STALCRAFT: X gets a server-side hotfix with tougher enemies, better loot odds, and faster centrifuges
EXBO's April 10 update was applied without stopping servers and also changed Onyx, Phantom Keys, Memoria, and Inside Out patrols.
STALCRAFT: X received a server-side hotfix on April 10, 2026, and EXBO applied it without stopping the game servers. The update touches combat pressure, event rewards, and a few economy drops, with changes that should be felt right away once players update and restart the game.
The patch also lines up with the game’s recent live-service tune-up cycle, following the Inside Out Percolation update and the smaller cleanup pass that went out earlier in the week. This time, the focus is narrower, but it still reaches across mutant fights, centrifuge timing, and some of the zone’s reward flow.
Patch Notes
The biggest changes here center on enemy tuning and resource pacing. NPCs and mutants were made a little tougher, but EXBO also raised the sell value of filler items and improved several drops tied to progression and event play. The hotfix further trims centrifuge time, boosts Onyx and Memoria gains in specific situations, and turns off some patrols in Inside Out areas.
Hotfix [10.04.2026]
The following changes have been made to the game without stopping the game servers:
- Adjusted the difficulty of NPCs and mutants;
- Increased the sell value of filler items;
- Increased the drop chance of Inverter schematics;
- Reduced the centrifuge operation time by 10 seconds.
- To ensure the centrifuge timer displays correctly, please update the game.
- Increased the amount of Onyx obtained from clearing mutants and from safes;
- Increased the drop chance of Phantom Keys;
- Reduced distortion damage — it now starts applying later;
- Increased the amount of Memoria in areas on high-population servers;
- Disabled some NPC patrols in Inside Out areas.
The changes will take effect after updating and restarting the game.
