We have also opened up full Workshop integration to support custom weapon skins, maps, audio packs, and game theaters. This will greatly enhance the community's ability to create a tailor made experience.
“Since Insurgency was originally a mod itself, allowing the community to create custom content for the game is synonymous with our team’s culture. We are excited to see what our community is able to create, and to be able to utilize such a powerful tool as Workshop to ensure that quality content will be easily recognized and accessed by players,” said Jeremy Blum, founder and game director at NWI.
Other changes include:
- Added end-game map vote so players get to pick which map will be next on the rotation.
- Players can now change bot difficulty in Cooperative through voting.
- Added hipfire sway along with more realistic free aim recoil handling.
- Removed C4, RPGs and AT4s from Ambush and Infiltrate.
- Infiltrate is now reinforcement based.

- Strike now has only 2 potential cache locations instead of 3.
