Strayed news & patch notes

A new marksman rifle hits the island. Meet the M4A3.

We're back again with "From the Blueprints" - your official source of Strayed teasers!

For today's From the Blueprints, we're giving you a first look at a weapon built for survivors who prefer precision over volume. The M4A3 sits above the Semi-Automatic Rifle as a high-tier designated marksman rifle, rewarding accurate shots and careful positioning with increased stopping power.

Unlike many of the island's military-grade weapons, the M4A3 can be researched and crafted.

Inspired by modern AR-platform marksman rifles, the M4A3 blends familiarity with long-range performance, making it a deadly option for players who like to pick their shots rather than spray and pray.

Will the 'A3 become the weapon of choice for sharpshooters looking to dominate from a distance?

There's only one way to find out.

Note: The model shown above is a work in progress and may not represent the M4A3's final textures or appearance.

To our Steam community,

It pains us to make this announcement, but due to the relentless cheating that has appeared in the last couple weeks, we've made the difficult decision to temporarily pause sales of Strayed on Steam until July 6. This prevents cheaters from rebuying the game on new accounts, which has been their only method of evading bans.

This is not a decision we take lightly. We know many people have been excited to join the game, and we're deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this may cause. This isn't something we wanted to do, but our time is being stretched thin, and we can't continue to support the game in other ways while needing to divert so much attention and resources to moderation. Our focus right now is on addressing the issues affecting the experience of our existing player base and implementing improvements that will help protect the game moving forward.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Strayed, reported cheaters, and remained patient during this time. We are committed to doing everything we can to improve the situation and keep Strayed fun and fair for all.

We look forward to reopening sales on July 6, and apologies again for the inconvenience this causes to those that wanted to play fair. We appreciate you.

Buried Origin Has Arrived

Welcome to Buried Origin, Survivors

Buried Origin introduces the new Research Lab Monument, an abandoned underground facility once used for cloning research. Alongside this new monument, the update brings the new KP31 SMG, a wide range of model reworks, a new server queue system, voice chat improvements, major Quest stability fixes, and performance upgrades across several key monuments.

Research Lab Monument

The Research Lab is a new monument with a large underground portion accessible by various elevators.

Once used as a cloning facility, the lab now sits abandoned, and waiting to be explored. Players who make their way inside will find a more enclosed monument experience, with tight corridors, hidden rooms, and the remnants of something that was never meant to be uncovered.

KP31 SMG

The KP31 SMG has arrived.

This new makeshift submachine gun is designed to sit between the SMG and the P90, giving players another option in close to mid-range combat. The KP31 adds a fresh step to weapon progression and gives survivors another tool to fight their way through the islands.

Model Reworks

The Stone Hatchet, Stone Pickaxe, Medical Syringe, C4, Sleeping Bag, Wire Tool, and Torch have all received updated models, improving visual quality and helping bring older items more in line with Strayed’s current art direction.

Queue System

A new Queue System has been added to Strayed.

When a server is full, players can now wait in a queue instead of repeatedly trying to join manually. This should make getting into active servers smoother, especially during busy wipes, events, or major update launches.

Looting Improvements

There is now a new unique looting window for death bags and sleeping players.

This update makes looting these inventories clearer and more consistent, making the overall interaction easier to understand during gameplay.

Voice Chat Improvements

Voice chat now uses Vivox, which should help resolve the voice chat outages and connection problems players have experienced in previous versions.

Communication is a huge part of Strayed, whether you’re forming alliances, negotiating with strangers, or hiding right outside someone’s base at 3 AM. This change should make in game voice chat more reliable across servers.

Performance & Stability Improvements

Occlusion culling has been added to monuments, improving performance in areas like Ocean Fort and Satellite. The sewer area of Satellite has also been remodeled to improve performance, and the chain link fence at Ocean Fort has been removed due to performance issues.

This update also includes fixes for out-of-memory crashes on Quest 2 and Quest 3, making Strayed more stable across standalone VR hardware.

Highlights include:

• Occlusion culling added to monuments

• Improved performance at Ocean Fort and Satellite

• Remodeled Satellite sewer area

• Removed Ocean Fort chain link fence due to performance issues

• Fixed out-of-memory crashes on Quest 2 and Quest 3

• Fixed player ragdolls breaking on vehicles

Balance Changes

Buried Origin also includes several weapon balance adjustments.

