📦 Arsen is clearing his shelves
The most charismatic mechanic in the Zone is clearing out old stock. Items that are no longer obtainable in the Faction North are being removed from his rotation.
🗒 Full list:
• Filter;
• Artefact fragments of all sizes;
• Mutant's bone;
• Resources crates of all sizes;
• Crate of parts;
• Box of Spare Parts;
• Laptop.
❗️ If you've been saving up currency for anything on this list, hurry. Arsen won't keep these goods forever. And if you have any of these items gathering dust in your stash, now is the perfect time to sell them off or put them to use until December 2.
🏆 Check your mail for season rewards!
We know you had to wait longer than usual, but we checked every player in the top rankings to make sure the spots went only to legitimate fighters.
Some players may have disappeared from the leaderboard because not everyone passed the verification.
🏅 Congratulations to those who climbed into the higher leagues and secured their place among the strongest!

The following changes were made to the Festivity without stopping the game servers:
• Changed NPC spawn intervals and stats.
