| Plague Events are now automated recurring events! | 2023-01-05 | Hey, folks! We deployed a hotfix earlier this week to address the main menu modding button not being clickable when a Plague Event is active. Now that this issue is resolved, we have also restarted a Plague Event on the server since the one that was active during the festive season had to be paused due to the technical issue above. Finally, we have also restored the recurring nature of this community event, meaning that Plague Events will now automatically occur every three weeks for a span of five days. Please note that when a Plague Event triggers on the server side, it becomes active in the game world for all players simultaneously, regard |

| Beginner's Guide to the Weird West | 2022-10-03 | With the Bounty Hunter Journey now free for everyone to play, we've compiled a few key tips for those just starting their adventures in the Weird West!

You can also use your companions and horse to carry extra stuff! Remember that any item labelled Junk can be disposed of without missing out on anything--their only purpose is to be resold at General Store, so if you don't need the extra cash, feel free to drop them!
