New upgrades added:

Stash Intel

Zakharich now sells stash intel drives that guarantee a stash spawn on the corresponding location during your next raid:

• SKS stash (Garage Cooperative) - Rep Level 4 

• Groza stash (Underground Facility) - Rep Level 5 

• VSS stash (Dead City) - Rep Level 6 

New Hideout Upgrade - Vehicle Workshop

• A new Vehicle Workshop area and a new trader, the mechanic Prigor, have been added to the hideout.

• After unlocking the Vehicle Workshop, hunters gain access to vehicle upgrades.

Vehicle Upgrades 

Available upgrades include:

• Installing a workbench inside the van to clean weapons or swap attachments during raids

• Additional storage space (secure container - сontents are preserved on death, even without insurance)

• And much more!

New Enemy Variants

• Added a new demon variant - Brute Demon. These demons are larger, stronger, and much tougher than regular demons.

• Added a new cultist variant - Masked Cultist. Not every cultist can now be killed with a single headshot.

Other Additions

• Added new loot items that can be found during raids, including cigars and a new lighter.

• Added several dozen new voice lines for Zakharich (mostly comments about loot).

• Added automatic save in the Hideout after leaving any trader room (for example, the armory or infirmary).

• Exit buttons in the in-game menu are now labeled “Save and Exit…” for better clarity.

• The VSS fire mode switch is now animated.

• Switching the sawed-off shotgun’s fire mode (single/double shot) now visually changes the position of the second trigger. 

• Added a small deadzone for controller sticks to reduce the effect of slight stick drift (previously the input sensitivity was too high).

• A new competitive season has begun. Leaderboards have been reset.

• 12 new achievements added.

Changes

• Item grabbing has been reworked and now checks finger areas instead of the palm, making interactions more comfortable.

• Locations now have a small chance to spawn a second artifact.

• AKM recoil slightly increased.

• AKM jam chance reduced.

• The shooting range can now return multiple ammo boxes depending on how much ammo was used, instead of being limited to a single full box.

• Large 7.62x54 ammo boxes now hold 90 rounds instead of 60, and the price has been increased from 4500 to 7500.

• PMM and Stechkin damage slightly increased.

• RGO impact grenades now have an additional fuse timer that guarantees detonation, like in real life, even if the impact force or throw distance was insufficient.

• Alpha Demon (boss) movement speed slightly increased.

• All scopes can now be mounted on the VSS, not just the PSO.

• Prices for some loot items were reduced (electronic game, circuit boards, tetris), but they now spawn much more frequently.

• Hybrid Scope price reduced from 5000 to 4000.

• Mines are now sold at Reputation Level 6 instead of 5.

• Weapon placement on the wall has been slightly rearranged to make room for the two new weapons.

• The starting room in the Underground Facility has been slightly modified to make room for the van. 

• Easy and Medium difficulty now include protection against chain explosions (for example, when a demon explosion triggers a nearby trap explosion - now only the first explosion deals damage).

• The “Free Healthcare” achievement now requires healing in the Infirmary 10 times instead of 20.
