Officially released on June 12th, 2023.


Initial Release

New Content

  • No.2B Hawthorne
    • Class: Rifle
    • Faction: Warden
    • Initially a field-modified Loughcaster, the Hawthorne sports a sawed-off barrel and a much lower profile than its ancestor. While sacrificing accuracy, its lightweight frame opens up the Hawthorne to a much higher degree of flexibility in battle and can be carried alongside a heavier primary firearm.
  • Catena rt.IV Auto-Rifle
    • Class: Rifle
    • Faction: Colonial
    • An auto-firing rifle that played a pivotal role in maintaining Mesean interests on the Katoman continent. While not quite as rapid-firing as its assault rifle brethren, many soldiers speak fondly of the Catena as a sturdy, easy-to-use, and reliable firearm. It doesn’t boast high points in any particular area but performs admirably as a general-purpose rifle.
  • T13 “Deioneus” Rocket Battery
    • Class: Tankette
    • Faction: Colonial
  • (Initially intended to provide a mobile platform for cumbersome field weapons, the T13 “Deioneus” Rocket Battery is a lightweight tankette fitted with a nine-barrelled rocket artillery. This unique battery is configured for incendiary rockets to be launched at range while maintaining high manoeuvrability between deployments.
  • King Jester - Mk. I-1
    • Class: Scout Tank
    • Faction: Warden
    • Originally designed as a mock-up for more sophisticated rocket platforms, the Jester gets its designation from the response to reckless early prototypes that were bolted onto stripped down King Spires. This unusual vehicle can fire specialized rockets over long distances. Its light frame makes it easy to reposition, but vulnerable to sabotage.

West Coast Redesign

  • Fisherman's Row and Oarbreaker have temporarily been disabled.
  • Westgate and Farranac Coast have been moved north-west into Fisherman's Row and Oarbreaker's old locations.
  • Two new maps have been added to fill in Westgate and Farranac Coast's old locations.
    • King's Cage
      • A split river region that once housed a prison for Caoiva’s greatest hero. His shackled march from the Heartlands of Caoiva is the stuff of legends. It was his tenacity in the face of ridicule and imminent death that eventually won over his captors, and that tenacity extends down to the very soil of the region. From the cascading cliffs of The Manacle to ever-blooming Bloodfields, King’s Cage will forever represent a turning point in Caoiva’s history and independence.
    • Sableport
      • Once a checkpoint along the Bulwark in the west, Sableport was later taken over as a base of operations by Jon Barrony. During a period of peace following one of Barrony’s several victories, his constituents settled inside the walls of the base, transforming it into a bustling town. Much of the strategic importance of Sableport lies in its dense woods south of the Bulwark, and the port town of Light’s End.

      • For example in the first note for the T3 “Xiphos”, O’brien V.110, and O’brien V. 121, they have gone from having 1 inventory slot to having a 7.92mm ammo slot with a capacity of 30 magazines.
