Good day, fighters!

We’ve rolled out a patch, in which we fixed and improved some things. Many critical bugs were fixed, such as respawn problems in the Canyon, bugs with commission shops in “Testing ground” (your items and money will not disappear, but they will be on one of the bases). Also, we’ve fixed low GPU usage on “Testing Grounds” that caused low FPS on a good PC. This “anomaly” has been removed ;-)

Also, we’ve changed the name of production modules: from now they are named V1-V4 instead of M1-M4. It’s like a version of a module. We did it because the previous naming of modules made players confused. Players thought that the V4 module (M4 old name) allow producing M4 weapons. In fact, it is not so. Each module, even V2 (M2 old name) can produce a weapon with up to 3 modification (M3 is maximum), but the difference is that modifications of V2 modules are lower than V3 or V4 modules, but even V2 module can produce M3 weapon, but its modifications will be “light”. Now we hope that it will be more clear for players.

Update client of the game, have a good day!

Good time of day, fighters! Update 0.56 is available for download! In this update, we have added a new PvP location “Testing Ground”, the craft of modified weapons and new quests!




Before the Catastrophe, the testing ground of the SO-17 laboratory was used for the production, testing, and debugging of combat drones. Surprisingly, all the equipment has retained its functionality and is able to produce new drones to this day.

For factions, this location is one of the most important sources of supplies of new weapons, and that is why control in these territories means control over weapons.



The gameplay in the "Testing Grounds" location will be slightly different in terms of game mechanics.

There are six beacons in the location, on which combat drones automatically appear. Drones are set up to guard their beacons and therefore destroy all manpower in the area. Combat drones are a very tough enemy that can attack both from the ground and from the air. Therefore, in order to defeat them, players should use the arsenal to the maximum: from shields and EMP-grenades to RPGs, and you simply cannot cope with them alone.



Each faction can take over the beacons while they are available for capture. When the beacon is captured, the combat drones side with the faction and continue to defend their beacon from players with a different faction.

The beacons are grouped in a special way: three beacons on one line, three beacons on the other. If players captured and held three beacons on the line until the end of the timer, then one base (for example, the northeast) is activated, and if you held all three beacons on the other line, another base (for example, the south) is activated. Each group of beacons has its own timer.



At the same time, if the timer has not expired, the opponent can take back control of the beacons from you until the time runs out. Therefore, you should guard all three points until the timer ends if you focus on activating at least one of the bases. However, as mentioned earlier, combat drones will actively help you in the defense and protection of beacons.



When the base is activated, you get access to trade, crafting, including modified weapons and new equipment. In addition, each of the bases opens access to a location with an event (each base has its own), in which it will be possible to get modules for the modified weapons crafting.

The location has four factional entrances and two common entrances. Thus, players of factions will be able to enter the location from different sides.

!By the way, there are merchants at the faction entrances: this way, you can replenish ammunition if you run out of them.



In the picture above, faction entrances are indicated in a small circle. For example, the picture shows a situation where the Confederation players have already captured three beacons in the north direction, and the Black Sunset players have sent two squads to repel them. At the same time, two more Black Sunset squads are heading towards the western beacons that have not yet been captured, and another Confederation squad is sent to strengthen the upper beacon.

Since the fighting in the location, in theory, can take place in different directions at the same time, we recommend that the players of the factions work as one, and players may even distribute combat missions between the clans: one clan attacks and defends one beacon, the second clan - another. In general, the location is very rich in various tactical maneuvers: sometimes, it will be enough to send a couple of saboteurs to simply prevent the opponent from capturing the beacon. And there may be situations when faction players prefer to conquer beacons on their lanes and not interfere with each other.

Unlike the "Canyon" location, captured bases in the "Testing Ground '' location will not always belong to the faction that captured them. After a certain time, the bases get out of "control", all combat drones lose their factional affiliation and begin to destroy everyone. Such a “reset” of bases may give a chance for revenge to the “weak side”.


To craft a modified weapon, players must obtain a production module and the necessary components. Production modules are issued as a reward in the location “Arena of drones”, for access to which players need to have control over the bases. At the same time, each of the bases provides an opportunity to take part in its own event.

