Something that players have already noticed to be missing from the lineup is the surfboard which we once saw before, Hypex replied and stated that they must have scrapped it once again. However, players are still getting some really cool items, nevertheless. Not only is the Flare Gun replaced with Fireworks, but there are many new summery-looking things coming, including a new summer item shop background to give the best summer vibes.
