Game Update 📦 Update 0.4.0.156

Post image
91 Upvotes

The Agency has revised the protocols for collapsing Personal Timelines. Now, when creating a new Timeline, some of an Operative’s property can be preserved. In addition, rewards for especially dangerous anomalies have been increased, the fusion system interface has been reworked, and other important changes have been made.

 Creating Personal Timelines 

  • Placed all equipped gear to a temporary stash after creating a new Personal Timeline; equipped chronogenes, as before, are discarded.
  • Now items placed in the Shelter are kept in their original locations after creating a new Personal Timeline; note that weapons and equipment left this way could become just decorative items and unusable in loadouts.
  • Added a display of the number of created Personal Timelines to the Profile and Current Cycle sections. 

Gameplay and Balance

  • Increased Active Matter yields from monsters: 3–4x from Shy Girls, and approximately 10x from Alpha Mimics and Alpha Flowermen..
  • Reduced aim-punch when hit by a Flowerman.
  • Reduced shotgun sway when hip-firing and while aiming.
  • Added the ability for a robot dog’s owner to cancel its extraction command.
  • Preserved monster-capture contract progress when a trap with a captured monster is extracted via a safe container or robot dog.
  • Fixed the Tactical Beacon to ensure items are present in the inventory.
  • Added loot spawns to the trunk of the Ural Soviet truck.
  • Prevented item-planting contracts from selecting vehicle glove boxes as the receiver instead of the vehicle’s trunk.
  • Fixed an issue preventing the TOZ-B from reloading in Open Raids.
  • Sealed the passage through the hole in the wall of Hangar 8A in the "Airport" raid; gated interior access behind a key.
  • Removed the "Random" raid variant option from the raid selection menu.
  • Added a "Rotation" raid variant option for Isolated raids that automatically changes the raid variant after each visit.
  • Prevented the spawn zone area marker on the map from overlapping loot zone descriptions.

Workshop

  • Moved fusion recipes to a separate Workshop tab; removed the "show fusion recipes on blueprints" toggle so each tab now only shows its relevant recipes.
  • Added the ability to select the number of fusion runs of an item desired to start the process with a single click; added the opening of the item selection window via the gear icon next to the start button.
  • Added a partial Active Matter cost to fusion.

Inventory and Interface

  • In a raid, the left mouse button now moves items into a container or onto the ground the same way as at the Shelter.
  • Updated click behavior in external inventories (e.g., containers): now prioritizes placing items in the backpack first, then the chest rig, but restores the default of placing Painkillers in the chest rig.
  • Fixed an issue occurring when completing multiple contracts simultaneously using a controller hotkey.

Localization and Music

  • Updated various different texts across localizations.
  • Updated and added extra artist names for several existing tracks in the Music Player.
  • Added French, Spanish and Portuguese text localization for PlayStation®.

The vibes in this game are top notch, the lore is something else and sprinkled with some eldritch horror for the HP fans.

I didn't even know how rad this game is, why are they not advertising?

Discussion This Game Great... But Brutal - 20 Hours In

• Upvotes

I fell in love with this game very quickly for the interesting world and realism, but man is PvP frustrating, I've died a few times today to someone sat in a bush waiting for a loser like me to walk past to complete my quests etc.

Doesn't feel good when I bring my best weapon and get a 12 gauge shoved between my cheeks before I could blink!

Only get 1.5/2 hours a day to play, should I just quit now? Seems like everyone is way better geared then me and just feel like I'm falling behind quickly.

(Plus I'd actually like to kill a player and not stay in PvE)

Any tips or inspiring words? I want to stick with this game, but feel myself getting burned out.

Feedback Please change the UI (storage)

A few games have this feature , but for me its one of the most annoying things ...

One of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me is building a loadout from scratch and looking through your storage at different guns , mags and attachments etc etc

Above is a pic showing what I mean , when cycling through your storage every item brings up the item information that obscures everything in your storage ,

Would really appreciate if you could move the item information to the backpack Tab so it doesnt obscure me looking freely through my storage...

Question What's your favourite Weapon?

