Space Force Update

Hello everyone, this is the Ironsight team.

Season 8 : Space Force will be launching with the March 23rd update.

“As the entire world is strengthening it’s space capabilities and power under the pretense of protecting their space facilities, Man&Tech start work on their Space Defense-2100 project and both NAF and EDEN begin recruiting space defense PMC’s. A new age of information warfare, satellite destruction, space facility protection, space exploration, space resource development and protection is upon us.”

The Season 8 Battle Pass contains 100 tiers full of cutting-edge equipment of the future. With two new weapons in the form of the RM277 and Stiletto Knife, many new cosmetics items, emotes, unique weapon skins (including one of the required materials for the new Fury AUG collection weapon), and newly introduced drone skins can also be obtained through the Battle Pass this season.

Search and Destroy Hardcore will truly test your skills, as well as your trigger discipline! Using the base Search and Destroy ruleset, many new rules have been added in order to create a truly unique experience. It’s impossible to get yourself back up once you’ve been knocked down so get a teammate to revive you before you bleed out! In accordance with the more unforgiving rules, parties of up to 5 are now allowed, but be careful because with friendly fire now enabled there’s no way of knowing when and where an accident might occur.

The newest skill, Ammo Supply, will help keep you in the action and prevent you from getting caught out without any ammunition.
