Hello everyone! Here's another update, thank you all so much for the feedback, both here in the community and on Discord. It really helps us catch critical issues and other rough edges, so please keep it coming.
This update reworks item spawning and the full economy/balance pass, adds a skill respec option, new masks, helmets, a gas mask and scope, plus tier 2–3 monster loot, and fixes a wide range of quest, combat, detector and interface bugs.
Updates
Balance
Reworked the item spawn system; items are now distributed more evenly, and all crates contain a larger number of loot categories in different proportions depending on the type.
Weapon prices changed, along with attachment spawn chances; reworked the unlock levels for weapons/attachments and their prices. The balance of all items was also reworked.
The Weapon Care skill now reduces weapon wear by only 10%, not 20%.
Added a skill reset option. To do this, open the skills menu; on the right in the experience block there will be a "RESPEC" button. The first reset is free, then 500 currency each.
Quests
Fixed navigation; sometimes in the quest "Deep Breath" one of the monsters could spawn outside the map and the quest couldn't be completed.
