Time to Get Sticky! Our Mod Friday Event is Back!
Hello Mercenaries,
We're back for another round of Mod Friday events! This time, things are gonna get real messy. So pull up those boots and get ready to get sticky!
You're going to LEAP into a grenade-filled battle zone, and not just any nades we're talking about sticky grades all shoved neatly into a Flak Canon. Fear not, because we wouldn't want to give you mercenaries some kind of protection. You'll also be equipped with a Support Shield and Recharge Station.
Your weapon of choice - you get no choice this is it and it's filled with grenades.
The ammo we're using in the mod... It's deadly and it sticks when contact is made. You're not getting out of this one.
Recharge your health after being brutally attacked by sticky grenades.
Your only support in the game. And once it's gone you better hope that you're fast enough to clobber your enemy before they offload on you.
Special Instructions
Friday (Jan 27) event will run from 4pm EST until 5pm EST
Join the server “Devs + Community Jam” to LEAP in!
Launch your nades, and hide!
Everyone is welcome to try this mod out, be sure to HAVE FUN!
Prizes for Joining
A 2x Contract Bonus
For our last few matches and anyone who participated in our trailer recording session, your rewards will be delivered next week. Sorry for any delays on that end!

LEAP into the New Year with a New Update
Hello Mercenaries,
We're kicking off the New Year with a shiny update! Through our community events, playtests and review of feedback from all angles, we've been hard at work to implement changes that we believe will be most impactful. Many issues are addressed in today's rollout.
The main focus of today's update is on quality-of-life improvements, improved visuals, and performance. We've broken it down into a few categories to make it easier to digest.
Armory Makeover
The number of items players can add to their Armory can be a little overwhelming, so we've given it a makeover to make things a bit smoother and easier to navigate.
Player Taunts
Graffiti/Sprays
Banners
Now that we have the big picture, we can discuss improvements to performance, balance, UI, and more. Because of amazing community members like yourself, LEAP is constantly evolving and will be in a great position for launch! We will be sharing a lot more about LEAP in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. Let's take a look at what's changed in the last few months.

LEAP into our Wild Warfare Wednesday Event!
Dear Mercenaries,
We appreciate your patience as we prepare this week's instructions. As we LEAP into battle during our weekly skirmishes, we look forward to continuing to challenge you all! This will be our last match in November, can you believe it? The new year has a lot in store for us; we've teased it for a while, but we can't wait to share it with you!
Please keep in mind that LEAP is currently participating in the Steam-wide Autumn Sale, and that the game is in Early Access; there are a lot of changes to come before it launches. We view EA as almost like a kickstarter, where we're working closely with our community in order to bring features and changes to the full official game.
Now on to the event:
