showcasing the difference with and without the option: Skybox Ambience Comparison post by BoomViz on SDG Forum Item Price Consistency On November 5th we're going to be adjusting the Stockpile prices to all be consistent. For the past two years or so all new regular items have been a consistent $1.50 USD per item. This primarily affects older items, where pricing and bundle sizes were less consistent. For some items, this is an increase. While for others, it's a decrease. Please keep this in mind if you were considering any item purchases in the near future! Beyond this, we don't intend to mess with the base item price again.

Since there's been much interest in accepting more community-contributed skins outside of new maps, we're looking to release a multi-contributor workshop box somewhere in-between. Tentatively, sometime between December and early-2025. Craftable & Purchasable Boxes We wanted to do something a bit different, which we're calling the ComboCrate 2024 Event. For this event, we want to release two different Workshop boxes. One craftable (similar to the 10th Anniversary items), and one purchasable from the Stockpile item store. Since only the purchasable box (and its equivalent bundle) would offer a revenue split, creators should include a minimum of two items as part of each submission – that's one for each box! Guidelines We’re looking to accept 14–18 items per box. These items should be uploaded to the Steam Workshop, and follow our Submission Guidelines & Requirements. View the Submission Guidelines & Requirements Submissions must also do the following: Include “ComboCrate 2024” or “ComboCrate” in the title, e.g., “Awesome Top Hats “. Each submission must include at least two items. These can be in the same Workshop upload or as separate uploads. If separate, please link them (e.g., in a Collection or the description) and ensure the same authors/contributors are listed. We're planning to accept a variety of item skins and cosmetics. Item skins with custom models are allowed. We are not accepting any mythical effects or vehicles skins for this event. Refer to the FAQ below for more information. FAQ Q. When’s the deadline for submissions? Currently: the deadline is December 1st. We may extend this due to the tentative release date for the boxes. Q. How do I create a skin or cosmetic? You can check our official documentation below the guidelines/requirements we've linked to earlier! There's also many helpful community-made tutorials, but some of those may be outdated. Q. Will you accept older submissions? We will consider older submissions if they've been updated to match the event guidelines. That means including "" in the title, and submitting at least two items. They should also follow the latest guidelines/requirements outlined in our documentation! Q. Can I submit more than two items? Yes! For example, you might submit three different items, or even an entire outfit. We'll choose which of the items to accept. Q. Are you accepting more than 2 items from the same author(s)? We'd like to accept items from a variety of creators. However – we may consider additional options depending on the number and quality of valid submissions, along with factors such as items that have multiple contributors. Q. What happens if my submission(s) have multiple authors? This isn't an issue, so long as there's at least 2 items we can accept (meaning – those items have the same authors listed). The Curated Items documentation has more ...3.24.5.1 Patch NotesAug 21, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog Added "% Full" optional column for server browser.

Changed Clarify wording of online safety toggles current value. Online safety menu can be shown again using new toggle at bottom of Options menu.

Jumping height adjusted for slight floor snapping height difference. Snapping to slopes inadvertently making tree climbing easier. Default Server List Sort Previously, servers were sorted from lowest to highest ping by default. Many of the lowest ping servers were near empty, however, so you'd need to click the Players column if you wanted to find busy communities. With this update the default sort now considers a mix of ping, player count, and how full the server is to put popular servers with a good connection at the top of the list. 3.24.5.0 Update NotesAug 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello!

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: How to Report Discord Messages and Users Discord Community Guidelines Discord Safety & Privacy 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: Smartly Dressed Games Support Changelog Added Volume sliders for overall music, death screen, main menu, and ambient/in-game.

Its design pays homage to the company's early hat-themed logos (I named SDG when I was around 12-13 and unfortunately don't recall quite what I was thinking). The hat contains a variety of classic items from Unturned 2.2.5.
