During both day and night, spawn rates are increased, with particularly significant boosts at night. Additionally, more dangerous Volatiles are introduced, making nighttime gameplay more intense.

Additionally, weather effects are diversified with new conditions and scenarios. Players benefit from improved abilities such as increased stamina, better camouflage for stealth, and expanded field of view options. Blocking abilities are also enhanced to counter a wider range of attacks. Special attention is given to equipment, with enhancements to grappling mechanics, glider movement, and inventory management. Inventory management is streamlined with increased capacity, allowing for easier transfer of items between stash and inventory, including special Easter egg items. Players can acquire unique items like a Flying Dog, Hoverboard, and KaDoom Shotgun, adding fun and quirky elements to the gameplay experience. Vendor interactions are enriched with improved rewards and accessibility, making it easier for players to acquire essential items and upgrades. Weapon mechanics are overhauled, with adjustments to durability, mod slots, and damage attributes. New firearms and bows are introduced, offering players a wider arsenal to combat the undead threat.
Overall, the mod aims to provide players with a more immersive and challenging experience within the game world, offering a variety of enhancements across different gameplay elements. (scroll down for an in-depth features list)
