The new Survarium Leagues Season has started and will last until February 29! Participate in ranking battles to earn the tokens and obtain unique weapons and equipment!



· Your character needs to have tier 3 (or higher) equipment profile to participate. Players with tier 3, 4 and 5 equipment will be put in the same matches. The matchmaking uses Elo rating to balance the teams.
· The following locations and game modes are available in this season:
· Rudnya: Battery Retrieval, Research.
· School: Team Deathmatch, Battery Retrieval, Research, Search and Destroy.
· Vostok Radar Station: Team Deathmatch, Battery Retrieval, Research, Search and Destroy.

· When losing a match and ranking stars, your rank may be lowered, but you will not lose ranks at rank 5 or below. Note: you can move down from rank 1.
· When a season ends you receive tokens: a special league currency. The higher the rank you achieved during the season, the more tokens you are awarded.
· If the ranking match search is disabled for you, open the Season League tab (the cup icon in the upper-right corner of the screen) and return to lobby or restart the game client.

Good luck in the ranking battles!

Our chief Admin Chandrian took some time to write down his thoughts on one of the most controversial topics in Survarium. Below you can read his article.

I believe that the game's Premium items don't give an advantage over users who are choosing not to pay. The system doesn't force you to pay to be competitive. Every Premium item has a free counterpart with identical stats and is available as a reward in Treasure Hunt.

The Premium weapons come with an exclusive camouflage, 3 modifiers added to them (which the free users can have too), modules (that free users can win in matches, craft or buy with gold) and around +25% Silver/Exp/Reputation gain.



Premium equipment can also be obtained as loot drops by playing the PvE game mode on Hard difficulty.



You get weapon modules for every PvP win and no module is exclusive to real money currency. Modules can be added for free. They can also be removed for free, but remain linked to the weapon you installed them on, or you can un-link them with gold.
You can also craft weapon modules by using Spare Parts, cost ranges from 100 to 200.



Treasure Hunt works by using Stash maps, and gives preference to temporary stash maps over the permanent ones.

• You can get two temporary ones every week at a 20% chance for each PvP match you play. They'll be marked inside the brackets in the Treasure Hunt window.
  
• You can also get permanent Stash maps that you can store for a higher chance at winning the Ultra-rare weapon in Treasure Hunt. They'll be marked outside of the brackets.

You can get these permanent Stash maps for completing Daily Quests or playing PvE missions on Medium (0.5% chance for each collected cache) or Hard difficulty (1% chance for each collected cache).



There is also a thing called Premium Account. It adds +50% Silver, Reputation, Experience and Spare parts and +90 presets.



Free players can receive vouchers to activate such an account in the seasonal events, Daily Quests, Treasure Hunt or for daily logins.



There is Gold currency in the game that you can use to upgrade your weapons or to buy Premium items. You can get 20 gold on 7th daily login. This might seem like a small amount, but it can be used for the occasional 100% chance upgrade for modules, Premium weapon lottery and more.



There is Premium ammo. One box can be applied to main weapons or pistols and will last for 1 match. Each box has a price of 10 gold or can be won in matches or PvE; in matches a certain score threshold is required to get the best generation, but you can get more than 1 box per match. These ammo boxes do not increase the damage of the weapon or the rate of fire. Instead, they can increase muzzle velocity (so bullets will reach the target faster), material penetration (so you will be able to deal damage or more damage if the enemy is behind an object), effective distance (so the reduced damage multiplier will be applied farther away) or bleed chance. Veteran players tend to use them in Leagues.


Premium ammo shown in the screenshot above is worth 10 gold

There are Silver and Gold boosters, all of them last for one match when activated.

• Silver boosters improve character stats like hp regeneration, re-spawn time, scope sway or movement speed.
  
• Gold boosters increase Experience, Silver and Reputation gained. But even these can be acquired in Team Missions, Daily Quests, Treasure Hunt or for daily logins.

Modules have different rarities, raging from Factory (green) to Master-craft (purple). There are Premium “Special” rarity modules that share their stats with Military rarity (red), except for cosmetic changes like the color option on collimators, which for free users is available with Master-craft rarity (purple). It's worth noting that Master-craft rarity cannot be purchased directly even if you spend Gold, it needs to be crafted. A Factory rarity module can have a very good positive stat, but its negative stat might be worse; a Military rarity module can have a poor positive stat, but its negative stat will be almost non-existent.

