STALCRAFT: X Patch Notes - 15th April 2026

Following yesterday's scheduled maintenance, today's STALCRAFT: X patch is live, and the most immediately welcome fix is a boring-sounding one: location transitions were taking 20 seconds when they should have been 10. If you've been sitting at loading screens longer than usual lately, that's why, and it's now corrected.

On the Inside Out event side, the Transmuter gets two meaningful bumps: more artefacts drop when you spin the Centrifuge to stage five, and the rarity of those drops has been pushed up both from the Transmuter itself and after eruptions. Ten extra Inverter pistol blueprints have also been added to the episode shop, which should ease some of the grind for players still chasing that weapon. The Clearing out Phantom Camps task now requires four spots cleared instead of three, so expect a slightly longer run on that one.

The patch also introduces a Second Seasonal Pack bundling 50 season levels, 40 Strategic Reserve crates, and the On the Radar paints set. Visual effects for several anomalies have been updated too, though the developers note that change is specifically in to gather performance data and isn't final. NA region Subdivisions activities have also shifted back one hour. The complete notes are below.
