WHAT'S NEW?

Storm Shaper
The power of the Storm is now yours!

WEAPONS AND ITEMS

Storm Shaper
- A throwable object explodes on impact and creates a spherical shaped area.
- Where the sphere overlaps with the Tempest zone, a safe zone is created.
- Where the sphere overlaps the safe zone, a Storm zone is created.
- Storm Shaper deals the same damage as the current Storm.
- The zone exists for 20 seconds and then disappears.
- An item of epic rarity.
- Can be found in buildings, chests and vending machines.
- Appears in sets of 1.
- Max. set size: 1 pc.
Items removed from the game
- All types of hunting rifle
- While we appreciate the variety of ranged weapons, the semi-automatic rifle has outperformed the hunting rifle in some ways since it became hitscan, hitting the target instantly. And now there are several types of sniper rifles available to players, and they do not have an urgent need for a hunting rifle.
cargo drone
- Sniper Pack spawn chance reduced from 12,5% to 8,45%
- Explosive Pack spawn chance reduced from 12,5% to 7,04%
- The drop rates for rare and highly effective items from Cargo Drones were too high in our opinion, so we slightly lowered the availability of these items.
Turret
- The turret is now 20% more resistant to overheating.
- Players have become less likely to use the turret. By making it slightly more resistant to overheating, we have balanced the risk/benefit ratio.
Max. Thunderbolt charge time increased from 1 sec. up to 1,25 sec.
- Bow "Gromoboy" turned out to be more powerful than we expected. This change is intended to reduce the weapon's rate of fire, making it more risky to miss. We want to evaluate this change before making new ones, and may continue to update bow stats until we have the desired effect.
The sound of the air pipe, the pink ring, and the rotating blades are disabled during the fifth phase of the Tempest, when the air pipes themselves are disabled.
Players resurrected using the Respawn Van will lose invulnerability when shooting or starting construction.
Fans no longer require such landing accuracy. This was done to prevent players from taking damage if jumped on them from a great height.
