The first snowy week has flown by... During this time, we've learned to detect mysterious signals leading to the most difficult challenges, and this is just the beginning!
Rumour has it that the Bar has already taken on a special order: to find the least radioactive X-Mas Tree in the entire area.
By next week, the Bar will transform — festive lights will begin to appear, and perhaps even mysterious gifts from the Zone itself...
Keep an eye on things, as winter in the Zone is just begun!
Signal changes
Economics
The resource reward for Purple and Red bubbles has been increased by an average of 20%.
Significantly increased reward for all resources for a signal from the Master of the Zone.
Signal spawn
New signals now appear 10% faster in the North and Stillwaters.
SAC-2
Added the option to exchange SAC-1 for SAC-2.
To implement this capability, the characteristics of the SAC-2 were changed.
Stats | Veteran | Stalker |
Weight | 2.0 | 2.5 |
Amount of energy | 1000 | 1250 |
Energy consumption (radius 1) | 25 | 40 |
Energy consumption (radius 2) | 40 | 70 |
Energy consumption (radius 3) | 70 | 100 |
You can exchange SAC-2 at the signal Researcher.
Morse code
A unique Morse code was added to the bubble signals.
What's next?
We continue to monitor player feedback and metrics, and we are currently actively discussing issues with the drop rate of new signal weapon blueprints.
Thank you for your feedback. Together with analytics, it helps us improve the mechanics!
