[p] [/p][h2]Hi there! 🙌[/h2][p][/p][h3]With each passing month, the Zone becomes more and more dangerous. There are new, undiscovered areas to explore, new enemies – both human and those beyond human imagination – and yet more dangerous tasks to complete. And believe us, this isn't all we have in store for you...[/h3][p]
The arsenal of weapons has also expanded somewhat recently – all to ensure you have something to defend yourself in these dangerous conditions. However, as is often the case in life (and, as it turns out, in video games too), even the best weapons can be unreliable: sometimes they jam, the blade gets dull, or you run out of ammo at the most critical moment. And if that happens, what will you do?

[/p][h3]
OF COURSE NOT! [/h3][p][/p][p]You just start throwing whatever you have at hand at your opponents. And we're not talking about rocks or beer cans. In the latest update, you'll receive a new type of weapon: throwable weapons. These include:
[/p][p]▶️ Grenades (fragmentation and EMP), which will harm anyone caught in the blast radius [/p][p][/p][p]▶️ Knives (remember the Navajas from "Desperado"?) [/p][p][/p][p]▶️ Decoys, which will lure enemies to the right spot where you can silently take them down [/p][p][/p][p]But it's not like your opponent will just stand there and wait for a giant hammer to gracefully hit them in the head. Because the days when the enemy was almost literally under the barrel of our gun will be over with this update.[/p][p]
Enemies using ranged weapons will fire them while moving and hide behind obstacles. Additionally, those using melee weapons will be more likely to block our blows and counterattack if they manage to deflect our strikes. This will make fighting human opponents a bit more demanding and tactical, contrasting with monsters, who will remain a rather not-so-bright moving target.

[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]That's all for this episode. In the next post, we'll talk a bit about the new enemies you'll face, as well as why it's worth exploring the deepest and farthest reaches of the Zone.
[/h3][hr][/hr][p] [/p][p]All that's left to say is...[/p][p][/p][h2]Take care and happy hunting! ☢️[/h2][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[h2]Hey, Chernobylite fans![/h2]

[h3]Although less than a month has passed since the release of Megapatch 04, feverish work on Megapatch 05 is underway. And it will soon enter its final phase![/h3]

What will you find in the new Megapatch? As usual, it will remain a secret until the release. We can only reveal that the Zone will open up to you again, and with it will come new attractions. You'll find about it really soon ;)



In the meantime, all that's left to say is,

[h2]Take care, and good hunting, stalkers![/h2]

[h2]Hello there![/h2][p][/p][h3]Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone has come a long way since its Early Access launch.[/h3][p][/p][p]Since the Zone's gates opened wide, we've already released several major updates in the form of Megapatches, which have significantly expanded and improved the game. We've added new content, new locations, missions, and enemies, improved a few things that were annoying you, improved optimization, rebuilt some gameplay systems and balance, and fixed a number of bugs you reported. Each of these updates was created in response to your feedback – it's thanks to your comments and suggestions that we can develop Chernobylite 2 in a direction that best meets both our vision and your expectations.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We thank each and every one of you for your commitment, patience, and activity – whether on Discord, Steam, or other channels. Your support is the foundation on which we build the game's future![/p][p][/p][p]A lot has changed in the game since March. So if you haven't played Chernobylite 2 yet, or if you did but for some reason you stopped playing, now's your chance to see just how much things have changed in recent months. [/p][p][/p][p]We treat this moment as a kind of pit stop - we say “check,” suggesting that this is a really good time to see how much has changed in Chernobylite 2 since its early access release. That's why we strongly encourage you to check out the game at this very point and give us clear and concise feedback on what you think about the current state of the Exclusion Zone - especially if you haven't done so yet. We would be grateful! And we also believe that this will enable us to deliver an even better product to you at the official launch![/p][p][/p][p]We believe you won't be disappointed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]But our journey together isn't over yet. More updates, new content, and further gameplay refinements lie ahead. In other words, the game will continue to evolve. That's why we still need your help – not just in the form of bug reports. [/p][p][/p][p]One of the simplest, yet most important ways you can support the game's development is by leaving a review on Steam. Every review – whether it's full of praise or constructive criticism – is invaluable to us. It's not only valuable feedback for us (it helps us understand what's working in the game and what still needs work), but also important information for the entire community and potential new players. Your reviews affect the game's visibility on the Steam store, which helps us grow and push the project forward. If you've played and have something to say – share it on Steam. It really makes a difference. [/p][p][/p][h3]If you've played Chernobylite 2 and have something to say – don't wait, share it on Steam and leave your review. It really makes a difference.[/h3][p][/p][h3]Thank you again & see you in the Zone! 💚[/h3][h3][/h3][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
