Highlighting Competitive Insurgency
Are you an Insurgency player that's looking for a little more competition? Well the folks at the gym may have you covered. They have been running a competitive community and are looking for more players to fill their ranks.
The Insurgency Gym is a competitive community, designed to welcome new players and grow the competitive scene while offering a place for veterans of the game to hone their skills and hangout with other players which has been running for half a year now!
Along with our daily competitive PUGs (Pick Up Games) we are bringing back PUG events to encourage the competitive growth of the community and provide a fun place for new players to learn about the game. The PUG events will mainly be taking place on Saturday and we'll keep you up-to-date with announcements if anything changes so make sure you join our steam group.
All players welcome! Our first and biggest rule is Don’t Be A Dick, and our only real requirements are a mic and the willingness to use it.
The Discord link is right below, so come check it out to see what the server looks like and what you can expect.

Insurgency: Sandstorm is the sequel to multi-million selling Insurgency by developers New World Interactive.
Designed to retain what made Insurgency great, and build upon it, the FPS epic comes enhanced and expanded as a new game in Insurgency: Sandstorm, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will come with the addition of a host of new modes and content to be revealed later, including a new Story Mode. This story is playable cooperatively as a squad of up to four players (two player split-screen) or alone, and is explored in the E3 Trailer.
In Insurgency: Sandstorm’s Story Mode, players will travel as a party cut off from support across a war-torn landscape on a new mission that is deeply personal.
The trailer is narrated by one of the main characters in the game, a U.S. Army veteran turned volunteer soldier, who finds himself on an unexpected journey alongside a female fighter native to the region and a few other characters yet to be introduced. Their objectives have aligned, and their vision of the war blurred as it touches each of them in different but converging ways.
Like Insurgency, the gameplay of Sandstorm rewards teamwork and objective-play over personal success. Players will see new features such as drivable light vehicles, character customization, unlockable cosmetic items, fire support requests, ranked matchmaking, and more.
Insurgency: Sandstorm will release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
