Soldiers!

April update has finally arrived! New TDM map “Phantom Zone”, new weapons, rebalanced old weapons and bug fixes - everything you have been waiting for.

WEAPONS

M48 Bowie Knife

A new addition to the legendary tier – Bowie knife, a national legend and a legacy bearer in the USA. Warface will feature its M48 variation produced by United Cutlery.

The damage and speed of its quick attack (LMB) are comparable with the ones delivered with an axe or a katana, whereas the damage of the heavy attack (RMB) is enough to kill players wearing Corundum vest with one strike.

Don’t forget about the achievements! For killing 10 000 and 25 000 enemies with this knife you will receive “Knife fight” and “Remember Alamo” stripes respectively!

M48 Bowie knife is an arsenal weapon, and it is unlocked through arsenal points you receive by playing the game. The players that have just started unlocking the legendary tier have a higher chance of unlocking the knife first. That is, new players will not need a lot of arsenal points and time to get the knife unlocked.

New map "Phantom Zone"

A new Team Deathmatch map is finally here, the “Phantom Zone”. Warface will clash with Blackwood in Pripyat, one of the most atmospheric ghost towns in the world, the one you can also see in the corresponding Special Operation. Anyone leaving the battlefield will inevitably die of radiation poisoning!

Mikhail Khaimzon, the creative director of Crytek, has much to say about the new map. Watch the video diaries to learn more!

SMOKE AND FLASHBANG VISION FIXED

It is no longer possible to see through the smoke and ignore the flashbang effect.

OTHER CHANGES

• Arsenal progression has become smoother. The overall number of arsenal points needed has been decreased by approx. 20%. Please note that we have recounted your VP progress according to the new system. The percentage of the progress remained the same: that is, if you made 50% progress towards the item you want to unlock, you will have exactly the same percentage after the recount, even though the VP number will be different.
• Knockback grenades. Knockback grenades have been removed from the shop, including side drops from the random boxes. This does not affect the grenades that players currently have in their warehouses.
• Repair cost of the following weapons has been decreased: AC7, R60E4, RST-14, Anatolia RK-102 (regular and "Atlas"), SX-41 (regular and "Anubis"), MT-19, TT?3000 (regular, "Anubis" and "Radiance"), AP-84 Custom "Atlas", Q-88, B-5000 (regular and "Anubis").
• The following melee weapon skins have been reworked: Ultra Marine knife ("Urban", "Desert" and "Wilderness"), Utility knife ("Urban", "Desert" and "Wilderness"), Katana ("Mk.60 Mod" ? "Special Forces"). Now the camo also covers the blade.
• Firing visuals while using the following weapons have been improved: Python, High Power Pistol, M9A1 and MD9.
• PvP, Premades: specific game modes now have different restrictions regarding the number of players in premade parties that can join the game: Battle Royale – no more than 1, Free for All – no more than 5, other modes – no more than 3.
• Now after certain actions (e.g. planting the bomb or jumping over an obstacle) players have a quicker weapon animation that allows shooting earlier than before. This change only concerns the guns with a special animation.
