Fisherman's Shop

  • A diagram of the forest cave has been added to the Fisherman's trade for reputation.

  • Notes on each fish, its bait preferences, and fishing spots are available.

  • The Fisherman sells a smoking recipe book and a recipe for creating a smokehouse.

Fishing

  • You can fish at special spots in the form of small bridges by the water.

  • Currently, there are 10 such spots on the map.

  • Different types of fish are caught at each spot.

  • All caught fish are placed in a can on the bridge.

Character Stat Influence

  • Strength, dexterity, and constitution help you pull the fish out faster.

  • The bite rate is affected by the luck parameter, the time of day, and different bait preferences.

  • Dexterity gives the player more reaction time to hook the fish.

Fishing Rod Durability

  • The closer the weight of the caught fish is to the rod's maximum weight limit, the faster it breaks.

  • The more damaged the rod is, the less weight you can catch.

  • The better the rod, the less it breaks from heavy fish.

  • The rod can be repaired at a repair bench.

This is the kind of fish that inhabits the world of the game.

Miscellaneous

  • Fish weighing 1 kg or more can be dismantled for parts. From a fish, you can get: Fish skin parts, bones, fillet, fat, and pieces of meat.

  • Fish do not stack, as they have different weights.

  • A map marker for the Fisherman has been added.

  • You can sleep on the couch at the Fisherman's place.

  • The smokehouse is used with a campfire to smoke fish fillets.

Quests

  • A quest to find the fisherman is available from the Hunter (starts the fisherman's questline).

  • The Fisherman has a questline of 8 quests: search, provisions, components, smokehouse, 12 fish, smoked fillet, weapon, and gear.

  • The main military officer has a new quest related to the fisherman.

  • A hidden quest from Petrenko is available during the fisherman's questline.

  • A task has appeared from Evgen at the construction site near the bridge to the village.

Miscellaneous

  • Increased the chance of obtaining soft and sheet rubber.

  • Glue can be crafted by breaking down bones into crushed bones. Recipes can be bought from three traders.

  • The value of items made from old bolts, nuts, screws, and nails has been increased, as the items are now being sold.

  • Armaturych has now opened a shop selling various metal parts.

  • Knives: Those who sell, for example, the M5 knife, now also sell lower-tier knives, except for M3 and below.

  • The player's wet clothes issue has been fixed; they now dry when entering a building.

Optimization

Map

  • In the city, in the northern courtyard, scientists have begun to set up their base.

  • A bridge has been added to the herbalist.

  • A military trader has appeared in the city who sells weapon sights. These sights are universal and can be mounted on many weapons.

The deployment of the scientist camp in the northern part of the city has begun.

User Interface (UI)

  • The display of firing modes has been changed: it is now represented by icons in the bottom right corner of the weapon panel.

  • The size and position of the current and total ammo indicators on the weapon panel have been changed.

  • The ammo type now affects the color of the displayed information about the ammo and firing mode. This allows the player to understand by color whether the loaded ammunition is strong or weak, without looking at their names, simply by using the game's standard color rarity scale.

  • Now in trading, right-clicking on an item from a trader or player will display information about the item. This does not apply to all items.

  • The design of the weapon modification window has been changed.

Weapons

  • Weapon behavior has been changed.

  • Sound indication has been added for a low amount of ammunition in the magazine (starting from 4 rounds), so the player will know by the sound that they are low on ammo. This works for all types of weapons.

  • AS VAL - firing animation has been improved.

  • Added the ability to use sights for the SVD; a default adapter was added to it to allow for the installation of sights.

  • Weapon components have been added to the first filter in the inventory, which contains weapons and ammunition.
