EARLY ALPHA 0.33.0 · 26 SEPTEMBER 2026

OPEN ENLISTMENT

FEATURES

Create your own account: choose a login name and a strong password, then confirm your email with a six-digit code. Where the server offers it, you can sign in with Google instead. One account per email.
Pick your nickname after your first login. Nicknames are unique, up to 16 characters, and must use visible letters from one alphabet. Your first change is free; after that you can change it once every 14 days.
New accounts start on the Field edition. Edition kits were rebalanced, and Vanguard and Founder operators start with +0.20 standing with every trader except the Broker. Vanguard now carries the 3×2 Redoubt secure container.
Seven storage cases that only take what they are made for: the Greyforge Cartridge Chest (ammunition), MedCore Field Pharmacy (medicine), Blackline Rifle Transit Case (weapons and parts), Atlas Expedition Trunk (most items), Frontier Mag Locker (magazines), Lockwell Key Wallet (keys) and Buran Scrapper's Crate (barter goods). They go into raids with you. Look for them in Room 354 on Freight Yard, behind the red-seal key.
Developer accounts show a teal name with their own badge and wear a developer dogtag.
Moderation: the team can ban, kick and mute players. A banned player is removed from the game at once and sees why and until when.
The server now runs raids in parallel across all of its processor cores. When it is busy it asks new players to wait a moment instead of slowing down raids already in progress.
Forgot your password? Use the link under the password field: we email a six-digit code to your account's address, and you choose a new password. The email also reminds you of your login name.
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are linked from the login screen.
Two new bosses with guards of their own Guard faction, each in 40% of raids. The Fixer holds Freight Yard's hostels, the Petrel forecourt or the construction site behind four guards and carries a gilded R17 that drops only from him. The Warden holds the Blackwood lumber mill with a scoped VMR-54, warns strangers with a couple of shots, and always carries the key to his stash hut. Neither pushes like the Foreman; their guards do, and everyone throws grenades.
New tasks: Volkov's Collection Day (the Fixer) and Orlov's first task, Timber Rights (the Warden).

BUG FIXES & POLISH

Much lighter networking: raids use about a third of the data they did, logging in downloads about an eighth, and stash and trader actions send almost nothing.
More responsive movement and aim: your operator is drawn exactly where you are moving, server corrections are smoothed instead of snapping, and the weapon no longer trails the crosshair while you move.
Fixed keys pressed in quick succession sometimes firing twice (a double reload, a fire-mode or visor toggle undoing itself, a door opening and closing again).
Lower CPU use in raid: fewer interface redraws, blood, scorch marks and prompts drawn once, the Blackwood forest culled outside the view, and smooth drag and drop in the raid inventory and trader screen.
Dogtags show their owner's level on the icon, and founder and developer names are animated in the dogtag inspect window.
Your dogtag now has its own locked slot next to your pockets, in the stash and in the raid inventory.
The bottom bar is hidden on the map selection screen, and its base tab is now called SHELTER.
The trader card was redesigned: the loyalty level sits on the portrait, and meters show your level, reputation and spending against the next loyalty level.
The raid loading screen now tells you why a raid could not start (no nickname yet, or you are in a group) instead of searching forever.
Repeated failed logins are slowed down, and passwords are checked against common and easily guessed ones.
The packaged game resets its four test accounts once to a fresh starting kit.
Nurse no longer sells keys: find them in raids.
Edition starting kits are laid out neatly by type (weapons, armour, helmets, rigs and bags, magazines, ammo, medicine, food, money), and the Founder kit no longer includes the class 6 SLK-6 plate carrier.
Changing your nickname updates the dogtag in your stash at once.
The stash header shows your own edition and stash size (it said Founder edition for everyone).
Force Offline is now called Offline Practice.

Protocol update: hard-refresh the browser (Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-R).
