The Apocalypse season continues with the third major content pack, Update 0.36!

 

Here’s what you can look forward to right now:

 

Special Operation “Famine”

 

The third mission of the Apocalypse Special Operation awaits you in this update.

 

In this episode, Ivo Rinaldi and Igor Kopylov land near Mostar to negotiate a steady food supply with local merchants. Of course, things won’t go as planned, but such is the nature of living in an apocalyptic wasteland.

 

This mission is available the same way previous Special Operation missions were – in order to access it, you need to play the previous Special Operation missions of the series, “Plague” and “War”.

 

It comes with its own set of achievements and rewards, including a new camouflage and a player avatar. New mechanics, including the Car Bomb AI vehicles, are also available. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.

 

Ghost Field Fixes

 

We’ve fixed a large number of Ghost Field map issues. You can read more about them in our dedicated article.

 

Please note that these changes also affect the PvE maps that use Ghost Field as their basis (Snake Bite, Albatross, Umbrella).

 

New Engine Sounds

 

We’ve updated the engine and transmission sounds for many engines in the game as well as the way they interact with engine load to offer you a more realistic experience. This change affects diesel engines and gasoline engines.

 

Further Season Plans

 

Update 0.36 will be available at least until September and a steady stream of content will be available throughout its course. Here’s a sample of what you can look forward to this summer:

  • Scandinavian-themed Northern Wind Battle Path, coming in late June or early July (learn more)
  • An epic summer event with another set of unique prizes, coming in August
  • Multiple celebrations, gifts and bonuses
  • Five new standard PvE missions
  • Other new skins and a pretty cool MBT
  • UI improvements and overhauls
  • Various smaller features, rebalances and fixes

And much more. You can read more about the contents of Update 0.36 below:

Yes.  The only ones that don't are the ones that are part of a skin.
