ThePort-A-Bunkeris a smaller, 1×1 version of the Port-A-Fort. This thrown item provides portable cover for players. It can be especially useful in Zero Build modes!
SLIDE KICK
A new player movement type has been added in this update. WhenAllow Slide Kickis turned on, if a player slides into another player or a destructible object, they will perform a sliding kick that does damage and has knockback. This can be turned on or off in the My Island Settings tab, the Class Designer device, or the Team Settings & Inventory device.
NEW IN CREATIVE DOCUMENTATION
The Prefab docs are grouped by theme, and contain a visual presentation of the Prefabs by category. As an example, if you’re looking for ocean or beach-related Prefabs, you can look up all available Prefabs that fit that theme in the Seaside Prefabs doc. We hope this helps you find the Prefabs you need for your awesome island design!
If you’re looking for pages on gameplay mechanics for your island, theGameplay Examplessection is now calledExploring Gameplay. We hope this renaming helps clarify the information you can find here.
