Save continuity - Existing campaigns carry over into the 23-chapter campaign with their records, equipment and progression.

Save safety - A failed save keeps your progress in memory until Retry succeeds, and a save that needs recovery now opens on the main menu.

Documents - Take collects a document without opening it, Read opens it when you choose, and carried documents show in the inventory.

Industrial Area meadow - Meadow grass, wildflowers and broadleaf trees now sway in a breeze under a late-afternoon sun.

Distinct woods - Each stretch of woods has its own character, from a golden birch grove to an old orchard, with a tree line beyond the outer wall.

Interior light - Soft daylight now fills the four houses and the secure warehouse.

Access cards - Cards are now reusable: hold one and insert it into a reader.

Firearm models - The pistols, automatic rifle and shotgun have new models, animations and two-handed grips.

First-person arms - Weapons and hand-held devices show your operator's own hands, skin tone and jacket sleeves.

Recoil - Firing now lifts your aim, each weapon brings back part of its climb, and aiming down the sights braces it.

Aiming - Aiming down the sights hides the reticle so the sights mark the point of aim, and the automatic rifle gains an aperture rear sight.

Reloads - Pistols and the automatic rifle swap magazines by hand and rack the slide or charging handle after an empty magazine.

Hotbar swaps - Drop a tool onto another to trade places, between hotbar slots or with the backpack, in the field and on the Loadout tab.

Helicopter touchdown - The drop-off helicopter lands with one heavy skid clunk instead of a light rattle.

Craft tab - Recipes show as cases, and each build sheet states what the item does before you make it.

Loadout tab - Your operator stands beside the equipment slots wearing the chosen gear, with its total protection and speed.

Skills tab - Clicking a module opens its training record, and a point is spent only with its Train key.

Achievements tab - Achievements show as tiles on the base's notice board, with progress bars and Track keys.

Loading screen - Overreach's loading screen stays up through the whole deployment, and the studio intro plays once per launch.

Narrow screens - The lobby fits 16:10 screens, with the whole skill tree in view and every module clickable.

Voice chat - At base the squad talks at any range, and dead or extracted operators share their own channel.

Deployment - Departure saves the squad's packed kit first, and an operator who drops out before entering gets it back.

Menus - The world stops drawing behind the main menu and the lobby.

Keyboard navigation - Lobby tabs, recipes, the Loadout and the destination board work with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter and Space.

Save continuity - Existing campaigns retain their equipment and progression; completed 0.1.0 campaigns continue at chapter 11.

Mission guidance - Clearer briefings, off-screen objective arrows and recovery instructions help the squad find its next step.

Blueprint caches - Caches prioritize unknown plans and provide useful supplies when their plans are already learned.

Clinic search - Searching the clinic records no longer generates Heat or summons a reinforcement pack.

Quarantine boundaries - Zones, contaminated air, enemy difficulty and extraction depth now follow the district's ring walls.

Machine feedback - Station lamps show their operating state, and warehouse card readers indicate locked and open entrances.

Extraction visibility - A painted boundary and animated landing lights make the helipad's extraction area easier to read.

Infected attack tells - Earlier wind-ups, clearer Runner lunges and stronger Brute slam feedback make attacks easier to read.

Infected animations - Improved movement, hit reactions and directional deaths.

Knife feedback - Added varied slashes, stronger impacts and brief hit reactions.

Shotgun spread - Pellets vary between blasts, and aiming keeps the shotgun focused on close-range combat.

Weapon kick - Firearms provide distinct visual recoil while preserving the player's actual aim.

Surge pursuit - Surge infected can abandon the hunt after the squad breaks contact and gets far enough away.

Consumable gestures - Healing and filter replacement trigger brief hand movements that yield immediately to combat actions.

Run reports - Review chapter progress, learned plans, levels and carried loot, with item names and an expandable full haul.

HUD readability - Improved text sizes, status readouts, control prompts and handling of long names.

Item icons - Updated weapon and ammunition icons, including a suppressed pistol that matches the standard pistol.

Backpack firearms - Move firearms between the hotbar and backpack while keeping their loaded ammunition.

Backpack respirators - Pack or stow a gas mask without losing filter charge; protection applies only while it is worn.

Infected footsteps - Nearby footsteps follow the movement animations more closely.

Session feedback - Clearer host departure, connection loss and deployment notices help guests understand session changes.

Smoother play - Reduced combat HUD rebuilds, saving overhead on kills and unnecessary enemy navigation updates.
