STALZONE Patch Reworks Audio, Duel Maps, and Adds First Season Pack

The September 16 patch for STALZONE arrives with changes across several systems, authored by Morty.

What changed

Audio overhaul The volume system has been rebuilt around a unified baseline. All sliders now default to 100, and general game volume has been adjusted and rebalanced throughout. Players who find the new levels excessive are advised to dial sliders down manually.

Duel maps The Depot and Warehouse duel maps have received visual and layout updates. According to the notes, the intent was to preserve each location's original character while improving navigation and bringing the maps in line with the game's current visual style. More duel map updates are described as in progress.

Zen selling list The vendor Zen now purchases the following items with season currency:

• Pancor Jackhammer
• Centipede style for TEC-9
• Diapason style for Brigand
• Rat King style for Phantom Hunter
• Shout style for Steyr AUG A3
• Cauterizer, Ice Pick, Bone Knife, Ritual Hatchet, Cleaver, Old Sickle

First Season Pack A new bundle has been added, described in deliberately oblique language. It contains a "fishie box," three Aesthete Case IV, 50 Season Levels (bound), 50 Overdrives, and two charms each featuring a random excerpt from a prayer.

Other Language settings have moved to a dedicated section. Changing the interface language now updates NPC names, quest names, and quest markers in real time.

The Electrostorm event has been extended through September 30.

Taken together, the patch prioritises audio consistency and map readability — the kind of foundational work that tends to matter more the longer a game runs.
