Trick or treat, fighters! 🫡 Today, we’ve prepared update 0.58.4, launching the Halloween event! 🎃👻🍬🦇💀🧡!
This version includes numerous fixes in the “Foothills” location, a new object added to the “Eastern Territories”, voice lines for certain NPCs, the resolution of many additional bugs, and a variety of other improvements.
Halloween Event
Have you encountered the Hellbiont recently?! Well, fighters, the Hellbiont who broke free earlier has gained unprecedented power and has become a truly formidable opponent! He is now a seasonal world boss, much like RW-01 and the Frost Deer.
By defeating the Hellbiont, you can obtain useful loot, gift cards, and rare items like the “Devilish Helmet,” the “Skull” mask, and the exclusive “Zombie” paint, only awarded for victory! You’ll only find the Hellbiont at night in locations such as “Big Village,” “Coast,” “Swamp,” and “Eastern Territories.”
Alongside Hellbiont, you can also encounter Mr. NukePumpkin in these locations, who won’t leave you without gifts.
Mr. NukePumpkin offers six gifts for exchange, one of which is the new spray paint “Blood, Sweat, and Pixels.” This spray can be applied to the following weapons:
- MSR-10
- MSR-12
- L96A1
- WSC PDW
- Vepr-12
- M16
- Thunder
- Pioneer
- SMG-90
- SPAS-12
- Zastava M70
- AS VAL
- VSS Vintorez
- UMP
- MP-5.
Weapons painted with this spray can be stored in the account inventory. The full list of items that can be obtained from Mr. NukePumpkin is as follows:
- “Blood, Sweat, and Pixels” spray can
- “Skull” mask
- “Toxic Pumpkin” mask
- “Pumpkin” mask
- “Brutality” bat
- Sterilizer
A new “Golden Skull” mask has also appeared in the in-game store, which cannot be exchanged for cards (or “farmed”). It is a luxury item for collectors.
By the way, the Hellbike is no longer available for purchase or for exchange with cards. Our approach is that many players already own this moped, so it’s no longer a true rarity.
The event will last until November 8, 2024 (inclusive) at UTC. After that, Mr. NukePumpkin will remain for a while so you can exchange your gift cards.
Bus Station
In the “Eastern Territories” location, a new landmark has appeared – the “Bus Station.” This area is notable for the fact that you can find some rare items here, which aren’t easy to collect and are essential for completing certain quests. Which items can be found there and which quests this area will help complete are details yet to be discovered by experts in the world of WTLOnline.
We also plan to add a few new quests to the “Bus Station” in the future.
NPC Voiceover
We’ve enhanced the voiceover for NPCs in the “Camp” location, which is at the very start of the game, and now nearly all NPCs in the “Camp” have voices. Additionally, all Guide NPCs in the game and Mr. NukePumpkin have been voiced. We plan to continue developing this feature as much as possible to make the game world even more immersive.
Miscellaneous Changes
- You asked, and we delivered! Protection against “logout abuse” was added to the “Canyon” location, similar to the system in the “Foothills.” In this update, players who log out in specific areas will be returned to A1-1 from the Northern Outpost or G4-6 from the Southern Outpost.
- Another popular request: mortar shells are now available from traders at the entrance to the “Foothills” location.
- The weapon description system now omits the “unsuitable for your class” message; instead, if your class has specific advantages with a weapon type, it will display “Your class has advantages with this weapon.” This better emphasizes weapon flexibility without class restrictions, while clarifying class-specific benefits.
- Heavy pickaxe attacks have been reworked.
- Each point of agility now impacts pickaxe strike speed more significantly, speeding things up a bit.
- Over 30+ bugs and issues identified in the “Foothills” location have been resolved.
- Collision issues with certain vehicle models have been fixed.
- Loot in the “Foothills” location was adjusted: was added loot behind lockpicked doors and replaced some ammunition for better balance.
- Design issues in the “Big Village” location have been fixed.
- Minor design errors in the “Sunny” location have been corrected, and several objects reworked.
- Minor errors in the “Camp” location have been fixed.
- Fixed an issue with drone weight increasing after grenade drops.
- Eliminating a character with a grenade dropped from a drone now completes the clan quest requirement.
- Fixed issues detecting enemy equipment during drone-assisted area scans.
- Scanning enemies with a recon drone now grants more points (though limited to prevent maxing out points just from scanning).
- Fixed a bug allowing the drone to be hidden via the quick access panel.
- The Giant Cave Spider in “Eastern Territories” now has simplified requirements to trigger the event.
- If a character is wearing a gas mask, sound effects for taking damage now reflect the gas mask effect.
- Faction changes now reduce reputation with the Roaming Trader less drastically, enabling normal respawning at faction-safe zones.
- Dropped items no longer disappear immediately upon character death. However, please remember the drop feature is intended for discarding items, not trading; use barter for exchanges.
- Adjustments were made to mob spawn settings.
- The level of a mob now displays in the mob search window.
- Fixed an animation bug for the MP-5.
- MSR-12 now supports PO-2 scopes.
- Additional background options (besides the rug) have been added to the weapon preview window.
- For convenience, the Premium Status expiration date now appears in the upper-right corner of the character lobby window if Premium is active.
- Materials for certain objects were improved.
