Good day, fighters!

Mr. Nuke-Pumpkin has left the Will To Live Online universe, and with him, traditionally, all gift cards have been removed from the game. All amulets are now removed from the game at the end of events (as well as gift cards). As such, all amulets have been removed.

With it, we have released a minor update with the following changes:

• A special sound effect is now applied to voice chat when a character is wearing a gas mask or respirator, and when a character is intoxicated;
  
• Silencers now reduce damage by 20% instead of 25% as before. The increase in accuracy remains the same, by 10%. A 10% recoil reduction effect has also been added;
  
• Symbiot in the Bunker location is now an event that is available to multiple players up to level 30;
  
• The "Kill Symbiot" clan quest is now available up to level 30 and can be canceled;
  
• Fixed some anomalies not displaying correctly when using the drone;
  
• Hornets' head of Canyon now has less weight, a higher drop chance, and a higher price
  
• Small improvements were added to the design of the "Swamp" location.

Hello fighters! Today we have prepared the 0.57.9 update, with which the Halloween event begins, and a huge number of changes aimed at improving the game. There was a transition to a newer version of the game engine Unreal Engine 4, an adaptive mechanism for optimizing animations was implemented, design improvements of some locations were made, as well as many different fixes. Let's start in order!




Mr. Nuke-Pumpkin has once again returned to the world of WTL. This time he is not alone. Along with him, there is a new mysterious creature that you will have to deal with! With the help of special amulets, this creature is able to enter the minds of innocent adventurers and collectors of anything valuable, wreaking havoc and panic! Mr. Nuke-Pumpkin also brings both familiar and all-new disgusting gifts that can be exchanged for cards.

The Pumpkin and Toxic Pumpkin masks, a special Hellbike moped, and some new nasty items to inflict pain will be available for trade! The classic Skull Mask and Devil's Helmet are available from the in-game store.



The Halloween event has begun and will run until November 8th, 23:59 UTC. After the event ends, Mr. Nuclear Pumpkin will stay for a while to give everyone time to exchange their gift cards for something of value.


The Black Sunset Camp in the Eastern Territories location has been globally redesigned to more closely reflect the spirit of the post-apocalyptic world.



There are currently no other changes to the Black Sunset Camp, but we are working on adding new quests and new NPCs to extend the story of the game world.




The Flame clothing paint that was available from the gunsmith was replaced with another. It kept its original color tones but took on a more familiar camouflage style. Those clothes that have already been colored in this paint will automatically update their pattern. In addition, we have slightly adjusted the recipe for the production of this paint.

The new paint is now available at the gunsmith under the names "Camouflage" from 14 to 21.


A migration to a newer version of the Unreal Engine 4 has been made. In this version many old bugs of the engine have been fixed and new ones have been added :-). We hope that the overall stability of the game will be higher, internal testing has not revealed any serious problems associated with the updated version of the game engine.


