Electrostorm extension

Extended Electrostorm event until September 30.

Volume system rework

We've reworked the volume system to establish a unified baseline and allow for more precise audio balancing in the future.

• Adjusted and rebalanced general game volume.

• All volume sliders are now set to 100 by default.

If the current settings seem too loud, please adjust the sliders to your preference.

Duel maps rework

Updated the visuals and layouts of Depot and Warehouse duel maps.

While reworking them, we aimed to preserve the original vision of the locations, making only minor changes to improve navigation. The main goal of the update is to bring the duel maps in line with the game's current visual style.

This is the first batch of updated locations. The remaining duel maps are also in progress, and you'll soon get to see their new look.

Zen selling list update

Updated list of items that Zen buys with season currency.

Pancor Jackhammer

Centipede style for TEC-9

Diapason style for Brigand

Rat King style for Phantom Hunter

Shout style for Steyr AUG A3

Cauterizer

Ice Pick

Bone Knife

Ritual Hatchet

Cleaver

Old Sickle

First Season Pack

A vague silhouette that appears with every mention. Blurred figures constantly moving in the shadows of the corners... Maybe you can find something in the fishie box that will help you get rid of this obsession? Next come three Aesthete Case IV, 50 Season Levels (bound), and 50 Overdrives. And for the particularly religious, the set includes two charms, each featuring a random excerpt from a prayer. Amen.

Other

  • Moved language settings to a separate section in the game settings.

  • When changing the interface language, NPC names, quest names, quest markers, etc. are now updated in real time to match the selected language.
