The Nowheraki Insurgency is heating up! Fanatical Foreigners have entered the country and take part in the fight against the US-led coalition, but the primary victims of their attacks are the locals.
It is only fitting that local law enforcement and ordinary people take up arms to fight the outsiders. Enter the Nowheraki SWAT - a mix of Police Officers, Army Reservists and Citizen Militia, all united by their hatred of Crazed Jihadis and trust in the AK platform.
SWAT may sound like police, but these boys are ruthless warriors adapted to the realities of Middle East Urban Warfare. They bring light machineguns and grenade launchers to the table - and even Sappers! Only these handle explosives, but they might do it better than the Rangers did.
Oh, and did anyone mention Shields?
Shields can help with specific situation and they do block some incoming fire, but never consider them a panacea for poor tactics and weak coordination. They're a tool in the toolbox.
No Urban fight to the death would be complete without Molotov cocktails, so the SWAT people pack those too. Grilling bad guys can be fun, but beware of friendly ... fire.
Game and Tactics Improvements go further than a new unit. Mission Designers can now place restricted Deploy Slots in their levels - allowing only High Mobility or High Concealment units to access those spaces.
On the tactics front, Actions and waypoints that are tied to the same Go Code will automatically sync properly. So, troopers will wait for the flashbang thrown by their buddy to detonate, even if no door is involved. Synchronization just got easier!
Full Changelist below. Enjoy your new Unit and Maps, and let us know what you think!
Oh, there's also a new Workshop Collection for your enjoyment:
