| Patch 0.2.7 - Localization and Artwork Update | 2026-10-09 | Hello everyone! This update is a little small, I have been working on implementing a new system for the localization. We also have some updates on animations! LocalizationAs you all know localization is done by the amazing contributors. We were using Crowdin to localize the game but the pricing made it hard to support a lot of languages. Many people who wanted to localize the game to their own language were left out unfortunately. So we switched to Weblate, now we are not restricted by a subscription model. If you like to help us localize the game to your language please join the discord!Any language that has 70% completion rate will be avail |

| Patch 0.2.4 - Faction Trust and Reputation System | 2026-09-03 | Faction Trust SystemNow 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 certain faction way too many times they will start to hate you.Best way of increasing trust with a faction is doing jobs for them. Helping a wounded operative can also improve your relations with his factions since he might spread good rumours about you. |
| Patch 0.2.3a | 2026-08-22 | -Fixed certain jobs not counted towards “completed job” counter-Fixed burnt status persists between loads-Fixed collected debt jobgiver not recognizing you are close enough to give him the money |
| Patch 0.2.3 - New jobs, better item placement system and more... | 2026-08-19 | Better Item Placement SystemPlacing 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 that I know a lot of people will love is that stashed items will not be affected by explosion knockback! To move the item simply use your mouse. Left click will confirm the move and you can use the mouse wheel to rotate it. Green means it doesn't overlap w |
| Patch 0.2.2 - Open Buildings, PPSh and more... | 2026-07-15 | Open BuildingsNow 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 sometimes for the same buildings.New Weapon: PPShWe have a new SMG added to the collection. PPSh will be mainly used by FOA and IAB factions. It comes with a drum mag which makes it a good pick if you are not a fan of reloading too often. I find it part |

You can attach RPG warheads or grenades to FPV drones and fly them using the Droneer app in your PDA. You can either detonate the warhead or use a grenade release system to drop explosives on your target.NPCs can also deploy drones during combat. These drones will hunt their target down and explode when it’s in close vicinity.You can shoot down drones that are hunting you down or use a jammer to make them lose control.Drone Payload TypesRPG Warhead: Attaching this will turn the drone into a kamikaze type drone. You can press \ to detonate it when you are close to you |

| Patch 0.2d - Overwatch AI, Optimizations and QoL | 2026-04-13 | Patch 0.2dOverwatch AI ImprovementsNPCs occasionally put themselves in danger by recklessly running towards the enemy positions. Now they will be more careful if they know an enemy is close by. They might still run towards a cover if they are low on health or ammo etc.NPCs will now change their focus towards other known targets after killing an enemy. They usually still kept their focus on the dead enemy.One problem with NPCs was they would look at the walls while walking which really breaks the immersion. Now when they are in search mode they will not look at walls instead they look towards the direction they are walking. They might orient t |
| Patch 0.2c - Difficulty Sliders, UI/UX improvements | 2026-04-09 | Patch 0.2cUX ImprovementsIf you have unsaved changes in the settings menu the "Apply" button will flash a yellow color indicating you must apply for the changes to be saved.Added a confirmation to deleting savesChanging keybinds would apply regardless of hitting the "Apply" button. This behaviour was very confusing and now you must hit apply for keybind changes to take effectConflicting keybinds will make the key color redAdded a warning when opening saves created on older versions of the game. Most of the time old saves should be compatible but in rare occasions it might causeDifficulty SlidersThis patch introduces a set of sliders dedicated |

| Patch 0.2a_fx - Several fixes | 2026-03-31 | Patch 0.2a_f1This patch brings a new option for better physics which should solve the issue of items clipping through terrain and other objects. High Precision Physics setting can be accessed in the Game tab of the pause menu.

