Patch 0.4.3.0 Now Live - Changelog
Hey, everyone,
We have deployed Patch 0.4.3.0 to the live servers. If the update does not appear automatically, please restart Steam to trigger the download.
Read the full CHANGELOG below.
Overview
Patch 0.4.3.0 introduces Long-Term Contracts (LTCs for short) as a new activity for players. LTCs are extensive assignments that require players to search for specific items, investigate remote locations, or eliminate targets across regions. They are unlocked by discovering new world regions and are displayed in a separate panel on the map, unlike other task types.
We are also making improvements to the tactical map itself. Regions are now clearly highlighted with a border when hovered over. The improved region widget shows more details, such as the most common enemy type and how much of the region has already been explored.
The patch also includes various fixes, for example, improving handguard durability for the Mossberg M590 and several fixes related to mounting and using magnifiers.