- NO-PK mode is now active in the "Arena of Drones" location. Since now players of the opposite faction cannot be in this location, the PVP mode has lost its relevance: players of the same faction have no need to fight with each other and interfere with the gameplay. This will prevent accidental loss of reputation during events;
- Fixed an issue that caused smoke from smoke grenades to block the collimator sight;
- Implemented adaptive animation optimization mechanism. Game client performance is expected to be better, especially with a large number of characters in the frame;
- Improved recon drone synchronization;
- Improved recon drone range parameters;
- Fixed issues with some weapon skins at certain lighting settings;
- Fixed an issue with sandstorm rendering in the Canyon location during equipment setup and in safe zones;
- Fixed issues with L96A1 "Tiger" paint: the rifle thrown on the ground was displayed as a common rifle, without paint;
- Fixed problems with container materials;
- Updated protective dome particles at checkpoints in "Canyon" location and "Testing Grounds" location;
- The chance of dropping a drone and a detonator for the "Burdock" bomb is now 0;
- The story quest "Artifact "Nightwatch" can no longer be canceled;
- Fixed incorrect display of PvP points contribution to clan development;
- Fixed an issue where NPC Kuzmich could issue a quest that should be issued by another NPC;
- Fixed a design bug in sector E2-8, E3-4 and E2-7 of the "Canyon" location;
- Based on suggestions from players, new objects and shelters were added to the Canyon location in sectors E1-5, E1-6 and E2-3;
- Lamps have been added to merchants in the "Canyon" location so that they don't sit in the dark;
- Fixed descriptions of some quests in the quest log;
- Fixed a problem with the quest "Cockroach Breeding Ground", which occurred if the player did not have enough free space in the inventory;
- Fixed a problem with the drawing distance of a shelter in the "Testing Grounds" location in sector D3-1: the objects stopped being displayed in the distance too early;
- WSC PDW armor penetration value increased by 5-7 (min-max);
- Changed mechanics of firing single shots. Now when firing single shots quickly, the recoil is accumulated more strongly. Thus "spamming" with single shots will be similar to automatic firing and will not give an advantage to players who used to do it with macros on gaming mice;
- Fixed Hi-tech armor texture bugs;
- Fixed an issue with containers in the Bunker location;
- Symbiot in the location "Bunker" received new running animations and a new attack. Changed the danger level of this monster;
- Updated the clothes of Valera in the "Black Sunset" camp;
- Replaced running sounds of bears in the location "Swamp";
- Changed fishing settings: the time until the nibble will be a few seconds longer, but the time of "fighting with the fish" will be reduced, and the ability to pull the fish - increased. Thus, fishing will become a little more comfortable;
- Fixed bugs in the explosions of the mine "Burdok", which led to unstable operation of the server;
- Fixed a bug that caused the game client to crash when moving between the locations "Territory of Minaev" and "The Solnechniy Outskirts" through the village "Engineering";
- Bodies on the quest "Search for the group "Radar" were replaced with the bodies of Confederation fighters;
- The monocular has been given the ability to work as a target pointer in a group. You can do this by pressing the middle mouse button (scroll). You can send up to ten pointers in total, each sending of a target pointer consumes battery according to the number of players in the group (recipients of the target pointer);
- Fixed bugs in the design of the "Eastern Territories" location;
- Made many other minor fixes and improvements.

Good day, fighters! Today we have released update 0.57.8, along with which the long-awaited event "Quench The Thirst with Gasoline" begins, and was added a lot of new features!




The powerful cybernetic wolf RW-01 is back again! Just like last time, NPC Biker appeared in the locations with it. He is a longtime friend of Grisha Mazuta and, like Grisha, he loves motorcycles. But if Grisha is "for practicality," then his friend prefers beauty and aesthetics. Therefore, he has with him valuable goods for the locals: a stylish motorcycle Scrambler and equipment. You can get them if you bring what Biker needs - chrome bolts.

Together with Biker, in the locations "Coast", "Big Village", "Eastern Territories" and "Swamps" at night in the game you can meet the drone RW-01.



This event has not received any changes and has exactly the same balance as last year. Also in the store (and only in the store) there is a specialized and stylized scrambler "Ride Or Die". This motorcycle will be available for sale as part of the event.



The event begins when the update is released and will end on the 11th of July. The biker will remain in the locations for a while so that all players can exchange bolts.


In this version, faction players received an expansion of their arsenal. First of all, a new clan technology was added - "Faction Arsenal 2". By unlocking this skill, clan leaders and deputy leaders will be able to get a quest to create a scout drone from the gunsmiths in the " Testing Grounds" location. The quest to create a drone is issued once a day. The drone can be used only by players who are members of the clan, in which the technology "Arsenal of faction 2" is opened. As for the requirements of the character, the drone requires level 35 and 6 intelligence.



The drone is able to illuminate the identification of enemy faction players and transmit this identification to players in the group. The drone also has a combat ability - it can self-destruct, dealing damage to an opponent. But since the drone is not very cheap, this use is not always justified.

The drone can be destroyed by shooting it down. Partially damaged drones can be repaired with i-SAAC, but this requires launching the drone and requires a second player to repair it. The drone also has a charge that is recharged by NDP accumulator M1.

Another novelty for faction players is the remote-controlled "Burdock" bomb. Its purchase requires the Arsenal Faction 1 clan technology. Unlike the drone, only the engineer can use the Burdock Bomb. The "Burdock" bomb can be defused, which is awarded as an achievement. The process of defusing the bomb is like a minigame.


