Hey everyone!We've got a long awaited update for you today with Update 20;🔶 New: Iron FortressIt's finally here! A new alternative environment for the Arctic Base.Iron Fortress, codename "D-Day" starts with a beach landing area, transistions to heavily fortified trenches and culminates in a heavily fortified fortress. From the rocky beach, to the heavy trenches, missile launch zones and concrete reinforcements, the Fortress offers a very brutalist and very Synthetik style, with heavy cover, large open areas and a lot of action. Some assets you might remember from the first game :)As the Iron

Better handling of corrupted (mod) depotfiles, ignores specific broken configs instead of aborting full import. Fixed reviving host player can lead to host being invulnerable until map change. Item swapping properly sets cooldown/charges etc on swap. Net-Shot flashing very brightly fixed. Cleaned up some outdated elements in armory.🔶 UI & Visuals Improved Extended FPS Counter.

Hey everyone!We were listening very close to your feedback and worked hard on a ton of fixes, QOL changes and improvements. U17 has a strong focus on Fixes, P2P and in-game progression. 🔶 Weapon Attachments V3Attachments V3 and Synergy items are a long way coming. While the previous attachments were well balanced and technically a good composition in a vacuum, attachments did overstep into items too much and strangely overlapped sometimes into item and ability effects, while often not having such direct effect on a weapon itself. So we wanted to make weapon upgrades more weapon based, and hav

Hey everyone! Update 16 has a strong focus on fixes and improving on the menu user experience, but comes with a good amount of gameplay refinements as-well, such as new items, better and more loot and improved upgrade progression, which we personally feel are very noticeable. We have heard your feedback about the base of operations and have greatly streamlined the experience to be more smooth, easier to understand, faster and more convenient, while keeping all the new content that Grand Operations brought.Streamlined Menu 🞙 We simplified the Menu UI and changed it to use a simple unified Tab-

TL;DR:This build addresses a major performance issue that's responsible for the performance degradation we can measure during longer gameplay sessions.--Unfortunately, the new/current version of Unity has a bug in the culling algorithm of its closed-source engine section. When used with the High Definition Render Pipeline, inactive lights are tracked by the rendering pipeline anyway. When these lights are later removed (typically during scene switches), it causes unhandled error spam in the rendering loop.The core issue is in the closed-source section, but we've implemented a workaround that c

Hey everyone! Today we want to give you a overview of what is to come. As you may have read, we are currently working on Grand Operation which is a really huge update and might need a bit more time, but it will be one of the biggest leaps we have taken as a studio. Keep in mind that all things are never set in stone and we always do what is best given the current situation / plans might change. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40305564/482ca1b574e868c25c1d69a3885915bcd8ae3e88.png Keynotes: Focus on out-game elements New Base of Operations Construct varied Buildings Unlock perks and features Interact with NP
