Shoothouse Scores Update
I know we've lost a lot of you caring about the Shoothouse Scoreboards because of how many fake scores and cheats had been used to set the top scores, so we are working on clearing them all out to show only the real top scores. As well as making it harder to cheat the system.
There is also a bug where only the top 4-8 scores are being shown on some Shoothouse Scoreboards and we are resolving this as well.
Thank you! We will work through everything one thing at a time! It's not always exciting...
We live!
We ain't dead yet!
Let's go!
Game Update Notes (26 JUL 2018)
New Weapon The RPG-7 V2 has been added to select maps; a devastating anti-personnel weapon with a large fragmentation radius. It is a single shot weapon and is automatically dropped once fired. The RPG-7 has a minimum safe arming distance of ten meters; the round will not detonate if it does not travel at least ten meters. Beware the back blast as it will injure, or even kill, those directly behind when fired.
Two new RPG-themed Steam achievements have been added: "I meant to do that!" (Kill an enemy with the RPG back blast) and "R-Three-G" (Get three kills with a single RPG blast). Stats related to the RPG are tracked and will be added to player profiles on the webpage soon after release.
It is available as an in-world pickup on selected maps only; it will never appear in the deploy menu. A DefaultGame.ini option, 'bAllowRPGPickup', allows server admins (on PC only) to disable the RPG if they so choose.
One or more RPGs can be found on the following maps:
PS4
Homestead
Uptown
Intercept
PC - BDX
Bridge EX
Intercept C4/EX
SpringStreet EX/VIP

We are proud to debut Uptown! After years of dedicated training in our "Downtown" training site, the team is ready to take their learned skills to the real battlefield. Extract the intel and escort the VIP to safety, or relax in the new Sky Bar and go shopping in the open air market. This update also includes face and voice customization for our PC version, as well as enemy weapons in the My Soldier viewer. We fixed many bugs the community has reported and corrected the new PS4 bugs as well. Read on to see the whole list.
