šŸŽƒ Halloween has begun in the Zone!

A time when even the bravest stalkers avoid the old locationsā€¦ They say that at night, something awakens on the abandoned bases, and a strange Scarecrow once again seeks those daring enough to help him save Halloween.

New Features

  • Added a new location ā€” Ghost Base. Many players will recognize it from the first part of the game.

  • Added a quest that unlocks the Ghost Base location. It can be taken from Brodyaga at the Freedom Stalkers Base after completing the mission to search for the helicopter in Pripyat.

  • Added the ability to adjust controller position along the X and Y axes in the main menu settings. This is especially useful for players using Pico headsets to align hand position or fine-tune the wrist angle.

Changes and Improvements

  • Fixed a bug on the ā€œPerimeter-2 Tunnelsā€ level, where the code hint in one of the PDAs changed after death and reloading.

  • Removed AM / PM indicators from the PDA clock ā€” it now displays in-game time in a 24-hour format.

  • Minor adjustments on the raid location ā€œMilitary Town.ā€

  • Increased the amount of guaranteed loot on the raid location ā€œAbandoned Village.ā€

  • The leaderboard now records the current financial result at the moment of selling items on the Black Market, instead of the maximum value.

Important
