Extraction shooters ZERO Sievert on Steam (October Update Preview)

ZERO Sievert Is Rewriting Its Enemy AI So Bandits Flank You as a Squad

The team behind ZERO Sievert, the top-down, Tarkov-style extraction shooter, posted an October update preview on Steam on October 7 built from more than 2,000 survey replies. Enemy AI is being rewritten from scratch so enemies move, flank, and push as squads. More guns and proper rabbit footstep audio are also planned. Two requests got a flat no: a collect-all button for ammo containers, and official co-op, which stays reserved for ZERO Sievert 2. No release date was given.

  1. Smarter squad AI or more loot: which would make you reinstall ZERO Sievert?
  2. Is refusing co-op in the first game fair when modders already built it?
  3. Should solo extraction games have AI that hunts you as hard as real players do?