The P90 now has an increased magazine size of 50, giving it more staying power in fights and bringing it in line with it's real life counterpart. The M4 has received increased chest damage, while the STG has had its damage slightly reduced overall and has been moved to the Laser Cutter module (Tier 3).

Recent Cosmetic Packs

In case you missed them, we recently released two cosmetic packs: the Magma Skin Pack and the Vaporwave Skin Pack. These optional cosmetics are a great way to customize your weapons while supporting the continued development of Strayed.

Happy 2 Year Anniversary

Strayed is officially two years old, and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has played, supported, raided, defended, and survived with us along the way! In honor of this milestone, we’ve added a cake-themed AK skin for everyone to enjoy for free. We’re excited to keep building the future of Strayed alongside you, Strayers.

A new contender is taking shape, Survivor. Meet the KP31.

We're finally back with "From the Blueprints" - your official source of Strayed teasers!

For today's From the Blueprints, we're giving you a first look at a weapon designed to carve out its own place in your arsenal. Sitting between the raw familiarity of the SMG and the high capacity pressure of the P90, the KP31 Submachine Gun is built to be a true middle ground.

This weapon is a makeshift submachine gun inspired by the Suomi KP/-31, a Finnish weapon used during World War II. It was widely seen as Finland’s equivalent to the American Thompson.

Will it become the go-to weapon for players who want something more substantial than the SMG, without fully stepping into P90 territory? Or will it carve out a niche of its own in the hands of smart, adaptable Strayers?

There's only one way to find out.

Note: The model shown above is a work in progress and may not represent the KP31's final textures or appearance.

New Frontiers Has Arrived

Welcome to New Frontiers — the beginning of a new era for Strayed.

This is one of the largest updates Strayed has received so far. It expands the world with two entirely new biomes, a complete overhaul of Strayed’s terrain systems, and new survival systems that make the environment more dynamic and rewarding than ever before. From temperature survival mechanics and biome-specific resources to smoother controls, improved visuals, and major system rewrites, New Frontiers lays the groundwork for the future of Strayed.

A Completely Rebuilt World

New Frontiers introduces a full overhaul of Strayed’s terrain systems. Terrain shaders, vegetation, rock formations, and biome assets have been rebuilt from the ground up, creating a richer, more varied world to explore. These improvements were also designed with Quest hardware in mind, improving visual clarity and making the environment easier to read during gameplay while maintaining smooth performance.

When Strayed first began development, the world consisted entirely of a single forest biome. That environment defined the game’s earliest versions and laid the foundation for the survival experience players know today. With New Frontiers, that original biome has been fully reworked with updated terrain materials, vegetation, and environment assets. Alongside the introduction of entirely new biomes, this refresh brings Strayed’s forests to the next level.

New Desert Biome

Expansive dunes and rugged rock formations define Strayed’s new Desert Biome, introducing a completely new environment for players to explore and survive in. While overall resource spawns remain consistent with other regions, the desert contains a higher concentration of sulfur nodes, making it a valuable destination for players preparing for combat or large-scale raids.

New Snow Biome

The Snow Biome introduces a harsh frozen landscape where survival becomes significantly more challenging. Dynamic snowy weather can sweep across the region, and without proper preparation, the extreme cold can quickly become a serious threat. While all three node types are equally common here, the density of nodes is unmatched with other biomes. If you can withstand the freezing temperatures the Snow Biome can be very rewarding.

Temperature & Comfort Systems

Feeling Chilly?

The Snow Biome introduces a survival challenge through the new Temperature system. Without proper clothing, the cold will gradually damage you over time and can eventually kill you. Protect yourself with cloth clothing and heat sources such as campfires and furnaces.

You can now heal passively with the new Comfort status. Gain Comfort by staying near heat sources like campfires, furnaces, and refineries. While comfortable, your hunger is gradually converted into health, so make sure you stay well fed.

