This latest game update contains additional content changes and bug fixes.

  • Removed Fishing Hut Node
    • Developer Comments: This area was not updated to align with the new Nodes System, so we removed it.

    • Developer Comments: This new perk is only effective against non-player enemies and won’t have any impact in PvP.

  • Adjust the order of raw materials in safehouse tasks to match the general raw material safehouse overview. 
  • Spitters now have their own new sound effects.

2. Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where visual effects for loot from enemies and harvestable spots were not displayed correctly.
  • Fixed a bug with harvestable spots not spawning correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where, under certain conditions, enemies did not drop any loot.

Inside a Zombie’s Brain: Enemies of Persist Online7 min read

Greetings, Scavengers

The open world of Persist Online is not defined by ruins alone. It is defined by the enemies that inhabit every street, forest, and stronghold. Some are beasts defending their territory, others are organized human factions, and many are the restless undead that never truly disappear.

Each enemy type plays a role in shaping the world. They react to your actions, they occupy specific areas, and they determine how far you can push into new regions. Today we want to share an overview of these enemy groups and, as the title suggests, take a closer look at what goes on inside their heads.

Finally, we introduced several important content changes, balance updates, graphical and performance improvements, and fixed a number of bugs and issues.

In this update, we fixed a wide range of issues, from the thermal imaging camera and bunker interface to trade bugs and visual effects. Combat feels smoother, skills like Marathon Lungs and Haste have been rebalanced for better flow, and melee movement has been improved. We also opened a new district north of the Waterfront — Tide View, a lively redevelopment zone filled with hotels, restaurants, and a casino.

The apocalypse has changed. This update is not just about fixes or tweaks — it is about evolution.
Every corner of Persist Online has been touched, from the way you fight to the way light moves across the ruins of Ashwater. Weapons now have true identity, zombies are more dangerous and unpredictable, and the entire world runs smoother thanks to a complete graphics overhaul and countless under-the-hood improvements.

This update expands Persist Online with new content, improved visuals, and deeper combat. Every weapon type now has its own identity, from auto-reloading SMGs to rage-fueled hammers and riposting swords, making fights more tactical and distinct.

Zombie encounters are faster, deadlier, and full of surprises — some now spawn Rotworms or inflict debuffs when killed. New props, lootables, and harvestables bring more life to the world, while zones like the Ashwater Medical Center and Beckwood have been completely overhauled.

The new Safe Trade system lets players securely exchange items and cash, and the switch to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) enhances lighting, weather, and water for a more immersive world.
