Huge rework of lighting on all arenas, improved visuals, added some details and the most important — FPS boost. Here are some noticable examples:
Dead End SandboxStairsBathsHand Poses
Custom poses for all game firearms are here! No more wacky grabs, clipping fingers and other immersion-breaking visual glitches. Hold your guns like you should.

Things we are working on
Here are some cool things we are working on right now, some you'll see quite soon, but some will take months, let's dive into our plans together!More Virtual Cameras
More tools for content makers to create impressive machinimas and show Hard Bullet from new angles. We plan to add possibility to switch between several cameras that you can place on arena. We also are working on innovative AI camera that should follow player as he goes though levels.
And of course we'll finally be able to see the main character's face reactions!
Lever Action Rifles
After delivering you break action and revolvers, the most tricky type of firearm is left — the lever action rifle. We plan to ship those during March-April period.
Raid* Game Mode
Our try in large arenas like City Rooftops gone quite well so we decided to move further and started working on new game mode with working title Raid. *It does not mean we want you to assult somehting, it just sounds nice.
This also includes long-awaited AI update and some narrative so we'll be a step closer to more complex things like Story mode in the future.
There is no strict date for this new game mode, we'll show some progress in Devlogs when we'll be ready.
