Dear Players,
We are thrilled to announce the release of our first major thematic update – 1.0.2.0, which introduces the massive “LOCATOR” event and completely overhauls core combat mechanics!
STORY CAMPAIGN:
I. Main Storyline
Embark on a journey with Sally, a rookie medic assigned to the U.S. 1st Mechanized Unit, "Gunslinger" squad. The team is on a routine reconnaissance patrol in their LAV-25, but things quickly go sideways. Following a major engagement, you must fight your way through enemy territory to reach friendly forces and survive.
II. Side Storylines (Three Distinct Mini-Stories)
"Delta": Lead five Delta Force operators in a critical operation to trace supply road traffic. Command has serious concerns about the presence of Soviet-era ballistic missile launchers in the sector. Uncover this secret before it's too late.
"Raiders": Join the "Raiders" night unit dispatched to support allied forces. Your mission is to breach the enemy's SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) position and neutralize the threat before dawn to ensure the safe launch of allied aircraft.
"Patrol": Complete several short, intense combat missions commanding regular base patrols who are simply performing their duty and returning from another dangerous workday.
III. Additional Objectives
Challenge Missions: Face special Challenge Missions featuring enemies with significantly increased health and advanced weaponry. Only the best operators will withstand this pressure!
Currency Missions: Complete additional missions to earn the special event currency. Use it to acquire exclusive items, gear, and camos available only during the “LOCATOR” event!
COMBAT SYSTEM OVERHAUL:
New turn-based combat system
Combat is now fully turn-based! You and your opponent will take turns acting sequentially. Plan, analyze, and conquer!
Class Actions: Special actions have been introduced, tied to a character's class and their equipped weapon. The role of every unit on the battlefield will now feel truly unique.
In-Mission Tasks: Each mission now features mini-tasks, the completion of which will impact your combat rating and overall mission success.
OTHER CHANGES:
Unique Pawns Animations: All units (Pawns) have received a unique animation upon being acquired from a loot box or achieving MVP (Most Valuable Pawn) status at the end of a mission.
Achievement System: A full-fledged Achievement System has been added to the game! You can now track your progress and, most importantly, receive valuable rewards for completing each achievement.
New Weaponry: 45 new weapons have been introduced (unique variants and variations of different rarities) specifically for the "Desert Storm" operation. This arsenal will be available to acquire during the “LOCATOR” event.
New Pawns: A range of new units will be added—pawns that are available outside of just the story campaign. Utilize their unique skills to shift the balance of power in your battles!
We hope you enjoy the update! Thank you for staying with us!
