Echoes of Valor Seasonal Update - 18.12.2025
Warriors!
The bells toll above ancient walls, calling fighters back to the battlefield. Behind iron gates and towering ramparts lies the impregnable Stronghold, where General Wharton is held captive by the shadowy organization known as the Labyrinth.
Bring the brave General Wharton home in the new Echoes of Valor season, which offers two Special Operations and numerous activities. Also, get ready for major UI and gameplay improvements for clearer, smoother navigation, progression, and combat.
The stones of this medieval city remember every battle. Are you brave enough to take up its challenge?
Seasonal Roadmap 
New Content
- New Battle Pass with the Stained Glass, Noble Carving, and Gothic Stone Weapon Series
- New RM Season with the Nobility Weapon Series
- New PvE Season with the Unbreakable Guard Weapon Series
- New Prestige Season
The events unfold on a grim Northern European island, home to the impregnable Stronghold.
Your primary objective is to rescue General Wharton by any means necessary. You will take part in a coordinated assault as a member of Delta Squad, then take on a solo mission playing as Wharton himself in Campaign mode. Complete the operation as a team by storming the fortifications, then continue alone by navigating secret tunnels toward a decisive confrontation with the traitor.
The number of Crown rewards for the SO completion is doubled. The increased rewards will be active throughout the winter season. Learn more about the new Special Operation in a dedicated article.
ShAK-12
The ShAK-12, developed by TsKIB SOO, is a high-caliber battle rifle used by Russian Special Forces since 2011. Designed for high-risk law enforcement operations, it delivers high stopping power with limited penetration and a short 'dangerous range' to minimize collateral damage. The rifle chambers specialized large-caliber ammunition, making it ideal for various close-quarters missions.
Soon: Christmas Event and Agent
Winter has arrived, bringing the festive event Shattered Heart, filled with holiday magic and fun! Take part in PvP and PvE activities to earn event currency and unlock rewards from the new Ice Power weapon series.
The event features PvP Brawl mod, played on Xmas Factory, Trailer Park, and Forest maps.
The core mechanics of the event remain unchanged, but this time several new additions have been introduced, including:
- extended event duration — four weeks instead of the usual three;
- the ability to purchase camouflages from the new weapon series in the event Showcase. This is particularly useful if you already own the featured weapon, as camouflages are significantly cheaper than the weapon itself.
The winter fairytale is approaching; its arrival is scheduled for next Thursday.
Linus Rimmel, born into poverty and never seeing himself as a soldier, found purpose in the disciplined life of an island fortress garrison, where he finally felt he belonged. At that moment, he did not yet know that he was destined to turn against the very place that had become his sanctuary when Noda sought his help in rescuing General Wharton, imprisoned within its walls.
This Rifleman is equipped with the heavy ShAK-12 assault rifle featuring the Strike of Loyalty camo.
