* All the carcasses and smell of missery has attracted aggressive flies to the zone.
You won't see them but you will notice them more often. Especially around lakes and swamps.
Be sure to find one around your face anytime soon.
They also may disrupt your sleep when you put your dirty sleeping bag to the test out in the open.

–––––––( WEAPONRY & GEAR )–––––––

* Weapon sounds and animations synchronized

* More Recoil
No shooting from the hip. Recoil of all weapons are now more aggressive so that you need
to take proper aim and use the strength of your hands and torso to shoot with low recoil.
Crouching improves your aim in the optimal way. If you don't aim properly you will suffer great recoil
and weapon sway when shooting in bursts or fully automatic.

* Low Ammunition Ressources
Military forces has excluded the zone even further and ammunition
is now smugled into the zone in a less frequent basis.
This means that traders has less but more valuable ammo to offer at a raised price.
By helping the military faction in Pripyat you are still offered free ammo.

* You have been granted a better flashligth that illuminates the distances in front of you
even better that the last one.

* Your radio has been tinkered with to have stronger and clearer signals.
However, this means that you are also picking up small and weak portions of enemy radio chatter from your area. Some are related to their exploring. Some are related to their tactics.
The frequencies that are picked up are totally random and might be mixed.
Only the frequency of your own faction is clear and reliable.
It could be the secret of a bandit telling his comrade where to find the hidden gas mask
in perfect condition. It could be the radio whispering of an enemy sniper in the top window
of the building asking for the approval of his boss to take you out.
Who wouldn't want that kind of life saving signals?

* All upgrades available for all weapons (still requires tool sets)

* No weapon restrictions in safe zones

* New starting gear

* The VAL can now be modified to use the 5.45x39 FMJ and 5.45x39 AP ammo

* Thermite grenades added

* Military knife, Binoculars, PDA and Identitycard will show up in your inventory,
you can't drop or sell them

* Sleeping bag & sleeping pills

* Tired of feeling sleepy when exploring the zone?
Now barmen in Zaton and Jupiter are selling stronger and more effective energy drinks
to burn off your sleepiness.
Don't use these if you are planning to sleep around the next corner.
Prices have beeen raised a bit because of the higher dosis of caffeine.
I might add that a constant mix between sleeping pills and energy drinks is a bad idea
in the long run. Seek a more natural day/night rhythm.

* There is two sets of knifes in the game now, one that is your standard issue
military knife and works just as the vanilla knife. Then there is the hunting knife
that the rest of the stalkers uses, it uses a weapon slot and you can sell them.

* Ballistic tweaks

* More realistic weapon damage and no iron sight zoom

* The FN2000 can now use the silencer as default

–––––––( LOOTING )–––––––

that helps you navigate within the exclusion zone.
It won't show enemy locations. Neither will it show dead bodies.
It will however indicate your friends and VIPs (like traders).
Still you will find a display of your currently equipped type of ammunition
as well as how much there is left.

* AI Reworked (stalkers & monsters)

* Reworked monster behavior and zombified stalkers are mindless wanderers that attack everything

* Relations tweaked. Stalkers/Bandits no longer turn neutral to each other

* The trader in Zaton (Skadovsk) is now selling PKM ammo after a while

* Re spawns in freeplay (more alternatives of spawns in zaton and jupiter)

* Barmen now selling clear water (prolongs your need for sleep)

* Zombied Stalkers reworked...removed their bleeding and tweaked the damage they take
when they is shot in different areas on the body, they don't heal as quick as before
but is more resilient against bullets. A good weapon to use if they come in a gang
is the Thermite grenade, frag grenade is also good but not as good as Thermite. They
are hard to kill with body shots, but with 1-3 head shots they go down.