Performance & System Improvements

New Frontiers also includes a wide range of core improvements aimed at making Strayed run smoother and feel more responsive than ever. Several major systems have been rebuilt from the ground up, including terrain rendering, player movement, item grabbing, and deployable networking. We’ve also overhauled terrain assets, improved road generation, and optimized rendering systems to maintain strong performance across Quest devices while improving visual quality. This update represents one of the largest technical overhauls Strayed has received so far, laying a stronger foundation for future updates.

Highlights include:

• Rebuilt terrain shader and grass rendering for Quest

• Complete rewrite of the player controller

• Complete rewrite of the item grabbing system

• Improved deployable networking and syncing

• Terrain asset overhaul across the entire map

Making Strayed More Accessible

Alongside the New Frontiers update, we will be permanently reducing Strayed’s price from $19.99 to $14.99. As Strayed continues to grow, our goal is to make the game more accessible and welcome more players into its evolving world. A larger community means more active servers, more encounters, and a richer survival experience for everyone. We’re excited to open the doors to more players as Strayed enters this next chapter.

Recent Cosmetic Packs

In case you missed them, we recently released two cosmetic packs: the Heartbreaker Skin Pack and the Scarab Skin Pack. These optional cosmetics are a great way to customize your weapons while supporting the continued development of Strayed.

TLDR; We’re moving to bi-monthly updates so we can focus on stability, performance, and higher-quality releases. Public staging testing will return. Terrain update lands March 6, Bunker Monument May 1. Smaller bug-fix patches will continue as needed.

We’re changing Strayed’s update schedule from monthly to bi-monthly (every other month).

This may seem sudden, but it isn’t a decision we made lightly.

Right now, Strayed is struggling with bugs and performance issues, and that’s something both the community and the team are aware of. Shipping updates every month has forced us into a cycle where we’re rushing features out the door instead of giving them the time they need to be tested, fixed, performant, and actually improve the game long-term. That pattern isn’t sustainable, and it’s led to update days that are rougher than they should be. We want updates to be exciting and worth playing, not a day of bugs and hotfixes.

Moving to bi-monthly updates gives the dev team the breathing room required to:

• Fix deep, systemic bugs

• Improve performance and stability

• Properly test updates

• Deliver changes we’re actually proud to put our name on

We know this means fewer updates on paper, and many of you will be understandably frustrated by that. But continuing on the current path would only lead to more broken releases, more hotfixes, and more overall disappointment.

Our goal isn’t to push updates frequently. Our goal is to make Strayed better. We said it before, but we want 2026 to be a year of stability for Strayed and for our team. Unfortunately, we've learned the hard way why most game development teams don't push monthly updates. All we want in the world is for Strayed to be a solid and fun experience that doesn't get ruined by overlooked bugs or performance sinks.

We’ll continue communicating progress during development, and when updates land, they’ll be more substantial, more stable, and most importantly, more worth your time. We'll be releasing smaller patches more frequently to fix bugs as we go, and larger content items will be reserved for the bi-monthly updates.

What Changes Now?

• The terrain improvements update (desert + arctic biomes, new terrain texturing, new tree/rock/node/hemp models, and more) is being pushed back one more month to March 6

• The Bunker monument update is being pushed back to May 1

• Public staging testing will be brought back so that the community can test updates early and report issues

• We're working on revamping our roadmap to be more user-friendly and interactive. We'll have more information on this soon

We know that many of you will be extremely frustrated about this change. In this time, we ask for your patience and trust while we rework some our internal structure.

We're optimistic about the future of Strayed and we hope you are too, strayers. Thank you for reading and enjoy your wipe!

Patch & Polish!

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors. Last January was all about bug fixes, and we’re doing the same thing again to kick off the year the right way.

This update has no new content on purpose. It’s a cleanup pass focused on stability, performance, and smoothing out the rough edges so Strayed feels better to play.

However...

We've gone and added some Calling Cards for previously released skin packs.

Ice Cold Calling Card

• Instance data visuals not updating properly on slot updates

Thanks for the patience, survivors.

We understand the frustration that comes with missing out on a content drop for the month, but updates like these are necessary for game health. And don't worry! there's going to be some really cool stuff coming later this year. Here's to 2026! 🥂🍾

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors.🔥

The Rainy 'Nades Update is here. This update drops a brand new Grenade Launcher into the mix along with some major upgrades to how the island looks, feels and plays.

