Anomaly Zone Update

Stalkers!

A new update has been deployed to the RU server.

 

New Event — "The Great Hunt"

Following the outbreak of fungal growths, mutant attacks on stalkers nearly came to a halt. Their packs retreated deep into the forests, and it seemed that the Zone had finally begun to calm down.

However, the peace was short-lived. A massive mutant migration led to a rapid increase in their population, and the threat has once again spread across the inhabited territories.

The retired Colonel, together with the hunters of Tunguska, has announced The Great Hunt. All stalkers are invited to take part in clearing the Zone, collecting trophies, and competing for the title of the greatest hunter.
