We’re doing one last content push to the Beta Branch before everything is brought over to the main servers during the wipe this Sunday (which happens at 5 pm CET / 11 AM ET).
This post is just going to cover what’s in this push, and we’ll have a more in-depth post on Sunday.
To repeat a few important points:
-This is a full wipe of the main server and private servers.
-BB will be closed for the time being, but will open again in the future.
-Season 2 does not mean a full release. Xbox is also not a full release.
This week, alongside many other additions and improvements, we’re introducing a Small and a Large Base Walker Packer - allowing you to pack small Walkers and Walkers of any size respectively. They can be built only in bases due to their structure and should allow for more convenience and utility when owning a base, both for switching between Walkers and when moving to another oasis.
CHANGELOG
BASE WALKER PACKERS
- Added Base Walker Packers - Small and Large, allows players to easily organize Walkers on their base.
(Prototype model at the moment!)

- Increased max duel wage - now you can lose up to 10.000 flots in a single duel!
- Made doors open at 50% health and kicking them out.
- Every meaningful action will refresh Trading Station protection.
WALKERS & TRAVEL
- Traveling with a Walker will automatically assign you and your crew to the Walker Crew.
