STALCRAFT: X Patch Reworks Duel Maps and Extends Electrostorm Through September 30
The update also resets volume sliders to 100, changes Zen's season-currency inventory, and adds the First Season Pack.
STALCRAFT: X has updated its two duel arenas, extended Electrostorm through September 30, and reset the game’s audio baseline in the September 16 patch. The full Steam patch notes also add a new season pack, revise Zen’s selling inventory, and move language controls into their own settings section.
Depot and Warehouse are the first duel maps to receive the treatment. Their layouts have only minor navigation adjustments, while the visuals now line up with the game’s current style. The update confirms the changes previously shown in the Depot and Warehouse map preview, with the remaining duel maps still in progress.
The new audio setup gives every volume slider a default value of 100. If the revised mix sounds too loud, the patch notes direct players to adjust the sliders to their preference. Language changes should also be easier to track, since NPC names, quest names, and quest markers now update in real time after the interface language changes.

Electrostorm extension
Extended Electrostorm event until September 30.
Volume system rework
We’ve reworked the volume system to establish a unified baseline and allow for more precise audio balancing in the future.
- Adjusted and rebalanced general game volume.
- All volume sliders are now set to 100 by default.
If the current settings seem too loud, please adjust the sliders to your preference.
Duel maps rework
Updated the visuals and layouts of Depot and Warehouse duel maps.
While reworking them, we aimed to preserve the original vision of the locations, making only minor changes to improve navigation. The main goal of the update is to bring the duel maps in line with the game’s current visual style.
This is the first batch of updated locations. The remaining duel maps are also in progress, and you’ll soon get to see their new look.
Zen selling list update
Updated list of items that Zen buys 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

First Season Pack
A vague silhouette that appears with every mention. Blurred figures constantly moving in the shadows of the corners… Maybe you can find something in the fishie box that will help you get rid of this obsession? Next come three Aesthete Case IV, 50 Season Levels (bound), and 50 Overdrives. And for the particularly religious, the set includes two charms, each featuring a random excerpt from a prayer. Amen.
Other
- Moved language settings to a separate section in the game settings.
- When changing the interface language, NPC names, quest names, quest markers, etc. are now updated in real time to match the selected language.
