It’s update time! We’ve given some love to the Truth Serum Lab and the Armory.

We hope with these changes that players will be able to use these resources more and that they will add more value to their Project Winter experience.

Controller and console players have also gotten some extra attention this update! We have added in better inventory management for players who use controllers. This includes the ability to swap item locations and radios within the hot bar!