You can use the fire mode selector to shoot both shells at onceFixed a bug causing other items to be equipped in gasmask slotNPCs will now behave better if the last enemy is wounded |
| Patch 0.2 - Gasmasks, Backpacks, Localization and New Weapons! | 2026-03-29 | GasmasksThis is the biggest addition this update brings. In the previous devlog I talked about managing gasmasks and it’s filters etc. But during the development I realized too much micro management was not really fun so instead I wanted to keep this system simple and make sure it adds to the immersion and it’s not annoying.With the addition of gasmasks we also have a radiation exposure meter. You can see how much radiation you are getting exposed to and after a certain threshold you will need to wear a gasmask. During sand storms wearing a gasmask is also very much needed. If you don’t wear a mask then you risk getting radiation sickness.Gas |
| Patch 0.1.9c - Optimization Update | 2026-03-12 | Hello everyone!I have been working on optimizing the game for past week and it's finally here! There is not much to talk about here honestly because what went into this update is very technical. I identified the bits and pieces that caused the most frame drops and replaced that with more efficient code. You can expect about 20 to 50 FPS gain depending on your rig. Generally game will run more smoothly. Combat situations still affect the performance a little bit but it shouldn't tank your FPS like it did before. There is still room for more optimization so this is just the beginning! Please let me know how this patch affected your performance. |
| Patch 0.1.9b | 2026-03-01 | Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing good! I am still working on version 0.2 and things are going very well. Meanwhile I wanted to roll this patch to add some quality of life features and fix some bugs. Patch 0.1.9bSwitching to canted aim was not possible when you tried to do it right after you ADS. This is not an issue anymore you can instantly switch to canted aimCanted aim mode is now rememberedCanted aim will now use iron sight sensitivity instead of scoped sensitivityTree leaves will now block NPC vision. This usually became a problem when you had the high guard. NPCs would see through the leaves of the trees and it gave them an unfa |
| Devlog: What's coming for 0.2? | 2026-02-22 | Hello everyone!I hope you are all doing good! I wanted to talk about some of the new features that are in development for the next patch 0.2! As you guys know we have been doing weekly patches up until now and it worked out pretty well. But now I think we are ready to step up to version 0.2 and for this I want to add some big features. This patch will need some more time to cook so that it's ready with no issues.I would like to talk about what is coming for version 0.2 and some of the other plans and developments happening.So what is coming?GasmasksOne feature that I am excited about is the addition of the gasmasks.

| Patch 0.1.9a - Various Fixes | 2026-02-18 | Fixed a not reachable dropzoneFixed several issues related to map shortcut. PDA screen was black when opening the map for the first the with the shortcut. Turning off the PDA using the map shortcut did not equip the last weapon. All these issues are now fixed.Added some missing manual pages |
| Patch 0.1.9 - Achievements | 2026-02-14 | Steam achievements are here!This update brings steam achievements. I wanted to have a big range of achievements. Some of them are early game achievements while others are for rewarding completing harder tasks. I will add more achievements as more content gets added. We will also have story specific achievements in the future! If you have any ideas that could make a good achievement please let me know!I tried my best to find a good balance for the achievements since I don't want them to be unrealistic or way too grindy. But I also want some achievements that will reward the players that like to play the game in a hardcore way. I think you guys |

| Patch 0.1.8 - Scavenger Mode and Drop Zones | 2026-02-07 | New Game Mode: ScavengerThis game mode is designed for the most hardcore survival fans. In this mode you are a lone scavenger. You have no friends and you can not trade with well-known traders. Everybody will shoot you on sight. Only trader that will work with you is the radianite trader Kachak.Your only option to survive is loot and craft items with whatever you can find. You start with a random weapon and some randomized items. You might get lucky and start with good items or be very unlucky and start with very useless stuff. Your spawn location is also randomized.Scavenger mode also gives you randomized goals you can work towards. For inst |
| Patch 0.1.7 - Faction Outfits | 2026-01-30 | OptimizationAdded occlusion culling. This is a technique that hides the models that are not seen by the camera.

| Patch 0.1.6 - Night, NPC Sensors and Water Update | 2026-01-23 | NPC SensorsSlight changes/improvements to how NPCs detect enemies.Small optimizations to NPC sensors (enemy detection system)NPCs can detect enemies with 2 methods through vision.First method is movement. For instance, if you walk or run NPCs will be able to detect you way faster.Second method is scanning. NPCs are constantly scanning everything in their vision range. Even when you are not moving NPCs can still detect you if stay out in the open for too long.Scanning speed was same regardless of distance but now it’s based on distance. If you are closer, they will detect you faster. The further away you are the longer it will take for them to |
