The second major update, dubbed "1.2, Sunken Treasure" released on November 6th, 2022. The update was originally planned for an April 2020 release but was put on hold.

Trivia
- The map was in development for 334 days.
- Many of the map's notes and graffiti are references to various internet memes or bugs in development.
- The business "Boardwalk Burgers" is a reference to the Official Podcast, and the copypasta associated with it.
- The majority of the Moai statues face the centre of the island. This is to mirror the real world Easter Island, where all but one Ahu; Ahu Akivi (Group of Moai), face inland.
- The in-game portrayal of Terevaka shows it as a violently active volcano, this is despite the real-world classification of "extinct".
- According to the map's developers, the choice to make Terevaka active was to make the map more exciting, and unique.
- Terevaka's activity was also decided upon to help differentiate the map from Hawaii, as Hawaii's volcanic activity is less volatile.
- The weather outpost was originally going to host a small band of survivors.
- The central storyline would have focused on repairing the weather station and contacting the mainland.
- Sub-plots would have focused on one of the 3 NPCs and built up their character.