New quests have been added to the game at Leshiy in the "Swamp" location, as well as at the fisherman Tikhon in the ""Big Village"" location. Completing these quests, players will be able to get recipes for the creation of three stimulators:

- Stimulator "Mustang": This stimulator increases stamina by 1-3 units (but no more than 10) and works for 20 minutes. Gives minor chemical poisoning.
- Stimulator "Fortune": This stimulator increases 1 or 2 stamina points (but no more than 10) and lasts 20 minutes. Luck makes you slightly drunk.
- Stimulator " Smartass ": This stimulator increases by 1-3 units (but no more than 10) of intelligence and works for 30 minutes, gives a slight radiation effect.


- In-game store on sale paint cans "Izolenta";
- MSR-12 "Izolenta" can now be put in the account inventory (even though it was never on sale);
- Added new fish needed for new stimulators. Added recipes for cooking new fish;
- Added new medicament Detox, which cancels the effects of stimulants. You can buy it from merchants;
- Faction merchants at roadblocks in the " Testing grounds " location now wear faction armor;
- The faction players' PDAs now have their own look;
- Added HP ammo for 338LM HP;
- Increased armor penetration coefficient of 12Ga M1/S1 bullet for PvP;
- Coefficient of armor piercing 12Ga bullet M1/S1 for PvE became standard;
- Changed 3d-model of the “Heart” artifact;
- Changing faction with NPC Roaming Trader now resets the revival point to the standard point in the location. This will eliminate the cases when the Black Sunset players go from the Black Sunset Camp to change faction and after death they respawn in the Black Sunset Camp being in the Confederation;
- Fixed bugs that could occur when a character dies in the Gravity Concentrate anomaly;
- Fixed minor errors in the design of the "Canyon" location;
- Fixed minor errors in the design of the "Coast" location;
- Fixed minor errors in the design of the "Testing Grounds" location;
- Fixed minor errors in the design of the "Maze" location ;
- Fixed a problem with hiding a character's torso on the client side;
- Changed the anomaly "Radio" in the location of the Canyon, which led to the death of the character in sector c7-2. It is now more loyal to the fighters.
- The project X event is now available again.

Good day, fighters!

Today we released a small update 0.57.7, which contains some improvements.

All players who log into the game from the moment the update is released until May 1, 23:59 UTC inclusive, will be awarded 72 hours premium status.

- Now, if you need picklocks to open the door, it is written about it. Previously, there was a notice that requires a key.

Fighters, we have some bad news! Update 0.57.6 will not be released this Friday. It is available for download now. This version adds a new, rare in-game event, as well as various improvements and fixes to the game.




Some of you may have seen this event in the game before. This event has been the source of many rumors and theories, no one could ever have predicted the next launch of this event. Some even thought it was a fake and a hoax. We can now pull back the curtain of secrecy and officially announce that the Project-X event has been finalized and officially added to the game. It will happen more often, on all servers, not just a few, and in different locations. It is going to be very rare and very unexpected!


The April Fool's mini-event is gaining! The other day you've already started experiencing inexplicable anomalies in the game, with lizards not where they usually are, or having to play for a crate. The stakes have been raised, and now from tomorrow the various things that can't be tolerated without a burn ointment will happen even more often! However, now you'll have to do a bit of Wubba Lubba Dub Dub to get the amulet bonuses as well.

• We continue to fill in the world of our game, and this time the houses in the Engineering Settlement have been improved;
  
• A quick hit with the Combat Bream no longer causes weapons to lock and character movement problems;
  
• Combat Bream will no longer move the character in the 3D inventory view;
  
• Fixed an issue where multiple tracks were playing at the same time during events;
  
• The cursed house in the abandoned camp has been made even creepier;
  
• The quick ammo type change button has been removed from the game, but the ammo type change itself works and will be done automatically or through the inventory when needed.
  
• Various minor location design issues have been fixed.

Good day, fighters! Today we have prepared update 0.57.5, adding new quests, various improvements, and new objects. The mechanics of lock-picking doors and fishing have been reworked, various many minor errors and shortcomings have been fixed.




The new object has appeared not far away from Depot in the "Minaev's Territories" location - the Fire Department.



This area will be interesting to 7-10lvl players and contains several mini-quests. Also, players will be able to find a safe in this area with good rewards for these levels. Thus, the world of Will To Live Online becomes more filled.


Lock-picking of the doors is now interactive and directly depends on your skills as a player.



