The temperature on the thermometer has stabilised and risen above zero. Severe storms have passed the Exclusion Zone. It's time to pick up the toys from the Christmas tree and put everything away until the next New Year's holiday. The zone glowed with green colours again, and the plants were covered with young leaves.

New Year's radio, game menu and guitar tunes have been replaced with the standard set.

We are striving to update the game and make it accessible and playable for a wider audience. Finally, new localisations are being added to the game and as of today, Spanish is being added to the language change menu.

A few details:

• Everything except the narrative component has been translated. All quests, when switched to Spanish, will be in English;
  
• The localisation version is not final and will be gradually updated in the future.

We would like to thank the Spanish-speaking community for their support!

In the Zone appeared mechanic Arsen, known in narrow communities as Arsenal.

You can get to the Arsenal by searching for signals in the Labyrinth and Stillwaters locations. When the signal leading to the Arsenal workshop is found, a teleporter will appear, and it will transport the player to the mechanic.

Arsenal is a pretty busy man, and he has his own list of projects. The player must gain the trust of the Arsenal to take on the task of improving certain weapons, and this is done by raising their reputation in the Arsenal's eyes.

Every day, the mechanic has an updated list of items that are required to raise the Arsenal's reputation. You can find out how much reputation you currently have on the Labyrinth and Stillwaters location maps.

Note: the “Buyer” property (if present) will be lost when upgrading a weapon.
