EXP Patch 0.5.8.0 Is Now Live

Just pushed a small hotfix to increase the flint in a noob zone. Enjoy.

Hi Hurtworldians,

In tonight's experimental patch makes some major changes to vehicles, introduces a new town event type and brings Diemensland back to life for ItemV2.


A long time in the making, we have the new fully fleshed out vehicle customization system. Not only do you now have freedom to choose the color of the vehicle, you can paint each panel separately!

This patch also introduces vehicle insurance claims, allowing you to call an airdrop back in for your own customized vehicle if it gets destroyed or stolen. Stolen vehicles will need to be remotely destroyed via the vehicle settings window which will take around 45 mins before your vehicle can be called back in. This gives the theif a bit of joyride time with your precious ride before destroying it and dropping them a small reward.

Calling your vehicle back in will cost you the insurance claim cost (most of which is dropped for the theif).

This should allow a much more significant investment and customization to your vehicles as they can never be truly lost.



For the Roach and Kanga, chassis and items must be scavenged from spawns in the world. The Goat is still crafted via the old methods.

We have also extended vehicle claiming to allow one of each vehicle type!

We have updated Diemensland (the map everyone knows and loves) to work in V2 in prep for the new map Splatt is working on which is heavily inspired by Diemensland feel to ensure we hit the mark. Airdrops and Meteor showers have been added.



To replace the constant slow loot spawns of legacy we have created a new town event called Loot Frenzy. Once activated will drop a new loot crate every 30 seconds with area markers for each crate, there will be one of these running all the time somewhere in the map.

• Default map changed to Diemensland
  
• Added new loot frenzy town event type
  
• Vehicle panels are permanently attached to chassis once again
  
• Vehicle wheels no longer take damage separately, they cannot be destroyed and pass on damage to the vehicle instead
  
• Players can now claim a vehicle of each type (goat, kanga, roach)
  
• Fixed a long standing bug that would cause Kanga to not turn after being picked up off the ground for a few seconds.
  
• Vehicle beacons now respawn a dead claimed vehicle, they cannot be placed if you don't own a vehicle of that type or it isn't destroyed
  
• Players can self destruct vehicles they own, this timer can be started from the character options window
  
• The goat spawn beacon will auto-claim the dropped goat if the player does not currently own a goat
  
• Vehicle disassembly wrench added to vehicle crafter
  
• Added vehicle engine unstable upgrade extender, this fragment costs nothing to apply and has a 50% chance of adding an extra upgrade point, if this fails the engine is destroyed instead
  
• Removable vehicle parts can now be dismantled into scrap
  
• Added vehicle protection and fuel efficiency fragments
  
• Vehicle window now displays the vehicle destroy timer, if the vehicle is unowned the player is shown a button to reset this timer
  
• Vehicle window now displays the chassis item so it can be recolored and masks can be applied
  
• Added tooltip for mask storage to show what mask is applied to an item
  
• Vehicle panels are now customisable (colorable) and are colored separately
  
• Vehicle air drop accuracy massively increased
  
• Recurve and fibreglass recurve bows can now be recolored
  
• Updated vehicle air drop beacon graphics
  
• Roach and kanga chassis spawn in the world, these vehicles have to be collected once again and can no longer be purchased (goat is still available for purchase)
  
• Vehicle gearbox stats have been pushed into engines and there is now just one type of gearbox per vehicle
  
• Removed random customisation for AR15s and AWMs, these items will now always start with their default look
  
• Removed random customisation for vehicles, vehicles will start out with a default look
  
• Increased effect of traction stat + baseline traction increased for all vehicles
  
• The kanga and goat are now more forgiving and harder to crash.
  
  
  Known Issues
  Vehicle mask and paint assignment can get a bit screwy, should have a fix for that soon.
