So, fighters! 

Are you ready to dive into the final adventure of this year?! If so, get comfortable while the update is downloading and check out the update details! 

In many settlements across the world of WTL, New Year trees have appeared, and along with them the well-known Smuggler, familiar to many of you. As before, he offers to exchange gift cards for contraband goods that he somehow managed to get his hands on.

But this time, the residents of the village of “Korovye” have truly stood out! They decorated a large New Year’s tree near the warehouse \[the burden has never been so light] and invite all of you to take part in the New Year’s Adventure! 

As is customary, danger may be waiting for you in an Adventure. After all, what kind of adventure is it without some risk? In this Adventure, a formidable enemy awaits you the RD-02 Frosty drone! 

By defeating RD-02 Frosty, as tradition dictates, you will receive the largest number of gift cards along with other useful items. Among the rewards, you can also find paint sprays “Frost” and “Snowman’s Rage”, a grand ushanka, a frost bat, and many other items. There is also a very rare artifact among the rewards that does not require a container. It may seem like just a trinket, but it is expensive and beautiful. 

Players above level 20 can take part in the Adventure, regardless of faction. Lower-level players can still earn gift cards by completing quests and killing monsters — nothing has changed in that regard. 

The Adventure itself is designed to last 30 minutes and can be entered every 4 hours. The Adventure format also allows factionless players not to worry about competing with faction players: your equipment will not be destroyed, as it is not required there, and faction warfare is disabled within the Adventure. This way, we want players to fight RD-02 Frosty together as one, without dividing themselves into clans and factions. Let the New Year Adventure be kind and friendly! 

A new item has also appeared in the Smuggler’s exchange the Digitizer paint spray. This is an animated pixel-art–style paint with a digital display that informs you about the number of rounds in the magazine, the need to reload, and weapon repairs. In short - modern digital technology! 

The event starts with the release of the update and will last until January 11 inclusive. There is plenty of time: enough for everyone to play at a relaxed pace and obtain all the rewards. 

• Respawn points in the “Maze” location have been reworked. Previously, it was possible for a character to respawn in areas they had not yet visited. This is no longer possible. More bodies have also been added to the Maze so players can scavenge medkits and bolts, giving lost fighters a better chance to survive. 

• Fixed a bug affecting Listeners in the Maze that allowed them to level up over time to level 100 and become virtually unkillable, dealing extreme damage. This will no longer happen, and in general, it is now actually possible to risk fighting them. 

• Improved game stability on Linux. 

• Reworked the caching system. The “cache” option has been removed from the graphics settings, as it now works differently and much more stably. 

• Fixed an issue where video memory could overflow in certain cases. 

• The stun and fracture effects from grenades are no longer applied to characters in No-PK mode, from characters in No-PK mode, or in locations with forced No-PK mode. 

• Titanium powder can now be listed for sale in the commission shop. 

• Fixed minor issues in location design.
