Estaсada and Repair Parts
Estaсada has extended the Repair Parts exchange for two more weeks.
When the NPC leaves, the following adjustments will be made:
Rumours
Now, in the Swamps and Roadside locations, you can overhear many new and interesting things.
New NPCs have appeared, and speaking with them may reveal interesting locations, events, or just stories about the stalkers' tough lives in the Zone.
This mechanic will be expanded over time with new features.
Eruptions adjustments
The number of artefacts that appear after an eruption has been increased:
The chances of spawning “uncommon” or higher rarity artefacts in large anomaly clusters in the South Zone, Lyubech-3 and Stillwaters have roughly doubled.
Now, legendary artefacts can appear in Lyubech-3 with Master's matchmaking level.
Changes in North factions' crates and Weapon Crate
Barter offers for the Scorpion EVO III Drum Magazine and Sig Sauer P320 Extended Magazine have been removed. These attachments are now available by default with their respective weapons.
The following changes in North factions' crates and Weapon Crate were implemented:
If players had these attachment parts, they have been automatically converted to the corresponding sight parts.
If these items were listed on the auction, they have been returned with deposit.
If players had the full version of the attachments, they have been replaced with the corresponding sights.
Players who had the Scorpion EVO III Drum Magazine or the SIG P320 Extended Magazine also received special Crimson Tokens via in-game mail.
A maximum of 6 Crimson Tokens can be received if the player owns both the Drum Magazine and the Extended Magazine. Tokens can be exchanged for any other Master rank attachment from the above-mentioned crates. A new barter offer has been added to the barter menu for this purpose.
Attention! Crimson Tokens will be valid until 21.08.2025. Be sure to spend them by then!
New master rank sights
Sights are exchanged at level 7 of the northern faction base. The exchange is available for 3 blueprint parts obtained from the northern faction crates and the weapon crate.
The reticles of the new sights are as follows:
DOTSAT 1.5x
Trijicon ACOG 2x40 2.4х
Balance changes
Submachine Guns
The recoil and recoil increase of most submachine guns have been reduced.
High recoil and low minimum damage were weakly matched, having a bad effect on the perception of the weapon.
TDI Kriss Vector has received significant changes to its rate of fire. Previously, this submachine gun could not compensate its low damage per magazine sufficiently: there was hardly enough ammo for strong opponents, and the killing speed, although good, could not overcome the lack of damage.