Multiple Grenade Launcher

A handy new high-tier explosive weapon, an alternative to the rocket launcher that trades raw power for volume of fire. Deal splash damage to buildings or use it for defense and crowd control.

New Weather Effects

We’ve added a new dynamic weather cycle, featuring Calm, Rain, and Fog conditions. These effects bring more life and immersion to the island.

During Rain or Fog, visibility drops, and solar panels won’t perform as well.

You’ll now find a weather dropdown in the Offline Mode world settings, letting you change the weather on the fly.

Calm

Rain

Fog

Base Stability

Base pieces now have a stability stat, visible when using a blueprint.

A piece’s stability depends on the stability of the pieces it’s built on, as well as any supporting pieces around it.

If a piece drops below 5% stability, it will break.

This prevents players from building tall, unsupported towers and large overhangs.

It also means you can destroy the lower parts of a structure to potentially collapse everything above.

Offline Mode Shooting Range

Offline Mode now includes a shooting range. Test weapons, practice recoil, and sharpen your aim without risking your gear.

New Skins!

Forged in the spirit of an ancient craft, the Damascene Gold Skin Pack celebrates the art of embellishment once reserved for royal blades and armor.

This pack brings that legacy to your arsenal.

A fusion of wood, metal, and gold filigree that evokes both respect and fear.

This pack includes skins for:

• Revolver

• STG

• Double Barrel Shotgun.

Full Patch Notes:

Added

• Grenade launcher

• Rain and fog weather

• Base stability

• Offline mode shooting range

• Offline mode weather dropdown UI

• Damascene Gold Skin Pack

Changed

• Solar panel output is impacted by weather types

• Day/Night ambience volume changes with altitude

• Wind ambience volume changes with altitude

Fixed

• Ability to place overlapping build pieces

• Loot crates, rock nodes, and cloth pickups sometimes disappearing when approaching them

• Server slowdowns when ATVs are moving

From all of us at Crustacean Interactive, we hope you enjoy the Halloween experience we’ve crafted for you. Thanks for being part of the Strayed community. Stay safe, stay armed, and get spooky.

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors.

Today's update introduces a brand new weapon and a handful of quality-of-life improvements to make your time on the island smoother and more consistent.

What's new?

Double Barrel Shotgun

A new close-range, over-under, double barrel shotgun, designed for quick, high-damage encounters (most likely at your neighbors doorstep)

Offline Mode Time of Day Slider

A new time of day slider has been added to offline mode, letting creators and base builders adjust lighting for screenshots, cinematics and more!

Attachment Dragging

Before this update, attachments would need to be transferred from a container into your player inventory before they could be attached to your guns. Attachments can now be dragged directly on to or off of weapons from any inventory. This will save time for survivors everywhere!

But Where's the Rest?

On our roadmap, we stated new armor pieces would be coming this month, but they didn't. This has happened in the past with other content items on our roadmap that have seemingly not shown up. We understand your frustration, and we want to address it.

In the case of new armor pieces - we're expecting those next month. We want these to be the best they can be, which means getting the best resources and spending the right amount of time.

As for other content items, such as weather or model reworks - they're still planned or underway. Sometimes we plan far ahead for a content item and when we actually get to the point of implementing it, our attention needs to be shifted elsewhere. Most of the time it's because more effort needs to be put into Quest performance before content can be added, and this was/is the case for weather especially. Other times it's bugs, cheaters, or anything in-between.

We're also focusing effort into larger-scale content coming in the next couple months like biomes and graphical improvements, although they're moving at a slower pace than expected. We'll keep everyone up to date on these items as they get closer to releasing.

Bottom line is: We just want everyone to know that this content is still planned and/or in progress, and that we're working our hardest to deliver the best updates we can with the resources we have. We appreciate everyone's patience and support!

Stray Tuned... Be There At Nightfall...

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors.

Update 0.13.0.0 brings new ways to move fast, strike quiet and stay alive.

ATV Vehicle

Tear across the island on the all new ATV vehicle! With room for two and a lightweight frame built for rough terrain, it's perfect for quick loot runs, daring escapes or chasing down your enemies before they even hear you coming. You can find the ATV on the road that circles the map.

ATVs will slowly decay over time, however, storing your ATV within the radius of a Resource Container will slow its decay rate by half. It can also be repaired with a blueprint.

