• A new quest for obtaining the OTs-14 "Groza" has been added. The quest can be received at the "Free Stalkers" base. It’s linked to the "Cursed Tunnels" quest chain. Available only after finding the PDA with coordinates leading to the "Landfill."
  
• Added a new AKS-74U rifle. It can be found in the Zone or purchased on the "Black Market."
  
• Added a new AK-74M rifle. It can be found in the Zone or purchased on the "Black Market."
  
• Added a new sniper rifle, 17 "Ghost," which can be bought in some stores on the "Black Market" or found in the Zone.
  
• Added a new OTs-14 "Groza" rifle, which can only be found in the Zone or acquired through a quest.
  
• Added a new GLOCK 19zo pistol. It can be found in the Zone or purchased on the "Black Market."
  
• Added a new model of DESERT EAGLE; the previous model, to say the least, didn’t look very good. It can be found in the Zone or bought on the "Black Market." The old model has been removed from sale and can no longer be purchased, though it might still be found. Unlike the old model, the new one can be modified.
  
• Added a new collimator sight TN20112024. It can be found in the Zone or purchased on the "Black Market."
  
• Added a new tactical laser SE119G. It can be found in the Zone or purchased on the "Black Market."
  
• Added two new magazines for the AK family of rifles; the old model has been discontinued, making it a rare item. However, it can still be found in the Zone.
  
• Added a new ammo box for the OTs-14 "Groza," which can be bought on the "Black Market."
  
• Added another weapon rack at the "Free Stalkers" base. At the request of one of the players — I think they’ll know who I’m talking about. :)
  
• Returning players at the base can find a gift of three full magazines for the AK.

• The AKS-74 has been removed from sale on the "Black Market" and is now considered a rare item in the Zone, though it can still occasionally be found there.
  
• The tutorial mission can now be skipped, even if it’s your first time playing. To do this, simply click "Start Game" on the panel when the level begins, and you’ll jump right into gameplay. Previously, it could only be skipped after completing it at least once.
  
• The economic aspect of the game has been revised. Some weapons have increased in price, while others have become slightly cheaper.
  
• The AI-Life system has been improved: now there will be more random encounters and skirmishes in many locations.
  
• The selection of items in the "Black Market" shops has been slightly modified and expanded. Currently, they can be found at the following locations: "Free Stalkers Base," "Shelter 05," "Outpost."
  
• Fixed the quest description for the AFU renegades; after completing the task, the PDA would still show the quest, indicating that you still needed to find and eliminate them.
  
• Workbench improvements: previously, when attaching a flashlight or laser pointer to a weapon, it would turn on for a second and then turn off. This has now been fixed.
  
• Improved certain building textures.
  
• Improved some weapon textures.
  
• Various tweaks made to certain levels.
  
• Fixed some bugs that could impact game progression.

Remember, stalkers: I read all your suggestions and comments and try to respond promptly, provided they’re not just "everything is broken" without details :). The Zone is constantly changing, and each trip into it is a new challenge. Stay alert and cautious. Good luck out there! There’s much more awaiting you!
