Greetings! v1.4 is here!
Lots of new content and features in this update! The UI has a fresh design, several new pickups and features (C4, molotov, new pistol, pistol attachments), a new adrenaline-inducing gamemode, Subway map re-work (including new entrances for better map balance) and more!
Spec Ops: New gamemode!
MARSOC
- Ammo is low, you'll want to check for nearby ammo boxes
- Coordinate with your team to survive, equipped with your kitted out sidearms
- Survive the Volk attack
Volk
- You're faster, quieter and can see further than MARSOC, but have only a knife
- Looting ammo boxes yields a chance of finding a flash grenade
- Coordinate attacks with looted equipment to overwhelm and/or outsmart MARSOC before the time runs out

Featured Updates
- Added new Spec Ops gamemode
- New equipment: C4 and Clacker. More-deadly explosive than a frag grenade. Sticks to surfaces. Use the clacker to blow it up. Available for Volk Specialist class. C4 will be unable to blow up if near the Uplink (will show red light)
- New equipment: Molotov and Lighter. Good damage, area denial device. Fire spreads out from the blast zone. Available for Volk Specialist class
- Multiple attachments allowed on a gun. Previously, you were limited to one sight and one front attachment (foregrip, bipod, etc). Now, you can have as many front attachments as your gun can hold.
- Pistol Attachments! Red dot sight, suppressor, laser sight, and flashlight. Not all pistols have access to all attachments
- New SA80 gun model
- New pistol: Five-Seven. Volk pistol replacing the USP. Can equip all new attachments and has a 20-round magazine
- New UI. Main menu, tent, and tablet UI redone.
- Subway revamp:
- This map has been expanded to be more competitively balanced, opening up more access points that allow new strategies!
- Service tunnels below the main Subway lead to 3 possible new entry/exit points.
- A new Subway entrance has been opened on the street level alleyways for a 4th new entry/exit point.
- Balance has been adjusted for Volk spawn points accordingly to place Volk closer to objectives at round start.