Suppressors

Silence your shots with the new Scrap and Military Suppressors. Whether you're stalking your next target from the shadows or taking sneaky pot-shots at a distance, these attachments let you stay off the radar and out of trouble

The Suppressors reduce the distance that your gunshots can be heard from at the cost of Damage and Suppressor Durability.

Beds

Lay claim to your home with the new Bed

A more efficient but expensive alternative to the sleeping bag. The Bed has a respawn timer twice as fast as a regular sleeping bag - 120 seconds.

New Skins!

The Sundown Skin Pack is now available! Kick back, catch some rays and waves. The Sundown Skin Pack wraps your loadout in warm tropical hues, from mellow mint to blazing reds and dusky purples.

• Stapler

• Improvised LMG

• Handmade Pistol

Fixed

• Bag overlap checks are now accurate

• Deployables placed on the ground no longer “forget” their RC

• Rock structure inconsistencies near monuments

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors! Update 0.12.0.0 is here, bringing tougher bases, refined resources and one of our most powerful weapons yet, as well as some new features and highly requested additions to offline mode.

Armored Base Pieces!

A new tier of base piece is now available. Stronger, heavier, and built to withstand the harshest raids, the armored base pieces are twice as strong as metal with 2000 health!

Metal Refinery!

The Metal Refinery is your means of turning metal fragments into beautiful, shiny Refined Metal.

Put wood into the fuel column and metal fragments into the out column. When you turn on the refinery, you'll see some of the fuel slots light up orange - this is the fuel level. Over time, the fuel level will jump upwards or downwards, and you'll have to update the amount of wood to match it (Hint - watch the arrow on the left side of the fuel column).

By matching the fuel level with wood you can maintain the highest yield of refined metal; 80%. Some of your metal fragments will turn into waste - Slag - you can control the amount of slag produced by maintaining the proper fuel level.

If you end up with more slag on your hands than planned, no worries; slag can be re-melted into metal fragments in a furnace.

If this complicated refinery jargon is going over your Strayer-head, just simply follow the Add/Remove Wood warnings inside the UI panel to maintain a high yield. Happy refining!

The Improvised LMG (ILMG)

Rain down bullets with the newest addition to Strayed’s arsenal: a heavy-hitting, high-recoil light machine gun.

The ILMG holds an impressive 90 rounds of rifle ammo in it's fuel-canister drum. You can try to spray the whole thing at once, but you'll quickly notice this gun's unique vertical climb recoil. The longer you shoot, the higher the barrel goes. This one will take some practice!

Offline Mode Explosives!

Test the strength of your base designs in offline mode! C4, Rockets and Rocket Launcher have been added to the offline spawn menu.

Mag Slap!

You can now use a magazine to slap empty mags out of some guns. Your reloads just got a whole lot more satisfying, Strayer!

Last Death Marker!

Your previous death location now shows on the map, letting you navigate easily to recover your lost items, if they have not already been taken.

Bag Timer Migration!

Sleeping bags within 60 meters of each other will now share a timer, preventing players from respawning in the same area too frequently. When placing a bag, you'll now notice the bag ghost will turn yellow when within sharing range of another bag.

New Skins!

Break the system with the new 404 Not Found Skin Pack! This pack features three wireframe-style skins: White, Black and Textured for three favorite weapons. These skins make every shot look like a dev tool gone rogue. 

These skins are available on:

• AK

• STG

• Military Pistol

Other Changes & Fixes

Added

• Improvised LMG

• Metal Refinery deployable/mechanic

• Refined Metal and Slag

• Armored base pieces

• In-headset moderation tools

• C4, Rocket Launcher, and Rockets to offline mode spawn menu

• Ability to damage base pieces and deployables in offline mode

• Last death location to map

• Magazine slapping mechanic

• Bag timer migration (60 meters)

Changed

• Offline mode is now playable without internet

• Distant rendering of various deployables

• Garage doors no longer animate at distance

Fixed

• Main menu login times have been significantly reduced

• Failure to login now shows rather than blanking out menu

• Non-functional graphics settings showing on Quest

• Sleeping player armor slots allowing non-armor items

• Dying while interacting with door breaking future interactions

• Snap deployables (doors) sometimes placing wrong

• Invisibility glitch when getting out of seats sometimes

• Structures sometimes not unloading when spawning/respawning in a new area

• Safe zones mistakenly being rectangular/allowing players to build within it barely

• Players slowly slouching over time

• Ladders not being able to be placed in left-handed mode

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors! Update 0.11.0.0 is here, bringing a fresh new monument, shiny new interface elements, improved building controls and a handful of performance boosts and bug fixes to make your time in Strayed smoother than ever.

