This update will be live on Wednesday December 3rd @ 11am PST!

Fireteam in 10.1
The experience the community will be getting in v10.1 is our first early offering of the potential that Fireteam holds—a mini “early access,” if you will. We will engage the community in the long-term development of this mode, but to accomplish our vision, we need your financial support. Given this, we will launch this mode with two paid tiers, in addition to the free one. All owners of Squad will get free missions upon release that we will add to with future updates, so that they can experience what Fireteam is all about, while the rest of the missions will be released as content inside the Supporter / Founders Pack. This approach will enable everyone to contribute feedback and help guide its development, while also providing us with the necessary support to make the investments we want to make.
We will retire the Founders Pack within 6 months of its release. Players will still be able to purchase the missions after this, but without the exclusive content.
