Rumour has it, the Sakhal bunkers got an epic makeover in Update 1.29. Players in the experimental dev stream highlight:
“Sakhal bunker apparently updated with warheads, new rooms, and tons of lore.”
What does that mean?
- Warhead-themed additions: Expect to find new “warhead” decor or storage elements—possibly hinting at high-stakes military secrets or explosive storytelling.
- Fresh new rooms: More space to explore, hide, or freak out in. Whether it’s loot-rich vaults, control centers, or creepy side chambers, your bunker game just got deeper.
- Lore overload: The environment now speaks more. Look for narrative clues—graffiti, notes, posters—that add texture to Sakhal’s backstory.
Details are scarce, but if those vibes are real, your underground excursions just gained major atmospheric value.
