Survarium 0.31 Highlights

Bonus for Playing with a Friend

Any game is more fun to play with friends! We wish more players used this opportunity and coordinate their actions with the team. So we have added an additional 25% bonus to experience and reputation if you play in a squad with a friend. The bonus is only available when one of your squadmates is your in-game friend. The bonus stacks with similar bonuses from premium account and boosters.

Premium Account Bonus

We have introduced 10% bonus to experience, reputation and silver, which will be received by all non-premium players if there is at least one player with a premium account in the battle. The player with a premium account gets 50% bonus as usual.

Rebalancing Explosives

We've reduced the explosion radius of RGO grenade and returned the minimum time before detonation. This will make RGO less effective when attacking enemies from around corners and will make it less viable as a kamikaze weapon. We have increased PMN size and added laser sensors to MON-50, so these mines are easier to detect. We have also increased the activation radius of PMN to guarantee detonation when someone steps on it.

Changes to Protection from Anomalies

Previously different items (say, jackets and helmets) with the same isolation parameter had different effects on character's survivability in anomalies. We have introduced several changes designed to make it easier to understand the way isolation works. This will help you to better predict the chances to survive in anomalies.

Changes in Repairing Items

Repair is a great mechanic to balance the game economy. But previously repairing critically damaged items was too expensive. From now on critical damage will no longer dramatically increase repair cost and will not require time for repairs.

New Character Faces

We have introduced four new character faces. This time the developers served as prototypes. We also made a long overdue change and separated items that occupy multiple slots into two different items. Given the possibility of adding modifications, these items did not match the characteristics of their counterparts. The change list: Marauder, UM-2 Hammer, UM-4 Zubr, Pilgrim. Now you can upgrade both the helmet and the mask!
