Playtest #29 - A Jolly Time!
This time around we have the beginnings of the weapon levelling and attachment unlock system in place, giving players a different selection of attachments per gun to try out from the get-go. The Gun Range has been updated to include weapon benches, so players can test all of the guns and attachments quickly and easily. The Obscurity Elimination game mode has also had some significant changes to scoring and round flow.
Many other updates and changes are included, such as new and reworked grenade launchers, a bunch of new headgear and further map updates.
Finally, for the holidays we have added Jolly Hats and some victory screen pizzazz!
From December 22nd at 12PM AET until January 5th at 12PM AET:
- Dedicated servers and P2P will be available 24/7.
- Dedicated server events, community discussions, polls and LFG channels can be found via the Community Discord.
Everyone is welcome to Request Access and participate in any or all playtests. Please also Wishlist the game if you enjoy it or want to keep up to date on its progress, as this helps us a lot.

Playtest #25 - The Perfect Combo!
There was a lot of background work this month in preparation for future updates, but there's still some decent things to take note of. Importantly, we have expanded on the displayed weapon stats to help you create the ideal setup. Attachments will now update stats and spray charts as you select them. There are now spray charts for hipfire, aimed and bipod as well. We have also included tooltips to help explain what each attachment does.
Other updates include UI click sounds, volume sliders, an ultraviolet torch and a decent balance pass on how fire spreads and is doused to make it a bit less troublesome.
From August 4th at 12PM AET until August 11th at 12PM AET:
- Official dedicated servers will be live on each night of the playtest from 7pm-10pm for NA, EU and OCE (Dedicated server local times can be viewed from within the main menu).
