Explore a vast open world with a variety of vehicles and trusty huskies to help you navigate the expansive terrain. Earn points to unlock powerful perks at soda machines, discover new suits, and even unlock dance moves! But beware—time is running out. With a devastating nuclear strike looming from the US government to contain the black goo virus, your mission is clear: salvage critical information about the virus before it’s too late.

Nuclear Nightmare V7.1
Nuclear Nightmare — Patch Notes (V7.1): Improved shooting responsiveness and hit detection — Shooting now uses client-side prediction, making weapons feel significantly more responsive and accurate, especially for players with higher ping. Improved enemy attack interactions — Enemies can now be killed during their attack animation, allowing you to save teammates before the attack finishes. Fixed elevator desync — Fixed an issue that could cause elevators to appear in different positions for different players, particularly when an elevator was called while a player was on the other side of the map. Improved door responsiveness — Doors now use client-side prediction, making opening and closing doors feel much more responsive in multiplayer. Barricade improvements — Barricades are now single-use and remain attached to the door after being placed. They will no longer automatically unequip when another player opens the door, and their animations have also been improved. MP5 and Revolver buff — Slightly increased the effectiveness of both weapons. Fixed MP5 firing bug — Fixed an issue where the MP5 could continue firing while the player was attacked. Added ping display — Your current network ping can now be viewed from the pause menu. Fixed Dog death audio — Fixed an issue that could cause the Dog's death sound to repeatedly play when its body was shot.Read full article on Community Announcements (bgproductionsoffical)Patch NotesOfficial
THE CREVASSE UPDATE
Nuclear Nightmare - The Crevasse UpdateNew Map - The CrevasseA brand new Antarctic location has been added. Fight your way through massive ice crevasses, abandoned facilities and use the new elevator system to move between different sections of the map.Enemy Spawn Pool SelectionServer hosts can now choose exactly which enemies are allowed to spawn on a map through the World Settings. Want the Slug Queen on Low Island? A match with nothing but Mimics? Go for it. The choice is yours.3D Main Menu ReturnsThe main menu once again features unique 3D backgrounds based on the map you currently have selected.Graphical Overhaul & Volumetric CloudsThe game has received a major graphical overhaul. I've spent a lot of time trying to recapture the atmosphere of the older versions while improving the overall visuals.Volumetric clouds have also been added to Tower Island and the new Crevasse map, featuring real cloud shadows across the environment. You can even fly directly through them during helicopter flights.AI OverhaulThis is by far the biggest gameplay change in the update.Enemy AI has been completely reworked from the ground up. Enemies are now capable of travelling across the map naturally and have non-alerted/alerted states, making each match far less predictable. Stealth has also become a much more viable way to play, giving players another option besides simply fighting everything they see.The new system also opens the door for a huge amount of future AI improvements and new enemy behaviors while being significantly more performant than the previous system.When the evacuation helicopter is called, enemies will now begin converging on the extraction zone, making the final escape much more intense. Husky Guard Mode OverhaulGuard Mode has been completely reworked. Huskies now continuously scan for nearby threats instead of reacting less consistently, and they're now capable of fully killing enemies instead of simply distracting them.Worm ImprovementsThe worm can now eat alm...Read full article on Community Announcements (bgproductionsoffical)AnnouncementsOfficial
