Kuwait's climactic final update, a Biohazard Zombie plush now available in collaboration with Makeship, and more! 🧿
Kuwait: Escaping Outlands
One week ago, we began revealing mysterious hints, ultimately culminating into the early reveal of the update trailer. And now, Kuwait's final update is here!
Whether you're a newcomer, or a seasoned veteran, now is the perfect time to begin a new adventure across Kuwait. The monuments on Boubyan Island have finished charging the obelisk. Play today to challenge yourself with new achievements, acquire unique cosmetic items, discover hidden secrets, and escape the outlands!
Read the full patch notes on Steam. Watch the original Kuwait trailer on YouTube.
Support the Map Developers!
Animatic and NSTM have put forth much effort and dedication into developing Kuwait. If you enjoy the map and would like to support the creators of Kuwait, consider checking out their Kuwait-themed bundles on the Stockpile.
They've also created a cosmetic showcase video that shows off all of the cosmetics arriving in today's update, including the achievement rewards and the random playtime drops.
Biohazard Zombie Plush
We have collaborated with Makeship to bring the Biohazard Zombie to life in the form of a limited-edition collectible plush toy!
You can order this lovable monster from the currently-active Makeship campaign. To produce them, we need to reach the funding goal of 200 orders before the campaign ends on June 24. If the goal is not met before the campaign ends, everyone will be refunded.

This hasn't been noted anywhere publicly yet, but recently we've made a few minor improvements to the blog. In addition to typical maintenance such as version and security updates, and CSS tweaks for readability, we've also some minor site performance improvements.
Additionally, there were some missing media files on many of our older blog posts (notably, all of 2020). All of the missing images and other media have now been restored.
Q&A
Q. Steam (or Windows) says that it cannot find Unturned.exe!
Steam Support has a KB article that discusses how antivirus software can interact with Steam, and includes suggestions on how to resolve any potential issues.
Q. Why was the last blog post password-protected?You had to be there to know. 🧿 It was a part of the ARG leading up to the release of today's Kuwait: Escaping Outlands update. The password was removed from the post a day after the ARG was solved. Congrats to those of you who figured out the puzzles!
Q. What cosmetic slot does the Biohazard Zombie Plush cosmetic cover?
Just like with the Chef Zombie Plush in-game item provided to owners of the physical Chef Zombie Plush, the Biohazard Zombie Plush in-game item is a vest cosmetic.
Q. How does explosive damage work?
Explosive damage is an area-of-effect damage source that, when damaging a player, takes the average of all the player's armor multipliers from equipped clothing. The potential damage falloff is based on the closest point to the target, although it used to be based on the position of the center of the damaged target. The official Unturned wiki has an article discussing damage mechanics a bit further.
