This update, called Breach and Clear, went live on 3 September 2026. Monument blockers now wall off the red-keycard puzzle rooms until players spend damage on them. The official patch notes confirm the team tax on tool cupboards and the new grenade stack limits. Other numbers below come from a community preview and may differ in game.

Tool cupboard team tax: no extra upkeep for 1 to 4 players, 2% more for each of players 5 to 10, then 4% more for each player beyond that, up to +300%.

Grenade stacks: F1, bee grenade, molotov and flashbang stack to 3. Beancan stacks to 4.

High quality metal nodes are now scarce. The preview says they give 400 metal ore and 20 HQM per node and spawn mostly in the jungle.

Medical honey bandage at workbench tier 1: 8 instant health and 6 over time, stops bleeding and removes some poison and radiation.

Semi-Automatic Pistol and Heavy Plate Helmet cost somewhat more to craft. The patch notes give no numbers. The preview says +2 HQM for the pistol.

The preview also lists HMLMG down from 60 to 30 HQM, Hazmat one HQM cheaper and Mortar five HQM cheaper. Our recipe tables use the lower HMLMG cost, but some sites still show the old 60.

Swamp trees give more wood (the preview says 1,000 instead of 300).

Cars have a handbrake on Ctrl.

If a recipe in the Almanac looks different from your in-game crafting screen, trust the game and tell me.
