The open-world survival game SurrounDead received Patch 1.4.4d just recently which introduced a bunch of new things. One of the most notable is an NPC that lets players get cars that they have not unlocked before.
Time for Trade
The Vehicle Trader is the newest NPC to come to SurrounDead, which you can find in the Valley. He not only sells you items that allow you to repair your existing vehicles, but offers brand-new cars as well. Speaking of new cars, the "Charger" is a new vehicle that you have to find in the wild. Perhaps the Vehicle Trader has not gotten his hands on it yet, so it is up to you to get to the said vehicle first.
Various Improvements
Patch 1.4.4d brought a variety of improvements as well. The Binoculars, for example, can now be used to tag enemies from afar. The tags are a great way to let other players know which target to shoot at first.
The developers have also made some changes to the crafting recipes. For one, simple fences now require fewer items than before. Besides that, crafting some usable nails now costs a single piece of scrap metal. This yields three nails that you can use to put up fortifications and crafting stations.
In terms of enemy AI, the zombies are now able to use both of their hands to attack you. Be sure to kill them first before things go out of hand!
To give you some leeway, the number of hostile humans that may be generated near spawn areas has been reduced.
Bug Fixes
SurrounDead's latest update resolved a number of annoying bugs too! The issue where you could not add items by dropping them over a container when "Backpack in Backpack" is disabled has now been fixed.
Aside from that, the bug that prevented you from charging your batteries after reloading a saved game has finally been squashed!
