Good day, fighters!

Today we’ve released update 0.59.4, which includes a number of fixes and minor improvements aimed at enhancing game stability.



Changelog:

• Fixed a bug where muzzle flash particles from certain submachine guns continued to display even after stopping fire.
• Resolved an issue that prevented the placement of a firing position in the “Foothills” location.
• Made design adjustments in the “Solnechny” location — minor visual flaws have been fixed.
• Fixed shooting animations for the GSh-18 pistol.
• Corrected errors in the 3D preview of the “Newbie Biker” outfit set.
• Various minor bugs fixed and overall game stability improved.

Make sure to update your game client.

Good day, fighters!

Today, we released update 0.59.3, primarily focused at fixing various bugs and implementing some useful improvements.



As part of this patch, we continued our work on optimizing sound and shot processing, which should positively impact the stability of the Adventure mode.

Changes have also been made to the rewards for successfully completing Adventures: instead of the “Advanced Medkit,” players will now receive a new item — the “Adventure Medkit.” In terms of healing properties, it is similar to the advanced medkit, but with an additional effect — it removes burns.

Please note: this medkit cannot be placed in the account inventory, as it will not be available for purchase in the store and is currently obtainable only through Adventure mode.

Extensive work has been done to fix various issues, correct location design bugs, and implement other minor improvements aimed at enhancing the overall game quality.

Also, we’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the fighters on the upcoming International Cosmonautics Day!

For those who might have “slightly forgotten” the history, here’s a quick reminder of the significance of this remarkable date in human history.

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin became the first human in the world to travel into space. His legendary flight aboard the Vostok-1 spacecraft, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, marked the beginning of a new era in space exploration.

To commemorate this event, a special themed spray can — “Cosmonautics Day” — has been added to the in-game store for all space enthusiasts! The spray can will be available for a limited time, so don’t miss your chance to decorate your weapon.

Good day, fighters!

Welcome update 0.59.1! Stock up on burn ointment — you’ll need it more than ever because this update brings something new and hot!




In the remote corners of the “Tunnels” location, you can now encounter the Adventure Master. He is ready to take you on a journey aboard his railcar, sending you on a distant adventure in search of unique experiences, freebies, and riches!

In the first adventure (and there are more to come!), you’ll have to fight your way through portals, battling hordes of monsters, until you finally come face to face with the fiery embodiment of terror—the Gibliont!
To embark on an adventure, players must apply through the Arena Master. For this, we have created a special interface.



Characters who have already participated in the event are automatically placed on a blacklist for 24 hours and cannot reapply for the same adventure. Players who have applied but did not make it into the adventure can simply wait for the next group—no need to submit another application. However, to avoid missing your turn and ensure your departure, you must stay in the “Tunnels” location and keep an eye on the recruitment process.

Requirements for Adventure #1:
• Character Level: 20-50
• Minimum Players Required: 15
• Maximum Players Allowed: 20
• Adventure Participation Limit: 1 time per day per character

During the adventure, players can earn a variety of consumables and useful items, including repair kits to restore weapons and armor after battles, as well as improve repair skill.

But that’s not all! Among the rewards, you may also find weapons such as the VSS “Vintorez”, “Zastava”, SPAS-12, and UMP, all featuring unique M3 modifications.

Modification parameters of these guns are dynamically generated, making each weapon unique in its characteristics. Furthermore, these weapons can be upgraded (M6 and beyond), allowing them to remain relevant even at higher levels, competing with level 35 weapons. At the same time, they are cheaper, easier to maintain, and use more accessible ammunition.

Please understand that this adventure may contain bugs, minor issues, and potential balance adjustments. However, in our opinion, its difficulty level is not excessively high, so complaints like “this is impossible to complete” will not be considered.


Our team agrees with players that hip-fire shooting in the game was overly simplified, making weapons feel weightless and the mechanics too casual. While we recognize that some players prefer this style, we decided to listen to the part of the community that seeks a more realistic and tactile combat experience.



As a result, we have reworked the shooting animation. Now, it features a more noticeable visual recoil, making it feel much heavier and impactful, rather than resembling shots from a water gun. This adjustment affects all weapons in the game.