Production modules range from the simplest and most common to the rare ones. Depending on the module used, a weapon will be created, which can have up to four modifications. At the same time, almost every weapon that will be created in this way may differ in characteristics, even though the same module was used during creation.


Fighters! If you follow the news, then you know that in version 0.56 we planned to add a transport - a moped. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to fix all the problems with it that we previously reported in our community. Many problems have been resolved, but more time is needed to “polish” to make the number of bugs with the moped usage minimal. We can no longer delay the release of update 0.56 - we know how you are waiting for update 0.56, we see your messages and comments! Nice to know that the community loves what we create! This is inspiring!



Therefore, for now, we are releasing an update without transport. It is important to note that mopeds will appear immediately in one of the next patches, as soon as everything is ready (there is still a little bit left).


A new NPC has appeared in the location "Minaev's Territory" - Grisha. He works as a mechanic in these places. Grisha has tasks that are available to players from level 10 and bring a good amount of experience. After completing his tasks, you can buy a moped from this Grisha, as soon as we release a version in which mopeds appear.

It will be possible to use the moped after we add it to the game. It will require level 13, but its cost will be high - 200,000 tokens. The moped will need refined gasoline, which must be produced from low-quality fuel by distilling it at a chemical station. In this regard, in many locations, new points have appeared for collecting low-quality fuel, especially at abandoned gas stations. You can start collecting and producing fuel now.


ATTENTION! The transport will not be available at the start in version 0.56, but it will become available in one of the next updates. At the same time, Grisha's tasks are available for completion, but the purchase of a moped in the game and in the in-game store will be temporarily disabled.


The 0.56 update for the Steam client will be over 23 GB in size. This is because the Steam version now will use file compression, the same as the My.Games client. At the same time, the size of the game client will be significantly reduced: about ≈24 GB instead of 43 GB as it was before, which is definitely a plus. Due to the shrinking client size, future updates to the game may be installed faster than before, but the size of future updates will become larger.

Therefore, we recommend having about 60 GB of free disk space to install update 0.56 on the drive where Steam is installed. If there is not enough disk space, after the 0.56 release, you can simply reinstall the game by downloading the new client again (since, in fact, the client will be downloaded from scratch).

For My.Games users, the update will also be quite impressive, but not the same as for Steam users, because of the My.Games client used compression from the very beginning.


- The new level cap is 50;
- Increased durability for MHP-1 and MRP-1;
- Healing grenades are now available for all classes;
- Added animation for fast throwing of a grenade. To use the quick-throw of grenades, they must be placed in the quick-access slot. If there are several types of grenades in the quick access slots, then a grenade from the first slot in the queue will be used for a quick throw;
- Changed the sounds of medicine usage;
- Fixed problems with some armor models;
- The time for roadblocks capturing in the "Canyon" location was reduced to 1.5 hours;
- Monsters were removed at the entrance to the "Testing Ground" in the "Canyon" location;
- Commission store now has a weight limit of 50 kilograms per lot;
- Now you can sort weapons by damage in Commission store;
- The clan activity log has been improved - it is more detailed and more convenient;
- Fixed a problem with painting pockets of mercenaries' backpacks;
- Loaded S1 ammo can no longer be placed to account inventory;
- Sending mail interface has been improved: now the recipient can be selected from the list of friends;
- The interface of inviting to the group has been improved: now the player can be selected from the list of friends;
- Mines no longer react to characters without a faction in PvE mode;
- Added animation of a quick knife strike;
- In the "Canyon" location, guides have been added to the "Testing Ground" location;
- The barter mechanism has been improved: now it excludes the possibility of fraud during the confirmation of the exchange by the second party;
- Fixed an issue with the RPG scope model in cases where the RPG is in poor condition;
- Optimized water bodies in the "Coast" location: it should improve the performance in this location.

Good day, fighters!

We’ve rolled out the 1st April abnormal update, in which an anomaly with “Radio” anomalies happened, and now they behave abnormally! Astrologers claim that the abnormal behavior of the anomalies can last 2 days.

Please update the client of the game, have fun! ːsteamhappyː

Hello, fighters!

We’ve released a hotfix for update 0.55.9, in which we made a small but very significant shift.

