You can now passively restrain other players! Using handcuffs on a surrendered player will lock up their hands preventing them from using items and punching. Only the one who arrested them in the first place can unlock the handcuffs using a handcuffs key. You are able, however, to wiggle your way out of handcuffs by quickly leaning left and right for several seconds.

Right after putting out the update last week there was a ring at the doorbell, and suprise it was a Vive devkit from Valve/HTC! I spent a couple days this week getting started with support in the Unturned editor for this roomscale virtual reality, and I think it's shaping up to be a lot of fun.

Right now I've got the movement and object systems mostly integrated, so you can be anywhere between person size exploring a building or a giant stomping around the whole map. Alongside the normal editor object features like dragging transform/rotate handles/lasers you can also pick things up to move them around, and even throw them! I must admit I spent quite a while just throwing Stratford around the level watching it explode.

Next week I'm going to prioritize working on these VR features because I think I can get all the tools working nicely in that time, and considering they sent over a devkit I want to make sure it's prepared before the full Vive launch. Once it's ready I'll also try and get a video together to show you what it's like!

The horde beacon is a new buildable that when placed draws in waves of zombies. Once they are defeated you get several rare items, but if you die, run away or disconnect it gets destroyed. Ideally this will provide an interesting risk/challenge to gear up, an easy way to summon zombies to attack the awesome base you built or perhaps bring the horde to someone else's doorstep. In the future some new super rare guns/items may be added as rewards for winning this horde mode. What are your thoughts?

A few community-created workshop cosmetics/skins were accepted!
Feel free to check them out here: Stockpile

Going forward curated items will be accepted in smaller batches at a more frequent pace.

When equipping items/getting in vehicles the server now verifies that the client's asset configuration, for example recoil, matches its own configuration. This prevents several clientside exploits, but also means that servers which modify buildable item health can't be equipped. For now to work around this you can use a mod which globally decreases barricade/structure damage, but one goal for the next update is to add an official command for multiplying buildable damage/health.
