Updates and patch notes
Kefir's Steam news stops at launch day, and later patches were announced elsewhere. This log puts them in one place and says how sure we are of each.
Since launch
| Date | What changed | How sure |
|---|---|---|
| 11 Nov 2026 | Smoke grenades can no longer be bought, but still drop as loot. Only players renting a plot can write in global chat. Character name change added at the tattooist in the prison. [1] | Fan-reported |
| 9 Nov 2026 | Kefir confirms ongoing DDoS attacks, rollbacks and item duplication, and admits it underestimated chat spam. [2] | Official |
| 9 Nov 2026 | Kefir reports over 4,000 cheat bans, confirms permanent bans, and says more detection is running quietly. [3] | Official |
| 5 Nov 2026 | Cops in the city capped at 4. Pistol-only period on fresh servers cut to 30 minutes. Cop salary raised. Documents for settlements, plots, houses and cars cost more. Seasonal currency cap raised from 350 to 1,000. [1] | Fan-reported |
| 4 Nov 2026 | Launch patch: longer cop respawn that grows with each death; patrol cops start with pistols on fresh servers; tier 1 settlements and land rentals cost documents, not cash; base business profits raised; the Buletti no longer carries shipments. Server schedule announced. [4] | Official |
| 4 Nov 2026 | Early Access launch. Servers planned for 5 PM UTC. [5] | Official |
“Fan-reported” rows come from a fan site's changelog and are not in Kefir's Steam posts. One of them, the cap of four cops, is echoed by a player in Kefir's pinned status thread. Treat the rest as likely but unconfirmed.
Before launch
- 30 October to 2 November 2026: public playtest, ending 2 November at 08:00 CET. [6]
- September and October 2026: Kefir's design posts on Looty Bay, the global map, base building and the power pyramid. They are the sources for most of this wiki.
What is planned
Kefir expects Early Access to last about 6 to 12 months and lists more maps and modes, progression systems, rankings or achievements, and better performance and network stability as planned work. There is no public roadmap. [7]
Kefir says the launch-day changes are not set in stone, [4] and that wipe length may change later. [8]
Where updates are announced
Kefir says it posts all announcements in its official communities: Discord, X, Telegram, VK, Facebook, Instagram and Steam. [9] In practice Steam news has been quiet since launch, so the official Discord is the place to look first.
