Update 1.12: Halloween Seasonal Event

Hello Deadsiders!

At 03:00pm CEST / 08:00am CDT we will release version 1.12!

This seasonal update includes not only new event items but new weather conditions, vehicle features, and more that we will talk about in this post. This update will not come with any wipe, all of your progress will be maintained

During the patch deployment servers may be temporarily unavailable. Game client update is required.

The Modkit will be rebuilt with the update. Mod authors should make sure to test and verify that their mods continue to function correctly after the update deployment.

Lets begin with one of the most anticipated features coming in this version; Weather! With a bit of technical work we have added a new cloud system, allowing for dynamic cloud cover that casts shadows on objects below. The sky can now shift between three different states: clear, cloudy, or overcast. In future updates we would like to continue to improve this weather system with even more types of weather conditions.

With this update releasing in October, it's only fitting that we begin our annual Halloween event. But this time instead of adding the same event items you are used to we wanted to make it more interesting. We created and added new items and event features for you to find in game. Pumpkin decorations can be found in gardens, fields, and greenhouses. Tombstones, statues, candles, and skeleton parts can be found in cemeteries. While you are there you will notice a new mysterious altar which you can use to craft pumpkin and skull lanterns, and assemble a skeleton that can be used as a mannequin.

All of this is included with all of the Halloween items you have seen in past updates. But if this is your first Halloween event, that means finding AI wearing seasonal helmets and sporting weapons with seasonal skins. There is also a high chance of looting these weapon skins from containers around the world.

As always our art team is working to improve Mirny with each update. This time they have improved the Pyramid POI by expanding the perimeter of the complex. The city of Kamensk has been worked on as well, with some visual corrections and improvements to the area.

Lastly we have a few miscellaneous features like increased grenade throw range, higher blueprint folder spawns in military and industrial POIs, and two new random weapon blueprint cases available for purchase at the traders. And with that we have covered everything in version 1.12!

Let us know what you think about this update, and what you would like to see in the next one! The best place to do that is our Nolt page, a platform where you can submit ideas and vote on the ideas of others. We watch that page and periodically update the posts there to let you know what we are working on. Thanks for reading, for those interested we have the full patch notes below. Enjoy the update and seasonal event!
