Update 1.28 fundamentally changed how weapons interact with the environment:

: The automatic gearbox simulation was improved, specifically affecting vehicles like the Humvee/M1025. Environmental and Dynamic Events

: Reworked server syncing has significantly improved car handling, especially for players with higher ping.

: A civilian 2x optic similar to hunting scopes but more readily available with slightly less zoom. Combat and Movement Mechanics

: A legacy submachine gun making its return, the RAK-37 is a compact, full-auto SMG-style rifle that spawns in police stations. It features satisfying recoil and a new reload animation.

: These now spawn across the island, dropping essential supplies like morphine and IV kits, often guarded by infected.
