Unturned fans, especially those who remember the early days, have reason to peek back at Hawaii. The map that launched the curated experience in this zombie survival sandbox is receiving attention again with upcoming bug fixes and minor updates. Plus, some new items are hiding in the shadows, promising a little surprise for players.
Hawaii Bug Fixes and Tweaks
While the original devs no longer maintain Hawaii, the map will see a batch of bug fixes later this year. This update isn’t just about squashing glitches, though. Vehicle physics for Hawaii-specific rides like the Hovercraft and Legareno have been adjusted, which might change how you zip around the island.
Foliage colors also received a subtle refresh, which could change the vibe of familiar spots. If you look closely at the shared screenshots, you might spot a couple of new items tucked away, these will come as part of a future vanilla content update. It’s kinda cool to see a classic map getting some love after all this time.
Community Spotlight: Mods and Animations
On the creative side, the community continues to deliver. A Starship Troopers parody animation called The Klendathu Drop by Nicklies니케 offers a fun take on dropping into battle. You can check it out here:
Mods also continue to add flavor. For example, mew’s Piggy Bank mod offers an alternative way to store your experience points without relying on the standard library items—great if you want to keep your base looking distinct. Check it out on the Steam Workshop:

Q&A Highlights
Some community questions were also addressed. DLSS support is unlikely anytime soon because the game would require a significant engine update to Unity’s HD Render Pipeline, which NVIDIA would need to support. So if you were hoping for a big FPS boost on high-end cards, don’t hold your breath just yet.
On a brighter note, bayonet damage customization for mods is coming very soon—probably this week on the main branch after preview testing. That’s a neat little tweak for modders wanting more control.
As for spawning barricades with items from a spawn table, there’s no estimated time for this feature, but it’s something the devs recognize as applicable, especially if expanded to level objects.
