H&K G28 SNIPER RIFLE

This is hands down one of the most unique sniper rifles to be introduced to the game. If you main the Sniper class and are longing for a fresh experience, best give this one a shot! Its combat specs and design allow it to remain competitive at medium and even short ranges, much owed to the unique collimator sight.

Two shots from the G28 to any part of the body are enough to take your enemy down, and a single headshot will definitely be lethal. The rifle is extremely lenient on its user with the combination of soft recoil and high rate of fire. The golden version has a somewhat increased rate of fire and magazine capacity.

You will soon be able to get the H&K G28 sniper rifle in Random Kredit or Crown Boxes.

LWRC SMG-45

Chambered in .45 ACP, the new SMG stands out due to its high damage.

Following in the footsteps of the G28, LWRC-45 is another game changer. Essentially a step up from the familiar UMP, this Engineer weapon can deliver one-shot kills if you land a headshot. To counterbalance, the SMG has the lowest rate of fire in its class, as well as a medium effective range and substantial recoil. Apart from that, LWRC SMG-45 comes with 2 unique attachments:

• LWRC SMG-45 1.3x collimator sight
• LWRC SMG-45 Angle Grip: increases accuracy, substantially reduces recoil, increases weapon selection / deselection speed

The golden version follows the tradition, bringing slightly improved combat specs.

You will soon be able to get LWRC SMG-45 in Random Kredit or Crown Boxes.

GOLDEN GLOCK 18C

Glock 18C was the first fully automatic pistol to be introduced to Warface. Initially, we feared it would become extremely overpowered due to its seemingly lethal combination of high damage and rate of fire that are easily comparable to the Engineer’s starter primaries. However, the secondary weapon lineup improved as time went by, and that forced Glock 18C to drop out of the competition. This update we’ve decided to bring it back!

To start with, Glock 18C will have its damage increased by 10 points up to 60, and will receive a minor buff to its accuracy while aiming. Apart from that, hit multipliers will be adjusted: the gun will deliver increased damage to legs but reduced to the head. This will make the gun more competitive overall, but will not guarantee a single headshot takedown.

You will be able to get Glock 18C in Random Kredit Boxes.

“ICEBREAKER” SERIES EXPANSION

The Icebreaker set will be expanded to include new weapons and skins in one of the upcoming game updates. The following weapons will join the series: Beretta ARX160, DP-12, CZ Scorpion Evo3 A1, Bushmaster BA50, CZ 75 Czechmate Parrot.

These guns will receive a striking ice cold pattern while retaining their original combat specifications — these guns will be a solid pick for dealing with any enemy just as before. Icebreaker weapon skins — applicable to the original listed weapons — will be added as well.

Achievements

We’ll provide more details on how to acquire this expanded set at a later point.

A great addition to any collector’s armory, and even more so to those who favor flashy, trendy guns! The Yellow Emperor weapon series will be introduced shortly before the Lunar New Year. The fierce Chinese dragon will be engraved into the side of the firearm, making it a true guardian in battle!

The Yellow Emperor series will consist of skins for ACR, ACR CQB, Daewoo K1, AS50, Cobray Striker, Fabarm STF 12 Compact, Desert Eagle and the Ultramarine knife. By the way, its achievements are just as marvellous as the guns themselves!
