New Map: Forest

Set in an abandoned airbase overtaken by nature, Forest delivers intense CQB and long-range encounters across woodland, riverbeds, runways, and hangars.

Available in Versus modes:
Push Security, Push Insurgents, Frontline, Firefight East, Firefight West, Domination, Skirmish, Ambush

Available in Co-op modes:
Checkpoint Security, Checkpoint Insurgents, Hardcore Checkpoint (both sides), Outpost, Survival

 

New Weapons: M250 & H21

M250 (Security): Built for mobility and control, the M250 offers adaptable firepower in a compact, ready-for-battle LMG.

H21 (Insurgents): A belt-fed beast designed for intense suppression. Rugged, efficient, and deadly in firefights.

New Limited-Time PvP Mode: First Blood

This special mode limits players to LMGs and sidearms, turning every match into a chaotic brawl. It’s a nod to 80s action movies and the raw stopping power of these new guns.