Additionally, we have improved burst-fire efficiency for most automatic weapons. The first 2–3 shots will now have maximum accuracy with minimal recoil buildup and spread. This change ensures that firing in short bursts remains highly effective.

We hope you enjoy this update, and that these animation improvements positively enhance your gameplay experience!


In this update, we have significantly redesigned the in-game store, making it more user-friendly for navigating through categories. We’ve also introduced several useful improvements, including one-click purchases and other small tweaks to enhance overall convenience and usability.

Additionally, a new affordable armor set, the “Newbie Biker Set”, has been added in several color variations. This set is designed for players who have reached level 7 and serves as an excellent alternative to the “Gorka” suit. It offers slightly improved environmental protection and significantly reduced wear and tear.




We have made improvements to the reward system for the losing side in battles within the “Foothills” location. Previously, players who lost a match could receive only 30% of the total reward pool, calculated based on the points they earned. Now, this rate has been increased to 60%, ensuring that players receive fair compensation for their efforts, even in defeat. We believe this change will boost player motivation, especially for those who previously lost interest in battles, and will make fights more fair and intense.

Additionally, the list of allowed equipment for placement in the “Foothills” has been adjusted: only caches (including premium ones), MHP, and mortars can now be deployed. Other equipment, including campfire kits, is now prohibited.


• A cat has been added. You can pet it.
• Radios in settlements can now be turned on and off. If it’s bothering you, just walk up and switch it off.
• Improved terrain in the “Eastern Territories” location in the habitat area of Armaturich: more vegetation has been added, making it less barren.
• Fixed design issues in the following locations: “Testing Grounds,” “Minaev’s Territory,” “Swamp,” and “Foothills.”
• Optimized light sources in the “Tunnels” location and added lighting at the quartermaster’s station in “Minaev’s Territory.”
• It no longer rains inside Uncle Borya’s bar.
• The reconnaissance drone no longer triggers MON-50 mine detonation when flying nearby.
• Reworked RPG-7 animations.
• Adjusted RPG-7 reticle.
• Fixed issues in the Chinese localization.
• Fixed a bug where backpack straps were not properly colored on female characters of the “Prospector” class.
• Improved female character models.
• Fixed issues with simultaneously using a stationary machine gun and a motorcycle.
• Corrected minor typos in Russian quest texts.
• Fixed the star display on the “Parade Ushanka” for female characters.
• Improved NPC animations (merchants and others) — they now look at the player and appear more lifelike.
• Fixed numerous minor bugs and inconsistencies.

The servers will be taken down for the update. Don’t forget to update your game client!

Good day, fighters!

The Lunar New Year sale and event have come to an end. We hope many of you managed to complete the Old man’s tasks, as with today’s update, he leaves the game, and all thematic items—fillers, fireworks, and others—disappear along with him.

Alongside this, we’ve prepared several improvements already waiting for you in the game! 🚀




The "Foothills" location has received significant updates! In the control point capture zones, we’ve added many new objects, cover spots, buildings, and elevation changes, making battles even more exciting!
We’ve also fixed a number of minor design flaws: removed unnecessary rocks in some areas, revised the spawn points for "Radio" anomalies, and made other improvements.

Work on the location continues, and there’s still a lot of exciting stuff to come!




In this update, we’ve reworked the rain: removed the so-called "spaghetti" effect, made the ground wetter, and added more realism. The final result is atmospheric and perfectly captures the grim spirit of the post-apocalypse! 🔥🤗



It’s worth noting that the new rain, despite its higher-quality implementation, doesn’t require more resources than its previous version. If we observe 100 FPS without rain on our test configuration, with rain in the same place and at the same time, we get 95 FPS, which doesn’t critically impact performance.




Test configuration:

• Graphics Quality: 2560x1080 Ultra
• AMD FSR: Off
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce 3060
• RAM: 16 GB

Please note: if TemporalAA anti-aliasing is turned off in your graphics settings, the rain may appear "rougher" than when it’s enabled.

Additionally, due to the nature of AMD FSR upscaling algorithms, the rain may not display perfectly when FSR is enabled. This is a natural and expected phenomenon related to how the technology works.



