The Saddles & Settlements update for HumanitZ was only two months ago, but the developers at Yodubzz Studios aren't slowing down! The game's 1.0 release is inching closer, and update .918 is the latest milestone. As always, this update will bring plenty of fixes and improvements, but it's also bringing some exciting new content. Look below to see what the latest build of the HumanitZ apocalypse has in store!

What's Coming in the HumanitZ Armored Frontier Update?

Regarding new content, this update features some awesome new POIs, including a Mining Site, a Shipping Dockyard, a Revamped Airport, and a ship that players can enter. It also includes the ability to modify and upgrade cars with a new vehicle armour system, a vehicle crafting bench, a tire system, and several vehicle mods. There are also plenty of other new additions to sink your teeth into, including some exciting new weapons, a new hacker skill, new cosmetics, and new craftables. As always, new quality of life changes join the fray as well. The vehicle claim system has been overhauled to give new players a better chance of finding their own vehicles, which should hopefully make it harder for players to monopolize vehicles. Also, players can finally dismantle storage containers with items inside without destroying said items. However, remember that destroying a player container with items will still destroy the items inside. Throw in a massive list of bug fixes, and HumanitZ update .918 is another content-filled addition to improve the apocalypse. If you'd like the full rundown of every new addition, fix, and tweak in HumanitZ Update .918, check out the official patch notes below! Just remember, the developers recommend wiping and restarting all currently existing servers to fully experience update .918's new features - so don't miss out.
