We’re happy to say that Update 1.4 (our 14th major update since launch) is now live. This update, of course, brings you more free content from AMG/Tripwire, but also the first community-made content with this update - and setting up for more.
We’ll talk about our new content and DLC in a moment, but first let’s focus on the community-made content. We’ve always tried to support that community as much as possible - and this time, we’re turning that into cash for them, setting up new rev-share deals.
The first of these that you will see is the new “Sgt. Joe’s Support Bundle” cosmetic DLC. This is based off a whole pile of the great cosmetic gear created by the team behind the Gameplay Overhaul Mutator. We’ve brought that into the game, added some extra touches - and are sharing all the revenue generated with Sgt Joe and the team. The DLC contains almost 40 different cosmetic items and is available now, with the release of Update 1.4, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1042390/Rising_Storm_2_Vietnam__Sgt_Joes_Support_Bundle_DLC.
The second community-built piece you will see is a new button on the Vietnam main menu screen, for the Green Army Men - “Coming Soon”! After the success of the Christmas event, we wanted to make the GAM mod much more easily available to everyone who plays RS2: Vietnam and have worked with the GAM team to turn it into a DLC add-on for Vietnam, all in one place, launchable from within the main game and accessible to everyone. Once it is released, all owners of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam will be able to play GAM for free, using the base Rifleman class. And if, like us, you want to help support the Green Army Men developers (who are a mod team, building all of this in their spare time) you will be able to go and buy the Green Army Men Upgrade, which unlocks the other classes for you. All revenue from that Upgrade is shared with the Green Army Men team to support their efforts!

There’s also a new cosmetic DLC pack from us as well - the Specialist Pack, for all those of you who want to run around the jungle looking like you’re truly a hardcore special forces operator. It is available with the release of Update 1.4 and you can find the details here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1074650/Rising_Storm_2_Vietnam__Specialist_Pack_Cosmetic_DLC