The system for obtaining faction chevrons has been changed. Now, if you’re supposed to receive a chevron for killing a faction enemy, you don’t need to loot the backpack—it will automatically appear in your inventory (if there’s free space). Essentially, the game now has "auto-loot" for chevrons, which significantly simplifies clan progression and the completion of clan quests. Additionally, chevrons obtained this way no longer drop upon character death.
However, restrictions on interacting with chevrons have been introduced: they cannot be traded with other players, exchanged in barter, dropped on the ground, placed in regular stashes, sold, listed on the commission, etc., but they can be destroyed. This means that clan development will now rely on a more convenient way of collecting chevrons and completing clan quests, rather than trading them.

• Added new objects to the "Solnechniy Outskirts" location. We continue to enrich the game world, making it more interesting.
• Fixed issues with the "Foothills" sublocation loading while using a drone. This time, completely.
• Improved the sandstorm mechanics in the "Canyon" location. Fixed the issue where the storm would stop if the character took cover.
• Reduced the blast radius of RPG projectiles.
• Fixed various minor design errors in different locations.

Please update client of the game!

Good day, fighters!

Today, we have released update 0.58.10, which fixes numerous bugs, adds new quests, and launches the Lunar New Year sale!




The Lunar New Year sale has already begun! Along with it, the Old Man in White Robe has appeared in all settlements of the Will To Live Online world!



By completing the Old man’s tasks, you can earn premium paint cans representing the five elements: fire, metal, water, earth, and wood! These cans can be applied to weapons such as the MSR-10, MSR-12, L96A1, Vepr-12, and PDW. To appease the elemental spirits and obtain the paint, you’ll need to find fillers and create fireworks. Fillers can be exchanged with the Old man.

You can collect fillers until February 9 inclusive, Moscow time (more precisely, until February 10 at 03:00 Moscow time). After the event ends, all fillers will be removed from the game.


With the start of the sale, a new item has appeared in the in-game store—a beautiful solution to any verbal disputes: the Golden Knuckle! In honor of the sale, it’s available at a great discount!



List of categories included in the sale:

• Golden Knuckle
  
• Lunar New Year items (paints, paint sets, and snack sets)
  
• Premium weapon paint
  
• "Master" repair kits for weapons and clothing
  
• Mopeds
  
• Gas masks
  
• Pickaxe
  
• "Udav Special" bundle

• Several quests (notes) have been added to the bus station in the "Eastern Territories" location. These quests are designed for players level 16 and above and have no special requirements.
  
• A new NPC has appeared in the "Black Sunset" camp. Quests for this NPC will be added in future updates. He’s not very welcoming.
  
• Minor design errors in the "Foothills" location have been fixed.
  
• Drones can no longer be launched in bad weather (heavy rain or sandstorms).
  
• Fixed an issue with the "Big Matador" event in the "Canyon" location, where using an RPG allowed players to complete the event too quickly.
  
• Improved character death animations. We’ve added more physical interaction to them.
  
• Improved death animations for characters killed while riding a motorcycle.
  
• According to our statistics, the "Symbiont" event in the "Bunker" location is too easy. Despite level restrictions, players are completing it too quickly. We’ve decided to double the Symbiont’s health and increase its armor. The event is now available for players before level 40 (previously level 30).
  
• Character death now causes a slight feeling of hunger. As you know, food can not only restore health but also increase its maximum (until the first death). This change will allow players to use food after each death.

• The balance of RPGs and MON-50 mines has always sparked heated discussions in our community, so we’ve made the following changes:
  
• Significantly increased the cost of RPG ammunition.
  
• Reduced the chance of RPG ammunition dropping from NPCs in the "Proving Grounds" location.
  
• MON-50 mines now require character level 20.
  
• MON-50 mines now cost 1500 tokens.

The update is now available for download—update your game client!

Good day, fighters! 🫡

Did you manage to exchange your gift cards? The Smuggler and the festive decorations stayed in the game longer than we promised. Today, we’ve released patch version 0.58.9, which removes the Smuggler and all unused gift cards and introduces some changes.




• The sandstorm in the Canyon location has been significantly reworked.
It now looks much better and more realistic. At the same time, the storm has become harsher. These weather conditions will make close-combat classes more in demand. Additionally, the storm is now less demanding on PC characteristics.



