The 6th update is here with the brand new Survival Game Mode, two new maps and the long-awaited M249 light machine gun!
We’ve also added stats to every mission’s briefing screen in the lobby – you can now keep track of your personal records.
Version 1.4.493 changelog:
NEW GAME MODE AND MAPS
The new Survival game mode revolves around the ‘Defense’ theme.
Repel the attacks and survive until extraction, or… stay, and give ‘em hell for as long as you can!
On ‘Critical Mass’, your task is to defend a stationary nuclear bomb while waves after waves of Tlalokii soldiers try to sabotage your mission – get your CQB skills ready!
On ‘The VIP’, your objective is to defend a very important person: Bob. He’ll fight with you, but remember: keeping him (and yourself) alive is key – make sure to check every door and window, Tlalokii soldiers are everywhere!
IMPORTANT: bringing your own loadout to these locations is not possible – you’ll start with a single pistol instead. Don’t worry though, you’ll receive a well-deserved supply crate containing more effective, more badass weapons and attachments after each wave. Make sure to collect them before the next wave starts!
ATTENTION: this game mode is hard. While there is no rank requirement to unlock it, we recommend reaching at least Rank 30 before jumping in. Or…
Grab your friends (or strangers) and help each other in Co-op, we guarantee it’s gonna be a blast!
WEAPONS, ATTACHMENTS AND SKINS
The M249 is finally making an appearance – this deservedly famous light machine gun really packs a punch!
It unlocks at Rank 20 (or after getting it from a supply crate in the new Survival Mode) and can be found in the ‘assault rifle’ category.
To celebrate the new game mode, we added two new weapon skins – one for the Famas, and one for the Mx4 Storm. Both skins can be unlocked in the new Survival Mode.
In addition, the SG552 also received a new skin, and we added a new attachment as well: the HAMR Scope.
