Shaking when driving through the Wasteland is a common thing. You won’t find good shock absorbers these days. But Gurt didn’t care that he occasionally bumped his head against the low roof of the cabin. He was worried, excited and ready for feats — after all, he was traveling with the chief! Pete, seeing the enthusiasm in the fighter’s eyes, decided that he should clarify the situation to him.

— Listen up. You are riding with me because you and I will move to the island together. The rest will be waiting on the shore, got it?

— As you say! But why? Is that a really scary place? And what is this place anyway?

Pete paused, staring thoughtfully at the road ahead. Then, apparently deciding to let Gurt fully know what was going on, he began to speak: “There is nothing there that would crawl, walk or jump, if that’s what you mean. And all in all, the place is great, the landscapes there are awesome, a real still life. It’s just that we shouldn’t attract any unwanted attention.”

— So, how do we get to the island? We don’t have these flyers or whatever they’re called... Hovers, right! — Gurt once heard about miraculous devices hovering above the ground instead of driving on it.

— We don’t need them, there are remnants of a bridge from the mainland. It’s on its last legs, the heavyweights are unlikely to pass it. But we have to. We fall from the bridge - we are done, there’s only acid around, there’s no water in the lake there for a long time. But there is water on the island.

Then Gurt heard a story about a place that is most often called the Clean Island from the chief. “It’s just a little dirty around it, heh” — Pete added. He said that in this place are the ruins of a water purification plant, which was built before the cataclysm. “We’re almost the same age with this plant, sorta,” — said the chieftain with a certain pride in his voice. “A couple of years ago, the Dawn’s eggheads repaired water filters there. They planted vegetables, potatoes and such and lived almost like in the old world!’

Gurt didn’t really believe that someone could really grow potatoes. He only heard about it from the stories of old people who managed to live before the cataclysm and hadn’t perished after it. But he really didn’t want to argue with the chief, so he just continued to listen.

“They didn’t sit on all this stuff for long,” — Pete continued. — Rumors about such miracles spread quickly, and there were far too many of those who wanted to loot the place. The problem was — no one knew exactly where this island was located. And the one who spoke was, you guessed it, another four-eyed! His name’s Lloyd or something. He has some kind of beef with Dawn’s, I don’t know the whole story. But he gave away the coordinates of this place to everyone he could. Obviously, all the gangs in the area moved to force the eggheads to share, — Pete gasped. — And so did I.”

— And why did Lloyd speak? Certainly not just out of hatred, though. — Gurt dared to interrupt the chief’s story.

— I heard that he took those filters from there, while the islanders were fighting off the attacks. But I know him, he could just want to arrange a surprise for them, trust me, — Pete answered with obvious admiration in his voice. — He’s a rat!

The chief was silent for a while, clearly inspired by the heroic story he told. Gurt, too, silently looked at the road through the crack in the armor. Small vegetation began to occasionally appear around, and this could only mean one thing — the target was already close.

— And what happened to the island? Who owns it now?

— Nobody! Nobody can hold it. There’s still only one working filter left, but as soon as someone occupies the island, others immediately come, and the carnage begins. Letting someone strong to dig in there means losing a source of water for the rest of the area, you know? They go there in small groups so they won’t provoke others. We have not so many fighters to organize raids, but we need a lot of water. So everything must be done nice and clean, — Pete replied much more seriously. — The island is constantly being watched by peepers, and when they see a whole squad driving into the plant, they’ll definitely start squealing.

For the rest of the way, both the chief and Gurt were silent. Apparently, Pete was considering the details of a plan to smuggle a huge cistern of water from the island, and his chosen assistant tried to convince himself that the plan was not arrogant and insane, but genius, and that they would both definitely return to their comrades without receiving a single scratch. However, he could hardly believe it.

***

"...All right, let’s move out. Take a couple of wrenches for 12, a crowbar, a generator and a winch from the wagon and drag them into the car. I’ll brief the people so they won’t meddle, and we’ll move."

With these words Pete got out of the car and moved towards the crowd of Lunatics, gradually getting out of the armoured vehicles. Gurt brought everything that the chief listed, and decided to walk a little to stretch his stiff legs.

The gang stopped at the top of a cliff that stretched far in both directions. At the bottom of the cliff, a lake of a quite natural reddish hue for these places began — acid. In the central part of this toxic swamp, there was indeed a small patch of land that was unusually rich in greenery. Among the tall grass and bushes were several gray boxes, apparently the buildings of a water treatment plant.

The further road laid across a dilapidated bridge that led directly to the island. Now Gurt saw with his own eyes another reason why Pete didn’t want to lead the group on a raid in full force. There were bent pins of rebar sticking out of the crumbled bridge frame, and the loud creaking sound of its supports, swaying in the wind, gave no confidence that the structure could withstand even a human weight, let alone a heavy armoured car. But as long as Pete was confident that his car would pass here, Gurt was ready to try.

