Highlights:
New Mission: Streets
Streets is the first urban mission included in PunjiVR and features three main buildings (with interiors), a courtyard, and an underground tunnel system. Eliminate all of the enemies in the area to win!
New Mission & Gamemode: Combat Base
Because so many of you enjoy the Wave Defense gamemode on the mission Paddies, I took the core idea of it and expanded it into an entirely new mode: Siege. Enemies charge your position and it's your job to repel their attacks! For each wave you survive, you earn a token, which you can spend on upgrades like forifications, new weapons, AI reinforcements, fire support, and more. How long can you hold them off?
Custom & Preset Loadouts
You now have the ability to bring whatever loadout you want into battle!

- Loose round stacks have been added for weapons without magazines (mosins & shotguns). This allows for easier weapon storage and reloading.
