This update is packed with new content and major improvements — including new weapons, new skins, new soldier items, tons of UI upgrades, and an Early Access reward for all players!
NEW WEAPONS
A weapon poll was hosted on the Official Discord, with the top 3 winners being added to the game! Make sure to join the Discord to cast your vote for future game content.
ASh-12
Assault rifle with high damage output, chambered for the powerful 12.7×55mm round
Gyrojet
Unique pistol that fires rocket-propelled rounds that gain speed and power the farther they travel
XR-SMG
Tactical SMG with railgun technology that delivers high-impact firepower
NEW AIM MECHANICS
Aiming your weapon (default right-click) now zooms in instead of zooming out your view. When aiming, your view focuses more closely on your target.
This change improves balance by reducing peripheral vision while enhancing long-range precision — a more realistic feel for aiming!
If you prefer the old aiming style, toggle the new Zoom In When Aiming setting
NEW PERKS & SUPPORT
New Perks and Support are available from the Tactical Crate:
| Ninja Player Perk | Reduced slide cooldown and faster climb speed |
|---|---|---|
| Headstrong Player Perk | Reduced damage from headshots |
| Brawler Weapon Perk | Increased melee damage |
| Shrapnel Weapon Perk | Increased explosive damage |
| M242 Bushmaster Turret | High-damage mounted turret |