The fighter was well aware that the chances of returning safe and sound, and taking a full tank of water with him, were slim. But Pete’s confidence about this job gave strength to Gurt as well. In the end, they had no other choice, and he had long wanted to somehow prove himself in front of the gang. “A trip to this Clean Island should be my triumph,” — Gurt concluded mentally.

— Well, where are you? Come on, we don’t have much time, — Pete had already finished his speech to his subordinates and was now waiting for the fighter at the car. — It’s time to remind the area who the Lunatics are!

Gurt woke up from his thoughts and hurried to the armoured car. You cannot make the chief wait for too long.

Hello, survivors!

The start of the new season is close, and today we will tell you in more detail what other new parts can be expected in the future update. Let us remind you that the first part of this blog can be found HERE.

We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all.


This unusual melee weapon requires certain skills from its owner, but it fully rewards the mastery! Its main features are that in order to inflict damage, the weapon must be activated and it deals not melee, but thermal damage. Don’t forget that the weapon needs to cool down and reload, so always keep in mind a plan for maneuvers or a stealthy retreat during this time!


Our guests know how to surprise. It seems that we have already seen everything, but we certainly haven’t! How do you like a weapon capable of launching a special drone to the area you selected? What if it highlights the target with a laser pointer while attacking? And what if it inflicts increased damage in the first seconds of its activity? Move around the battlefield with caution, because you can always expect such “surprises” from your opponents!

Here is another part that can cause trouble for enemies at a distance. This launcher will hurl special mines to the area you selected, and a turret will harpoon enemies within its area of effect. The cable itself is not difficult to break, but that is not the point: an electric current is passed through the cable, causing damage and slowing down the enemy’s vehicle. And, what’s more interesting — you can launch the mines even while being invisible.
Do you feel that there is a lot of room for tactical actions and new ways to destroy enemies, both in a team and by yourself?


This cunning device won’t allow your enemies to go invisible or flee in an unknown direction. If a homing projectile hits and attaches to the enemy, then its location is automatically highlighted on the map and minimap for a certain time period.


It’s fair to say that we are used to the fact that heavy cabins are somehow associated with slowness and / or sluggishness. This legendary cabin is ready to challenge all preconceptions! Its unique feature will temporarily increase the power of not only the engine of your chosen ally, but your own engine too. And our special offer for vehicles with heavy cabins: increase of not only the engine power, but also the maximum cabin speed!

Of course, in addition to the parts above, there will be new structural parts, each of which we will be able to consider in more detail with the release of the update. The start of the event is scheduled for next week!

See you in the next season!

I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the popcorn kernel that gets stuck in your teeth! I am Alex Murch, leading the watch specifically for the “Voice of the Wasteland” text radio.

More of our guests have arrived. They seem to be gearing up for something big. An attack, perhaps? Judging by the line of provisions, equipment, weapons and spare parts for armoured vehicles arriving, more than one hundred aliens are planning to arrive here. According to my estimates, it’ll take them at least a week just to sort out everything that has arrived. And what will happen next — only the Emperor knows.
Oh, don’t you know the legend of the Emperor? All right, I’ll tell you. But not today.

Today we have:

• Checking cameras near the “Plateau, already occupied by a group of strangers” (user choice);
  
• Last episode’s top comment.

And we'll start from the end. The comment, spelling and punctuation preserved, looks like this:

“So Elon’s wheels have arrived”

And what can I say? That you are strange people! You posted the comment, but forgot to explain it. I had to buy out some old magazine from Scar AB, in which both this Elon and the wheels were mentioned in one sentence. And I could’ve just read in the commentary and at least understand what I captured:

Elon’s wheel or, as it is sometimes called, the “Swedish” wheel is a rolling-based wheel that allows transport to move in any direction. It got its name from the Swedish inventor Bengt Ilon, who created it. The idea to create such a wheel came to him in 1973, when he worked as an engineer in the Swedish company “Mecanum AB”.

Now I know that those guys will not only be armed, but also equipped with very cool things. So I’ve walked around the markets and heard so much: about both the new gun, and about these wheels (there I was able to show off my knowledge from magazines, however, I immediately stopped when asked about characteristics), and about wheels with negative camber (I will call them “angular”), and about a small, but quite interesting cabin. But I suppose you heard all this yourself. But what you didn’t hear and see is the next shot which I waited for sixteen hours in a row.

Everything was so boring that I wanted to break my promise and check the cameras in another place, I really wanted to shoot something new... And I have to be on the front lines of news and rumors! And so, towards one of the cameras, IT appeared. Undertrailer - supertruck! I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but I’ll get it! After all, this is an almost ready-made mobile radio broadcasting station, just drag the equipment into the back, put the printer... Where was I? Oh yes, the picture:

While I dream of changing the scenery, you answer the question: “Well, survivors. What are we going to observe this week?”

1. Road to the mountain in the south;
   
2. Road to the mountain in the east;
   
3. Plateau, already occupied by a group of strangers;
   
4. Anything at all;
   
5. My own pantry.
