Wipe Updates for December, 2025

The air is crisp and cold! Welcome to our December wipe. We will be hosting a design contest this wipe (see details below). Just a reminder, we will be increasing the levels from 100 to 110 in January.

I know I have said it before but we will be releasing a new decay server with some QoL improvements (no vendor CD, digital marketplace, roaming darkzone AI/zombies) this month. I will update this topic when released and of course, announcements on our Discord.

New Stuff:

— The Anvil. Our very first instance. It will require a blue and red card (and a fuse) to make it through the puzzle. About 50 NPCs and a few turrets. Two loot rooms. A weapon flashlight is suggested. These will spawn naturally around the map (will be marked on map/in chat). I had a lot of fun creating this, I am very excited about creating some neat instances/experiences for you folks. Working on the next one already… a creepy cabin in the woods theme. 
— New boss, Warhound. He can be found in the new Anvil instance and will drop an item you can turn in at the RCI building in Outpost.
— Downed cobalt fighter jet event. Similar to our downed cargo plane event. 4 – 6 NPCs defending two elite crates. I set the jet’s attitude pretty high to keep the jet sound down to a minimum (it will fly around for a few minutes before crashing). 
— Stack sizes have doubled and/or increased for most items (including resources and scrap). 
— Enemy health bars will now be displayed when attacking Brad, Chad and animals. 
— Quarries can now “mine” for wood.
— Foundation refiners and large furnaces. Just craft regular refiners/furnaces and plop onto your foundation (no need to purchase a special one).