In the “Canyon” location, the matador event has been moved to the f4 sector. The feature of this place is that it is placed between the top and bottom outposts. So, in this plan, both outposts become equally important. Also, an abandoned farm is located not far away from this place, which can be useful to players to prepare for the event or defense from uninvited guests.

The bug in the sound engine that causes the game crash in the “Coast” location was fixed.

Servers have been stopped for maintenance, please update the client of the game. And have a good weekend!

Hello, fighters!

We’ve released the updater 0.55.9, which contains the following changes:

• We’ve worked on optimizing the loading of locations. It affected most locations, so players who use HDD should notice these improvements: locations now load faster.
  
• We took note of the feedback from some of our players about the performance decreasing in the "Coast" location and tried to "squeeze out" a little more performance in this location by doing some optimization.
  
• A Guide has appeared In the locations "Tunnels" and "Canyon", which for a modest sum transfers you from the "Tunnels" to the "Canyon". This direction can be used to attack the northern checkpoint as an alternative to the caves.
  
• In the "Maze" location, some "dodgers" managed to plant mines - this has been fixed. Also was disabled the ability to shoot and use grenades both in the "Exclusion Zone" and in the "Maze".
  
• Information about the benefits of joining a Faction, as well as a clan has been added in PDA: this will be useful for novice players.
  
• Good news for those who use Premium: now Premium Status is offered for 30 days with a 30% discount, for 15 days with a 20% discount. "Premium" for 3 and 7 days is offered with a discount of 5% and 7%, respectively.

The servers were stopped for maintenance, please update the game client.

Hello, fighters! We’ve rolled out update 0.55.8 and here’s what changed.



Clans got new clans skills to study.

PvE:
- Added “PvE damage III” and “Vivisector II” skills
PvP:
- Added “PvP damage II” and “PvP Critical Hit II” skills
Craft:
- Added “Miner II”, “Big Clan Storage III” and “Big Clan Storage IV”

New spawn points have been added to the location and the attack of monsters has been improved. Now, depending on the monster's size, they will attack different body parts: feet, legs, arms, body, and sometimes even head. Damage from monsters can be slightly changed because armor has different protection levels depending on the body parts. The lake not far away from Sosnovka now has a fishing zone.

An issue has been fixed that prevented weapons from loading if the reload animation was interrupted by clicking on the mouse buttons before the animation was finished, the PDA interface was improved.

The servers were stopped for maintenance, please update the game client.

Good day, fighters!

Today we've published update 0.55.7, which added a new phenomenon "Airdrop" to the game. Also, was added a new rare pistol S&W .500 Special. The Old Man in white robe has been removed from the game, and all the necessary components to complete his quests have been removed.




Despite the fact that the WSC company has not existed for more than 50 years, it looks like the orbital stations still do not know anything about it: therefore, they periodically send valuable humanitarian cargo. At least that's what the legends say, which are told by the few who were lucky enough to face this phenomenon.


A very rare handgun that might be found in the game - "The S&W .500 Special" has been added to the game. Due to the elongated barrel, it has better accuracy and more damage and also has the possibility to install a PO-1 optical sight, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by lovers of accurate shooting.




S1 ammo sets for popular weapons have added to the in-game store. These rounds are an exact copy of the M1 in terms of characteristics. They cannot be sold to commissions and merchants, but they can be put into account inventory. There are also rumors that this ammunition can be found in the game world.

• The old man in white robes was removed from the locations, all the items necessary for the complete his quests were also removed. Players who did not manage to complete the quests can cancel them in the PDA;
  
• All Lunar New Year items have been removed from the in-game store;
  
• Improved PDA interface design;
  
• Improved the behavior of the roaming boar;
  
• Improved "prank-lizard" behavior;
  
• The problem with the incorrect infliction of damage by an RPG projectile against energy shields has been fixed: sometimes the shield was not destroyed when the projectile hit from the backside;
  
• Large cave spider can now summon small spiders for help;
  
• MRP-1 no longer awards faction points during capture if the player dies because of the environment;
  
• Fixed incorrect placement of equipment for MSR-12;
  
• Fixed a bug due to which in rare cases premium stashes were visible to other players;
  
• Achievements for resource gathering have been reset as they were counted incorrectly. Those who were obtained these achievements will receive them automatically the next time when a pickaxe or shovel is used;
  
• Added 6 new achievements.

