We have released version 0.6.18, which includes various improvements and refinements aimed at enhancing the game’s visuals, improving gameplay, and increasing the usability of certain in-game items. Changelog Added the ability to quickly switch between grenade types. Previously, using different types of grenades (fragmentation, healing, EMP, defensive) required opening the inventory, which took precious time in critical combat situations. Now, by holding down the quick grenade throw key, you can switch between all available grenade types. This allows you to quickly select the one you need and use it without opening the inv |

| Patch for version 0.6.16 | 2026-02-17 | Good day, fighters!Today we released a patch for version 0.6.16 with the following improvements. The most important change in this version addresses the queue issue for participating in Adventures. Adventure Master Queues When submitting an application to join an Adventure, you will no longer be removed from the queue if you are not in the required location (or even offline) at the moment of departure - provided that your absence does not exceed 6 hours. This means that if you see a long queue, you can estimate your expected waiting time in advance and safely head off to another Adventure or visit other locations while going about your busine |

Now, in the Solnechny Outskirts location, you can encounter a new PvE event called “Highway Bandits.” This is a group of hostile NPCs that grant decent experience for these levels, and overall, they make the location feel more alive. The event moves around the map, and you can see where they’re headed. In the future, we plan to |

| Update 0.59.10 | 2025-06-12 | Figthers! We’ve released Update 0.59.10, which includes performance optimizations, bug fixes, and a number of important changes.One of the key updates is a revision to the reward system for faction outpost captures in the Foothills location. From now on, rewards for faction wars will be significantly reduced if no actual fighting took place. In other words, you can’t earn high rewards for a war if there wasn’t one. This change is intended to discourage the artificial “farming” of points (which may lead to a ban, by the way) and make the system fairer for those who truly participate in battles.We’ve also optimized the particle effects for cert |

| Update 0.59.7 – Adventure No. 3 | 2025-05-28 | Fighters! Today we’ve released Update 0.59.7, which introduces a brand-new Adventure and includes a number of bug fixes and improvements. Adventure No. 3 The Crab Farm on the Coast was originally intended to be a peaceful initiative… but reality, as always, had other plans. Years of unchecked NDP radiation exposure have led to a full-blown crab apocalypse: crustaceans began multiplying at an alarming rate, forming colonies and perceiving human structures as threats. Even worse, new and aggressive lifeforms have emerged among them - ones no one has seen before… and probably wished they hadn’t. In this new Adventure, you’ll have to defend a vil |
| Update 0.59.6 | 2025-05-14 | Fighters! We’ve successfully reproduced and confirmed most of the sound issues you reported — and fixed them! Freezes and “lags” in audio playback across various locations (including the “Dead Forest”) have been resolved. We’ve also fixed problems with the movement sounds of spiders and sun spiders, and “Adventure #1” should now run significantly more smoothly and stably. In short, we’ve taken a thorough approach to resolving these issues — thank you to everyone who helped by providing feedback! The update is now available for download. Don’t forget to update your game client! |

Our main focus was optimizing monster sounds to make “Adventure #1” run more smoothly and be more stable. In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, wartime music can now be heard in settlements. The festive atmosphere has even reached the Black Sunset Camp — the radio is now playing there too, broadcasting familiar melodies. We’ve also prepared a holiday gift for you: the promo code PROMO-VICTORYDAY, which can be activated until May 11 (inclusive). It grants 80 hours of Premium status. Besides that, other changes have been introduced: |

As part of this patch, we continued our work on optimizing sound and shot processing, which should positively impact the stability of the Adventure mode. Changes have also been made to the rewards for successfully completing Adventures: instead of the “Advanced Medkit,” players will now receive a new item — the “Adventure Medkit.” In terms of healing properties, it is similar to the advanced medkit, but with an additional effect — it removes burns.

| Update 0.58.12 | 2025-02-13 | Good day, fighters! The Lunar New Year sale and event have come to an end.
