Hello soldiers!

Welcome to the release notes for Update 1.18: Operation: Overrun! We’ve officially been cleared for landing, although safe arrival is not guaranteed.

This update features a brand-new map, a new LTGM, and two new weapons.


Set in an abandoned airbase overtaken by nature, Forest offers a mix of CQB and long-range engagements, spanning from dense woodland and shallow riverbeds to crumbling runways and rusted hangars.

Forest is playable on:

Versus

• Push Security
  
• Push Insurgents
  
• Frontline
  
• Firefight East
  
• Firefight West
  
• Domination
  
• Skirmish
  
• Ambush

Co-op

• Hardcore Checkpoint Security
  
• Hardcore Checkpoint Insurgents
  
• Outpost
  
• Survival

Operation: Overrun introduces two new weapons to the conflict: the M250 for Security and the H21 for Insurgents!


Built for mobility and control, the M250 provides adaptable firepower in a compact, battle-ready platform.


A powerhouse of suppression, the H21 thrives in intense firefights with its rugged design and belt-fed efficiency.

• Forest Warden Top
  
• Forest Warden Bottom

Master the terrain with the Green Recon Weapon Skin Set for Security!

The Green Recon Weapon Skin can be equipped in the Loadout menu for the Security faction on the following weapons:

• Rifleman, Demolitions: M4A1
  
• Advisor: MK 18 CQBR
  
• Gunner: M250
  
• Breacher: MP7
  
• Marksman: MK 14 EBR
  
• Secondary: L106A1

Cut down the competition with the Bloodwood Weapon Skin Set!

The Bloodwood Weapon Skin can be equipped in the Loadout menu for the Insurgent faction on the following weapons:

• Rifleman, Demolitions: M16A2
  
• Advisor: AKS-74U
  
• Gunner: H21
  
• Breacher: TOZ-194
  
• Marksman: M99
  
• Secondary: Browning HP

With the release of the new M250 and H21 light machine guns, we want to give players a fun and focused environment to explore what these weapons offer. That's where First Blood comes in. It's a nod to the gritty 80’s action films that inspired the tone of Operation: Overrun.

This limited-time PvP mode strips things down to LMGs and sidearms only, throwing players into chaotic engagements that play to these weapons' strengths: suppressive fire and raw stopping power. We think it offers a great opportunity to get a feel for these new LMGs.

We’ve added brand new Overrun-themed cosmetic patches to both factions so you can bring the heat in style!

The following patches will be available at launch:

Security Patches

• Operation: Overrun
  
• Unstoppable
  
• Rotorhead
  
• Support is close
  
• Unseen
  
• Hard Landing

Insurgent Patches

• Rebel
  
• Hello
  
• Wolverine
  
• Tiger eye
  
• Molotov throw

In our ongoing mission to improve visibility, we determined that the lighting on Citadel was too dark, leading to frustrating moments where players couldn't always spot their opponents in the heat of battle. We've updated the lighting to make the map brighter overall while maintaining the mood and atmosphere that give Citadel its unique feel.

Defusal mode didn’t quite reach the popularity we’d hoped for, so we’re rotating it into LTGM for now. This change will help us make space to give our new permanent mode, Skirmish, the attention and visibility it deserves.

We’re also moving Free For All to the LTGM category, where its fast-paced, arcadey gameplay fits better alongside similar modes.
