Hello Survivors!

Nomad 1.0 is out, meaning we have now hit beta. There are lots of changes, so let's go through them.



Nomad Premium is the ultimate DLC to have, containing but not limited to; 26 Exclusive player skins, Premium gold coloured name tags, Access to /kits, 20+ Death effects when your character dies, Spray your Steam avatar on anything in game and many, many more benefits and features.

Level up your Nomad experience by buying Premium. Buy it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/431430/Nomad__Premium/


The Variety Skin Pack is available. This DLC contains 11 new skins for you to flex with inside of the game. Simply change your skin in the customize tab in the main menu.

Nomad had a bit of a loot balance problem, there was too much loot spawning within the world making raiding kind of pointless. Why raid a base for their military grade weapons and armour when it was so easy to loot them around the world?

The total number of loot has been reduced within the world and the spawn timer of loot has increased. This should stagger the amount of military grade weapons, armour and other items in the world where it's actually an incentive to raid other peoples bases for their items.

With this change, it is also more exciting to find higher grade weapons and loot within the world, making the whole experience a whole lot better.

To counter act this change, there has been 2 new weapons added to the game. Makeshift shotgun and Makeshift Rifle. These weapons cost very few materials to craft (and the ammo) so after you built a base, gathered some mining nodes, you are on your way to create your makeshift weapons.

This should give a better and more natural state of progression in the game in terms of weapon gearing. Spawn > craft bow & arrows > build base > gather mining nodes > decide if you want to upgrade base with new materials of mining nodes or craft makeshift weapons > find & loot higher grade weapons and gear around the world > supply drops.


Makeshift rifle is a low cost assault rifle that costs 2 metal and 1 cloth to make. This gun is a starting weapon after building your base.

It uses the new ammo, Scrap Ammo.


Makeshift shotgun is a low cost shotgun that costs 1 metal and 1 cloth to make. This gun is a starting weapon after building your base.

It uses the new ammo, Scrap Ammo.


Gravity in the game has been increased resulting in better handling and proper weights for the vehicles. They handle and perform much better than previous versions.


With the recent addition of Low Grade Gunpowder and Makeshift weapons comes 3 new quests to complete. Help the safe zone collect gunpowder and deliver your makeshift weapons for an upgraded weapon and rewards.

There are a lot of changes, fixes and new stuff that can't possibly fit all here. Below is the entire changelog for this update.

Some of the NPC's around the safe zone have also joined the festive season by dressing up.



Legendary Axe has been added. This axe works as a pickaxe so you don't need to switch out your gathering tools. It can be obtained at Saleh, when gambling with Gold Bars or Safe Zone Tokens. Test your luck, will you get it?

Hello Survivors,

Patch 0.9.99 is going down well, a lot of people are enjoying it however it's not without its problems. This patch is made to solve those problems.

I've been playing a lot of Nomad recently and I've found a few core problems, not including server related stuff but related to the crafting system. Crafting needs to be sorted out, so this patch aims to address some of these core problems.

Here is what's new, changed and fixed.


A lot of core items are missing from the crafting tab, which makes people having to rely on going out in the world and finding it. This is pretty boring, especially when everything is totally random.

When you log in, you will now find more crafting options in the crafting tab in the inventory screen. New tools, new food, and more. Some of the older crafting recipes also changed too, for better balance.

Many new food recipes have been added to expand the farming portion of Nomad. These new farming crafted food items are some of the best value food in the game, so be sure to start growing plants!


A big source of lag came with how much data Nomad was sending and receiving to each client. I've done some big changes and compressed most data streams so it's not such an impact on the networking side. This should dramatically reduce lag, network spikes and increase client & server performance.

• Fixed a bug that sometimes kills you if the server rubberbands you back without finding a position
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Dew Catchers not collecting water outside
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the server to load (and save) keybindings
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the server to load (and save) game settings
  
• Fixed a bug that caused stacking calls on zombie functions

• Potato Soup
  
• Tomato Soup
  
• Carrot Soup
  
• Vegetable Soup
  
• Baked Potato (put a Potato inside of the campfire to make this)
  
• Blood Bag
  
• Shepherds Pie
  
• Dirty Water (cook in a campfire to purify)
  
• Ghoulash

• Updated Unity to 2019.4.5f1 LTS, should see some performance increases
  
• Mipmap streaming is now disabled on all presets and default settings. If you are running into GPU memory issues, enable this option (note that it will impact FPS and CPU Usage)

• Zombies that are spawned during the night now delete on sunrise the next day
  
• Significantly reduced network strain on player damage
  
• Significantly reduced network strain on structure damage
  
• Significantly reduced network packet size on zombie movement

• Tooltip for Small Storage Chest updated
  
• Tooltip for Large Storage Chest updated
  
• New loading tips added

• Zombie Poison Gas particle emission reduced to 40, down from 80

Hello Survivors!

