ZERO Sievert News

Hunters,

As we near the rollout of Update 0.41, we wish to express our deep gratitude for your invaluable feedback and patience. 0.41 is taking a little longer than we originally planned, as we are squashing both big and small bugs. Please bear with us.

[h3]What's coming in 0.41[/h3]

• AI Recoil Overhaul: You've spoken, and we've listened! A pivotal change in this update is the introduction of recoil to AI's weapons. AI enemies will now experience the same recoil mechanics as players, ensuring fairer combat that you've all been requesting. The recoil level is tied to the AI enemies' level; the higher the AI tier, the better their recoil control. This means Lazar will have much better aim than your ordinary bandits. Check out the videos below to see the AI's new recoil dynamics!

• UI & Functionality Overhaul: This update brings a significant overhaul to the game's UI, with a special focus on enhancing functionality. We're aiming to make the UI more intuitive and efficient for all players, and paving the way for future features like inventory sorting.
  
  
• Controller Support (and Steam Deck): Finally, the much-anticipated controller support arrives, it opens up more ways of dying in enjoying ZERO Sievert. By the way, you can already enjoy ZERO Sievert on Steam Deck while we work on full Deck verification.
  

[h3]What's Coming Next[/h3]

While Update 0.41 marks significant advancements, the excitement doesn't stop here. We're cooking some thrilling content and features for our next major update that promise to electrify you like never before. Stay tuned for more information.

Stay vigilant, and happy hunting in Zakov!

Hunters,

As the festive season wraps up in Zakov, we're rolling out update 0.40.26 with a few tweaks and fixes to keep your hunting smooth and challenging.

[h2]Patchnotes[/h2]

🎅 Santa's Seasonal Visit Ends: Santa has packed up and returned to the North Pole, so he won't be spawning anymore.

🎒 Santa's Magical Backpack: The magic has faded! Ergonomics and speed buffs have been reduced to 0% from the festive 300%.

🎯 Quest Fix: The daily quest "Kill x amount of y enemies" had a hiccup, but no more! Kills are now properly counted towards quest progression.



🔮 Looking Ahead:

As we bid farewell to Santa, remember that there's always something exciting around the corner in ZERO Sievert. Controller support is getting closer every day, as are the UI functionality changes. We're also making further tweaks and additions to Gunplay 2.0. Plus, we've got even more thrilling content in the pipeline. Stay tuned for more updates and keep your survival skills sharp!

Happy Hunting! 🏹
