DIVE INTO THE WASTELAND

A new Class Legacy rune has entered the wasteland: the Rune of the Keymaster's Writ.

Prestige players who have earned and carried a real key can use keycopy <key> to remember that key pattern for the current login or until reboot.

The command does not create permanent keys or replace finding the real key first. It simply rewards players who already earned the lock.

Older big-game NPCs have also received Spike Guard backfills where older mob files were missing the newer stat.

A new beginner area has opened: NukeBlasted Scrapyard.

The zone introduces new players to NukeFire's crafting system by teaching material drops, addmat, saved materials, and starter crafting rewards.

Teklords crafting also received a major material-system update, with more than 100 materials moved into long-term saved material storage.

The track skill also received better messaging and now supports compact combat and screen-reader modes.

An old death-state issue has been corrected so Health, Mana, and Movement are all restored to 1 after death as intended.

Large numbers are now easier to read in several places, including identify output, experience messages, and prompt figures.

Equipment handling has been tightened so wear all, wield, and dual wield follow the same core logic, including Mutant and Kaiju limb rules.

Zone entry information around the botting flag has also been updated to make expectations clearer.

A new reader toggle has been added for players who actively use screen readers.

When enabled, certain high-volume combat skills summarize repeated output instead of sending long floods of individual combat lines.

Compact combat has also been improved with cleaner end-of-round summaries that keep useful feedback while reducing scroll.

Heavy gunfire and other repeated actions can now resolve into clearer summaries showing shots, hits, misses, and raw damage.

Bigmap received under-the-hood improvements and should now play more nicely with GPS routing.

Players can now use map memory on, map memory off, and map memory reset to control map memory behavior.

Players who prefer less header information can also use the new map legend options to tune what is displayed.

The Skynet GPS network has received a major upgrade with cleaner, smarter, and more useful route guidance.

GPS routes now calculate more reliably, display cleaner remaining paths, and support commands such as gps status, gps route, and gps nearest.

Area searching is tied more cleanly into the GPS destination network, and supported clients now receive cleaner Char.GPS GMCP data.
