Dev Update
6 weeks of blood sweat and tears! Many new features and even more bug fixes. Exfil continues to evolve the battlefield and bring us closer and closer to Early access release.
Here are some of the notable additions in current past development cycle
Individual and Team loadouts
Players can now select from a variety of different weapons and see their team mates selection before the round start. This includes selecting custom attachments and throwables.
Weapons Phase #1!
Introduction of the HK416 series and its variant M27 serving as a Squad light machine gun as well as the MK17 series and it's variant the MK20 serving in a designated marksmen style setup. Huge thanks to our friends at Studio801 for the amazing effort and final poduct. Teams like your make this work easy!
Newly added Ironsights for all weapons
Audio
As part of our Early Access goals we have been eagerly waiting to get back to the audio of the game where we know we can move the dial leaps and bounds. We have moved forward with these efforts and have spent the time to craft an audio relevance and distance manager to emulate the actual distant battlefield noise while still maintaining our focus on optimization. Through some clever architecture we can now hear battle sounds ranging across the map but don't have to actually calculate the unseen players several km's away. This coupled with our 32 player servers has given a really nice boost to our soundscape as ranging battles can be heard ringing out in the distance. Look forward to more improvements in this area as we enter our next dev cycle including a overhaul to our boom sounds!
Thanks to the wonderful assets created by the geniuses over at Aftertouch Audio we will be able to rapidly increase the quality and fidelity of the Exfil environment.

The Range
As an ongoing WIP we have introduced a training range where operators can try out weapons, test their shooting skills or generally goof around and have fun. We will continue to build out this space as we gather feedback.
Pickup existing weapons from the armoury
Enjoy any of the many variety of activities!
AMD FSR 3 and Nvidia DLSS 3.5
We have integrated the latest from AMD and Nvidia in the frame generation and upscaling field. Early test results show improvements of 15-30% more frames (and some even higher). Also based on consumer feedback we have made FSR available to Nvidia users as apparently it works great on those cards too!
Be sure to carefully note the best settings for your video cards and give us all and any feedback in our discord!
All this and an additional 100+ bugs fixes and additional Quality of life improvements.
Reminder!
We will also be preparing to start our Founder's presales in the coming month and appreciate everyone's patience and support! Look forward to more news after the free weekend playtest.
