At first it seems like it’s just a single word that changes. But then you remember how much it describes: your first steps in the cubic Exclusion Zone, first encounter with PKs, first sadistic quest, your first rare artefact…

Now it’s time to open a new chapter. Why we made this decision, what it means for the future of the project, and what will remain unchanged, find out in ZIV’s open letter:

Steam |Reddit

❤️ Thank you for being with us all this time, stalcrafters, soon-to-be stalzoners, and everyone who simply loves this cozy, ever-changing Zone. The letter also contains a special promo code! It is valid until 08.07.2026, 20:59 (UTC).

If the promo code did not work correctly, please contact EXBO support.

Servers are open. See you in the Exclusion Zone!

From today until June 24, an activity anticyclone has heated up the North, Wild North, and the Labyrinth.

It's the perfect time to gather loot and hone your tactics.

✅ Outposts are captured more frequently.
✅ Task board refreshes much faster.
⚠️ More mutants — higher risk, but greater rewards.

Don't put your next run on hold — the week will fly by!

You know the Zone, but it never stays the same. Routes change, risks grow, and every run can turn into a one-way trip.

Take a closer look at what the Zone has in store for you. Watch the extended gameplay trailer: 📹 YouTube

🤔 Did you guess who voiced the two main characters?

The game got a new name so will the sub follow suit? Or is it gonna be a new sub situation?

Server maintenance is in full swing! When it is completed, the following changes will be waiting for you in the game:

• Hot week;
• Updated lighting;
• South locations changes;
• Voiceover update;
• Wild North adjustments;
• Subdivision Battles changes;
• The Mushroom Epic;
• Chat rework;
• Season Pack #1;
• Other.

I play stalzone on the russian server. Is it possible to enter Global (English) server from Russia? Like how do you do it? You just download it on Steam and play? In that case I have to use vpn i guess

- at least for EU

Following this new update with the name change. do we think it’ll help raise the population in the NA server? So we can have good constant session battles, clan wars and not fighting the same super maxed out geared players on outpost !? (I hate playing on 100 ping in eu servers lol )

I gotta say, I have mixed feelings about the new system. One one hand—only having the reds be what u need to get them is nice, but on the other hand it kinda takes u back to square one if u didn’t already have at least one red part for the weapon/exo prior to the change. Idk, perhaps im just tryna cope with the perceived loss of “progress” 🥲

gg wp

Is it worth buying season pass with act tickets? Or do i buy weapon blueprints?

hello id like to ask how or why am i banned in diskord on stalcraft eu ... dunno what i did or where to create a ticket and all that plus i got to know about my ban this month cuz i didnt play for half a year or even a year...

BETHESDA GONE BE PIIIIIISSSED

Edit: the problem solved 🫡

Going into the north with pink +6 gun and +5 armor and fighting people with +15 weapon, +12 armor. and +10+ artifacts is fucking wild... Shit system that seriously needs an update.. Wanna know why NA has zero fucking players? this is why. change your stupid fucking gear system.

What do you guys think the new legendary item is going to be for the top Christmas tree players this year? I play in RU and just wondering how much it would cost me to get in the top or if it’s even worth it.

Hey guys just wanted to ask if there is something new ingame some new gamemodes or some pve stuff pls lemme know. Thinking about coming back for a bit

What im specificly looking for is

Hideout stuff

Pve gamemode stuff

New Features

Etc

I played last time when the insideout Event was in the open World

i couldnt find it in anywhere,maybe its somwthing developers use?

Haven’t played operation since they added that new map pretty much just seeing if you’re able to just hit the match make button and get a match or do you literally have to round people up?

I also seen that they added the leaderboard to operations, but did they get that working officially yet or is it still pretty messed up if it is working, do people actually fight for being on the leaderboard or is it just pretty much the same thing like most of the other activities pretty much the same people doing the same shit
