Unturned FAQ

What is Unturned?

Unturned is a sandbox game in the emerging multiplayer apocalyptic survival genre. Rather than focusing on being an MMO, it provides players with easy systems to sit back and survive the zombie infestation with their friends.

Why does my game work badly?

The game is in early access. This means that a lot of work is still being done and it is not yet close to its final quality. As such, game optimization is lacking; however, this is currently a major development focus.

Will there be new or bigger maps?

Yes! The new map will be 16 times larger than the current PEI map and will be based in North America. Additionally, there will be a map editor.

How can I craft?

The wiki page here: http://unturned.wikia.com/wiki/Crafting_Recipes and the Steam crafting guides host the current recipes: http://steamcommunity.com/app/304930/guides/#scrollTop=0 will provide a review of the brewing system later.

Why can’t I sometimes make items with the correct recipe?

Make sure you have your crafting skill upgraded to match the item crafting requirements.

How do I create a generator?

You cannot. There is no current recipe for the generator, or the recipe is unknown. However, the most common places to find a generator are the industrial area at Burywood or the docks in Alberton and Charlottetown.

How do I cook raw food?

You need to make a fire first. When standing by a campfire, a fire icon will appear in the crafting interface. Click on the fire to start using it, then drag your raw food into the supply window.

Can I recover structures that I have placed?

At the moment, there is no way to recover the structures you have placed. The only way to eliminate them is to destroy them.

Is there a creative mode?

Not currently, but creative mode is confirmed to be in the planning phase.

Are your character’s abilities reset when you die?

Yes, every time you die, your skills and experience are cut in half.

Can I have more than one character?

Not currently, but it has been confirmed that multiple character slots are planned. In addition to specialization and greater customization, you will be able to create the character you want.

Can I store items in a vehicle?

No, but this is a planned feature. You can attach storage items, such as a box, to a vehicle instead of using the vehicle’s storage.

Will there ever be more vehicles?

Yes, but PEI is currently too small to accommodate a larger selection of vehicles. This is something that will be expanded on later. Additionally, the workshop will likely provide many more vehicles.

How do I change the version of Unturned?

Right-click on Unturned and select “Properties.” In the “Betas” tab, there is a dropdown list. Open it and select the version you want to play: “NONE: disable all beta programs” will select version 3.0, “Classic” will select version 2.2.5, and “Old” will select version 1.1.

Dropped items? What are those?

You can obtain random items by playing the game. These items are purely cosmetic. Weapon skins are, well, skins for the weapons that you can find in the game, making them look different. Other skins are garments that will appear on your character. Note that these are different from the ones you actually use. If you don’t wear anything but have skins equipped, you still won’t be able to save many items in your inventory. You can toggle between furs and worn clothing by clicking the button next to your character on the inventory screen.

What is the best weapon?

It depends on the range and the circumstances, but personally, I prefer a semi-automatic sniper, like the Snayperskya or Grizzly, with a mid-range sight, such as a halo sight or red dot sight, equipped, plus a long-range sight in my inventory. For low-mid range shots, I use low-range optics, and for long-range shots, I use the scope. Most assault rifles, especially the Maplestrike, are also very effective when equipped with accessories and high-capacity clips, such as drum magazines.

What is the best armor?

The Spec Ops gear (shirt, pants, vest, helmet) provides the best damage reduction compared to any other armor. However, the Spec Ops backpack has less space than the Alicepack, so it is recommended to use an Alicepack instead, as the damage reduction is negligible.

Which clothing has the most inventory space?

The Alicepack has the largest storage capacity of any clothing item.
