ZERO Sievert | Weather Update
Hunters, brace yourselves
Zakov just got a whole lot more unpredictable! We’re excited to introduce our latest update 1.0.16, which brings a dynamic weather system, seasons, and a new survival mechanic to the game!
🌍 New Weather System Snow is Back for Good! ❄️ No more waiting—Zakov’s harsh winters are here to stay. Seasons in the Wasteland: Every two in-game weeks now represents a full year, bringing changing temperatures and climates to every raid location. Real-Time Weather Updates: Weather conditions shift every 3 in-game hours, affecting temperature, visibility, and survival strategies.
🛠️ New Survival Tool & Visual Enhancements Weather Kit: You can now craft a Weather Kit to monitor temperature on your PDA and check the next 6 hours of weather at each location before heading out. Enhanced Weather Effects: We’ve added new shaders to bring in greater immersion - for example, rainy days now appear desaturated and dimly lit for a truly moody atmosphere. We’ve also added a toggle setting to disable the new color gradient overlay for extra accessibility and customisation.
🔥 Other Improvements Hunter & Gun Skills Notification: A new PDA icon alerts you when you have unspent skill points - never forget to utilise your points again!
Alongside these new features we’ve also been working on some bug fixes which we know have been troubling many of you!
Steam Cloud saving is fixed (new check with communicating with Steam)
Inventory sorting fixes to prevent icon overlaps
Inventory auto-sort and rotation fixes
More fixes implemented towards blue void issue
Player is now able to sell Santa’s backpack
Immortality Hunter Skill does not occupy a Tier-1 skill slot, allowing full roster of skills to be acquired
Thank you as always to everyone who has been reporting issues to us over on our Discord server! Now get out there, prepare for the unpredictable, adapt to the elements, and stay sharp Hunters! 🌧️🌨️🌤️

ZERO Sievert | Bunker Report - Episode 3
Hello hunters and welcome back to the bunker!
One of the recent topics of discussion on here has been about this series itself, with players unsure or confused about the purpose of these videos and what they can expect from them going forward.
Well be confused no longer! The whole point of these videos is to have yet another outlet where we can interact with you and share information. From looking at the Steam discussion comments, there seemed to be many of you who thought these videos sole purpose were letting you know about game updates. While we’ll always include the most up to date information possible for you, as we’re a small team, sadly that means we won’t always have tons of big development updates weekly, but what we can do is let you know about reported issues and what we’re doing to address them, give you community updates and recommend content creators for you to check out, to name just a few topics!
Another thing we realised was the discussion title and thumbnail being called the 'Bunker Update' potentially being misleading and many of you we're hoping for it to be an actual update in the in-game bunker. Therefore, we've changed the wording to title this series more appropriately to avoid any further confusion.
In these videos we also want to spotlight your community queries and most reported bugs of the week. So definitely let us know down below if there's something you want us to address!
Here's a list of things we cover in today's episode of the Bunker Report!
Queries about the aspect ratio
Players being unable to sell the Christmas Backpack from the Holiday event
Players are experiencing switching audio whilst playing the game
Bug where icons overlap and merge when trading
Overall game balancing
S*x update???
We will endeavor to dedicate time to answering as many of your questions as possible - if we have something to give you an update on, so keep the questions coming in the discussion below.
We hope you enjoy this week's Bunker Report and as always happy hunting!
