Update 0.4.0.78

Sensors that are required to be defended for contracts have become more durable, and WWII-era weapons can now be found in raids. We've continued improving Shelter customization, the Replicator now has a "Collect All" button, and the Alpha Mimic no longer attacks through walls. All of this plus many other fixes and improvements!

Gameplay and Balance

• Updated Harmonization Cycle 2 offers: unlocking now also grants one copy of the item; unlock a weapon and receive the weapon itself.
• Updated Quick Refine: now triggers on every raid entry, including Isolated raids.
• Reworked damage to sensors used in contracts: they are now harder for monsters to destroy.
• Added extra Active Matter to monster spawns depending on raid size and variant (Isolated or Open).
• Tuned spawn invisibility: it now ends when toggling night vision devices, same as with other actions.

Monsters

• Fixed the Alpha Mimic attacking players through walls and roofs.
• Fixed Swarms so they no longer attacks players inside a closed vehicle cabin.
• Fixed contact-detonation projectiles (e.g., RPG-7 rockets) passing through monsters like Statues.
• Fixed Ball Lightnings getting stuck in one place.

Weapons and Equipment

• Improved SCAR-H accuracy.
• Made the SCAR-H and M110A1 now share a single muzzle device slot.
• Allowed a suppressor to now be attached to the SCAR-H.
• Improved the icon for the Police Flashlight.
• Reworked loot:

• Reduced the number of ammo packs in Turned Soldiers' inventory.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the B-7 binoculars from being used from a quick-access slot.
• Adjusted binocular behavior: they now lower only when right up against a wall.
• Made empty scout drones take up less inventory space.
• Adjusted scope blur: it no longer depends on FOV or magnification; rebalanced blur intensity.
• Softened scope lens reflections to be less distracting while remaining noticeable in dark environments.
• Added animations for using canisters.

Raids and Map

• Fixed instances of missing marker zones in monster-capture Investigations.

• Adjusted placement of public contract containers in Downtown: they no longer float or intersect with scenery.
• Added a gravity zone by a contract building in Park to make it clearer how to reach the roof.
• Made subway car door glass breakable.

Shelter and its Customization

• Improved Shelter Edit Mode: split Return to Storage and Reset Position into independent actions; no longer ignore collision checks when resetting from the Furniture menu; hid the Reset button for items already in place.
• Improved item selection in Shelter Edit Mode: more precise selection of small, closely placed objects.
• Fixed the transition effect between Edit and Build modes.
• Fixed instances of flickering light and beeping that persisted in the Shelter after the tutorial.
• Adjusted the shooting range: you can no longer select monsters as targets you haven’t "discovered".

Interface

• Fixed a gamepad bug where one item in the shop had focus but pressing the hotkey purchased another.
• Enabled SCAR-H ammo and modification purchases via the context menu on the weapon slot.
• Fixed instances of incorrect weapon shown in the tooltip when viewing a squadmate’s gear.
• Fixed the queue waiting window changing layout when switching between Open and Isolated raids.
• Consolidated Replicator pickup to a single "Collect All" button; finished items no longer get stuck behind an in-progress replication.
• Adjusted favorites in the Replicator: the favorite star now applies to Active Matter and chronotraces; repair cost is no longer starred by mistake; favorited Refiner rewards are shown first in the tooltip.
• Hid quick access slot icons in Refiner and Replicator windows.
• Fixed a bug that prevented some Investigation tooltips from opening in the Harmonization window.
• Fixed the purchase indicator getting stuck after acquisitions not related to Monolith unlocks.
• Fixed shop volume calculation errors preventing attempting to purchase items through the weapon slot and eliminated rounding errors for volume bonuses.

Spectator Mode and Rescue

• Hid the deceased player’s quick slots in Spectator Mode so they no longer overlay a teammate’s gear.
• Fixed item recognition in the watched teammate’s Rig when in Spectator Mode.
• Hid items for hidden contracts in the inventory when spectating a teammate.
• Fixed an issue where an accepted rescue request marker could appear outside the playable area.
