Good day, fighters!
Welcome update 0.59.1! Stock up on burn ointment — you’ll need it more than ever because this update brings something new and hot!
Adventure Master
In the remote corners of the “Tunnels” location, you can now encounter the Adventure Master. He is ready to take you on a journey aboard his railcar, sending you on a distant adventure in search of unique experiences, freebies, and riches!
In the first adventure (and there are more to come!), you’ll have to fight your way through portals, battling hordes of monsters, until you finally come face to face with the fiery embodiment of terror—the Gibliont!
To embark on an adventure, players must apply through the Arena Master. For this, we have created a special interface.
Characters who have already participated in the event are automatically placed on a blacklist for 24 hours and cannot reapply for the same adventure. Players who have applied but did not make it into the adventure can simply wait for the next group—no need to submit another application. However, to avoid missing your turn and ensure your departure, you must stay in the “Tunnels” location and keep an eye on the recruitment process.
Requirements for Adventure #1:
• Character Level: 20-50
• Minimum Players Required: 15
• Maximum Players Allowed: 20
• Adventure Participation Limit: 1 time per day per character
During the adventure, players can earn a variety of consumables and useful items, including repair kits to restore weapons and armor after battles, as well as improve repair skill.
But that’s not all! Among the rewards, you may also find weapons such as the VSS “Vintorez”, “Zastava”, SPAS-12, and UMP, all featuring unique M3 modifications.
Modification parameters of these guns are dynamically generated, making each weapon unique in its characteristics. Furthermore, these weapons can be upgraded (M6 and beyond), allowing them to remain relevant even at higher levels, competing with level 35 weapons. At the same time, they are cheaper, easier to maintain, and use more accessible ammunition.
Please understand that this adventure may contain bugs, minor issues, and potential balance adjustments. However, in our opinion, its difficulty level is not excessively high, so complaints like “this is impossible to complete” will not be considered.
Enhanced Recoil Animations
Our team agrees with players that hip-fire shooting in the game was overly simplified, making weapons feel weightless and the mechanics too casual. While we recognize that some players prefer this style, we decided to listen to the part of the community that seeks a more realistic and tactile combat experience.
As a result, we have reworked the shooting animation. Now, it features a more noticeable visual recoil, making it feel much heavier and impactful, rather than resembling shots from a water gun. This adjustment affects all weapons in the game.
Additionally, we have improved burst-fire efficiency for most automatic weapons. The first 2–3 shots will now have maximum accuracy with minimal recoil buildup and spread. This change ensures that firing in short bursts remains highly effective.
We hope you enjoy this update, and that these animation improvements positively enhance your gameplay experience!
New In-game Store Design & New Armor Set
In this update, we have significantly redesigned the in-game store, making it more user-friendly for navigating through categories. We’ve also introduced several useful improvements, including one-click purchases and other small tweaks to enhance overall convenience and usability.
Additionally, a new affordable armor set, the “Newbie Biker Set”, has been added in several color variations. This set is designed for players who have reached level 7 and serves as an excellent alternative to the “Gorka” suit. It offers slightly improved environmental protection and significantly reduced wear and tear.
Rewards Balance in the “Foothills” Location
We have made improvements to the reward system for the losing side in battles within the “Foothills” location. Previously, players who lost a match could receive only 30% of the total reward pool, calculated based on the points they earned. Now, this rate has been increased to 60%, ensuring that players receive fair compensation for their efforts, even in defeat. We believe this change will boost player motivation, especially for those who previously lost interest in battles, and will make fights more fair and intense.
Additionally, the list of allowed equipment for placement in the “Foothills” has been adjusted: only caches (including premium ones), MHP, and mortars can now be deployed. Other equipment, including campfire kits, is now prohibited.
