Halloween update – now in game
Soldiers!
This update will introduce a new rank, various additions to the arsenal, bugfixes and all the rest you may need for a perfect Halloween!
HALLOWEEN
Cemetery map
The mystical map makes its way back as well. No better battlegrounds for a Halloween than a cemetery with open caskets, scarecrows, witches and Jack-o’-lanterns! Just click on the in-game banner to play on it!
Halloween Set
The boxes awarded for completing the special operation now grant 6 weapons from the new weapon set — Halloween 2017. Here’s the full list of weapons included: AC7 MG, VIPER, SMG-19 Wisent, Karkom SNR Navy Blue, P-57 and the sapper shovel.
Cyber Horde returns
The long-awaited special operation’s making a return in Warface! Halloween celebrations aside, you’ll face hordes of cyborgs in exchange for some thematic rewards, unique achievements and weapons from a brand new set!
Festive appearances
The game will greet you with a new, thematic loading screen and a musical theme.
RANK 87
The chain of command grows ever larger with the new rank of 87 — Major-General of the “Heralds of Death” squadron, depicting a shinobi. |
WEAPONS
WPA 093 GMD
WPA 039 GMD is the first legendary-tier secondary Arsenal weapon, unlocked for VP. This rapid-firing automatic sidearm can be outfitted with a broad variety of attachments: barrel and top rail. Per tradition, every Arsenal firearm has a unique modification. WPA comes with a suppressor — not only does it silence the shot, it also increases accuracy of the firearm. |
WESTERNER 1887
Westerner 1887 brings is mind-blowingly powerful, highly accurate and barely has any kickback. This iconic weapon doesn’t have any modifications, because Arnie said so. Speaking of which, it has a unique reload animation, while its golden variant has a couple of benefits: increased effective range and magazine capacity. Westerner 1887 will be available in Random Kredit Boxes. |
SAFEHOUSE: PARKOUR
Safehouse isn’t just a hideout, and as of this update, it will be more than just a shooting range! You will now be able to practice climbing, jumping, obstacle-running and anything else to help you catch up to Oberon White. Use the laptop to launch the training exercise!
NEWCOMER INTERFACE CHANGES
Newcomers will no longer be distracted with various interface elements as part of the UI will be disabled for the first few levels. These elements will instead be gradually unlocked to the new player based on rank progress.

MISCELLANEOUS
- Flash / stun effects: duration and flash have been reduced; helmets (that provide flashbang protection) are now more efficient, reducing the duration and initial flash effectiveness.
- Basic flash duration has been reduced by approximately 15%. The flash effect dissipates approximately 20% faster. Helmet “flash protection” has been reduced by 10% (20% for the Tournament Rifleman helmet). As a result, the full cycle of the flash effect (the stun + dissipation) has been shortened for all helmets (except for the Tournament Rifleman helmet). The goal was to reduce the flash effect on regular helmets while increasing its effect on the Tournament Rifleman helmet.
- PvE, “Middle East”; fixed an issue with receiving occasional damage from climbing the sandbags.
- Special Operation: ‘Blackout’; fixed an issue with players falling behind (if they didn’t go through the gates) not being teleported along correctly.
- Fararm W.S.S.10 & AP-84 Custom drop rates have been readjusted to match the costs of other weapons of the same class found in the shop.
- UI; the bomb marker is no longer displayed on the enemy mini-map.
- UI; item duration counters in the inventory have been optimized for items with less than an hour left.
- UI; expired items are no longer displayed in the “Already purchased” tab
- Optimization; loading times have been improved by approximately 30%.
