Hello Operators,
It’s been nearly four months since our last major update, and the team has been working tirelessly to bring you our most ambitious content drop yet! We are incredibly grateful for your patience and are so excited to finally share what we’ve been building.
A New Look for Your Arsenal
A massive shout-out to our weapons designer, Puddle_NL, who joined the project to spruce things up. Beyond modeling all of our new weapons, Puddle_NL has meticulously refined weapon code, improved overall functionality, and streamlined networking for a smoother tactical experience.
Speaking of the armory, we are bolstering your firepower! This update introduces three new LMGs and a brand-new SMG to the base game, giving you even more ways to customize your loadout for any engagement. Be mindful of weapon jams.

Community & Media This update wouldn't have reached the finish line this quickly without our incredible Discord playtesters group, who jumped in to help speed up development every step of the way.
Additionally, mark your calendars! Our first-ever Tactical Assault VR short film is officially in the works. Directed by DemoAkuro and featuring our talented in-game voice actors, it is set to premiere on December 25th, 2025.
