Meet the "Fire Walk" update! New raids, weapons, equipment modifications, a revamped armor system, reworked Body Sleeves, and much more await you! We can't wait to tell you about all the changes.
Raids
Operatives can now tackle a brand-new raid, “Dam.” Also, the familiar “Dogorsk” is no longer confined to just isolated play - you can now face off against other operatives for valuable loot.
New raid: "Dam".
New raid: "Dogorsk".
Access to isolated raids now depends on your edition.
Tickets will no longer be used, and any tickets players already have will be converted into Crystallised Active Matter at a 1:25 ratio.
New objective type: "Cases" (under the "Investigations" terminal).
Monsters and Anomalies
The multiverse has been expanded with new monsters and anomalies, and some familiar foes have changed significantly - operatives will need to adapt to new conditions.
New monster: "Shy Girl".
New monster: "Scorch".
New monster: "Mimic Car".
New anomaly: "Fireball".
New anomaly: "Fire".
Mimics can now transform into ("mimic") objects.
Prevented Mimics from stacking inside objects or standing still.
New Weapons
New weapon types are joining the arsenal - machine guns, shotguns, and even handheld grenade launchers. Operatives can also fit their weapons with new modifications.
M249 Para machine gun
Origin-12 shotgun.
RPG-7 grenade launcher.
SVDM sniper rifle.
AEK-971 assault rifle.
AN-94 Abakan assault rifle.
PP-19-01 submachine gun.
M9 Tactical (with suppressor slot available).
You can also now adjust your weapon’s zeroing distance. The base distance depends on the weapon type, ranging from 30 to 100 meters. By default, use PgUp/PgDn to change zeroing, and view the set distance when inspecting your weapon.
New Modifications
Added various muzzle brakes and flash suppressors.
Scope 1P78 2.8x magn.
PBS-4 Suppressor.
SV-98 Suppressor.
We’ve also expanded the list of weapons that can equip suppressors. The PBS-1 Suppressor now fits the AKM and Vepr-KM VPO, matching real-world specs. The PBS-4 Suppressor is now compatible with the 5.45×39 mm AK series (AK-74M, AKS-74U). The HX6 Suppressor now fits the AK-103, and a bayonet-mount adapter version is available for the AK-12.
Weapons found in raids will now more often include suitable modifications already installed and will frequently appear in airdrops.
Equipment
In this update, we’ve reworked the armor system by adding new plate types and sizes. Titan plates are now the most durable - and most expensive - though they initially absorb slightly less damage than ceramic plates. You’ll need to choose your gear based on your objectives and your confidence in the field.
We’ve also introduced two new helmets - EDH-Gen V and TFMK-I - equipped with active headsets that suppress loud noises while amplifying quieter sounds. For a deeper dive, check out our recent dev diary.
In raids, you can now find modified equipment - like weapons with improved accuracy or more spacious backpacks - so keep your eyes peeled for the best loot!
Dalny Island now offers Western weapons and gear alongside Soviet equipment. These Western items are rarer, hinting at the presence of operatives from other branches of the multiverse.
Equipment with improved characteristics can now be found in raids.
Added new Body Sleeves and reworked many existing ones. each Sleeves now has multiple versions that unlock through special tasks.
Added new armor plate type: Titan.
Added new armor plate size: XL.
Added new helmets: EDH-Gen V and TFMK-I with active headsets.
Armor plates and helmets no longer break when their durability hits zero. Instead, they get a permanent reduction to their maximum durability (even if you repair them after the raid) and are marked as broken, still providing a small amount of protection.
Gameplay Changes

Implanted tier 3 chronogenes now lose a tier after an unsuccessful raid.
After spawning in a raid (unless revived by an ally) and choose your spawn point within a short radius - mirroring the “Undercover” overtime raid mechanic.

Added new recipes to increase the tier of chronogenes.
Changed the display of Refiner recipes in the Monolith Access Terminal.

Also enforced sequential purchase of donation reward upgrades (e.g., the second expansion requires the first).
Audio
