Our New Year's update comes to a close with a newly added Mission Sandbox mode and 2 new sniper rifles!

Mission Sandbox Mode:

This is the first iteration of Mission Sandbox mode. Made with role-players and content creators in mind. Start any mission with an empty slate. No Enemies, only mission objectives. Spawn Zone selection made available in every map for players who'd like to join the enemy team. HVTs are considered objectives. Switching to Spawn Zone 2 allows you to fight alongside HVTs against Spawn Zone 1 players. Everyone has unlimited lives! It's Sandbox after all.

Mission Sandbox mode is great for mil-sims and content creators who want to role-play without being harassed by Enemy Ai. Or test some 3 v 3 PvP with mission-based objectives. 4 v 4 in PCVR lobbies.

Note: Sandbox Mission mode is available ONLY in singleplayer and PRIVATE multiplayer COOP rooms. This mode is NOT available in public coop rooms.

New FREE SNIPER RIFLES (by Puddle_NL):

Introducing the R93T bolt-action sniper rifle and VSS full-auto rifle.

Note: Due to having full-auto capability, the VSS rifle DOES NOT have the "Hold Breathe" stabilization.

Zero your long range scopes with newly added scope mechanics. Practice your Sandbox long range shooting over 1000m+; you're going to need it for our next major update...

What's Next?

A lot! We're working hard and still on track to release Operation: Dahlia's Convention Center by the end of Q1/Start of Q2 of 2026.

Stay tuned and until then, enjoy!
