Trench Decay Updates
Track beta patches, hotfixes, and major themes like the Big Bertha update.
TRENCH: DECAY is in active early-access beta on Roblox, built by studio rook. (solo developer TemmieTerra). Updates ship often — sometimes with server restarts — and progress generally saves unless a wipe is announced. This hub collects major patch write-ups so you can see what changed before you queue another squad run.
Because the game blends WW1 trench combat, gas hazards, online co-op extractions, and a Live War Map every server shares, even small tuning passes can shift which firearms and melee tools community tier lists recommend. Bookmark this page and cross-check Tier List rankings after each entry.
Featured update pages
Detailed breakdowns live on child pages. Start here:
- Big Bertha Update — The largest recent content theme: artillery pressure, objective pacing, crate pool shifts, and squad adjustments players felt immediately in beta lobbies.
- Secret Update Guide — How unannounced beta patches and milestone code drops land, plus the post-restart checklist (recheck codes, Preferences, loadouts) every squad should run.
- 1M Visits & Front Page Milestone — Visit surge, front-page codes (1MVISITS, FRONTPAGEREWARD), BETA 1.1.4 context, and how noisier pubs change extract habits.
More one-off hotfix summaries will land on this hub as studio rook. publishes them. When a patch only tweaks UI or code redemption, we note it inline rather than spawning a full article.
What counts as a major update here
We create a dedicated page when an update changes how squads play, not just numbers on a spreadsheet:
| Signal | Example impact |
|---|---|
| New systems | Artillery telegraphs, revised extract gates |
| Crate or medal economy | New Enlisted Firearms or Melee pools |
| Map or Live War Map rules | Front movement bonuses, sector locks |
| Balance overhauls | Shotgun falloff, bolt-action handling |
| New codes bundled with patches | Medal floods that reshape early loadouts — see Codes |
| Secret or milestone drops | Visit-target promos and silent hotfixes — see Secret Update |
Minor bugfix strings (“FIXES!”) still matter — join Discord for instant notes — but this wiki focuses on player-facing meta shifts.
How to stay current between wiki edits
- Join the studio rook. Roblox group — Required for many promo codes tied to updates.
- Watch the official Discord — Codes and downtime often post before store descriptions update.
- Re-run the Commissar tutorial after long breaks — Control reminders live in Preferences Menu.
- Compare tier lists pre- and post-patch — Weapons, Melee, and Loadouts pages call out Big Bertha-sensitive picks.
- Follow the secret-update checklist — Restart client, redeem Codes, refresh Preferences, audit loadouts, then scout one extract.
Beta version context
Public descriptions have referenced builds like BETA 1.1.4. Version strings can change weekly. Treat build numbers as snapshots, not promises — the authoritative signal is patch behavior in-game after restart.
Early beta also means frequent restarts. If an update drops mid-session, finish extracts when safe, redeem any new Codes, then relaunch so client and server match.
Live War Map and patch interplay
Updates do not only retune guns. They can alter how victories compress or expand the Live War Map. Squads extracting during a patch window should read whether:
- Front bonuses reset or persist across restarts
- Gas patterns changed on legacy sectors
- New objectives require different role splits from Squad Roles
When in doubt, run one low-risk public squad to scout changes before burning premium crate keys.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How often does Trench Decay update?
The developer ships frequent beta updates, sometimes with server restarts. Check this hub and Discord when the game title flag changes.
Will updates wipe my progress?
Progress saves during early beta unless studio rook. announces a wipe. Major updates like Big Bertha have not implied a full reset by default.
Where do I find new codes after a patch?
Redeem on the Updates-linked Codes page and official Discord. Many codes drop alongside major pushes and secret milestone events.
Do I need to redo tier lists after every hotfix?
Only after changes that touch weapons, melee, crates, or objectives. Cosmetic-only patches rarely move rankings.
What was the Big Bertha update about?
It is the headline artillery-themed major patch — see the dedicated Big Bertha page for mechanics, squad impact, and tier shifts.
What is the Secret Update guide for?
It covers unannounced beta patches, milestone code drops, and the checklist to run after restarts — recheck codes, Preferences, and loadouts.
What is the 1M Visits page about?
It documents the visit and front-page surge, related codes like 1MVISITS and FRONTPAGEREWARD, and how noisier public lobbies change extract habits.
