New:
The Military Boss now has new weapons: XM8 L1 machine gun, SCAR-H rifle, M4, and M16.
- The item turn-in system has been improvedyou can now instantly see how much loot is required and how much you already have; if you’re missing items, the selection button is disabled.

Clay and sand have been added to the quarry.
An Engineer has appeared in the Chemists’ yard, selling the same goods as Tony.
A bear has been added to the plateau — a new dangerous threat.
A save zone has been added at the cave exit leading to the plateau.
The artifacts Strong Heart and Hedgehog now have fixed world spawn locations and 3 rarity tiers with different stats.
The slot weight indicator now changes color dynamically: green (light), yellow (~5 kg), red (10+ kg); the dumbbell icon size also reacts to weight.