• Some caves in the Canyon location now provide shelter from the sandstorm, improving gameplay during cave battles.
• Optimized several objects for better performance.
• The position of the Matador event in the Foothills location has been slightly adjusted.
• Cosmetic changes have been made to the game’s main menu.
• The character editor has also received cosmetic updates.



• Minor design issues in the Foothills location have been fixed.
• Various other minor fixes have been implemented.

Greetings, fighters! Today, we’ve released Update 0.58.8, which marks the start of the winter event!


The winter world boss, the Frost Deer, returns with some changes to its combat mechanics and rewards. Battles with the Frost Deer are now even more festive and fun! But that doesn’t mean it has become weaker or kinder. It will definitely be fun, though!



The Frost Deer can now only be encountered at night, just like other seasonal bosses. As before, defeating this mighty creature allows players to earn the most gift cards, which can be exchanged for various presents from the Smuggler, who has appeared in all settlements. Additionally, defeating the Frost Deer rewards players with various useful resources, festive snacks, and, on rare occasions, a spray can of “Frost” paint.



At the Smuggler, you can exchange gift cards for a new weapon skin – “Snowman Rage.” This skin features animated and sound effects during intense shooting. However, the “Frost” skin is no longer available for exchange, but as mentioned earlier, it can still be earned as a reward for defeating the Frost Deer.



Additionally, the Smuggler offers holiday snacks, a Frost Bat, and the S&W .500 Special in its standard finish, which is currently available in the game only through the Smuggler. The S&W .500 Special is also included in the holiday bundle available in the in-game store. In these bundles, the revolvers feature premium “Gold” and “Silver” skins, allowing them to be added to the account inventory.
The event begins with the release of the update and will run until January 9th, 2025, inclusive (09/01/2025 19:00 UTC).


• New cover objects have been added to points C and F in the “Foothills” location.
• If an enemy is marked using a designator and then killed by another player from your faction, you will receive 1 additional point.
• Fixed an issue where characters could not interact with campfires while using emotes.
• Minor adjustments to the reload animation of the L96A1 have been made.
• Fixed an issue where medical items could not be used in certain situations.

Good day, fighters! 🫡

Today we’ve released a hotfix for version 0.58.7 with the following changes:
• Fixed overly dark nights in the game. In previous updates, we had already made the nights brighter, but in the latest version, this feature didn’t work as intended. We’ve corrected it now, and nights should once again be more comfortable to navigate. 😊
• Adjusted rewards for faction wars in the “Foothills” location. Based on player feedback, we’ve rebalanced the rewards. The drop rate for modification parts is now 100% (though the quantity may vary), and the drop rate for other reward items is now over 50%. Please note that we aim to maintain the rarity and exclusivity of modified armor, so the idea of scarcity for these parts will remain.
• Changed how points are awarded when using drones during blockpost wars. Destroying an enemy drone now grants up to 5% of the maximum capture points (in the “Foothills” location, this is up to 50 points), while destroying a friendly drone will deduct points. Additionally, if you kill a character that was spotted by a drone, the drone’s owner will receive 1 extra capture point for assistance.

The update is now available for download. Update your game client and get back into the action! 💥

Greetings, Fighters! 🫡

Update 0.58.7 is now available for download, bringing new features and various improvements. Let’s dive into the details. 💥




In this update, we’ve introduced the ability to modify your clothes, enhancing your protective stats. You can modify any piece of your equipment: helmets, body armor, pants, and boots. Even non-faction armor is eligible for modification. If you wish, you can even modify felt boots! However, an exception applies to armor plates — they cannot be modified. 🛡️

To modify any part of your equipment, you’ll first need to craft a clothing modification kit. Be warned: crafting a modification kit is no easy task—it demands skill, determination, and absolutely no tolerance for weakness! ⚒️

Before creating a clothing modification kit, you’ll need to acquire the recipe for crafting one. This recipe can be found with some chance in airdrops. Once you’ve obtained the recipe and installed it in your PDA, you’ll need to gather all the required components to assemble the kit. Two new items are now included in the list of required materials: Clothes Modification Blueprint and Armor Modification Parts.