Good day, fighters!

We’ve published a minor fix for version 0.55.6, in which we fixed the next things:

• “Premium stash” now visible only to their owners and now they don't bother no one;
  
• Unexpected bug with quests such as “Strange map”, “NDP-detector” and so on has been fixed;
  
• Fireworks launching sounds have been fixed and now they reduce sound by distance;
  
• The setting of PO-1, PO-2, POSP optical sights have been adjusted for all resolutions. Let us note, that optical sights are focused mainly on 16:9 resolution scale, so owners of 4:3 screen dimensions will not feel any changes.

Servers were stopped for updating, please update the client of the game.

Good day, fighters!

Today we've published update 0.55.6, which includes the "Lunar New Year" event, many in-game achievements and improvements have been added. Oh yes, we also added an RPG-7.

A mysterious old man in a white robe appeared in the settlements. He said that if you appease the spirits of the elements, you can get not only their favor and protection but also rewards.



Complete this old man's quests to appease the five Elemental Spirits and get themed weapon skins. All quests can be completed only once. Also, you will receive holiday snacks as a reward when you complete any quests in the game.



The event will run from February 11 to February 17 inclusive. The NPC will stay in the locations for a while so that everyone can complete the quests. All items needed to complete the old man's tasks will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

Now the owners of a subscription to "Premium Status" can place a special "premium stash" in the location. This stash can be used only by the character who placed it and only with an active "premium status". In other words, no one else will ever be able to ransack this stash, not even other characters in your account and characters from your group. The "Premium Stash" holds extra 50 kilograms in weight and has 5 more slots than a regular stash.

Note that if your "premium status" has expired, then you will not be able to pick up items from such stash: you need to activate the "premium status".


Ultimate, powerful and expensive! It has two types of charges: fragmentation and shaped charge. A fragmentation charge works simply: it hits targets with shards within a certain radius (more powerful than grenades).



Shaped charge acts differently. It penetrates buildings, structures, and even stones and it is capable of hitting targets not only in the explosion zone but also inside shelters, as in the illustration below. The main advantage of this projectile is precisely that it is capable of destroying targets (enemy manpower, equipment, etc.) inside buildings and behind shelters.



The weapon and the projectiles for it require the clan to have opened "Faction Arsenal" technology.


We continue to develop in-game achievements and this time we have added 83 new achievements. Thus, the total number of achievements at the moment is 155, of which 46 are hidden. We plan to further develop our own system of achievements and we do not use achievements on Steam since this version. They will be removed from Steam in the near future (those players who already have achievements on Steam will have them, but we are not sure).


- Improved the work of the monocular (now it correctly identifies monsters, and also learned to identify enemy NPCs). Also, the monocular received a night mode;
- Replaced some sounds of the environment in the "Canyon" location (including those that caused problems for streamers);
- Visually improved and optimized explosion particles;
- Dance animations now play cyclically;
- Fixed a bug that allowed to install of "MRP" and "MHP" inside large stones;
- Improved behavior of a huge cave spider;
- Reduced the cost of G43.300 shells for the grenade launcher (fireworks);
- In-game merchants now have Fireworks for sale, which can only be launched at night;
- The reticle now scales correctly when using low resolutions, as well as resolutions in 4: 3 format;
- Many quest dialogs now display the quest reward before the quest is accepted.

The servers were stopped for the update, please update the client of the game.

Today we've released a hotfix, in which we improved the Achievements section of the PDA, made some changes in the design of the Canyon location, improved the mechanisms of protection against unfair receipt of chevrons and reputation "laundering", and also made other improvements.



List of changes:

• Devices such as MRP-1, MHP-1, and the jammer no longer emit sounds when discharged. Also, if MRP-1 and MHP-1 have no charge, the visualization of the dome disappears.
  
• If jammer installed in a safe zone that cannot be hacked, it discharges very quickly;

• Improved protection mechanism against artificial "laundering" of reputation and chevrons;
  
• Corrections were made to the telnyashka and shirt models.
