Is there a cure?

As of this writing 17/09/2026, you can buy a cure from the Survivor Shop. This is subject to change, as often at the start of a season access to cure can be limited, or the method by which you obtain it may be adjusted.

Respawn

πŸ“¦ Loot

  • Respawns on a random timer to prevent loot camping, anywhere between 1 - 6 hours (subject to change based on player base).
  • A container with more than 4 items will not spawn more.
Loot Cycling
  • πŸ“¦ Place any useful stuff you no longer need in one container (e.g. propane torches).
  • πŸ”¨ If it's a place you often visit and have the skills/materials, make a player made box, so that all world containers can respawn.
  • 🚫 Do not Place useful items, as this creates lag.
  • 🧹 Drop everything else to the floor for the server to cleanup.

πŸš— Cars

Every time a car is salvaged or wreck dismantled another car is spawned at a random location on the entire map.
