Raiders! Welcome to our German friends!
The time has come for a new RAID for you all to try out! More info below. Together with the new RAID we are activating some new weapons, raising the level cap to 15. And also, if that was not enough, we will add a new feature: Challenge cards!
These will drop in the end of the missions ( raise the chance by finding more dog tags ) Challenge cards can be suggested by all the players in the ready screen, and the Host can then before the mission start choose what card to play.
The next update will focus on fixes, performance and balancing. Maybe more content to, who knows :)
But, enough talking from us, here are the patch notes for 1.2, Enjoy!
This update to the RAID: World War 2 Beta includes the following changes and fixes:
NEW BETA FEATURES
- Added support for additional aspect ratios and resolutions ( other than 16:9 )
- A new RAID has been unlocked for the beta - assault a German depot and destroy their new tanks before they can be used against Allied forces in Tiger Trap!

Weapons

Challenge & Booster Cards
- A limited selection of Challenge and Booster Cards can now be earned as mission rewards
- Challenge Cards impose special rules or restrictions on a mission, in return for an increased XP reward if the mission is completed successfully
- Booster Cards give a bonus to all players for the duration of a mission, but do not increase the XP earned
- Challenge and Booster Cards can be assigned to a mission in the Ready screen (in multiplayer games, each player can suggest one of their cards to use, and the host can choose between them or start the mission without a card)
- Challenge and Booster Cards are consumed when used, whether the mission is completed or failed