Nomad 0.999.1 is officially released. This major patch release aims for increased content, cleaner player experience and bug fixes. There's a lot to go through, so let's start.


The Variety Skin Pack is available. This DLC contains 10 new skins for you to flex with inside of the game. Simply change your skin in the customize tab in the main menu.

Buy it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/508800/


The settings window has been completely rewritten and now can be accessed on the main menu. The new settings menu gives you complete full control over the graphics, audio levels and gameplay elements of Nomad. It even comes with ready to use presets to save time going through the many options.

The new settings screen will allow you to control everything in Nomad. It will also help very low end spec PC's to play with a decent frame rate. Below are some comparisons:


Screenshot taken in game on Ultra settings


Screenshot taken in game on Potato settings


Legendary Weapons for the Storm, Flamer, Thor, Heckler and Bullpup have been added. These weapons are golden and typically have better stats than the standard counter parts.

Bullet trails for all weapons have been added but Legendary weapons have a different color bullet trail.


Saleh is a brand new NPC that if you exchange Gold Bars or Safe Zone Tokens, you get to randomly roll on any weapon or armor item.

There is a small chance of getting legendaries from him, and the only way to get legendary items from the game.

Safe Zone Tokens are acquired by completing quests at Hamood, the quest giver.

Some accessories will be exclusively obtained via Saleh.




The bag slot has been replaced with an accessory slot. Accessories give your character increased stats, buffs and cool visual effects and features. Many have been added to the game, so make sure you are on the lookout for them.

Some of the accessories that have been added include, Riot Shield, Backpacks, Cigar, loads of Jewelry including rings and necklaces, and many more!


Zombies are more active at night, they will spawn around you every hour. Take shelter, make sure you are ready for the night.

With this change, there are less zombies spawning around major POI's in the day. This gives you time to loot valuable gear outside of your base so you are prepared for the night.


The loading screen has also been completely overhauled. Tips are displayed at the bottom giving new players a chance to know a bit about the game before they load in. General loading text is now displayed at the top of the loading screen.


We've added a new variant of the SUV for Free To Play players, this SUV is the same as the Premium SUV, just without the armor. It can be used by both Premium and non Premium players.


The old vehicle handling was pretty terrible, it was like driving on ice. In this patch, you will find vehicles to handle a lot better.

Vehicles now read from the keybinds, which is a huge plus for anyone who isn't using qwerty keyboards.


Clay Soil and Clay has been added to the game. Get Clay Soil by using either an axe, pickaxe or a shovel on the ground. Smelt Clay Soil in a furnace to get Clay. Clay is used to smelt Metal and Improved Metal, among others.

Oil Shale and Oil Bottle have also been added. Find Oil Shale by hitting mining nodes around the world, smelt them in a furnace to create Oil Bottle. Oil Bottles can be used to create to Fuel, which is ammo for the Flamer and refuels all vehicles.

Bone Fragments can be found when digging for Clay Soil. Bone Fragments can be crafted into Bone Meal, which helps in the creation of seeds.


This isn't the complete inventory overhaul people wanted but resources can now be stacked by having 5x <item> which combines into a <stacked item>. This will help free up a lot of your storage chests and giving you more space to hold other valuable things.


Treasure items have been added to the game. Collect these items around the world and sell them at the trader in the Safe Zone. Works exactly like the Diamond found in mining nodes.


Player inventory size has been increased to 30 slots. Furnace and small storage chest size has been increased to 16 slots and the large storage chest has been increased to 32 slots.

Nomad now uses the latest Unity Physics technology to help increase your performance and ensures stuff interacts properly.


God Rays, Atmospheric Scattering, better resolution star mapping and cleaning looking nights are just a few things added to ramp up the visuals on Nomad's skybox.

In addition to the visual changes, total day length has been increased to 60 minutes (up from 45 minutes) and night progresses at 1.5x speed.




World fog has been added and gets thicker the lower you are in the world. Fog will blend to the color of the sky.

Bullets and explosions now have reverb. Interaction sounds have been added. In addition, music will now play when loading into a server and in-game.


Due to the increased popularity of Nomad we've seen a number of cases involving people abusing the game. With this, we've tightened our anti cheat, obfuscated our code and added server side authentication. We will keep an eye on things from here, ensuring you are free to play without annoying abusers.


Nomad Month is officially over, thanks for celebrating 5 years of Nomad with us!


Nomad has been updated to the latest Unity 2019.4.4f1 LTS to ensure better performance and stability.
