WHAT'S NEW?

MISSIONS AND MECHANICS

• Introducing War Games!
  • Head to the Storm Shield Base to test yourself in new mission simulations! All kinds of existing zones are available in the simulation, and new areas will be added gradually. Four simulations are currently available.
    • "Tornado what you need." Your fort is being destroyed by a tornado! In the simulation, your buildings are destroyed, and the players, along with the husks, fly into the air.
    • "Hot Spots". A volcanic eruption causes lava to break through the ground, damaging structures and turning Husks into fire monsters.
    • "Anomalous Activity" In this simulation, anomalous faults appear near the point to be protected. Be careful: get too close to them, and they will suck the life force and energy out of you!
    • "Safe zone". When the main storm shield goes down, you will only have to rely on portable shield generators. To escape the Storm, you will have to hide in protective bubbles. Take care of the generators, because the husks will try to destroy them.
  • During a simulation session, players must defend their base for seven minutes. After that, one of the amplifiers is randomly selected to be protected for another seven minutes.
    • Collect Chrono Modules that appear around you to shorten the duration of the waves.
  • War Games introduces an additional restriction: if you run out of health, you must be resurrected by another player. If all players are killed, the mission is considered failed, so you only have one attempt to complete the simulation if you are playing alone.
  • If the simulation seems too easy for you, add any of the nine new difficulty modifiers to get additional rewards:
    • Fog Scourge - Dense fog obscures the line of sight and the mini-map.
    • Melee - Enemies spawn closer to your base.
    • The Husks Are Coming - Only normal, stronger Husks appear in this challenge.
    • You can't build here - you can't build, repair, or use a pickaxe.
    • Meat Explosives - Husks explode on death. Finish them off before they get to you!
    • Trapped - All your traps are disabled. In this test, they cannot be installed.
    • Full Time - Chrono Modules do not spawn in this challenge.
    • Surprise - the type of simulation is chosen randomly and will change before the second wave.
    • Between the eyes - wounded enemies can only be killed with a headshot!
  • Wargames difficulty and rewards are based on the account level of the weakest player in the group and take into account the level of randomly selected players. Thus, any mission to defend the storm shield will be a serious test for you.
  • War Games difficulty increases as players join the mission, increasing the number and power level of enemies commensurately.
• War Games Event Quests!
  • "War Games" will begin with the "Young Fighter Course"! These missions will introduce players to the features of the War Games and give them the opportunity to earn amazing rewards. Who said studying is boring?
  • Each type of simulation includes a one-time task - for completing them, players receive event tickets and a unique flag that highlights their achievements.
  • Each challenge in the War Games includes a one-time task - for completing them, players receive event tickets.
  • Repeatable tasks become available after completing all the simulations and challenges of the "War Games".
• War Games Daily Challenges
  • Each day brings new Storm Shield and War Games challenges - you are challenged to complete a combination of a certain type of simulation and a certain challenge in a given zone.
  • As you progress through the game and discover new playable zones, you will be able to open a War Games daily challenge slot specifically for that zone, thereby increasing their number to 4.
  • Passing such tests will bring you gold and event tickets!
• Storm Shields: Nice Upgrades
  • At the start of a Storm Shield Mission or War Games mission, your fort will be saved. After completing the mission, your fort will return to its original state: all buildings and traps placed before the start of the mission will remain in it, while buildings and traps placed after the mission will be removed.
• People's squad
  • Enter the Storm Shield Territory in any zone to join the ranks of the People's Regiment!
  • Help other players defend storm shields or participate in War Games missions. Updated matchmaking system prioritizes storm shield defense missions.
  • Like co-op missions, these missions provide 20% more XP.
• Before starting a Storm Shield Mission or a War Games mission, players have the option to "Wait for Help" - in this case, the mission will begin when at least one player joins the squad.
• Updated Lynch Peaks area:
  • The series of missions in the Lynch Peaks zone has become linear. Now they are easier to understand.
  • Additional missions have been added to each region of Lynch Peaks to add variety and give players a chance to get additional loot.
  • At least one group mission has been added for each difficulty level.
• Reduced the frequency of bonus experience rewards for completing high-level missions in the Lynch Peaks zone so that other types of rewards appear more often.
• The health of objects in the high-level areas of the Lynch Peaks zone has been reduced to be proportional to the damage from the player's pickaxe.
  • Target Shooting!
  • Now in missions there is an opportunity to demonstrate your accuracy. How many cymbals can you shoot?
• Mini-storms are over for now, but in the future they will definitely return.
• We have simplified the schedule of urgent missions and restrictions on their completion.
  • Now urgent missions appear on the map once a day at the same time (03:00 Moscow time).
  • There is no longer a limit on the total number of urgent missions per day. Instead, each urgent mission marked on the map can only be completed once per day.
  • Completed Urgent Missions are marked with a checkmark so that you can see that today you will no longer receive a reward for completing them.
• Weekly Quests
  • Every week, players will receive a task to complete 10 urgent missions.
  • After completing it, you will be able to choose a reward - a significant amount of gold, event tickets, or materials for development and skills.
  • The difficulty of the task and the number of rewards increase depending on your success in defending the storm shield.
  • If the week is over and the task was only partially completed, you can finish it next week (you don't have to start all over again).

• Overtime missions now appear in every group mission.

INTERFACE

• Arrows have been added that allow you to select any of the available events in the Quests tab.
• Reworked X-Ray Llama Choice Packs have been added to the game. Their interface has been changed so that card sets become more visible among the items displayed on the x-ray.
• The All Stats screen now updates when the squad changes.
• Team member-enhanced stats are now highlighted in blue on the All Stats screen and match the text on the team member screen.

• Fixed a bug that caused blurry images to appear in the store.
• Fixed an issue that prevented items from interacting with or reading contextual tooltips when using a mouse on PS4.
• Now the choice of the last player who voted during the mission is correctly displayed in the voting window.
• Players can no longer place an upgraded item in the collection book if the original blueprint is not salvageable. This previously resulted in an error message, but should now prevent unique blueprints (e.g. Bombards) from being lost.
• Items selected with the cursor in the collection book can now be upgraded or added to favorites.
• Mission information is now correctly displayed on the minimap after closing the large map.
• The font in the menu no longer changes size when hovering over the menu buttons.
