Greetings, fighters! Today, we’ve released Update 0.58.8, which marks the start of the winter event!
Frost Deer
The winter world boss, the Frost Deer, returns with some changes to its combat mechanics and rewards. Battles with the Frost Deer are now even more festive and fun! But that doesn’t mean it has become weaker or kinder. It will definitely be fun, though!
The Frost Deer can now only be encountered at night, just like other seasonal bosses. As before, defeating this mighty creature allows players to earn the most gift cards, which can be exchanged for various presents from the Smuggler, who has appeared in all settlements. Additionally, defeating the Frost Deer rewards players with various useful resources, festive snacks, and, on rare occasions, a spray can of “Frost” paint.
At the Smuggler, you can exchange gift cards for a new weapon skin – “Snowman Rage.” This skin features animated and sound effects during intense shooting. However, the “Frost” skin is no longer available for exchange, but as mentioned earlier, it can still be earned as a reward for defeating the Frost Deer.
Additionally, the Smuggler offers holiday snacks, a Frost Bat, and the S&W .500 Special in its standard finish, which is currently available in the game only through the Smuggler. The S&W .500 Special is also included in the holiday bundle available in the in-game store. In these bundles, the revolvers feature premium “Gold” and “Silver” skins, allowing them to be added to the account inventory.
The event begins with the release of the update and will run until January 9th, 2025, inclusive (09/01/2025 19:00 UTC).
Other Changes:
• New cover objects have been added to points C and F in the “Foothills” location.

• Fixed an issue where characters could not interact with campfires while using emotes.
• Minor adjustments to the reload animation of the L96A1 have been made.
• Fixed an issue where medical items could not be used in certain situations.
