A new and exciting Mojave Conquest map, a Revolver sidearm, dragging dead teammates (and opponents), team balancing tweaks, and more! Introducing, this month’s new update for Forefront!
Find out more details in our Discord and read the full changelog below!
New Map | Mojave Conquest!
Deep within O.R.E. territory, the Coalition forces attack one of the original production and refinement plants of red orpiment, which has since been retrofitted into an ICBM development program. The Coalition seeks to dismantle O.R.E.'s ICBM development program before it threatens the Coalition’s existence upon its completion.
We can’t wait for players to tackle this fresh new Conquest map situated in the driest desert in North America. Let us know what you think!
New Weapon | Meet the Revolver!
A new sidearm makes its debut in Forefront as we introduce our players to the Marshal-6, a revolver with six bullets in the chamber! Empty it, load it, spin it, flick it shut, and shoot to kill. There are plenty of attachments to unlock of the gun, including a “Speedloader” attachment that allows the player to reload the revolver with all six bullets in one go. The Marshal-6 is highly interactive and is there at your hip to become a trusty partner, primed and ready for any duel.
Drag Your Teammates (or your Opponents) | A New Feature
The most popular community request makes it into the game. From now on, you can drag perished players away, whether it’s to safely revive them, or to keep your enemies from reviving their fallen teammates. To drag a dead player, simply grab them anywhere and pull them to safety (or peril).
As a team we think it’s incredibly fun, we can’t wait to see what you guys think!
Even More PCVR Enhancements Have Arrived!
The PCVR version of Forefront has received quite the facelift since we first released in Early Access. Today, even more additions to those enhancements have arrived. From moving trees, to environmental particles on various maps.
Oh, and yes, the PSVR2 version is still in the works and will have some of the PCVR enhancements as well!
As always, let us know what you think about the game, and the update in our Discord. We’re always looking forward to your feedback.
Cheers, and see you in the game!
