Hi Survivors!
The latest Alpha update is now live, bringing a first taste of firearms to Rooted.
Firearms
The M4A1 and Glock make their debut, opening the door to future hunting features and adding early combat options. You’ll find both weapons at the new spawn area when starting a fresh game. Player animations and weapon handling have also been improved to make movement feel more natural. More weapons and full attachment support will arrive later.
To help you get familiar with everything, a full training range has been set up near the Mansion so you can test recoil, accuracy, and general handling before heading back into the wild.
Cheat Menu
Press F10 to access a temporary Cheat Menu that lets you teleport to key locations, use vehicles, and spawn items. Its purpose is to give you quick access to the current content so you can explore the world more easily during these early stages. As upcoming systems like animals, hunting, fishing, gardening, and violent weather roll out, this menu will be removed to restore the full survival experience.
Enjoy the Alpha!
