==General Updates==
===Celebrate the holidays with the Scorched!===
Starting December 12, some of the Scorched will be spreading merriment this holiday season by dressing up in their most festive attire and wrapping presents. Take down these “Holiday Scorched” and they will drop Holiday Gifts for you to unwrap.
* Open a Holiday Gift it to see what the Scorched have given you, which may be anything from crafting components to aid items, or even rare plans.
** Holiday Gifts can be low, medium, or high-quality, and the higher the quality of the Gift, the better the chances for rare loot.
* Craft Your Own Holiday Gifts!
** Be sure to check in with your favorite Vendors around Appalachia during the Holiday Scorched event, because they are selling Wrapping Paper that you can use to craft Holiday Gifts of your own to give to others.
* Holiday Scorched Event Dates:
** Start Date: Thursday, December 12 at 11:00 a.m. ET
** End Date: Thursday, December 26 at 12:00 p.m. ET
===Atomic Shop===
Now until December 31, you can bring a little holiday cheer to your C.A.M.P. by unlocking a free Santatron Collectron Station in the Atomic Shop.
* Build the Santatron Station in your C.A.M.P. and your jolly Santatron bot will wander the nearby area to look for toys, candy, and other items for you.
** While the Holiday Scorched event mentioned above is active, Santatron will also occasionally find a Holiday Gift of random quality.
** Any items Santatron finds will be placed into the container attached to its Station, and you can collect them from there.
** Players who also own a Scavenger Collectron Station can switch their Santatron to hunt for the items the Scavenger bot normally finds, and vice versa. However, only one type of Collectron Station can be built at any given time.
* You will still be able to build and use your Santatron even after it has left the Atomic Shop, so be sure to claim yours before December 31.
===Challenges===
* In response to community feedback, we have revisited many of our existing Challenges in order to make them more player-friendly and remove others that had too many requirements.
** We have also updated our Daily and Weekly Challenges so they are more straightforward, simpler to complete, and to help them feel like they are part of the core experience of the game.
** These changes will take effect starting January 1, 2020.
===Sound===
* Music: New Holiday tunes have been added that will play while you browse the Atomic Shop.
===User interface===
* Private Worlds: Following community feedback, we have added a new button to Private Worlds mode on the Play Screen so that Private World owners have more choice in how friends can join their World.
** The button can be toggled between “Team Only” and “All Friends.”
** Team Only: When “Team Only” is enabled, only the Private World owner and players they have already formed a team with can enter the Private World.
** All Friends: Switching to “All Friends” will allow any players on the Private World owner’s friends list to enter the Private World.
* Item Transfer: It is no longer possible to transfer items into a dead enemy’s inventory.
==Nuclear Winter updates==
===Vote for your map of choice===
After receiving requests from Overseer Candidates who would like more choice in map selection, we have added the Flatwoods map back to Nuclear Winter and Candidates can now vote for the map they want to play on during the upcoming match.
* Map voting begins at the start of each match while Candidates are in Vault 51.
* Once voting starts, you can press the Map button to open the new voting interface and make your choice.
** Your vote cannot be changed after it has been cast.
** The map that receives the majority of Candidates’ votes will be selected for that match. In the event of a tie, ZAX will choose the Map randomly.
===Happy holidays, candidates!===
====Halloween-themed challenges are back====
It’s the Nightmare Preceding Christmas and our Halloween-themed Nuclear Winter challenges are making a comeback for a limited time.
* All six challenges and their cosmetic rewards will be available at once. You can also pick up right where you left off, because any progress you made toward completing them in October will be preserved.
* Nightmare Preceding Christmas Challenge Dates:
** Start Date: Wednesday, December 11 at 7:00pm ET
** End Date: Monday, December 16 at 7:00pm ET
====Unlock festive cosmetics with six new Christmas challenges====
We’ve added six new Challenges and themed cosmetic rewards for the holiday season that will begin appearing in the Character Challenge menu next week.
* One new challenge will appear each day until all six are available. However, before you can begin earning progress toward any given Challenge, you must first complete the Challenges preceding it in order.
* Rewards include wrapped presents for your C.A.M.P. from ZAX, Wrapping Paper Hunting Rifle Paint, a Snowflake Metal Armor Skin, a new outfit, and more, so start racking up * Overseer XP to claim them while they’re available.
* Christmas Challenge Dates:
** Start Date: Tuesday, December 17 at 7:00pm ET
** End Date: Monday, January 6 at 7:00pm ET
====A more festive vault====
* Even ZAX is getting into the spirit of the season, and has adorned Vault 51 with holiday decorations for Candidates to enjoy before they engage in the merciless Overseer selection process.
===Matchmaking===
We’ve updated Nuclear Winter so that the Storm will now automatically constrict the starting area to account for the number of players that begin a match .
* When this occurs, the Storm will not deal increased damage at the start of the match, even though the playable area is smaller.
* This will help encourage combat from the beginning of a match and reduce time spent hunting for other Candidates. It will also make for a quicker match overall, so that you can requeue to find a better match.
* We made these changes so that players can spend more time on the battlefield, less time in the matchmaking queue, and get to the fun more quickly in cases where creating a full match may take longer than expected.
===Sound===
* Deployment Selection: A sound effect will now play to notify Candidates that Deployment Selection has begun.
* Emotes: Inside Vault 51, Emote music and sound effects will become quieter or stop playing the farther a Candidate moves away from someone who uses an Emote.
* Overseer Tickets: New sound effects have been added that will play when earning or spending Overseer Tickets in Nuclear Winter.
===User interface===
* Tutorials: New tutorial entries have been added to the Terminals in Vault 51 that offer instructions for the Choose Your Perks, Color-Coded Item Rarity, and Map Voting features.