Players have to find the correct sequence of the pins. As a reward for lock-picking (in addition to the items already available), the player who opens the lock will be able to get additional valuable loot in the stashes behind this door. Thus, by opening doors with lockpicks, players will receive more valuable loot than before.

1) The difficulty of lock-picking is determined by the number of pins.
2) Attempts to press the pins (both successful and unsuccessful) can break lockpicks. A failed attempt has a higher chance to break the lockpick.
3) The corresponding Engineer skills will no longer increase the chance of lockpicking, but increase the chance of saving lockpicks.
4) Boxes behind closed doors (many, but not all) now realize they are hidden behind these doors. After opening the lock of the door for the character who performed this opening, it becomes possible to receive additional loot in one of the boxes that are behind this door. Moreover, the quantity and quality of loot are depend on the complexity of the castle, and the “bonus” itself is valid only once after the fact of opening. Then the more difficult the hacked door lock, the better the reward.
5) In the "Canyon" location the doors at the outposts are closed with 4 pins locks - they are easy enough to crack (approximately 7-15 seconds). We didn't make these doors difficult to open, as players use closed doors as a tactical element.

Use the WSAD keys and the spacebar to control lock picking.


The color correction of the "Dead Forest' location has been made. Now, this location looks even more atmospheric at any time of the day and in any weather at the maximum settings.






Players can no longer search for letters on the keyboard while fishing. While fishing, you need to hold the fish so that it does not fall off the line and gently pull it out when it gets tired of resisting.

• A new recipe has been added: Melted Bear Fat.
  
• Added a new recipe: Fried Heart of the Hog of the Coast.
  
• Removed all debuffs from fried Crab Heart.
  
• Added new in-game achievements.
  
• Fixed incorrect inscription on the Kite-2 scope.
  
• Added new quests in the "Tunnels" and in the "Forestry" locations.

• The problem with some boxes that could not be inspected has been fixed at the "Coast" location
  
• The problem with some boxes that could not be inspected has been fixed at the “Minaev’s Territory” location.
  
• Silencer skins have been added to the in-game store.
  
• Fixed a problem with the “Radio” anomaly in the “Forestry” location in sector D2-1.
  
• The quest “Bear Meat” in the “Swamp” location now displays the quest point on the mini-map when completing the quest.
  
• Fixed a problem with the localization of notes from the “Exclusion Zone” location.

• AMD FSR technology has been updated to version 2.1.2.

Fighters, the Lunar New Year event has begun!



The Old man in a white robe has reappeared in many settlements! Again, he told the story that if you appease the elemental spirits, you can get not only their location and favor but also a reward. Complete this Old man's quests to appease five Elemental Spirits and earn themed weapon skins! All tasks can only be completed once. Also, in exchange for fillers of each of the colors, you can get a can of special paint that reacts to your weapon shots! In addition, you will be rewarded with holiday snacks for completing quests in the game.



Special holiday packs have been added in the in-game store, which contain not only snacks and paint but also a special mask for the character.

The event will last until January 28 00:00 UTC, after which fillers will no longer appear in the game and you will have time to complete all the tasks of the Old man.

Servers stopped for maintenance, update client of the game.

Good day, fighters!

Well, the smuggler sold all the honestly stolen goods and went off in an unknown direction to get drunk about the lost excess profits. Frost Deer, characteristically, went after him.



Traders from the Canyon, Testing Grounds, and Coast have expanded their assortment: they have received a batch of silencers that will fit all the most powerful weapons. Silencers are an interesting thing. They allow you to fight stealthily: the target that catches the bullet will not see the damage identifier, and where this bullet actually comes from. But there is a price to pay for stealth. Silencers increase accuracy, but reduce damage - this is indicated in the description of both the silencers themselves and in the weapon description after they are installed. Moreover, silencers reduce damage not from the base value, but from the final one. Therefore, here some players may have misunderstandings, but everything is smooth there.

In the Tunnels location, Alyosha, wearing very high-quality branded music headphones, has new tasks that open a line of nine quests. Also, seven mini-quests appeared in the Exclusion Zone location. Objects in the Testing Grounds and Coast locations have been optimized. We also fixed issues with the crabs from the "Coast", now they spawn correctly.

