Today we’re excited to announce the official launch of Modding Tools for ZERO Sievert.
What does this mean for hunters? Modders can now create and share thrilling new mods that introduce new items, quests, weapons, NPCs, objects, scripts, sounds, languages, traders, particles, events, factions, and much more.
The Steam Workshop Train has left the station and will continue to grow and expand with thrilling new mods, so keep an eye out for any favourites!

We can't wait to see what modding brings to Zakov and as always, thank you to everyone who has been helping report issues so we can improve ZERO Sievert!
P.S - If you previously used unofficial mods in ZERO Sievert you may encounter file conflicts when booting the game after 1.1.12. If this happens we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the game to fix it.
