- Major Clan Wars Update - 4 November 2020
Wanderers, this is a list of changes that are already available in the game. Don't forget to join our Discord server to discuss an update with community members and developers and offer any good ideas for improving the game! New easy premium currency farm and changes to solo Control Points. As an experiment, we decided to return the capture points in Kimary and Crater to the logic that was in the Pre-Alpha version of the project and give F2P players the opportunity to earn premium currency in sufficient quantities. - Now the points are always active. - Rewards for points have been reduced, but now capturing a point will continuously bring you character experience, premium currency, clan experience, and resources every 10 minutes while you control it. - You can capture multiple points at the same time. - Rewards for capturing points are awarded at any distance from them. - After the 6th…

- Controller and character progress, summer roadmap, and other development news. - 21 July 2020
Wanderers of Wasteland! We continue to work on improving the game and new character controller. While most of the team is working on it, we're also keeping in mind other important elements and bugs that need to be fixed. We've already shared this roadmap on our social networks and on the discord server, but we're sure it won't be a bad idea to share it with this announcement as well. https://i.imgur.com/pxZJPWK.png In the run-up to a major patch with mines and grenades update, we want to show some new features to be added to the future controller. In all previous versions of our character moving system, it was impossible to sit down. Although it is not very useful in monster attacks, but in shootings with live players this feature strikes well. https://i.imgur.com/gw5bXpR.png Oh yeah, if you haven't seen the updated character model yet. https://i.imgur.com/S8KmQTz.jpg We decided to go f…