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

Fighters! We have bad news! There is no Santa this time ːsteamsadː. He tried to get to the Solnechniy but chose the path through the Eastern Territories, and there he was met by bandits! They took away all the gifts, and now the Smuggler sells these goods in the settlements.

One of the deer that was in Santa Claus's New Year's cortege became furious and began to exterminate all people without Santa because in his soul there was an insult to everything human. Such is the New Year, fighters. But that's not all ːsteamfacepalmː



Loners in general, are out, in uncertainty: it is not clear how to continue to live, but they manage to cope somehow, without bread and salt. It is also rumored that the gift cards that are so interesting to the Smuggler can now be obtained from a deer much more than before. But, fighters, that’s all about your luck.

From the Smuggler you can get some Christmas snacks, New Year clothes, a very rare S&W .500 Special, and a special weapon paint can - Frost. This paint can is not simple, and not all weapons can be painted with it. Only the most popular. Normal men will not be confused by this, since there is nothing to spend paint on every little thing, but the fact that weapons painted in “Frost” can be placed into premium storage is appreciated by fighters.



The Smuggler also told that those who can't afford the hunt for Frost Deer, can get gift cards by clearing locations from simpler monsters: well, from bog belches, and sun spiders, and completing all sorts of events. It doesn't drop like "cheese rolled in butter", but on the other hand, you can collect something according to the level - there will be a lot of time. Also, Minaev does not recommend wasting time in the Mine. However, who cares. That's the end of the fairy tale, and who stole the candy?


Christmas bundles have been added to the in-game store. For players who don't want to waste their time on receiving gift cards, the store has the opportunity to buy the "Frost" paint and see it with the carpet on the background.



A new item has appeared in the in-game store: “Premium Pickaxe”. In addition to the fact that it has inscriptions in an incomprehensible language, it has less weight, breaks down 4 times slower than the “advanced pickaxe” and can be placed in the inventory of an account. Cheap and rich!


- Frost Deer got new abilities;
- The number of gift cards that can be received for completing the Frost Deer event has been increased by 2 times;
- Frost Deer's "Ice Block" special attack no longer knocks weapons out of hand;
- Rifles now deal 2x more damage to Frost Deer than before. This should have a positive effect on hunters;
- Frost Deer damage range increased to 100 meters. Those using scope sights will now be able to fight the Deer at a safer distance;
- Increased the radius of the Frost Deer event to 150 meters;
- Deer's little helpers no longer jump on the character and no longer punch him in the face. However, these small robbers can throw snowballs at you;
- You can get the Frost paint from the smuggler, which can be applied to the following weapons: MSR-10, M16, MSR-12, L96A1, Thunder, Vepr-12, SPAS-12, SMG90, and WSC PDW. Weapons painted with this paint can be placed in the account inventory;
- The “Identification Transparency” setting now also affects equipment identification;
-The 3D view of the weapon model (and other items) is now made in a warm lamp style.

Cards can be collected immediately after the release of the update, and their appearance will end in the game on January 10, 2023 at 00:00 UTC (03:00 Moscow time). By tradition, after the end of the promotion, all cards and the Smuggler himself will disappear. All gifts received from the Smuggler will remain with you (including purchased items). Christmas sets will be removed from the store along with the Smuggler.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, fighters! 🎄

Good day, fighters!

Today we released a minor update in which we paid special attention to the game's performance during massive and dynamic PVP battles. However, these improvements affect not only PVP but the entire gameplay in general. We reached about 10-15% increased performance during the capturing roadblocks, depending on the situation and the hardware the game client is running on.


- Some objects in the "Canyon" that negatively affected the frame time in the base area were optimized;
- Optimized the animation of the characters from the third person. Now, at medium and long distances, character animations have become somewhat “simplified”. This should reduce the load on the system with a large number of players without losing the quality of the gameplay;
- A slight optimization of the material of the protective dome at roadblocks;
- NPC and monster animations have been optimized similarly to character animations, only in this case we used a more aggressive animation simplification mechanism;
- Displaying of the received damage indicator has been accelerated. Now, even with a very frequent display of this indicator, there is no performance reduction;
- Fixed bugs in the design of the location "Canyon";
- The sound of the "Graviconcentrate" anomaly has become more pronounced and noticeable;
- Added 10 new compositions of the "Radiant" band on the radio in the game.
