This update is truly iconic and takes the game to the next level of development and here's why. The final redesign of all the old cartoon models of the game has been completed, from weapons to building elements.

In this aiming mode, the weapon wobbles and the recoil becomes significant. But given that many did not like the realistic behavior of the weapon, it was decided to add this part to the difficulty settings and set the default to 25% of the standard. If you are a fan of realistic weapon behavior, change the settings to 100% before starting the game. Before version 16, stamina was not very important and players often did not increase the level of stamina in favor of strength. Since update 16, stamina also affects interaction with weapons. With a significant decrease in endurance, the weapon begins to shake more strongly and the recoil also increases. [img]https://i.imgur.com/400wyVJ.gif[/img] A large number of firearm improvements have been introduced into the game. To place upgrades, hover over the desired weapon and press the Q key, which will open an upgrade slot in the upper right corner of your inventory.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/164ac3ff0bffed1cbd972f9ce50cabb307e36a80.jpg[/img] A system of improved bows has been introduced. Improved bows will increase arrow damage. Considering that Strength also increases arrow damage, bows are a meaningful weapon on par with firearms without creating the noise that in this update can attract the attention of zombies at long distances. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/fe570145e2f7e1d15951394e89816ecfca0f7724.jpg[/img] The range of melee weapons has become significantly further and zombie attacks have become shorter. Zombie detection for melee weapons has also been changed; the strike falls not exactly in the center of the screen, but along the arc of the strike. It is also possible to fight with fists and this works well for simple zombies. If this resonates with the players, I plan to develop the theme of fist fights by adding various brass knuckles. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QE8cQhF.gif[/img] The ability to produce cartridges for all types of weapons was introduced; for this, new resources were introduced into the game. Batteries can now be found in car hoods, which can be processed into lead ingots for later making bullets. In the future, batteries will be needed for the manufacture of batteries for various equipment. In kitchens you can find brass utensils that can be melted down into cartridges. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/d7eeebac344cbefcbf8bb9d6be8144e7020c6e2e.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/c76ac52b611f283394a94f3a954c59c6aa3bf051.jpg[/img] Axes have appeared in the game, in addition to the fact that with this formidable weapon the player will finally be able to extract wood for subsequent sawing into boards. Unfortunately, for now you can only cut down fallen trees, which are mostly carefully felled near the railway tracks, but can also be found deep in the forest. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/fca41f4d69a4753865d195f1645d1eb3b0b21655.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37023039/113393fab81fd3e4f3f0ac5b72d0214c407c423c.jpg[/img] Some players may have a fair question, because you promised to start working on new locations. In essence, this update is part of a larger work on new locations, as at the time of the completion of Update 15, I had run out of all character content and had nothing to reward players when exploring new locations, which largely took away the point of visiting new locations. Now, with the release of Update 16, I have an extensive base of content and a base to create even more if necessary in the process of creating new locations and developing the plot.
