Hello! We are glad to announce that today we have released pretty big update that is scheduled to the upcoming release of the game from early access.
This update is not as big as we planned, some things had to be postponed. However we managed to finish the main update- the new mode "Last Survivor".
A few words about the new mode: the main thing is to remain the last survivor in the zone, which gradually fills with a toxic fog. During the match you can earn experience, thanks to which the level of your character gradually increases. Players who take 5-1 places receive a reward, game items that can be used in the next matches. The player who took the first place can pick up any five items that he managed to collect in the current match.
As we’re moving on to the release version, we had to zero out some data on all accounts: storages and money. This is due to the large number of vulnerabilities found (dupes and others during the early access). Earlier we warned about this. Thank you for understanding.

Hello everyone! The work on the game's in full swing. As you know, already in the first quarter of 2018 we're planning to leave the early access. To do that, we need to do plenty of work on the bug fixing as well as on the new mechanics/content.

Location "Primorye" will have its own quest line, that is mostly concerned with military men. Also we're working on the location "Death Swamp", that is most likely be a small DLC with its own quest line, new items, weapons and additional underground location.
Right now, our basic goals are optimizatiom and bug fixing.
Few screenshots with new weapons are attached:

3) Fixed a bug when there were no tree colliders in the "Primorye" location.
4) Surroundings sounds are added to the location of the Bunker.
