DeadlandZ Weekly Update

New Mods • Loot Tweaks • Combat Gear • Base Building Improvements

Survivors, we've been busy making further changes to Deadlandz! This latest round of updates brings improvements to base water management, expanded loot options, new high-end combat gear, weapon attachments, and fixes for some frustrating issues.

Whether you're building a secure base, gearing up for a supply run, or heading out into Knox Country, there's something new to discover.

Here's the full breakdown!

🔧 SERVER FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

⏰ Restart Schedule & Notifications Fixed

We've fixed the issue where restart notifications and the actual server restart schedule were out of sync.

• Server restarts now occur every 6 hours, starting at 00:00.

• Warnings count down from 15 minutes before restart.

• Notifications should now correctly align with the scheduled restart time.

Plan your looting runs accordingly, survivors!

🩹 Naked Fix Mod Removed

Following testing, the Naked Fix mod has been removed from the server setup.

🎒 AI Bandit Gear Despawn Fix

We've addressed an issue that caused gear to despawn from dead AI bandits.

This should make recovering equipment from fallen enemies more reliable. If you've taken down a bandit, their gear should no longer disappear due to the issue we've fixed.

🧟 DYNAMIC HORDES — BETTER PACING

We've adjusted Dynamic Hordes to make encounters less relentless, especially during low-population periods.

• Horde events are now scheduled across much longer periods.

• Larger gaps have been introduced between events.

• Reduced frequency should prevent players from being repeatedly targeted during quieter server hours.
  

The world is still dangerous, but these changes should make encounters feel more manageable and less repetitive. Stay alert — you never know what's moving out there.

🔫 COMBAT & LOOT — NEW GEAR TO FIND

🪖 Black Division Tactical Gear

High-end combat equipment from Black Division has been added to the loot pool.

• Advanced combat gear can now be found in the world including advanced armoured plates, backpacks and nightvision!

• Some AI-controlled players will also spawn equipped with this gear.
  

If you're looking to kit yourself out with serious equipment, keep exploring and be prepared to fight for it. Better gear may mean better chances of survival, but getting your hands on it won't always be easy.

🔇 Weapon Suppressors Added

Suppressors have been added for many weapons across the weapon packs used on the server.

Players can now discover additional suppressed weapon options, giving you more flexibility when preparing for combat and planning your approach to hostile encounters.

🥫 Increased Ration Pack Availability

Ration packs can now be found in larger quantities.

Stocking up on supplies for long-distance trips, extended expeditions, and remote bases should be a little easier. Food remains essential, so make the most of those extra supplies.

🚗 NEW VEHICLES — HIT THE ROAD

Two new vehicles from KI5 have been added to the map:

• 1967 Chevrolet Impala — classic American muscle for survivors who want a stylish ride through the apocalypse.

• 1986 Fleetwood Bounder RV — a home on wheels for those planning longer journeys or looking for a more substantial vehicle.
  

Keep an eye out while exploring. Your next vehicle could be waiting just around the corner.

🏠 BASE BUILDING & WATER MANAGEMENT

🚰 Extended Plumbing Mod

We've added the Extended Plumbing mod to improve water management in player bases.

This expands your options for managing water supplies and developing more practical base infrastructure, helping you build a setup that works for longer-term survival.

🛠️ More Furnishings, Containers & Crafting Options

We've expanded the options available for creating and organising your base.

• Additional furnishings for more customisation.

• More cases and storage containers for managing equipment and supplies.

• Custom-craftable water supply systems to support base infrastructure.
  

Whether you're building a fortified safehouse, a long-term survival compound, or a fully stocked community base, you'll have more ways to make the place your own.

🛒 QUALITY-OF-LIFE — CARTS & TROLLEYS

The Carts and Trolleys mod has been added to make transporting equipment and supplies easier.

Use them to help move loot, organise resources, and transfer equipment around your base.

Less time making endless trips. More time surviving.

☣️ THE BOTTOM LINE

This update brings a mixture of fixes, new equipment, expanded loot, improved base-building options, and better-balanced horde activity.

Our aim is to keep Deadlandz challenging while giving players more tools and options to survive, build, explore, and prepare for what's coming next.

Thanks to everyone playing, testing, and helping us improve the server.
