The Unturned 3.25.7.0 update is here, focusing on gameplay tweaks for scopes, base-building improvements, and some big community news. It’s a mixed bag that’s gonna affect how you play, craft, and where you chat about the game. Let’s jump into the details!
Scope Equality and Gameplay Options
One of the most significant changes targets the scope of experience. Before, players turning off the Dual-Render Scope Quality option got a simple 2D overlay instead of a 3D scope, which some used as a sneaky advantage since it ignored movement shakes and other effects. Now, turning this off will look more similar to the dual-render on, but still keep the performance benefits. You’ll see more up close in your peripheral vision, but it’s blurred, while the dual-render on preserves clear nearby surroundings. Plus, scopes now benefit from ambient occlusion, adding a bit more depth.
Additionally, new settings allow players and server hosts to adjust how scopes behave during fast-paced combat. Options like Viewmodel eager Jump/Land Multiplier and Viewmodel eager Misalignment Multiplier control how much your scope moves when jumping or landing, helping you keep your aim steady. Recoil can also be adjusted separately for first-person and third-person modes, including a zoom recoil reduction feature that makes scoped shooting easier. It’s kinda cool to see these fine-tuning options for scoped gunplay!
Housing Planner Gets Crafting Boost
Base-builders are getting a nice treat. The Housing Planner, which you craft from a GPS and Rangefinder, now lets you automatically craft structural items right from your inventory while building. It can unpack stacked supplies, craft metal structures from scrap metal, and skip workstations. This saves so much time and smooths out base construction, making it less of a hassle when you’re trying to get your fortress up fast.
Official Forum Closing After 8 Years
Big community news here: the official SDG Forum will close later this year. It’ll go read-only on July 30th and fully shut down on November 1st. The developers say feedback and support have spread across different platforms, so they want to focus resources elsewhere. You can still join discussions on Steam, Discord, and the community-run r/Unturned subreddit. Bug reports and support are available through GitHub and the official help desk.
