In-game event3 Sep 2026Patch 0.2.4 - Faction Trust and Reputation SystemFaction Trust System Now your actions will affect your relations with factions. If you play it cool with a certain faction for a good amount of time, they will start to trust you and you will have certain benefits. Doing many jobs for a faction will slowly make them like you and after a certain threshold their attitude toward you will change. This can also be in a negative way. If you attack a…
Better Item Placement System Placing or moving items is now much better with a system that basically shows you a “ghost” of the item which you can move around with surface snapping and rotate to place it wherever you want safely. This works for both when dropping items from your inventory or just moving an already dropped item around. Organizing your items is now much easier! One other change t…
Open Buildings Now every building is enterable! Every building has interiors and can be explored freely. This means you will have more places you can loot and use as cover. Of course NPCs can also have more places they can hide and sneak up on you now. We also have alternate interior arrangments for some of the buildings to break the repetitions. Basically furniture placements will be different…

These drones will hunt their target down and explode when it’s in close…

With the addition of gasmasks we also have a radiation exposure meter…
