A new column on the left tracks what you drank or injected: how much radiation the dose dropped or how much health came back, and under it the effect itself with its item icon and a timer, blinking through its last ten seconds
Step into the radiation band at the edge of the map and a warning blinks in the middle of the screen with an arrow, telling you which way the lethal dose is
The clock chimes on the hour with a single beep, and through the last hour of a sortie it rings like a real alarm, four short beeps and a pause, with the red lamp flashing exactly in time with them
The kung charger really shocks you now: hold E and it twitches you from a random side with every discharge
Music in your hands warbles while the charger is zapping you, the same way on every screen in the crew

The button that leaves a location is now held for two seconds with a progress bar, the way the bar departure already was, so nobody drives the crew off by pressing it once
Shining your flashlight straight at a monster gives you away even from inside a bush, the bush hides your body, not your light
A Pasechnik sends its swarm at a silent player from a metre and a half, not three, it used to catch you through a thin wall and a floor above
A Liho hits for 60 health instead of 50
The hour when monsters head over to guard the truck now depends on how dangerous the location is, 20 to 23 on the easiest and as early as 15 on the hardest
The doll is carried by the waist with her head up, and the record player lies flat on an open palm with the lid open and the record facing up

A Liho no longer finishes off the player it just knocked down: it backs off and leaves you alone for a few seconds, even where its grid has nowhere to run
Monsters no longer move into the truck for good: one that ran in after you walks back out down the ramp once you leave, then patrols around the truck
Bush rustle no longer goes wild at the edge of a bush, it used to restart dozens of overlapping copies
Charger arcs ride along with the truck instead of staying parked where you started
