UPDATE on Monday, March 17: Congrats everyone, the patch is live! We had a few adventures when deploying it, but it's live and we didn't wipe any servers.
The Console 1.3 patch is almost here! This patch brings the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 version to parity with PC, and contains a lot of new features and bug fixes.
Random/important fixes:
- The server remembers your codelock password
- Water bases no longer possible to build, if you have a water base you may as well abandon it. There was an exploit with water placed foundations that made raiding impossible which is now fixed.
- This update adds building block to areas players were troll building on, like bridges. The bases there haven't wiped, but you will no longer be able to build in them.
- Team invite issues fixed
- Your base will now have different HP. If it was made out of branches, you need to upgrade asap - for that you need wood and rope now. Rope is super valuable, so when killing bots, tear up their clothing into rags and make rope out of it.
Added Assault Ladders
You can now climb up to enemy bases using Assault Ladders. These are useful for top down raiding and countering roof campers. Base owners: secure your roofs.
Console-specific ladder fixes:
- Fixed character movement offset when exiting assault ladders.
- Ensures smoother transitions when climbing off ladders.
Triangle Foundations!
- New triangular building elements added to the construction system.
- Allows for more creative and efficient base designs.
2 More Base Building Tiers
- Added Log and Concrete base tiers. The Branch tier is now very weak, so people don't Fortnite their way around PVP. You need to rush to upgrade it to Logs asap, using rope as a secondary resource.
- Base tier progression: Branch → Log → Plank → Metal → Concrete.
- New concrete mixer module added to base-building mechanics.
- Cement, concrete mix, and bricks introduced as crafting materials.
New Explosives
- Reinforced Explosive Charge added as a powerful but expensive raiding tool.
- Duct Tape now required for crafting standard explosive charges.
- General rebalance of explosive drop rates and crafting costs.
Gameplay Mechanics Adjustments
- Reduced player sway while stationary to improve aiming.
- Removed camera shake when using an axe or knife.
- Improved stability of ladders and character movement when climbing.
Combat & Armor Changes
- Armor now protects all bones for more consistent damage mitigation.
- Damage against armor rebalanced to improve survivability.
Quality of Life Improvements
- Backpacks can now be stored within other backpacks to optimize inventory management.
- Added a shooting target for training and recreational shooting.
Trader & Economy Adjustments
- Nails removed from trader inventory to encourage scavenging.
- Price adjustments:
- Blow Torches and Duct Tape now cost 6,500 currency.
- Vehicle locks reduced to 100 currency.
Environmental & Map Updates
- Building restrictions applied to bridges to prevent exploitative constructions.
- New spawn area changes: AI-controlled enemies now spawn with double-barreled shotguns in player respawn zones.
- Significantly expanded the new spawn areas, they now go around the north side of the map

- Bots can no longer be built inside bases via construction exploits.

Need to make it were other player jeeps do not count towards your base resources
Hello, I also have a question, why don't you support keyboard and mouse for consoles, because many people don't know how to play with joysticks or controls, can you make some keyboard support because it's hard, many people use Cronus Zen, but don't do anything against cheaters.
hello why don't you make some servers to support keyboard and mouse, it's not that hard many games have support. this is like dayz, it would be very nice the community will love this, believe me, some servers wouldn't hurt, in consoles to support the keyboard and to be able to play with the mouse, and nj with mouse and keyboard, 😂😂, come on guys a lot of people need this update. have a good day
That game is a mess, it has a lot of problems, this company is a big shit, this game needs, most of all, care, it needs support for keyboard and mouse, on consoles, the world is starving, what a shitty company, the map is huge, these developers think they smoked some good weed, I wonder if they will show up if they will solve the problem. cars and food, more cities, villages, water springs ...
Thes a bug where if you join a squad the names of your friends ain’t the actual names and they don’t go above their heads they stay where every you teamed up and you have relog all together then someone always ends up in a one queue at the same time makes no sense
