The first free DLC for The Farm 51’s Chernobylite is now live, adding several new foes and a new side quest type. The enemies in question include the Feral Chernohost who is extremely fast and the Overgrown Duster, which attacks from a distance along with being able to disappear. Check them out below along with the Ancient Shadow.
The side quest is Monster Hunt, which requires killing one of the three new enemies. They can appear in any level, though the quest won’t be as common as food drops. Other changes include a redesign for The Black Stalker who will now actively hunt the player and scales his strength based on the storm. But if defeated, he won’t appear again in the same day.
Various bug fixes have also been made – check them out in the patch notes below for more details. Chernobylite is currently available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions coming later. Check out our official review for the game here.
UPDARE NOTES:
General:
- Sometimes the loot screen was visible for too long. We fixed that.
- Items brought by your companions when the inventory is full will no longer disappear, but will be placed on the ground instead.
- We have corrected the wrong names of some containers.
- An indicator might occasionally not show up on some containers, when the player was in sprinting mode. We fixed that.
- The lockpick icon would sometimes not display correctly. This has been fixed.
- When giving away meals, the companion status would sometimes not display correctly. We fixed it.
- The Black Stalker will now be highlighted by the PDA if we have the appropriate bonus.
- Fixed a very rare bug where one of the crystals on the fractal timeline would not change its colour, making it very difficult to return to reality.
- The poison that we could use to poison Kozlov would not disappear from the inventory. We fixed it.
- Meeting with Tarakan: We fixed the blocker that was triggered by very fast skipping through dialogues.
- Meeting with Tarakan: We fixed a blocker that was triggered by running in and out of the apartment without interacting with Tarakan.
- Meeting with Tarakan: Soldiers should no longer get lost in front of the Tarakan’s block.
- Voice in the woods: We fixed a bug that was blocking the interaction with the food crate when loading save at a very specific moment.

- Hermit: We corrected collisions to make it impossible to miss the key elements of the quest.
- Chain Reaction: We removed unnecessary collisions that were blocking the player.