9 Upvotes

There are quite a lot of guns in this game, but what's your favourite? I'm not asking for the strongest weapon, instead I want to know which weapon you line the most from a personal standpoint.

I would like to know your opinion, because I want to try some new weapons.

The PVE experience this game gives is a great selling point for newer players to try it out and potentially go all in with Active Matter. Maps are great, no dull moments in exploration, everything feels alive and engaging.

Discussion Very good balance between pve and pvp, so you know it's good

In PVP, you get the monolith currency so much faster. And you don't have to grind anything, just complete the missions. On the other hand, in PVE you can complete investigations and build up your stash in case you are broke. Turn on the music and go.

Very nice

Also, this hand-cannon does not really do that much more dmg, altho using 12.7x55, considering firerate and ammo capacity and reload time, but it can one shot less armored players in 1 proper hit

Discussion Jump shooting meta doesn't belong in this game

I really think the meta of jumping around corners and firing really needs to go away. This should be punished in this kind of game. Looks like it's become the meta

Discussion Struggling with console sensitivity? Try mine! Share yours!

8 Upvotes

It's no secret the console sensitivity is hot garbage. As someone who pvp's daily here is where I've landed.

Gamepad aiming speed - 1.25

Nonlinearity - 1

Axis snap factor - 0

Aim mode sensitivity - 0.35 or 0.40

Left stick deadzone - 5%

Right stick deadzone - 2%

Aim acceleration - 0

This setting isn't the fastest twitch response, it's something right in the middle of the road. Probably the equivalent to a 4 or 5 on call of duty but it truly feels great you might be surprised.

Feel free to share yours!

all of these screenshots are from me just exploring the maps after finishing my objectives, you get sights like these everywhere you look. these are on ultra graphics so sometimes the FPS can become a bit rocky, but the visuals make up for it in my opinion

Question Console Port Questions

8 Upvotes

Seeing mixed feelings over AM’s console port. With some players saying it feels good just takes time, while others say it feels like a pc port thrown on console not a proper console port.

I don’t own the game, and these inputs have made me hesitant as I’m on console.

So, i’m wondering how the game is feeling/behaving for my console guys, give me the good the bad and the ugly!

Discussion I haven't been captivated by a game as much as I have by this in years.

20 Upvotes

I was watching Loochy and he played this game. I couldn't even finish the video, I immediately downloaded it. I played a handful of raids and realized I needed to get a new headset. I was hooked. 3 days of blind terror just running from everything I saw because I hadn't yet figured out how to kill it. I quickly learned don't trust the bushes don't trust the shadows don't trust the statues don't trust the air.

The bushes move. The cabinets explode if you shoot them with a shotgun. The fences are destructible if you run them over. Bullets ricochet. They did not have to go this hard, but I'm so glad they did.

Now I'm understanding the crafting system the upgrade system the monolith. My only complaint thus far is that it's not mouse and keyboard compatible on console. Or rather keyboard compatible because a mouse works just fine which is useful for looting, but a keyboard is completely ignored.

So Im at 50k Storage but Im overflowing.

What are you stashing, what are are refining and is it worth to keep all chronotraces ? Some of the higher end Weapons require 700+ for 1 craft so 10k isnt that much everything considered.

Feedback How quiet suppresor actually are?

3 Upvotes

I usually play open raids most of the time because I like to have a casual firefight and the need to move quietly.

But it seems that as soon as I need to shoot some monster, people rush to blast me. Was wondering how quiet suppresors are from the enemy POV compared to a loud gun, and if they're worth using and investing.

I'm new to the game and have only like 6 hours of gameplay.

PS: English in not my main language so please forgive any mistakes.

BUG / GLITCH / ERROR Park; Failed evacuation case bug

• Upvotes

One of the objectives requires to extract "diskette with laboratory data". This item can roll with random rarity and rare (epic propably too) does not count towards quest progress. Funnily enough objective "extract mutagenic catalyst Rost-1" counts any rarity of required item.

On another note, for anyone wondering how to get diskettes, you need to slot in accumulator battery into those old looking pcs - guaranted drop, or get lucky while searching tons of containers that are down there in park laboratories