Now that V0.61 has been out for a few weeks it is time we ask for your feedback, questions and suggestions. Please email them to jm(at)vostokgames(dot)com with the subject line "Survarium 61 Survey". We look forward to your emails!

The List of Changes in Survarium 0.61b
Holiday Season is upon us, and we are bringing back Guns Race event game mode to Survarium! Play in PvP game modes, receive holiday currency (snowflakes, pine trees and stars) and exchange it for the equipment with unique holiday camos! The higher you place after a match, the more currency you get!

New year event in Survarium

- Everything mentioned below is only available during the Holiday Season event!
- Play matches in the Guns Race event game mode, receive holiday currency: snowflakes, pine trees and stars. The higher you place in a match, the more currency you get! You can earn event currency in other PvP modes, but you will get less than in the Guns Race.
- Exchange the currency for the equipment with unique holiday camos: Snow-20 set (tier 4), SVD "Snow-20" (tier 4) and decal "Year of the Rat" (+5% to reputation and expierence). Snow-20 set has a unique mask looking like night vision goggles.
- Only during the Holiday season to celebrate the New Year 2020 "Year of the Rat" decal will provide +20% to reputation and +20% to expierence!
- Guns Race is all-versus-all game mode, so every other player will try to frag you.
- Before each match an equipment tier (from 1 to 5) is randomly selected, and a list of this tier's weapons is generated. The last ones on the list are always a snowball and an icicle which one shot an enemy. However, it's not that easy to get a hit with the snowball, and the icicle works only in melee.
- Kill opponents to get the next weapon on the list. Melee kills let you advance through the list faster, but if someone kills you in melee, you roll back to the previous weapon on the list. The player to make the kill with the last weapon on the list wins.
- You will receive a holiday hat for the first win in a PvP-match!





Holiday Season Treasure Hunt

- Holiday Season Treasure Hunt will be available during the holiday event, replacing the usual Treasure Hunt. Don't forget to receive all the rewards you can before the event starts and the Treasure Hunt is updated on December, 24!
- The top reward in Holiday Season Treasure Hunt is a weapon from one of the previous game events (except Halloween 2019 and Summer Heat 2019).
- The list of rewards does not depend on your maximum equipment tier.
- You will not get event weapons you own as potential rewards (unless you own all event weapons, in which case the reward will be a random event weapon).
- Holiday Season Treasure Hunt updates daily, not weekly! It also updates as soon as you have received all the rewards or rerolled the Treasure Hunt.
- The number of free stash maps you can receive is also updated daily, not weekly!
- You can receive up to 5 free stash maps each day during the event (with a 20% chance after a PvP-match)! But keep in mind that you still cannot have more than 2 free stash maps at any time. To receive all 5 stash maps in a day, please spend the free stash maps you currently have.

The List of Changes in Survarium 0.61a
General Changes
- It's now impossible to install supplies during healing animation.
- Game client and server now support increased tick rate (exchange network packets more often). To fully test this feature we need a lot of matches with various conditions, thus we cannot test it on the PTS. Because of that we made a decision to test this on public in selected matches and monitor the results (performance and lag foremost). We will share more details on these tests when they are about to happen.
- Turkish localization is now available.



Locations
- New location introduced into the game: Duga radar station. The following game modes are available on the location: Battery Retrieval, Research, Team Deathmatch.
- This is the biggest location in the game, so performance may be worse than on the other maps. We plan on optimizing the location, and also make balancing changes (moving bases and key points, for instance) in the future basing on the matches results.
- Static electric anomaly can be found on Duga radar station. Anomaly effect will be improved in the upcoming updates.
- In one of the following updates lighting in the tunnel of the Duga location will be improved.
- School: visual effect of the static anomaly on the third floor is back!
- Vostok Radar Station: fixed some spots when it was possible to see through objects.
- London: fixed spots when it was possible to throw the battery away from the location.



Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue when killcam was twitching during short killcams when your character was killed by a bot.
- Fixed an issue when friends' and clanmates' ranks were not updated in the League menu.
