The latest patch from Poppy's Playtime Chapter 4 arrived on March 6 and, in addition to some bigger updates, it's added something fans didn't even realize they wanted. The latest chapter in the hit mascot horror game dives deeper into the abandoned Playtime facilities, where players are ed by some new friends, and a few touch new enemies. Patch 6 is a "small" update, but it includes several welcome additions and bug fixes to the game, including a fun new feature that lets players get destructive when they reach the Labs area.

According to the patch notes shared to Reddit by ALin0_666 — be forewarned that the spoiler tags in this post have been revealed, so there are some spoilers in the screenshots from Chapter 4 — the update was mostly meant to address "bug fixes, visual glitches, and boss fight adjustments." However, it also added a surprise that fans weren't expecting: "Added the ability for players to burn the poppy flowers in the Lab’s entrance."

Poppy Playtime Update 6 Lets Players Burn The Poppies In Front Of The Labs

It's Something A Lot Of Fans Try To Do

Poppy Playtime, titled Safe Haven, takes players deeper into the Playtime Co. factory, progressing the story and uncovering plenty of new lore. Along their adventure, players will make their way to the entrance of Lab-4, known simply as "the Labs" in the game. The entrance to the Labs is lined on both sides by planters with poppy flowers growing out of them.

These poppies are the ones getting singled out to get singed in the March 6 update. The addition may seem random, but trying to burn these delightful red flowers is something most of us are guilty of.

"...The first thing everyone did when entering that room was shoot the flare gun at the flowers."

The change was likely made by Mob Entertainment in response to player behavior, as Redditor Jofus002 says: "They probably noticed that the first thing everyone did when entering that room was shoot the flare gun at them." Post-patch, it's now possible to actually set the flowers on fire, robbing the underground facilities of the last bit of nature to reach the depths.
