The Holiday event has begun, featuring daily gifts and unique cosmetic rewards. More details are available in a separate news post.
The SKS has been added to the game. It can be found in a new stash on the Garage Cooperative location.
Weapons and other items can now be extracted from raids directly in your hands. ⚠ IMPORTANT Adding this feature required a major overhaul of the entire weapon saving system - including weapon storage on the body, the weapon rack, and several related systems (dirt system, reload hint system, and skin system). Most importantly, the new system uses a different data format for storing this information. I’ve done my best to make this transition as seamless as possible. All old save data should be converted automatically. However, while unlikely, issues such as missing weapons or attachments are still possible. Please be understanding if you encounter any problems.
Additional benefits of the new saving system:
Laser and flashlight states (on/off) are now saved when changing locations
The vise in the room now works as a full-fledged weapon storage slot
The store now allows purchasing duplicates of any weapon
