Active Matter Patch 0.4.0.62

The live Active Matter client on 4 September 2026 is 0.4.0.62. It is not a new continent. It is the week of Shelter, inventory, and raid-menu work that landed on top of 250 Shades of Liberty. If a clip from 27 August still shows hallway Replicators, Body Sleeve pockets, or red dots that slow ADS, the clip is the problem. This page is the raid-facing recap of 0.4.0.44, 0.4.0.50, 0.4.0.55, and 0.4.0.62. Full Agency bullets live on the official news posts. Use this with Shelter and Monolith, the weapons tier list, and raid types.

Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 storefronts still open 15 September 2026. There is no planned wipe. Harmonization and self-sacrifice remain the reset tools — see Steam and consoles and Harmonization.

0.4.0.62 — 4 September 2026

Red-dot sights no longer slow aiming. The PK-AV and every other collimator lost the ADS penalty. Optical scopes now pay a larger aiming-speed tax, and non-thermal magnified scopes cost more in the shop. Irons-for-speed is dead. Mid kits should run EXPS3 or a pistol red dot again. Bipod bullets no longer spawn below the crosshair.

Replicator and Refiner merged into a Workshop tab. Shelter tabs now read Missions, Monolith, Shop, Investigations, Workshop, Inventory, Profile. Fusion already lived on the Replicator; 0.4.0.62 just stopped those machines from occupying floor space. Replicator filters now split “Fusion available” and “Replication available.”

Pouches changed again. After Liberty’s typed-pocket pass, 0.4.0.62 made pouches expand overall inventory and add per-category volume bonuses (medical pouches hold more medkits, mag carriers hold more ammo). Body Sleeve pockets were removed. Each sleeve still grants its own volume bonuses. Base sleeve carry capacity dropped by 100; some suits got a +25 / +50 offset. Quick-access slots now reference an item instead of storing a copy: they bind to a selected inventory item, swap to the next identical one when used, and dim when none remain. Slot count no longer depends on the sleeve. You can unequip a carrier even if its contents overflow — extras go to a temporary inventory or drop, with the largest items kept. Loadouts and armor assume this live rule, not the 27 August pocket grid.

Raid list reworked. One list, three categories: Raids, Hired Ops, and Faction Battles. Isolated raids show a green subtype icon, Open raids a blue one. Unavailable-by-schedule raids collapse under “Temporarily Unavailable” with an hourglass and a countdown to the next rotation. The mission terminal is a square full-height map. Pickup trunks in Headquarters, vehicles in Downtown, and car trunks on Dalniy Island spawn more items. The pickup gained engine and fuel-tank access for repair and refuel. Downtown gained barriers that block non-playable floors and rooftops. Airport finally got the missing operative contracts that count toward cumulative tasks.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 / 9070 XT owners can install Adrenalin 26.9.1 to stop the crash. German voiceover landed for the voice assistant. Read system requirements before you blame the GPU for a missing Workshop tab.

0.4.0.55 — 2 September 2026

A new Monolith room and store furniture (shelf, table, wardrobe) landed in the Shelter. Item fusion moved to a dedicated Replicator slot so it no longer occupies the regular craft queue. The scout / recon drone turns and tilts faster. Standard magazines (MP5N, UMP, AK-103, and cousins) can spawn enriched. TGP-A suppressors appear more often with compatible guns. RPL-20 magazines are shop items. SOS markers show as an area until you accept the signal. Headquarters spawn no longer traps you inside a tank. Burned-out operatives cannot be hacked. Hired Ops stats no longer pollute raid K/D.

0.4.0.50 — 1 September 2026

Turned Soldiers always drop enriched loot. Headquarters lost one Turned Soldier threat near a contract point and gained two Hellhound threat locations so those contracts have valid targets. Turned Soldier zones now draw on the Missions Terminal map. Rare weapon specification documents yield about a quarter of the previous chronotrace amount. Salvaging an idea chronotrace returns 10% of original credit value; other traces return half of that. Multiple laser sights on one gun no longer stack hip-fire recoil reduction — only the highest bonus applies. Unavailable Open raids collapse to the bottom of the list so Isolated rows stay reachable. Revive prompts show the cost. Streamer Mode hides rescued players’ real nicknames.

0.4.0.44 — 28 August 2026

The first Liberty hotfix. Vehicle Transfer delivery points can no longer sit on the spawn. Fuel canisters shrank so they do not need a backpack. Pickup trucks left raids temporarily; an American off-roader replaced them because the pickup could not refuel. Cargo weight hits drones harder. Gravity anomalies correctly yank Flowerman armor plates. Rock of Solitude no longer demands an Open raid — one subcontract uses Airport instead of Scrapyard. EV-MG Replicator research no longer hides behind a bogus Harmonization Cycle 2 lock. Shop and Monolith tooltips name the required cycle. Chronotrace storage no longer appears on the raid-prep screen. Gigastructure join crashes were patched — pair that with the Gigastructure raid page if you still bounce at the elevator.

What to reread after you patch

1. Shelter and Monolith — Workshop tab, fusion slot, sleeve carry, quick-access binds.
2. Loadouts and armor — pouches are volume bonuses, not the Liberty pocket grid.
3. Weapons — red dots are free ADS; magnified glass is the tax.
4. Raid types — green Isolated, blue Open, Hired Ops and Faction Battles as sibling lists.
5. Downtown and Dalniy Island — trunks, barriers, Hellhounds at Headquarters.
6. Getting Started if you have not left the building since August.

Parent index: Updates Hub. Liberty’s continent drop is still 250 Shades of Liberty. Storefront timing is Steam and consoles. Bind controls again if quick-access slots feel empty — they now point at inventory instead of holding a clone.
