Red Solstice 2: Survivors Update 1.2 is now available and it fixes most issues that were introduced in the last patch, including client crashes when you’ve maxed out on outposts and the unreachable power relay, among many others.
Update 1.1 has introduced a lot of new things to the game. One of the biggest features added was the Sidearm switching mechanic wherein you can easily switch to your sidearm when your primary weapon is out of bullets.
There are also some huge changes to the outpost system letting players gain valuable resources, as well as employing new strategies via the Landmark Outpost, which can be found in various game locations.
