Stalkers!

We present you a list of changes that were made along with the servers restart:

Cool Heat:

The "Cool Heat" event is now live! Take part in the investigation of anomalous activity and earn valuable rewards!

— The event will last from 14.07.26 to 25.08.26 and will end with the server restart.

— To participate in the event, you need to talk to the NPC "Anomaly Researcher", who are located in:

Seasonal open-world event "Anomalous Breakthroughs":

– The event starts twice an in-game day: from 08:00 to 10:00 and from 20:00 to 22:00 in-game time.

– When the event begins, all stalkers receive a notification that several emission points have temporarily appeared in the area – these will also be marked on the map. In these areas, players face a series of dangers (anomalies, mutants, negative effects) as well as opportunities to obtain valuable loot (increased artifact spawn rates, the discovery of lost stalkers).

– Breakthroughs can be found at the next locations:

Accordingly, players in locations where there are no breakthroughs will not receive notifications about the start of the event.

Seasonal open-world event "Frost Point":

– The event starts at 12:00 in-game time, once per game day.

– As part of the event, players must defend research equipment against waves of advancing animals and mutants. The event's difficulty depends on the number of participating players.

– Ice craters surrounded by equipment can be found near the following major settlements:

– Rewards earned for participation will be sent to the \[Gourmet’s Kitchen] stockman.

— Now you can exchange one part of the "Ice" artifact for another at the "Anomaly Researcher" NPC. The exchange rate is 3 to 1.

Achievements/Contest

As part of the event, we are announcing a small contest for all players!

Added seven new seasonal achievements related to the “Cool Heat” event.

At the start of the event, players will see only 2 achievements. The remaining 5 achievements are hidden.

The first player from each server (RU1, RU2, RU3, EU, and US) to complete all 7 achievements will receive 10,000 Platinum (a currency used to purchase items in the in-game store) after the event ends.

The contest winners will be announced alongside the announcement of the event's conclusion.

We wish you all good luck!

Sincerely, Stay Out Team
