🧭 Patch Notes (Now Live on Main Branch)

Changes in the last year!

Happy demo week! Note that during this time the game doesn't use Steam for networking, so that we can have compatibility with the main game and Steam. After the demo period is over, the game will be switched back to Steam only. You don't have to create any new accounts for this.

We have put together for the community a nice graphic covering most of the changes in the past year just to show how far Exfil has come with your support!

Steam post image Additional Content We are happy as well to release our community content pack to all owners of EXFIL. This community pack is small for now, just 3 new skins but we expect it to grow over time as do more and more work with the community. Special thanks to GeneralLee and Purgepapa for the skins!

Known Issues

  • The Steam server browser won't show any results for Exfil during the demo period, since Steam is not used for networking as previously mentioned.

  • T-Pose caused by missing animations when holding some utilities

  • Stubborn scope Optic material issue on 3x. Swap weapons to reset

  • Sometimes heli is spawning in trees on new map! (need to reset match)

Play EXFIL for free now through Dec 31st.

No limits. No barriers. Just pure tactics and precision!
