Battle Pass: Season 0 is a test client integrated global operation during which you will advance through levels by completing tasks and receiving valuable rewards. The premium access to the Battle Pass will be available for in-game currency. Please note that Season 0 will last for a week. Details.
HX Outdoors Trident
The combat stats of the novelty will be on par with those of the Balisong Knife. Apart from excellent combat effectiveness, the knife offers a unique animation that gets activated when it is not used and allows you to get a better view of the unique colors of the weapon. Details.
"Lightcycle" Weapon Series
The guns of new "Lightcycle" weapon series are decorated with a neon pattern that constantly changes its color. The series includes only the best weapon models with excellent specs suitable for solving any tactical tasks. Details.
By killing enemies with Lightcycle arms, you can earn bright neon weapon expert stripes!
Pirates' Day Content
A good pirate knows worthy booty when he sees one. As a well-known pirate used to say, not all treasure is silver and gold. So we have prepared flashy themed content for you to celebrate pirate conquests.
Weapon Charms
The charm system in Warface will open up a new facet of customization: together with camouflages, they will make customization of the weapon looks even more flexible. They will also expand possibilities of introducing new content into the game to mark various holidays, events and other activities. Here are 5 types of themed charms to mark Pirates' Day. Each accessory is set in a unique style, so it will not be difficult for you to choose a charm to your liking. Details.
"Pirate" Weapon Series
The "Pirate" series includes mainly weapons from the crafting system expanded with a grenade launcher for the SED, secondary weapons and melee arms. An ocean-dwelling nightmare, the Kraken, adorns the guns of the new series. The kraken has a human skull in a pirate cocked hat instead of a head. The series will become one of the key elements of the festive content and will undoubtedly please all fans of pirates. Details.
By eliminating those who do not comply with the Pirate Code using "Pirate" weapons, you can get expert stripes!
Themed Achievements
Themed achievements will be a cherry on top. They will complete the look of a true pirate! You can expand your collection with a cool badge, mark and stripe.
Battle Pass "Mutiny"
Prepare for the unique rewards of the Mutiny Battle Pass that will be launched right after the Battle Pass: Season 0 ends. You will find even more charms, unique skins "Peacekeeper", the weapon series "Guardian" and "Rogue", as well as themed achievements. Stay tuned!
District 2.0
"District" appeared in the game back in 2013 and even today it remains one of the most popular "Plant the Bomb" maps. However, a lot of time passed since the location development; so it needed to be brought up to modern standards.
"District 2.0" looks way better - the map has become brighter and richer in contrast while its objects and textures have been replaced with more detailed and modern ones. As for the gameplay, "District 2.0" has become more comfortable to play. Many exploits have been removed. The firefighting areas now offer no clear advantage to either side.
For fans of District 2.0 we have added special achievements for victories and the first places. Only the best fighters can pin them on their profiles! Details.
New Weapons
As the name implies, the in-game incarnation of the HCAR Auto differs from its predecessor due to its fully automatic fire. The rifle boasts high damage, increased magazine capacity, improved rate of fire and good range, which makes the novelty a really formidable arm in experienced hands. In addition, the HCAR Auto offers increased damage multipliers to the body and limbs, and can be easily equipped with a unique suppressor and a reflex sight. Details.
The revamped version FN P90 Custom will pleasantly surprise you with an impressive efficiency at close and medium ranges thanks to a high rate of fire and the ability to eliminate enemies in close quarters with one headshot. The custom version of the FN P90 surpasses its original in damage, range, magazine capacity, and head and limb damage multipliers. The weapon also features a hi-tech design and can be equipped with one-off attachments - a silencer and a sight. Details.
The AMB-17 is a small-sized assault rifle designed by the Kalashnikov Group and created on the basis of the AM-17, a development of the legendary gunsmith Evgeny Dragunov, featuring all cutting-edge technologies. The weapon was elaborated for the secret services and the army to replace the AS Val and VSS Vintorez. The damage and effective range of the new arm in the game are identical to those of the AM-17, but the AMB-17 surpasses its predecessor in the rate of fire. This advantage is offset by a slightly lower magazine capacity and reduced hip fire accuracy. Details.
The lightweight tactical sniper rifle DVL-10 M2 is a cutting-edge product of the Russian manufacturer Lobaev Arms that can be successfully employed wherever compactness, mobility and high accuracy are required. In the game, the weapon allows for quick aiming and is able to kill the enemy by impacting any body part. Details.
More Content
And that is not all! We have prepared several important novelties that will please both new players who have recently discovered Warface and project veterans. A solo mission, an updated interface, and other major changes are waiting for you!
Solo Mission
We are glad to announce the appearance of a Solo Mission - a short special operation for individual or cooperative completion with friends (3 players maximum). In this mission, new players will be able to familiarize themselves with the project and appreciate all its merits, veterans can test weapons from their Inventories and master the key mechanics, while returning players will learn how much Warface has changed since their last game session and why it is worth coming back. Details.
Reworked UI (First Stage)
We are glad to share great news - the first changes to the game interface are already available in the current game version. It has become more modern and convenient for using both a mouse and a gamepad. The main menu, chat, friends list, notification box, player information block and other significant elements have been revamped. This is just the first step in the global change of the UI. Stay tuned!
Set of mini-boss finishing off animations
The set of available animations for finishing off opponents in PvE missions and Special Operations has been expanded. If a mini-boss (for example, SED-2 or Firestarter) is blocked in a corner or near an obstacle that prevents you from getting close to him from the back, you can still deliver the killing blow.

Technical Changes
Changes to shooting mechanics
Shooting, as one of the main game mechanics, has always been in the center of attention of prohibited software developers. In particular, they used game exploits which made it possible to shoot without interruptions. Of course, the situation needed to be solved.
And while working on the problem, it became clear that a high-quality fix cannot be limited to the elimination of only one vulnerability. We had to modify the most basic shooting mechanics, so it took us quite a long time. Some of the root shooting algorithms have been completely reworked, and some of them have been transferred from the game client to the server.
Please note that this change is purely internal and technical in nature. It does not affect weapon specs and their conduct in battle.
