Obstacles under the Dome and how to overcome them

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

Employees, the Dome is a scary place full of dangers. A deadly threat awaits you around every corner. Being prepared for every whim of fate is the only way to survive.

To save you, valiant engineers have created devices that every adventurer needs. Today we'll tell you about just a few of them.

Jetpack

What do you do when a cliff blocks the way? It's dangerous to jump off, and it takes a long time to go around. And who knows what dangers await you on the way. In situations like these, a jetpack will come to your rescue. Once created exclusively for military purposes, now this technological miracle can help you move even on steep cliffs.

Portable teleporter

Found a secret passage, but a mine blocks the way? No problem! Use the portable teleporter on a nearest enemy and introduce him to the mine.

The device developed by Wesley is capable of moving targets, including people, just like teleportation of psionics. With this device any obstacle is no match for you.

Harpoon

A cyber hyena is shooting at your squad from above? The harpoon was designed especially for such cases. Despite its compact size, it can pull to you almost any creature under the Dome. Just one push of a button separates you from sweet revenge.

Weapons under the Dome

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

This week we'll tell you how to defend yourself in the wastelands under the Dome. We'll help you choose the best weapons and talk about the achievements of the brightest minds of mankind.

Boreas

CRONUS engineers created the Boreas cryo-laser to capture hostile flora and fauna for scientific purposes. Most of these devices were lost because of the Incident. Only some models were saved thanks to the great leadership of the New Committee. Now every rich employee or just a lucky one can get their hands on this splendid weapon for one-on-one duels. Your enemy won’t be able to move at all!

Careful, explosives!

Our surveillance cameras have detected a new anomaly in the behavior of the robokids. Everyone knows that many of them are out of control and attack humans at the first sight. But who knew that they could even explode in your face. This is a truly formidable foe, who doesn't even value their own lifes.

Improved Disk Thrower Ammo

Carmine Heights engineers have improved the already deadly disc throwers. The projectiles are now faster and more visible, and most importantly, they can hit even more targets in one shot. If you're a lone wolf, the new disc thrower models were made just for you.

New Residents of the Dome

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

This week we escaped one of the most dangerous creatures under the Dome, found one of the forgotten warehouses with a batch of brand new Cronus jackets, and also found a great place to fish!

Devourer

When it seemed that humanity had seen all horrors of the Dome, something unimaginable fell into the lens of our crew. A black obelisk, covered on all sides with human bodies. It seemed that this living mass wanted to say something, but all that could be heard were moans and illegible screams. Our journalist did not try his luck and ran away. Who knows, perhaps under the Dome there are still brave men left, who're ready to approach this nightmare.

Cronus Jacket

Incredible luck smiled on travelers and fans of stylish equipment. In the wastelands under the Dome, a forgotten warehouse filled with brand new CRONUS leather jackets has been found. Now every traveler can buy one of those from many shops throughout the Dome. Stock up on combonds, people!

Perfect place to fish

This past weekend, our editorial staff traveled extensively and found a true paradise under the Dome. Rocky coastline, relatively clear water, and no mutants or animals to disturb your vacation. We even kindly left a set of fishing gear here in case any of our readers happen to be there. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to catch not only fish for dinner, but also a useful artifact.

Recent Findings under the Dome

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

This week our reporters visited the most secluded corners under the Dome and wrote about the most unusual finds. You'll find out how Maelstrom followers have fun, what kinds of servoshell armor you can still find under the Dome, and where you definitely shouldn't go.

Church Slot Machines

What can be better than the rest after a productive day? Of course, an evening at the slot machines, where everyone can double or even triple their money! The winnings are handed out by the attentive staff of the church. They know exactly how much you’re owed. If you come without money, you can always borrow it from the church. The main thing is to not forget to return the money, because the church does not tolerate thieves and debtors.

Servoshell Armor

Servoshell armor is one of the major achievements of the destroyed CRONUS Corporation. Variants of this heavy armor have protected almost every settlement under the Dome to this day. Which of those four variants would you use?

Forgotten Hospital

Who would have thought there was an abandoned hospital hiding in the wasteland? Our journalists immediately visited the new place.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the hospital was crawling with all kinds of mutants, who had been given incredible powers by the Maelstrom. The journalists barely managed to escape. We do not recommend going on a scouting trip without proper preparation, no matter how much the medicine beckons you.

Escape from the Labyrinth of Death

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

For the latest issue we have prepared a video report detailing psionics, an amazing ability of living beings discovered under the Dome. We also stopped by the Roadside Picnic gas station to see if our old friend Melvin is all right. And we prepared an exclusive interview with the man who made it out of the Death Labyrinth alive.

Psionics Report

Even before the incident, psionics caught the attention of CRONUS scientists. The corporation was spending enormous resources to unlock the secrets of these amazing abilities of living beings. But this was only the tip of the iceberg. It was those who survived the incident who were able to fully master the psi abilities. It seems that under the influence of the Maelstrom, the psionic abilities of every inhabitant of the Dome increased several times over! Many would no longer need special gloves. But what was the price for such enormous powers?

From our report you will learn everything that mankind knows about psionics at the moment!

Labyrinth of Death

Such an ominous name went to the former CRONUS prison bunkers. Not only did our editorial team manage to meet the man who escaped from the Labyrinth, but we also got a picture from a surveillance camera. It appears that the rumors about this place are true. The prison was merely a cover for CRONUS's inhuman experiments. Mountains of corpses, traces of monstrous experiments and brutal executions are scattered literally everywhere. It is frightening to imagine under what pretext all these people were sent to prison and what experiments they underwent before their deaths.

But there are always those who will enjoy chaos. A small squad of Fops settled inside and is doing just fine. So how did our hero manage to get out of such a dangerous place? Perhaps it is better to remain a secret.

Gas Station after the Incident

A pleasant surprise awaited us at the familiar gas station. Old Man Melvin survived the Incident and is feeling fine! After getting comfortable around the fire with a famous stew, our editorial staff asked the owner about the changes that had taken place at the gas station.

It was no longer just a staging post, but a real settlement, although not a large one. Melvin and his friends installed a water supply and even got rid of the toxic anomalies in the basement. "Roadside Picnic" became livable! An important task of the locals is to maintain order and safety. Turrets are working and ready to defend the settlement. And the basement under the diner became the local prison.
