G’day squaddies! Today’s small hotfix comes with a handful of crash fixes and some adjustments to the gameplay based on your discussions and reports following Update 10.6.
As noted in last week’s hotfix, the team made the call to revert the HAB changes back to their pre-10.6 behavior. While the goal of the attached ammo crate was to improve the gameplay experience of Squad Leaders and newer players, we need to revisit how we achieve that goal so it doesn’t disrupt the current gameplay or navigation around the HAB. We’ll share our updated ideas as we get time to revisit and redesign the system (though there’s no current timeline yet), and will work with all of you when they’re ready to play and see if they’re a worthy addition to Squad.
The full notes are below, and you are ever encouraged to join us and continue sharing your thoughts about the game over on our official discussion channels:
We’ve also begun chatting with the teams about the various projects, plans, and promises in the works and on the radar at Offworld, and we look forward to sharing (and collating your insight into) those conversations with you in the coming weeks!

GAMEPLAY
- The HAB has been reverted to its pre-10.6 behavior, and no longer comes with a pre-built ammo crate upon construction. We will continue to experiment with this design change and share our intentions with the community in the future.
- Vehicle laser rangefinder will now properly display distance numbers in Jensen’s Range.
SERVER
- Fixed a client crash triggered when a dead player respawns while still being dragged.
SERVER ADMIN
- It is now possible to change the current map of an empty server (i.e. freshly-booted with no players) via RCON commands.
