The bullet land effects on most material types has been drastically improved for visibility.
Missed shots will be much easier to spot for both the shooter and the target.

Restraints – FIRST PASS:
Handcuffs and Handcuff Keys can now be found in the world. Handcuffs may be used to restrain another player. Handcuffs must be placed in any of your weapon slots: Primary, Secondary or Tertiary. Left-Click mouse while aiming at another player who has his "hands up" (Default: F2 key). If you try to handcuff a player who doesn't have his hands up, you will be disappointed.
When you are restrained, clicking your mouse-button will cause you to struggle to get out. As it stands now, your chance to struggle increases each time you attempt to get out so the more you try, the better your chances.
To be set free from restraints, your savior must be wielding an item. For handcuffs, it’s a handcuff key. When they click you with the key, you’ll be set free and they will take possession of the cuffs.
This system is a first pass and we will be improving it in the upcoming updates. Look forward to new ways to remove restraints, new items to restrain people with, additional items to use on other players, etc...

Body Sim
Body Sim: Players now have endurance. Endurance will reduce over time on its own and sprinting will reduce it more. When endurance is low the player will begin to feel tired or exhausted, causing them to slow down in movement. You can restore endurance by resting in a bed. NOTE: You can only rest in a bed when you're feeling tired or exhausted.
Body Sim: Resting in a bed will give you a Well Rested effect, which initially restores 15% health and all endurance. It also gives you a brief increase in sprint speed and health regeneration.

Body Armor
A new equipment slot has been added named Chest Armor. To make use of this slot, two new recipes can be learned:
Wooden Body Armor
Plated Body Armor
To get started discovering the recipes, look for duct tape, which appears in commercial and industrial areas. This armor will mitigate damage when struck in the chest. The plated armor is more effective than wood armor. Damage is absorbed based on the attack type. Damage mitigation effectiveness from least to most:
Gun damage (Least)
Piercing/slashing melee
Blunt melee
Punching (Most)

Release Notes
Added a recipe for a sleeping mat. This can be placed and rested on. Currently it is using a mattress model while a custom model is in the works. This is not a spawn point like in Rust
The Police Car has an upgraded interior for an enhanced driving and passenger experience in first person.
Well Rested duration has been doubled
Fixed issue with not being able to pick up handcuff keys
Very Tired and Exhaustion no longer slows down your movement. It only drains stamina at increased rates
You can now rest on the firehouse cots
Rest timer reduced to 20 seconds
Fixed issue where you can use a mansport backpack skin on a military backpack. You can only skin other mansport backpacks now
Health drain from Dehydrated and Starving has been slightly increased
The white T-shirt now has the correct icon
Your character will start breathing heavier the lower your stamina gets. NOTE: Animations will come soon
Added Molotov Cocktails. Hint: recipe involves moonshine
Player speed is now reduced while moving in water.
Battle Royale: Emotes should now work again

Grouping
There is now an extra tab in the center part of your inventory window that says: “Group”
You can check the “Do Not Group” to prevent notifications and will auto-decline invites.
If you are not in a group then “Disband” and “Kick” are disabled.
If you are in a group and not the leader then “Invite” is disabled and “Kick” says “Quit”
Type somebody’s name and hit invite and they will receive a notification
Your group members names over their heads will be in green.

Bee Boxes
You can now discover the recipe for and, build, and place bee boxes. After being placed, the bees will immediately get to work. Over time they will create up to five full honeycombs. These can be taken out and eaten, but are more useful if empty bottles are used to collect honey from them. When honeycomb and empty water bottles are both in the bee box, the honey will drain into the bottle after a short period of time. This will produce not only a bottle of honey, but also wax as a byproduct.
Honeycomb will continue being produced until there are either five honeycombs or ten honey bottles inside of it.
If you damage a bee box, the bees will retaliate.

What can you do with all this bee stuff?
Honeycomb – Eat it, keep it in the bee box to drain the honey from it.
Honey – Eat it for gains to endurance, stamina, and energy. Honeycomb gives the same resources but at a lower value than raw honey.
Dressed Bandages – Combine five bandages with a bottle of honey to create dressed bandages. These bandages heal for a bit more and a bit longer than bandages alone.
Wax – Make candles. The candles can be placed, and after lighting them they will burn for a couple of days. They have a few different models that it switches between so you can see them melting down over time.

An "Eyes" slot has been added to the character loadout. This slot is designated for items that fit over the eyes, such as All Purpose Goggles, Night vision Goggles and other upcoming assets.
Known Issue: Goggles you already have equipped in the Face slot will stay there until you remove them.
The numeric stepper for splitting stacks in inventory now allows keyboard input.
Loadout of handcuffed player can be inspected now.
Landmines, punji stick traps, and barbed wire have all been reworked to use a new system that makes them act much more reliably. The range for triggering them now more closely resembles their model.
The White Striped Motorcycle Helmet now has the correct texture.
Swizzle now gives a jolt of stamina instead of increasing move rate.
Added the ability to pick up a misplaced ground tamper if done within 30 seconds of placing it.
Optimized fire FX, that play on player-built structures, barrels, dumpsters, and zombies. This was causing framerate issues previously.
Added a craft max button that attempts to craft as many times as possible. There is an issue when determining the max though sub combines which may miscalculate the max quantity. We are aware of this and it will be adjusted in a future update.
Doors now push your character out of the way.
Ambient music will now play sporadically throughout the world.
Fixed vehicle impact sounds so they no longer get cut off when playing.

Footwear durability will now decrease when sprinting and spawn with various durability levels. Note: Bare feet do not have durability.
Footwear now alters the noise your footsteps make, which affects zombie/wildlife detection and what other survivors can hear.
Barefoot = Quiet
Sneakers = Somewhat Noisy
Boots = Loud