Satellite Monument

A towering satellite dish with its surrounding buildings has been added to the world, housing a new level 1 vault in its tunnels!

Deployable Placement Overhaul

We’ve completely revamped the deployable placement system! When placing, you'll now notice that deployables will 'collide' with other surfaces, allowing you to get those boxes and workbenches squeezed right up to that wall.

Paper Doll

Ever wonder what you look like fully kitted out? Now in the inventory you'll see a “paper doll” that mimics your movements and shows the clothes you’re wearing!

There's even new protection % values to tell you how protected you are from damage at each section of your body.

Metal Hatch Door

The metal hatch door adds a new layer of protection for your base for those who need an upgrade over its wooden counterpart.

It offers the same amount of protection as your normal metal doors, but only costs 400 metal fragments!

Touched Up Base Pieces

The base pieces you know and love have had their textures slightly updated. Here's a look at them!

New Skins!

Bring the cookout to the Strayed islands with the new Summer Food Skin Pack! It's time to fire up your arsenal with three mouth-watering weapon skins:

• Hot Dog Pump Shotgun,

• Ice Cream Semi-Auto Rifle,

• Pizza Bolt-Action Rifle

Buy the Summer Food Pack via these links!

Steam Store

Meta Quest Store

Other Changes & Fixes

Added

• Satellite Monument

• All new deployable placement system

• “Paper doll” in player inventory, mimics your movements and equipment

• Metal hatch door

• Optimized “proxy” rendering for far bases (should increase performance on large servers)

• Reduced baseline memory usage (should remedy “low memory” crashes)

Changed

• Touched up base piece textures

Fixed

• Inability to click right arrow buttons in main menu settings

• Ability to bridge with triangle foundations

Welcome back to Strayed, survivors. Update 0.10.0.0 seeks to fill out the early game progression with two new Ranged Weapons, four new Melee Weapons, Offline Mode, some long requested features and the usual bug fixes. Get ready for some Blades & Bloodshed.

New Firepower!

Introducing the Homemade Pistol, a low tier, short range gun designed to be a cost effective solution to your trigger happy needs in the early game of Strayed. 

Deadly Office Supplies!

The Staple Gun is a weapon to bridge the gap between melee weapons and guns. It may not pack much of a punch, but it’s better than nothing!

The staple gun and its corresponding staples can be crafted by default with a workbench. Nothing to research here!

New Sharp Stuff!

Since Strayed was released into early access, the only weapons Strayers had to swing at each other were tools and two bats. This changes today with the addition of four new melee weapons! All of these weapons can be used for combat, smacking barrels, or even some eco-raiding.

• Machete

• Sword

• Combat knife

• Wooden spear

Machete

Crude but gets the job done. Perfect for cutting into survivors and barrels alike.

Sword

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. 

Combat Knife

Be careful, this one is really sharp.

Wooden Spear

The most basic weapon of them all. Essentially just a pointy stick. The ultimate early wipe self-defense.

Offline Mode

Strayers everywhere have been looking forward to this feature... Offline Mode! Design your base, refine your aim, or practice your flying skills at no risk on your own private island.

The new offline mode features a spawn menu, allowing players to spawn any weapon, tool, or deployable they want - including helicopters! Your builds will even save themselves automatically, meaning you can come back whenever you like to continue your creation.

Oh and by the way - You can fly here! Take advantage of your new superpowers by holding both grips and pressing the jump button.

Do keep in mind Strayer: Offline mode is currently in beta and there are still unsupported features and bugs. More features will be added to the offline mode as time goes on.

More Changes and Fixes!

Added

• Staple Gun & Staples

• Homemade Pistol

• Machete/Sword/Spear/Combat Knife

• Offline mode (Beta)
