Encounters have been adjusted to create more dynamic combat situations.
🌦️ MISSION-BASED WEATHER & ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere of the game has received a major overhaul.

Lighting and the overall visual presentation of the game have also been improved, reducing the flat appearance of many environments.
🔫 NEW WEAPONS & EXPLOSIVES
New tools have been added for the dangers ahead:
New shotgun
TNT explosives
Additional weapon improvements and fixes
Weapons now also correctly preserve their ammunition when saving and loading the game.
🎒 INVENTORY & CONTROLS
Mouse controls for the inventory have been expanded.
Use the mouse wheel to change inventory slots.
Press the middle mouse button to equip or holster the selected item.
Fixed an issue where changing weapons during an animation could leave the weapon unusable.
🚗 IMPROVED DRIVING FEEDBACK
Driving now feels more physical.
The player character reacts to:
Acceleration
Braking
Vehicle movement
This adds more feedback and makes travelling across Europe feel less static.
☠️ DEATH & TIME SYSTEM CHANGES
Several systems have been simplified:
Removed the money penalty when respawning after death.
Sleeping no longer advances time.
Dying no longer advances time.
These changes make mission progression more predictable and reduce unnecessary punishment.
🔧 FIXES & POLISH
This update also includes several fixes:
Fixed Ilie’s bed appearing to be interactable.
Fixed weapons becoming locked when switching during animations.
Fixed weapon ammunition not being preserved correctly when saving and loading.
Various mission, interaction, lighting and gameplay adjustments.
