Thank you for being part of this journey.

This is just the beginning.

A new horizon v.0.40 Thermal imagers, NVGs, new mechanics and a pet.

✅ At the beginning of the game, you will now be helped by a peaceful raider to reach the fortification. He uses firearms and has a good supply of health and ammunition. It will now be a little easier for new players to fight monsters and enemy groups along the way. The companion's task is to help you until you cross the threshold of peaceful consolidation.

✅ Background music (ambient) has been added to the game, and the "Background music Volume" has been adjusted to the game settings.

✅ Added the ability to rename your suitcase or tent that you set up at a location. Open the storage menu, and there will be a new button at the top. Click on it and enter a name for the case. Now the new name is saved, even if you have picked up an item in your inventory.

✅ Sorting of items by several options has been added to the storages. After selecting the sorting option, click the button with the circular arrows next to it: the sorting will be arranged in the inventory from top to bottom by slots. If you re-sort without changing anything, then the slots will change from bottom to top. For example, you have chosen to sort by item price: the first click will arrange the items in descending value, the second click will arrange the prices in ascending order.

✅ Changed items: finger batteries. Now they can charge devices (flashlights, thermal imagers, night vision devices, scopes and other electronics that use batteries). The batteries will be rated with a note in the name AAA-10, AAA-30, AAA-60 and AAA-100.

✅ About 18 helmets with thermal imager and night vision devices of different ranks and characteristics have been added, as well as new helmets: R6 Assault helmet, R6 NVR, R6 High-grade thermal imager. New helmets and body armor can be obtained from bosses, bought from merchants in the fortification and lake settlement, as well as from dealers and found in cases. Steam post image

✅ Added R6, R5, R4 assault body armor of different ranks and characteristics. Steam post image

✅ Perfect body armor X3, X4, X5, X6 of different ranks and characteristics has been added. Steam post image

✅ The M3, M4, M5, M6 Lightweight Backpack and the Huge Mega Hamster V2 Backpack have been added. Steam post image

✅ Added the item GPS tracker "Ant", it can be purchased from the equipment dealer. When using GPS, the coordinates of the character on the location will appear at the top of the screen. This mechanic will allow you to find secret objects, caches and entrances to locations by coordinates. It will be easier for the players and me to orient others by the location of objects, enemy bases, caves. Steam post image

✅ Added the item "Pocket Teleporter X200", which allows you to move your corpse to the character to pick up your equipment. Use the item at the location where your corpse lies with your belongings. The teleporter will search for your corpses from any point of the location, even if there are several of them. Steam post image

✅ Added a new boss "Toonoroth" to the "Forest" location. You can find a nest at the spawn site (GPS coordinates: X-780, Y2040). By stealing an egg, you can raise your own huge and powerful pet.

✅ Added a new pet "Toonorot". You can get an egg in a nest in the forest, but be careful: they are guarded by a female. Steam post image

✅ The code "Anti-overheating" has been added to all companions. When you travel with a companion or pet in locations, for example, in the forest, sometimes it can get stuck in a snag, among rocks, or fall into a pit. A code is currently running that checks this situation, and if it happens and the companion cannot follow you, then he teleports closer to you, but behind you. The system works by calculating whether you are looking at a companion or not. If you go somewhere and don't look in his direction, the code turns on and helps the companion. It's almost imperceptible, just don't pay attention and don't watch if he's following you or lagging behind. Just play, don't get distracted, the system will control it itself. Important: The code only works if the companion has the "Follow" command enabled.

✅ Fixed a bug that caused the scanning grenades and the scanner device to not highlight enemies in red on the location (not on the map).

✅ In the "Underground Fortification" location, I changed the spawn and operation of NPCs: now they will appear at a certain distance, and NPCs in the distance will be destroyed. Until you get close to the place where the NPC is located, he will not appear. This improves performance and FPS. Currently, Fortification, Mine, Cave of the White Radiance, and Forest have been spawning on this system. I also do this in the "Civilian Sector". I will continue to recycle the spawn for this system in other locations to improve the performance of levels and FPS.

✅ Fixed a bug that caused some players to have micro-friezes every 5-10 seconds.