• Clothes Modification Blueprint can be acquired by successfully completing Matador Events in the “Foothills” location.
• Armor Modification Parts are rewards for participating in blockpost defense battles in the “Foothills.” They are included in the loot for successfully capturing a blockpost.

Each kit applies two modifications simultaneously, altering the armor stats and durability. You can apply a maximum of two kits per piece of clothing, allowing up to four modifications (M4) per item.

Typically, applying a kit will enhance the protective stats of your gear at the expense of durability. However, in some cases, both protection and durability can improve. The maximum possible enhancement for armor stats is 20%.


Significant updates have been made to the scoring system in this location. The system is now more adaptive, rewarding players with more points on average for actions that benefit their faction. Additionally, we have substantially reduced the point requirements for rewards from blockpost captures—nearly by half. At the same time, we’ve reworked the configuration and content of these rewards, introducing armor modification kit parts, along with repair kits for weapons and armor. This change aims to help players partially restore their equipment after intense PvP battles. Also we’ve increased points accumulation Speed during capturing.

Overall, the reward system in the Foothills has become more generous and fair to players who actively participate in faction conflicts.

We’ve also adjusted the prices offered by traders at blockposts in this location. Now, trading and selling loot to these merchants is as profitable as it is in the Canyon location. 💰


This version introduces numerous improvements to the drone control interface, enhancing the marker system and enemy scanning functionality. Additionally, we’ve added the ability to repair drones independently using iSAAC through the character’s inventory. You’ll no longer need a second engineer to fix your drone, though repairs now consume more iSAAC.
Key changes include:

• The quick-access panel now indicates whether the drone is equipped with a grenade.
• Friendly drones show a green indicator during target scans, while enemy drones show red, making it easier to identify who is conducting reconnaissance.
• The drone control tablet now displays your group members, improving coordination during group activities.

To balance the simplified repair mechanics, drones now take significantly more damage from other players, meaning they can be destroyed much faster. If an opponent destroys your drone, it will no longer return to your inventory—it will be permanently lost.

Additionally, the number of points earned by drones during blockpost captures has been reduced. While we’re glad to see players utilizing drones for their excellent point-earning potential, they should not become the sole strategy for amassing large amounts of points.


In addition to armor modifications, this update brings a range of significant changes aimed at enhancing gameplay and balancing the game:

• Adjustments to .308 M1/S1 Ammunition: In version 0.58.2, penetration was increased to 98 (up from the original 85). In this version, penetration has been reduced to 90, as the Mercenary class had become overly powerful at medium and close ranges. This change is expected to affect combat between Mercenaries and Miners, especially with the introduction of armor modifications. However, the impact on other classes should be minimal due to their use of light and medium armor.
• Reduced Recoil for MSR-10: While penetration has been slightly decreased, shooting performance has been improved.
• Increased PvP Damage for MSR-12: This adjustment aims to make the rifle more viable in PvP scenarios.
• Reduced Initial Bullet Velocity for 12-Gauge Ammunition.
• Grenade Skill Enhancements: Upgrading your grenade skill now affects not only throw accuracy (even for smoke grenades) but also damage. A mastered grenade skill ensures more consistent damage close to the maximum.
• Soon will be added a new Grenade - RG-60TB: This thermobaric grenade completely ignores armor but lacks shrapnel damage and includes a burn effect.
• Fixed an issue where leg fractures were not applied after grenade explosions.
• Airdrop Content Update: Added a new module with PDA recipes required for crafting armor modification kits.
• Female Character Models: Resolved several issues with animations and visuals.
• Target Marker Duration: Marker lifespans have been reduced to reflect their rapidly changing relevance.
• Stationary Machine Guns: Players can now aim while using these weapons.
• Minor bugs in various locations and issues with certain materials have been fixed.
• Dynamic Lighting Option: The “Full Dynamic Lighting” setting in graphics now toggles dynamic shadows in the game.

These changes, while diverse, aim to improve gameplay balance and quality across various aspects of the game.

Good day, fighters! 🫡

Today, we’ve released update 0.58.6, which fixes some bugs and issues while improving game stability. 🎮 Along with this, we are already testing the next game version and preparing a New Year event, which is expected to launch by the end of December. 🎄🎉

Best wishes,
Your WTLOnline Team.
