We are excited to launch patch 1.17, now with 20% more content FREE!!!
That's right with this update we're launch 2 new maps, each with their own unique game mode.
Attic Attack
You'll be hitting the ceiling in no time with these enemy planes! Dodge and maneuver through this cluttered antique-filled attic. Once you get the barrel rolls and firing down, it should be plain sailing from there!
Sandbox Showdown
Don't keep your head in the sand or your soldier will be saying good-bye in this sandbox showdown! Stay on the lookout, with each team having their own squad of vehicles, it becomes easier to travel across the map at faster speeds! So grab your ride or die and plan some sneak attacks!
Patch 1.17 is more than just a pretty new face, we've made all kinds of additions and improvements to the game!
New Dynamic Server System system built on But that's not all! This update also rolls out our new server the mighty Amazon server backbone. We have spent quite a bit of time developing this new dynamic server system to ensure that is both stable and fast.
New Tutorial Level As an added bonus we created a tutorial level to help new players get their bearings before taking the fight online.
So much more! In addition to all these awesome new features we have been hard at work crushing more bugs than a rampaging anteater! Way to many to list in this already long news post!
