Hunters, brace yourselves
Zakov just got a whole lot more unpredictable! We’re excited to introduce our latest update 1.0.16, which brings a dynamic weather system, seasons, and a new survival mechanic to the game!
🌍 New Weather System
Snow is Back for Good! ❄️ No more waiting—Zakov’s harsh winters are here to stay.
Seasons in the Wasteland: Every two in-game weeks now represents a full year, bringing changing temperatures and climates to every raid location.
Real-Time Weather Updates: Weather conditions shift every 3 in-game hours, affecting temperature, visibility, and survival strategies.
🛠️ New Survival Tool & Visual Enhancements
Weather Kit: You can now craft a Weather Kit to monitor temperature on your PDA and check the next 6 hours of weather at each location before heading out.
Enhanced Weather Effects: We’ve added new shaders to bring in greater immersion - for example, rainy days now appear desaturated and dimly lit for a truly moody atmosphere. We’ve also added a toggle setting to disable the new color gradient overlay for extra accessibility and customisation.
🔥 Other Improvements
Hunter & Gun Skills Notification: A new PDA icon alerts you when you have unspent skill points - never forget to utilise your points again!
Alongside these new features we’ve also been working on some bug fixes which we know have been troubling many of you!
- Steam Cloud saving is fixed (new check with communicating with Steam)
- Inventory sorting fixes to prevent icon overlaps
- Inventory auto-sort and rotation fixes
- More fixes implemented towards blue void issue
- Player is now able to sell Santa’s backpack
- Immortality Hunter Skill does not occupy a Tier-1 skill slot, allowing full roster of skills to be acquired
Thank you as always to everyone who has been reporting issues to us over on our Discord server! Now get out there, prepare for the unpredictable, adapt to the elements, and stay sharp Hunters! 🌧️🌨️🌤️
