Oasis Rush + New Gadget & More Update | v2.0.77

We’re back with another update, soldiers! Oasis Rush, new map variants, a stim gun for medics, customizable scope and sight colors, enhanced terrain visuals for PCVR, and much more!

Find out more details in our Discord and read the full changelog below!

New Rush Field Test Map | Oasis Rush

While we’re still working and tinkering away on a fresh new map, our sandy desert map Oasis is getting its Rush makeover. Instead of conquering the dunes, you’ll either be pushing the enemy back and banning them from ever setting foot on that sand again, or you’ll stand your ground and refuse to give in to the enemy.

Medic Stim Gun | Juice Up Your Teammates!

It was about time! Medic players have been asking for a new toy, and today, we deliver. With the brand-new Stim Gun gadget, you give your teammates (or yourself) both a speed boost, and 50HP instantly, up to a max of 125HP, twenty-five more than the normal maximum amount. It also doesn’t replace the defibrillators, so you’ll have to make the choice if you want this, or the med kits.

Say Hello to Scope Color Configuration!

Scope color configuration was a popular community suggestion that is now available in the game’s comfort settings. Whether you want your sights and scopes to look a bit different or cooler, or you need this feature for accessibility reasons, you can customize both regular sights and scopes separately to your heart’s content!

New Map Variants Join The Battle

The sun has set on both APC Attack Paradise (Conquest) and Apache Attack Iceland, but a new dawn has arrived with APC Thunder on Siberia (Conquest), bringing the APC to the cold snowy mountains, and Iron Scout on Clearwater where Little Birds, AA tanks, and regular tanks will battle it out over Red Orpiment.

PCVR Enhancement | Levelling Up the Terrain

The terrain in Forefront has never looked better. You can now enable (or disable) the better looking terrain in the graphics settings on PC. Improved FX, like explosions for instance, have also been added to the game. This was another round of PCVR improvements, and we’re not done just yet.

We’ve taken a bit of time to let the team rest up after our very ambitious Early Access period, so we’re still working on putting our new roadmap together. More on that soon!

As always, let us know what you think about the game, and the update in our Discord. We’re always looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers, and see you in the game! -TF
