California 2 is a curated map by August, Clue, Nolam, Spebby, Sultan, and Tiway.
We're proud to unveil 6+ years of work and collaboration on Unturned's biggest and most content-packed map of all time: welcome to the Golden State of California!
DEEP ENDGAME: The extensive progression doesn't end at the first or even second tier of Deadzone, but goes further, offering bigger and better rewards for those willing to take risks.
PVE FRIENDLY: With several NPC safezones offering 100+ quests and countless activities, easter eggs, secrets, storylines, and hidden locations to discover you'll be kept plenty busy.
TRULY MASSIVE: At roughly 6x the size of California 1 this is far more than a remaster, it's our greatest undertaking to date. (That's not even counting the underground and secret out-of-bounds areas!)
BESPOKE SOUNDTRACK: Enjoy new music for many unique areas of the map!
TRANSLATED: All of the map's text is translated into Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Ukranian!
Support the map's developers with the Red Mystery Box, Red Bundle, Operator Bundle, Blue Mystery Box, Blue Bundle, and Crystalmancer Bundle!
Release Info
What is a curated map?
Curated maps are high-quality, community-led projects integrated into the game through the Steam Workshop. Throughout development we introduce new features to accomplish the team's vision, pushing forward the boundaries of the game's modding support.
Newly released curated maps are automatically downloaded with the base game while they're being promoted. They can also be installed or uninstalled at any time through the curated map's Steam Workshop page or from your in-game mod list.
How do I report a bug I found on California 2?
Report bugs directly to the map's authors on the Steam Workshop page.
How do I share feedback about California 2?
You can share feedback on the Steam Workshop page!
How do I play California 2 on my multiplayer server?
- Install the map by adding its Workshop file ID (
3707778928) to your server'sWorkshopDownloadConfig.jsonfile. - Load the map on startup by adding the
Map California2option to your server'sCommands.datfile.
California 2 has a single dependency – similar to maps like Hawaii – being the map assets/bundles. Your server should automatically download this dependency. If not, you can manually add its Workshop file ID (3711646503) as well.
Can I preserve my 100% completion status without returning to the game?
Players with 100% completion status who moved on from the game—Unturned is more than 11 years old now!—have shared feedback they want to maintain their 100% status without playing new maps. As a compromise, we've added an -UnlockSteamAchievements command-line flag to unlock all Steam achievements. To use this, add the flag (without quotes) to the game's launch options and run Unturned.
Our best wishes and good luck to everyone playing through the map to unlock the achievements, have fun!
Was the "Environmental" teaser video for this map?
Yes! Several of the environments you can explore in California 2 were teased in that video.
