Soldiers!
The March update has already landed on Warface servers. It features a reworked damage indicator and remastered "Blackgold" map, SED weapons and gear, April Fool's Day content and much more! Time to try out the novelties!
NEW CONTENT
NEW SED ITEMS
We are glad to present new equipment and weapon for the SED, which will allow you to diversify the class combat strategy and its habitual gameplay.
The new “Mercury” gear set will give fresh gaming experience to those who were not "hooked" by the original SED. The modules increase the robot’s speed of movement and reduce its armor. Thus, the SED will be able to assume the role of a more mobile but less enduring fighter. At the same time, the previous armor sets will remain unchanged.
"Mercury" head module
- Detects enemy's claymores
"Mercury" body module
- Armor points: 330.
- Decreases damage by 15 points per hit.
- Increases protection against explosives by 32%.
"Mercury" hands module
- Increases arm protection by 20%.
- Increases weapon select and deselect speed by 20%.
"Mercury" legs module
- Delay claymore activation by 3 sec.
- Increases leg protection by 20%.
- Increases sprint distance by 400%.
- Decreases slide distance by 40%.
- Decreases sprint speed by 15%.
- Decreases strafe speed by 45%.
"Mercury" SED Set
- Additional bonus to slide distance: 20%.
- Additional bonus to sprint speed: 10%.
- Additional bonus to strafe speed: 7%.
- Additional bonus to crouch speed: 10%.
- Decreases the sound of movement.
Apart from the equipment, the SED will also acquire a new weapon M134-GAU19b Hybrid. It stands out among other SED weapons thanks to an incredibly high rate of fire. In addition, the new weapon overheats and cools faster meaning that the arm is more suitable for shooting in deadly short bursts rather than for continuous fire.
REMASTERED "BLACKGOLD" MAP
Much time had passed since the location creation, so it required being brought to modern standards. While reworking the map, the developers paid attention not only to its appearance but to the gameplay as well. "Blackgold" is now more balanced and dynamic. Moreover, some "problem areas" have been eradicated, for example, unintended vulnerable spots.

The map became more “living” after lighting adjustment and replacement of objects and textures with more detailed and modern ones. At the same time, now players are more visible against the background. The location is now even more atmospheric thanks to new animations, and special visual and sound effects that guarantee a complete immersion into the gameplay!
Despite all the changes, the map has retained its familiar appearance and will certainly be of interest to both project veterans and beginners.
GORGON WEAPON SERIES
Some battles are really tough to win. To get through them with flying colours you will need the skill, a reliable team and, of course, excellent guns. "Gorgon" is a new weapon series and camos that will appear in one of our future Battle Passes. The new weapons look amazing! Bright flames, frame parts as if oozing poison, green snakes and an image of a real Gorgon will remind your enemies of the well-known myths... and the long-forgotten fear...
Kills made with the weapon series "Gorgon" will reward you with unique distinctions.
PARTICLE WEAPON SERIES
This series has a minimalistic design featuring a combination of simple camouflage motifs and small bright elements. The guns seem to be covered with inconspicuous snake scales, which makes them a desirable acquisition for those collectors who prefer simple elegance. All weapon specs are completely identical to those of the usual versions, so you will feel comfortable in any combat situation.
By eliminating the opposition with the "Particle" weapon series, you can get a unique badge, mark and stripe. And if you want to acquire even more spoils of war, earn expert stripes for any model!
JAWS WEAPON SERIES
The looks of this series fill the soul with murderous cold and send shivers down the spine. The camos are designed in calm cold blue tones. The color pattern resembles horror films about mysterious amd horrible inhabitants of the deep sea, which are incredibly quick dealing with their prey when they feel the scent of blood. Let your "Jaws" guns become as deadly for your enemies!
UNDERTAKER WEAPON SERIES
"Undertaker" is a daring skin series for five cool arms. Gloomy symbols and chilling patterns are its distinctive features. These guns will surely fit a brutal fighter who is confident in his skill and superiority on the battlefield.
"BEDLAM"
A themed location is the best place to test the April Fool’s Day items. The map "Bedlam" for the Team Deathmatch mode will make a perfect scene for full-fledged joke fights.
Have you already guessed which map has changed beyond all recognition? In the framework of the festivities the familiar "Oil Depot" will turn into a circus troupe camp. Be on the alert and keep your eyes open. Do not turn around when you hear jaws snapping: a deep sea predator is watching you!
Do not forget about your main task: be a team player and eliminate as many opponents as possible. Cool guns and our latest development: "Hype Zone" Spray will help you to successfully complete the mission.
"HYPE ZONE" SPRAY
The cutting edge arm "Hype Zone" Spray will become quite an impressive weapon in your fight against the enemy. It will not only wipe anyone who will dare stand in your way from the face of existence, but will also significantly tarnish the reputation of the defeated opponents. Join the fun and enjoy yourselves!
Kills made with the secondary weapon "Hype Zone" Spray will yield memorable distinctions.
"JESTER" SERIES
This juicy series only seems harmless. Its bright appearance conceals the real power! The model frames carry graffiti featuring in the center an image of a clown who is about to make a dangerous joke. Apart from the weapon series, there are camos designed in the same style.
"Jester" guns will be the best pick for immersing into the festive atmosphere of jokes and infinite fun. Do not forget about the achievements! By killing opponents with the themed weapons you will receive a unique distinction.
CONTENT CHANGES
REWORKED DAMAGE INDICATOR
The damage indicator ("cross") is one of the oldest interface elements. It is extremely important for every fighter at every game stage. At the same time, the previous version of the “cross” often confused users and did not communicate the expected information during the gaming process. We decided to fix it by reworking its mechanics and making them more intuitive.
First, let's look at the mechanics of the old indicator version.
- It displayed only the damage done to the enemy's health and neglected the damage dealt to the armor;
- Each hit had its own damage indicator which depended on certain factors (the state of armor when the shot was performed, defense modifier, the impacted part of the body), but did not depend on the enemy's health and previous hits.
- The size of the displayed "cross" directly depended on the damage dealt to the enemy's health.
This fact gave rise to such questions as “Why does the indicator never change its size?”, “Why does the same weapon cause different damage in different combat situations?”, and others. As a result, we decided to make the damage indicator more understandable and logical.
New mechanics are much simpler and clearer.
- Now the ''cross'' sports both indicators: damage dealt to the enemy's health as well as to the armor.
- The size of the indicator now depends on the current state of the enemy in a gun battle.
- The more you hit the enemy, the more damage you deal him; therefore, the size of the displayed “cross” grows. In other words, the weaker the enemy is, the larger the indicator will become with every hit.
- The full damage indicator means the death of the enemy.
Thus, the new system provides more understandable data about your shooting efficiency, the state of the enemy and your chances of winning the battle.
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR A SET OF PVP MAPS
The game now features 24 new achievements at once! You can get them in PvP battles on 4 classic maps - 6 achievements for each map: 3 marks (win 10/25/50 matches) and 3 badges (take the 1st place 25/50/100 times).
