Dear Players,

We are pleased to announce the release of Update 1.0.3.0!

This major update introduces the first story campaign, “Prologue” reworks the automatic mission system, expands Auto-Battles with character abilities, and adds a large number of balance changes, fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.

MAJOR FEATURES:

I. “Prologue” Story Campaign

Consciousness returns together with pain. A crashed helicopter is lodged between the trees. Your memory ends with flashes of red light, and the only people left nearby are dead soldiers.

You find yourself in a strange forest. Will you be able to escape and find allies?

II. Mission Search Rework

The Survival mode has been removed. Missions can now be discovered by moving around and exploring the map.

• Standard Route — maps and enemies from regular story missions.

• Desert — maps and enemies from the LOCATOR event.

• Snowy Forest — maps and enemies from the NEW YEAR event.

• SEARCH — automatically moves the camera to a random available mission.

• Refresh — the first five map refreshes are free. After that, each route search requires a fixed payment.

After selecting a mission, you can choose one of two combat modes: "TURNBASE BATTLE" or "AutoBattle"

III. AUTOBATTLE Changes

Character abilities and several special perks are now available during Auto-Battles. Once an ability finishes charging, you can activate it manually.

• Rookie - 4 seconds of reload, 5 seconds of action increases the rate of fire by 3 times, but the accuracy drops below 25%.

• Elite - 15 seconds of cooldown, 15 seconds of action increase damage by 1.2 times, accelerate cooldown by 4 times, accuracy not lower than 90%.

• Sniper - 20 seconds to recharge, 2 seconds to aim and hits the pawn with the most health instantly. Then he starts reloading his weapon.

• Machinegunner - 25 seconds of reload, 3 seconds of action overwhelm all opponents, reduce the damage to the machine gunner by half. If a wedge occurs, the suppression stops. Shields ignore machine gun suppression.

• Medic - available upon the death of an allied pawn. Resurrects a pawn with 20% health. It takes 40 seconds to recharge. Only a pawn that has not had its limbs severed can be resurrected.

• Shield - available from the start, restores the shield's protection completely and concentrates fire exclusively on the shields (no matter where they are). Recharge 10, active for 5 seconds.

• Grenadier - HE shot, the enemy has ~ 10-20% hp left from the explosion, if the HP is lower initially, then the enemy immediately dies. Recharge time is 12 seconds.

• Scout - While active, all allied pawns gain +20% accuracy. The action is unlimited, but the character himself takes out binoculars and cannot fire.

• Infiltrator - recharges for 9 seconds, active for 4 seconds. The saboteur himself gets exactly 50% evasion and suppresses one random enemy pawn.

• Underbarrel shoot - (if the pawn has an under-barrel grenade launcher), 15 seconds of reload, deals 220 damage to the area of 5 cells.

IV. Player Progression System

Player progression is now displayed as a milestone-based progression track. Reaching certain levels unlocks access to additional menu sections and game features.

V. New Dynamic Main Menu

The main menu now displays your Pawns according to their positions in the currently selected formation.

VI. Lootboxes

All lootboxes now support automatic item selling based on rarity color. This allows players to automatically sell unwanted items while searching for a specific drop. A one-time guaranteed-drop system has also been added.

VII. Promo Codes

Promo codes can now be entered through the Settings menu. New codes will occasionally be shared with players who follow the game’s content and announcements. As an example, try entering the name of the development team.

VIII. Removed Content and Copyright Changes

Unfortunately, several Pawns have been removed from the obtainable content pool due to copyright concerns. This change is necessary for the future development of the game, and we believe it is better to address the issue now. Players who already own these Pawns will keep them. However, the ability to obtain them has been temporarily removed, along with their references in other parts of the game.

Removed Pawns: RUSYA, MAVKA, LIZA, KHAZAR, M4A1 MAI, REVY, NONNA

IX. New Content

The "Wraithhorn" are forest dwellers who worship a sacred tree. All forms of technology are forbidden within their society. Violating this prohibition may result in trial and execution. Members of the Wraithhorn have an extremely difficult time being near machinery and other advanced technology.

STORY CAMPAIGN:

I. Main Storyline

Embark on a journey with Sally, a rookie medic assigned to the U.S. 1st Mechanized Unit, "Gunslinger" squad. The team is on a routine reconnaissance patrol in their LAV-25, but things quickly go sideways. Following a major engagement, you must fight your way through enemy territory to reach friendly forces and survive.

II. Side Storylines (Three Distinct Mini-Stories)

"Delta": Lead five Delta Force operators in a critical operation to trace supply road traffic. Command has serious concerns about the presence of Soviet-era ballistic missile launchers in the sector. Uncover this secret before it's too late.

"Raiders": Join the "Raiders" night unit dispatched to support allied forces. Your mission is to breach the enemy's SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) position and neutralize the threat before dawn to ensure the safe launch of allied aircraft.

"Patrol": Complete several short, intense combat missions commanding regular base patrols who are simply performing their duty and returning from another dangerous workday.

III. Additional Objectives

• Challenge Missions: Face special Challenge Missions featuring enemies with significantly increased health and advanced weaponry. Only the best operators will withstand this pressure!

• Currency Missions: Complete additional missions to earn the special event currency. Use it to acquire exclusive items, gear, and camos available only during the “LOCATOR” event!

COMBAT SYSTEM OVERHAUL:

New turn-based combat system

Combat is now fully turn-based! You and your opponent will take turns acting sequentially. Plan, analyze, and conquer!

Class Actions: Special actions have been introduced, tied to a character's class and their equipped weapon. The role of every unit on the battlefield will now feel truly unique.

In-Mission Tasks: Each mission now features mini-tasks, the completion of which will impact your combat rating and overall mission success.

OTHER CHANGES:

• Unique Pawns Animations: All units (Pawns) have received a unique animation upon being acquired from a loot box or achieving MVP (Most Valuable Pawn) status at the end of a mission.

• Achievement System: A full-fledged Achievement System has been added to the game! You can now track your progress and, most importantly, receive valuable rewards for completing each achievement.

• New Weaponry: 45 new weapons have been introduced (unique variants and variations of different rarities) specifically for the "Desert Storm" operation. This arsenal will be available to acquire during the “LOCATOR” event.
