Gaijin Entertainment has rolled out update 0.1.0.137 for Active Matter, bringing fresh tweaks that enhance stealth and combat dynamics. Players can now leverage new thermal-invisibility options to slip past enemies undetected, while crossbow users get improved accuracy for those precise shots in unstable zones.
Stealth and Combat Enhancements
This patch introduces "Cold-blooded" chronogenes, which dial down your visibility on thermal scopes. It's a game-changer for operatives who rely on staying hidden while harvesting active matter or ambushing rivals from alternate timelines. Imagine creeping through a warped Soviet-era lab without lighting up like a beacon – this could shift raid strategies toward more aggressive stealth plays.
Crossbow enthusiasts will appreciate the rezeroing at 25 meters and a flatter bolt trajectory. These changes make silent takedowns more reliable, especially against physics-bending anomalies or Distorteds that now settle down quicker if you just rattle them without a full wake-up call. It's a small but welcome nod to players who prefer quiet eliminations over loud firefights.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
Scope glare has been toned down across all optics, reducing those pesky lens flares that could give away your position in bright environments. On the prep side, a new "Repair all equipment" button in the Raid screen saves time – no more fiddling with individual items before diving into a time loop.
Resource management gets a boost too: Refining gasoline canisters now nets you credits worth 20% of their volume, and a bug fix ensures empty enriched backpacks yield credits based on their compact size. These tweaks make post-raid cleanup more rewarding, encouraging smarter looting in those reality-warping zones.
What's New in Audio and Fixes?
Sound design sees upgrades with fresh effects for bullets zipping by and impacts, adding immersion to intense exchanges. A fix ensures reload noises from behind are audible, preventing those awkward silent moments. Music player controls have moved to the Sound options for easier access, and captured dog tags now display proper descriptions instead of glitchy text.
Overall, this update polishes Active Matter's core loop, making survival and extraction feel more intuitive. For full details, check the official Gaijin Entertainment site.
