What's new?
Quests
A brand new feature of the game is the quest system that guides the player through the game and helps show what the game has to offer. You can look forward to personal quests from the inhabitants of the world trying to survive in the wasteland. The difficulty of the tasks is different and it is up to each player in what order they will complete the tasks. Ultimately, quests are not mandatory, it's just another element of fun that the game now offers.
The Network: Repeaters & Air Cargo Delivery
There are so-called signal repeaters scattered around the world that you can repair to restore the signal to the last wireless communication network in existence. This network provides the ability to call various types of cargo transports that will bring you materials for the construction of buildings, gasoline, a faction battle drone or even a finished vehicle.
To call a specific cargo, you need to have a specific item that you can buy from merchants and then use them whenever you want. The only condition is to have a signal.
Buildable Vehicles
Instead of searching the world for vehicles, you now have the option to build them. For starters, we've added the ability to build two vehicles (in the future, it will be possible to build any). Vehicles need special parts that you can buy or find in the wasteland.
Automatic refilling petrol pumps
You can now find repairable petrol pumps in the world. These gas stations had huge stocks of gasoline, but as time went on, the pumps broke down and only after repair, they start pumping gasoline again from the tank for collection.
Outpost Improvements
The outposts also underwent a partial improvement. Not only will you get essential quests and information in the OGD Outpost, but we've also added a new type of battle drone that factions will only deploy when the Outpost is at a certain level of alarm. As the alarm increases, the faction also deploys more difficult units. Keep this in mind when planning your attack! A long siege can be very difficult, but it also gives you the most loot and loyalty to your faction.
Health Bars & damage numbers
At the beginning of the game, it is good to know how weapons work against different enemies. That's why we've added health bars, damage numbers, and a name* above enemies. This function can be turned off in the settings, which will certainly be appreciated by hardcore players.
* the name is disabled by default for enemies, it is active by default for interactive NPCs
Stamina bar
As part of the UI redesign, we decided to make a very visible Stamina bar, which will now appear next to the HAND slot when stamina is drawn. It will also light up red if you can no longer attack with melee weapons or sprint.
Prefixes & Suffixes on Weapons and Clothing
We have implemented randomly generated prefixes and suffixes with various bonus properties. E.g. greater damage, increased resistance, increased range, greater armor penetration, etc.
EU Multiplayer Server
Those who want to experience the real experience of our game can rejoice in the fact that we have launched the first server for Europe, which is publicly available and anyone can play on it. Even though it is still a test server from our point of view, we consider it permanent and we launched it mainly for you, for our players, for the community.
More news
Here are the new game features that the player community asked us for the most, and we are happy to implement them!
Stealth mode
Even though it's harder for enemies to detect you at night, they detect you 50% harder when crouching is used.
Crouching also gives you the possibility to hide, for example, behind a rock during a firefight.
Scope view
The hunting rifle and the Binoculars offer the option of ultra zoom, so you can see very well what is happening in the distance.
Gamepad support (beta)
We've completely reworked the game's input system and this has opened up the possibility to add gamepad support as well. While this feature is still under development, we welcome your feedback.
Keyboard auto-binding
The classic WASD control automatically adapts to the keyboard layout for your country.
Lootable Dead Trees
You can now get insects or sticks from dead trees.
Cargo Ground-Deliveries
There are certain traders in the game that mediate the ground delivery of cargo. Find them, work for them and earn in-game currency quickly.
Vehicle Repair
Vehicles can now be repaired using a hammer.
Categorized building plans
Just as the Craftbook is categorized, the Blueprints are now categorized.
Loyalty limits for trading in Outposts
In outposts for some things you need a certain loyalty, you can now see this with an item, as well as now you can see how much loyalty you get for trading a certain item.
Flash messages
Quick messages are displayed when the player picks up an item directly from the world (not from a crate), so they can immediately see what they picked up. In the same way, instant messages show a warning when the loyalty level is low, which can be fatal if you are in the Outpost, for example. In the messages you will also learn that someone has joined your game.
Overheating icon
A new survival icon will appear if the player overheats, causing health loss. Watch for overheating. Prevention is to take off things that overheat you and replace them with those that have good Heat Resistance.
List of resolutions in Settings
Now you can choose from a wide range of resolutions compatible with your monitor.
"Q" to close all game windows
You can now close all windows at once with the "Q" key.
Quick slots
Now you can assign things to the quick slot just by moving the mouse over them and pressing the quick slot number - keys 1,2,3 and 4.
Signal Icon
A new signal icon will appear next to the survival icons if you have a signal, meaning you can call in any of the air cargo.
Calculated Loyalty Level
For a better overview, we have added a specific loyalty level number to the current faction.
PS: We are very sorry for any typos in the text, we are full of emotion from this moment, when we have been waiting for a long time, when we will present to you everything that we have prepared for you!
