Outlaw’s Haven Upgrades to ‘UEFN’ in This Next-Generation Update
WELCOME TO UEFN
With 1.7, Outlaw’s Haven has officially upgraded to UEFN, moving away from the old Fortnite Creative ecosystem with 1.0 tools.
Now, possibilities are more endless than ever, with a full revamp of the entire internal inner workings of Outlaw’s Haven. This update has taken a long time to get right, and we have spent months trying to get it into a stable release ready for launch.
From the ground up, we have deleted every single mechanic and programming in the game and created it again from scratch, allowing for easier bug fixes, stable performance, efficient workflows and most importantly: a better, more intuitive Outlaw’s experience.
next-generation graphics 🔥
Outlaw’s Haven now takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 5.1, Nanite and Lumen.
With the upgrade to UEFN, we have enabled next-gen graphics that take the game to the forefront of technology, redesigning the landscaping and design of the map to develop a new art style that merges photorealism and the classic Fortnite cartoon style.

Thanks to the revamped mechanics, Jobs are now easier than ever to find, join and keep track of.
Respawning is a thing of the past - now, a beacon will lead you to the nearest job, opening a menu that explains what the job entails, how much Gold you will be paid, and what items you receive for taking on the job.
Once accepted, you will not respawn, instead it will be immediately granted to you, saving time, frustration and making the gameplay feel 10x smoother. Your job change will be reflected in-game in the elimination feed, for all players to see.

The terrain around the map has been redesigned from the ground up, completely replacing the old Waterfall area, and replacing it with a genuine mountain range that can be climbed up.
We have moved the map barriers to allow players full exploration of this new location, and if you manage to get to the highest point of the map (The Summit), we have a special reward for you. Be warned: it’s extremely difficult to get up there.
-
1.7.3 for Outlaw’s Haven is now available, bringing a large range of quality of life changes to take full advantage of the UEFN Beta.
With performance optimization, bug fixes and polishing of classic features, the first update of 2024 is here with a bang. Now, once you get paid, experience a rare event, or achieve roleplay features, a brand new UI popup will alert you - allowing you to keep track of events with ease.

LUMBERJACK
In the Forest, you will find a job offer for a new career - the Lumberjack role! Being self-sufficient is important in this demanding role, as players are handed nothing but an axe and dozens of trees to cut down.
As you collect Wood from trees, make sure to hit the precise spot to double your intake. Sell wood at the nearby Lumberjack Cabin in order to get Gold.
