New Features:
A new location leading to "Perimeter-2" has been added. The Perimeter-2 location itself will be introduced in an upcoming update.
The storyline related to decoding Iskra’s PDA at the Dawn base has been completed.
A new type of zombie has been added — not your typical kind: it has high durability and deals powerful melee damage. It's essentially a tank among regular zombies. Avoid letting it get too close. You may encounter it in certain locations and raids.
New campfire tales have been added at the Free Stalkers’ base. You can listen to them in the building where Sivy is located.
A short dialogue between stalkers has been added at the Free Stalkers’ base. You can hear it in the post office building where Mikhalych is sitting.
Changes and Improvements:
The quest for finding the Sova detector has been improved. Now, when you enter the bunker during this mission, an additional objective will appear in the PDA, showing where to deliver the detector. If you've already completed this quest, your progress will not be affected.
The health of the soldiers guarding the helicopter in Pripyat has been reduced, as this is one of the first encounters with hostile factions. The difficulty has been slightly lowered intentionally.
Heavy weapon handling has been improved across all slots. Placing weapons in shoulder slots or the backpack is now easier and more convenient.
Improved interaction with the left shoulder socket of the backpack — retrieving and storing items there should now be even smoother.
Similarly, the right shoulder socket used for storing heavy weapons has been improved for easier access and placement.
Additional random encounters have been added in some locations — both with faction fighters and monsters.
Minor fixes and improvements on several levels.
