[h3]What's New:[/h3]
- Added a new open area – the forest. This map is much larger than the previous two, so its size is limited in the first two raids.
- Added a new enemy type – wolves.
- Added a new skinning mechanic (for wolves and demons).
- Added a new weapon – crossbow, along with a pack of bolts (bolts are available in the store; to unlock the crossbow you need to complete the new questline).
- Added a new character and their questline, which becomes available at reputation level two.
- Added new weapon attachments: offset foregrip, canted sight, and 6x scope (all found only during raids).
- New character sound system: arm-swinging sounds, new backpack sounds depending on its load. Combined with whether you're sneaking, walking, or running, these now affect stealth and how enemies detect you.
- Added water physics for the canteen.
- New dialogue lines for scientists and military personnel at the base (starting corridor).
- A new belt position adjustment feature added to the settings (distance control).
- Added avatar body rotation settings (instant – follows head movement exactly, or smart – allows some head rotation without body turning).
- New animations for attaching suppressors and loading revolver rounds.
- When enemy bodies disappear, their loot no longer vanishes with them, but falls to the ground from their pockets.
- Cigarettes can now be pulled out of the pack by hand, not just by bringing the pack to your mouth.
- Optimized many scripts that previously had a heavy CPU load. Performance on older locations has improved.
- Small improvements to bandit AI, which, combined with bug fixes, make fights against them, especially stealth encounters, more engaging (more details below).
- New competitive season. Previous leaderboard results have been reset – grab the chance to climb to the top (this doesn’t affect earned rewards; unlocked knife and revolver will remain).
[h3]Changes:[/h3]
- Progress reset has been removed from the in-game menu and is now in the main menu under "New Game".
- The threshold for earning the NKVD knife from the raid leaderboard has been lowered from 12,000 to 10,000 points.
- Slightly increased the speed of transferring ammo between boxes and magazines, and similar actions.
- No more need to open an ammo box first to take out rounds one at a time using the button.
- On maximum graphics settings, the headlamp now also casts shadows.
- Increased the time before enemy bodies disappear on high and maximum settings.
- The Stechkin pistol now defaults to automatic fire mode when purchased, rather than single shot (you can still toggle modes).
- You can no longer drink, eat, smoke, or whistle while wearing a gas mask (hazmat suit).
- PSO scope is now called 4x Scope.
- You no longer need to hold the PDA before scanning an item. You can now pick up the item first, then the PDA.
- The yellow sticky-note about the base shop has been updated to better explain mechanics for new players.
- The yellow stash sticky-note now also indicates where weapons can be stored.
- The increased demand feature has been moved from the first tab of the PDA to the third.
- PPSh two-handed grip has been adjusted to be less realistic but less buggy and more convenient.
- For the missing hunter quest, you now have to go to the Garage Cooperative location.
- For the stash quest, you now have to visit the Underground Facility location.
- Quests now show which location they need to be completed in.
- Instead of abstract difficulty levels, enemy types are now listed on the location cards.
- Muzzle flash effects no longer include distortion.
- Bandits in combat no longer sprint recklessly toward the player but cautiously approach when they lose contact.
- Bandits can now retreat slightly when hit in melee to maintain distance.
- Procedural hit reactions from gunfire have been slightly enhanced for better shooting impact.
- Dispatcher messages now play a little less frequently.
[h3]Fixes:[/h3]
- Fixed a bug where bandits could detect the player while facing away.
- Fixed a bug where stealth only worked on the first bandit, and all subsequent enemies immediately engaged in combat, skipping the alert phase.
- Fixed a bug where a lone bandit would mistake a dog for an ally and speak lines as if another bandit were nearby during combat XD
- Fixed a bug where bandits could sometimes shoot through walls (though not guaranteed).
- Fixed numerous bugs related to combat music playing.
