Update 0.8.0: New Map, Mode, and Faction

This is the largest update since the game's release. The AI ​​has been overhauled, factions have been added, and procedurally generated maps have been introduced. A significant amount of time was spent testing and balancing the new systems prior to release. I look forward to your feedback!

New content

• Bunker map: underground tunnels with a randomly generated set of rooms and corridors. Map size is configurable when creating a lobby. This is an early version of the location, which will be further refined in the future.

• Endless mode: PvE waves with limited respawns, slowed progression (×3) and increased prices (×2). The goal is to survive as much waves as possible

• Horizon faction: Western mercenaries deployed to the conflict zone

• Bollwerk boss — Horizon commander

• Daily tasks, refreshed at 00:00 MSK

Weapons

• M4A1 "Desert" — medium-accuracy rifle with an extended magazine and suppressor (Horizon)

AI

• Bots retreat when at a disadvantage and push more aggressively when they have the upper hand

• Morale system: at low morale a bot behaves passively, at high morale — aggressively

• At low morale a bot may surrender, and the player can recruit them to their side

• Bots react to enemy sounds: reloading, healing, running

• In Co-op multiple factions can now appear at once — they fight each other

• In Free-for-all bots now use strafing

• New voice lines for regular bots and bosses

• Bot balance adjusted: health, reaction time, count, weapon condition

Gameplay and balance

• 64 new loot items of various rarities

• Adjusted drop rates for rare loot

• Loot amount on the map now scales with the number of players; PvP has more loot

• Armor-piercing rounds for every caliber and a slug for 12 gauge

• 360-degree aiming with no restrictions

• Carry weight system: backpacks grant a weight bonus; over the limit, movement slows down and running is disabled

• Grenades now deal area damage to all characters (previously a single character could block the damage for everyone nearby)

• Fall damage now depends on distance fallen instead of time in air

• Quick weapon switch on Q

• CZ-75: damage and rate of fire slightly reduced

• MP-133: +1 round in the magazine

• Saiga-12: damage −5

• Shotgun accuracy slightly improved

Lobby and interface

• Adjustable camera zoom

• Maximum player count selection

• Selectable kill count for victory

• Match progress is saved if the host ends the game or a player disconnects

• Profanity filter for nicknames and lobby names

• Player blocking by the host

• Spectating after death disabled on Nightmare difficulty

Performance and bug fixes

• Physics moved to a separate thread for performance

• Fixed a performance drop when using the inventory in a match

• Optimized characters off-screen

• Reworked corpse handling — fewer broken ragdolls

• Fixed a bug where bots would not move into line of sight if the player stood inside them

• Fixed a bug where healing did not work while holding a grenade

• Fixed a bug where bots threw grenades instantly after making contact

• Fixed a bug where pressing W after a jump prevented jumping with Space
