Deadside Fixes Bring Discounts and New Features - February 13, 2026
Date: February 13, 2026
Deadside, the open‑world survival shooter that blends hardcore PvP and PvE action, has rolled out a major patch aimed at improving player experience and addressing long‑standing exploits. The update delivers essential bug fixes, new tools for maintaining gear, and a preview of upcoming crafting expansions.
Key Fixes
- AI damage to player bases disabled: The griefing exploit that allowed AI to be lured into destroying other players' bases has been removed, making bases safe again.
- Head‑shot damage adjusted: Un‑helmeted AI now take significantly higher head‑shot damage, allowing any weapon in good condition to kill an un‑helmeted bot with a single head‑shot at half the weapon’s effective range.
- Repair part cost reduced: Weapon‑repair parts are now cheaper, addressing the prohibitive repair expenses introduced in update 1.8.
New Features
- Discounted repair parts in Traders: Traders now stock unique weapon‑repair parts in the “Tools” inventory, offering a cost‑effective way to keep gear in top shape.
- Blueprint system preview: A future blueprint system will let players craft these unique repair parts themselves, further reducing reliance on purchases.
- Expanded crafting roadmap: Plans are underway for a new workbench and additional crafting content, expanding the depth of gear customization.
What This Means for Players
The removal of AI‑induced base damage restores confidence in base building, while the head‑shot tweak ensures AI opponents are no longer “bullet sponges.” The discounted repair parts provide immediate financial relief, and the forthcoming blueprint system promises even greater savings and self‑sufficiency.
