Hello, Survivors! 👋

The long-awaited moment has arrived — we’re excited to present a fresh update packed with exciting new content!

Storyline. Meet new story characters: Colonel Zhmykhin, Senior Engineer Myakishin, and Head of the Research Department Trubchikova. Each of them is eager to help you uncover what happened to this world, and of course, they’ll offer new quests where you’ll need to shoot and think. And yes, the bugs are still here, don’t worry.

New Vehicle: ZIL-130A. This isn’t just a truck, it’s a mobile fortress capable of withstanding (almost) any collision. We’re sure this beast will leave no classic Soviet vehicle fan indifferent.

Table of the best Operators. No more hiding your feats — now you can easily check who’s on top in terms of enemy kills, top speed, or number of missions completed. It’s your chance to show your strength and let everyone know who the true operator is here.

Save Slots. Now you can start the game on the highest difficulty without worrying about losing your old save. Don’t worry, your progress is safe!

And also:

• 6 New Side Quests. We’re not just talking about new adventures — prepare for new challenges that you’ll need to solve.
  
• New Data Type: Quest-related.
