New Spider-Khan cave, Lubech and PvP seasons
NEW SPIDER-KHAN CAVE
In the northern part of the Lubech’s Suburbs there are a number of natural caves, which probably became part of the mysterious experiment of scientists from the “Science Laboratory”. Now there, behind a thick metal door, a gigantic spider dwells - the “zero specimen," as scientists call it. A creature that should not have appeared, and whose connection with the events in the Lubech’s Suburbs is still not completely clear. It is difficult to find a more dangerous place in this region and take risks, because only a well-armed and trained group can go down there.
Spider Khan’s Cave was redesigned and now divided into two parts, one of which has remained virtually unchanged, and the second is a dungeon designed for 5 people. Khan himself, now is only inside the dungeon. Moreover, in order to enter the players must be in the squad (at least two). The entrance to the updated cave is on the left, immediately after entering the “classic” cave.

For passing the encounters of the dungeon, the stalkers automatically receive “Black Sleeves”, which they can exchange for various valuable items from the Specialist, which can be found in the Neighborhoods of Lubech (near the White Village), Airport (near the money changer), Radius village and on the Radio Tower.
Note! If you do not pass the dungeon from the beginning (for example, you joined the group already on Paukan), then the sleeve for the third boss is not awarded.
In addition, players always gain experience and valuable loot for completing the dungeon.

Players holding a “Volcano Keeper’s Head” will find that it is now called “Damaged Volcano Keeper’s Head”. You can also give it to Vanya Hell, or fix it at Mitka that on Radius and take it to the Khan’s Cave to become participants in a special event and, if successful, get additional loot.
If you have failed, you can continue through the dungeon, progress (including successful completion) is reset every day at 7:00 (CET for EU and EST for US).
If you join a group that has already passed one or two stages, you will receive a reward only for the stages you completed, while in order to receive a reward for complete completion you still need to go through all the stages. Progress is considered the leader of the group.
If you leave the group - you teleport to the entrance to the dungeon.

NPC and Quests.
Until now, the history of the emergence of the Zone and the events that occur in it have been difficult to put together into a coherent picture of the world. We are beginning to consistently correct this omission. So, in this update you will find Lubech, completely redesigned from the point of view of plotting the plot. We hope that what is happening in it and in its surroundings will now become clearer. In this regard, almost all tasks in Lyubech were redone: some of the quest lines were removed from the game, some were reworked, and a number of completely new stories were added. However, one should not think that the history of the Zone will be revealed completely in Lyubech - this is only the tip of the plot iceberg. As a result, the truth may turn out to be completely different from what it seems at first glance.
Completely redesigned most of the tasks in Lubech. In particular, the main storylines appeared about the creation of the world and the zone, which will be continued in the future. To start, talk to Kolya Acid, at the train station.
Players who did not pass the new “Station” can fill the gap in the story missions by talking with Kolya Acid. He (and also Greek) start a new plot. For “old” players, the plot unfolds in a lightweight form, without the need, for example, to undergo training.
Some of the old quests will be replaced automatically.
The “Information Gathering” quest will NOT be automatically replaced, but Alex (from the Lyubech Police Department) will give another assignment if you talk to him.
Quest “Brothers: a service to a bandit.” was cut back - now it does not have a part about debt collection. In addition, this task can now be canceled. If you have it open and the task does not concern the delivery of the parcel, we advise you to cancel it and (if you wish) take it again.
The character Sisyphus left Lubech and now he can be found at the fortification point of Imarek in the Neighborhoods.
Deleted Tasks (they are deleted upon entering the game with a partial reward if they were taken but not completed):
Replaced tasks (Deleted, but replaced by similar ones. If they are open at the time of the update, instead of them, other tasks MAY be associated automatically, in meaning):
In the next updates, in addition to introducing new locations, all existing maps (starting from Neighborhoods) will develop the plot started on Lyubec, and tasks will be redone in the same way as done on Lyubec, new full storylines will be introduced.
Kolya Baranka no longer rides to Lubech
Added quests for members of the groups that own the fortifications "GOK_Zapad", "Novikovo" and "Khvorostovka", as well as for their allies. As a reward for most of them, you can get Vanya Hell's “trade points”. At the fortifications “GOK-West” and “Khvorostovka”, the players performing these tasks also participate in the general competition. Upon completion, the three most active stalkers will receive an additional reward. After the end of the competition, access to the tasks will be limited for 8 hours (until the start of the next stage).
An NPC named "The Harvester" is lost in the Zone. His place was taken by “Chemist”. With the help of Vanya Hell's men, he completely remodeled the former Harvester's lair. We strongly advise you to keep silence about this.
The zone hides a lot from the eyes. You can make sure of this by going through a new quest chain. The only thing that is reliably known about it is that it is associated with aircraft.
Environment and locations
The passage to the Lubech’s suburb through the basement in the Palace of Culture is now guarded by Shtaket Bandits
Interface
Now, if there are more items in the inventory than is required for the quest, the player will be shown the full number of available items
The “Events” tab has been added to the log window (J button), which displays information about past events and dungeons.
Now the names of players added as friends will be highlighted in green
Now players will not receive mail from those they added to the ignored list
Now you can delete parcels at any storekeeper without going all the way to him
