Patch history

Out of all Fuel items, the Newspaper provides one of the smallest amounts of fuel (tied with the Wanted Poster). The newspaper has multiple variations, each one with different news printed on the front. This includes the initial attacks. Before the 2/5/2025 bullets were unable to go through newspapes. The developers nerfed them later, making bullets able to travel through them. The Newspaper about Lincoln actually has a darker color compared to the others. This is likely intended to represent the wear it went through during the long period of time since its publication date. Only 2 variants of the Newspaper can be found during gameplay. These include the one with the "CURE FOUND!" headline and the one with the "LINCOLN'S TRAIN GONE!" headline. The latter is called "LincolnsNewspaper" in the files, while the former is simply called "Newspaper" Category:Fuels Category:Junk
