New Content
Contract System
There is a new contract system, which is completely different from the previously existing mechanics. The updated contracts work very simply:
- in the main menu and the lobby, the player goes to the "Contracts" section (available on the top panel);
- a special menu allows you to see all the available contracts and information about them (execution conditions, activation costs, progress status and reward upon completion);
- some contracts can have a certain fee (for example, WF$), but the reward for their completion is higher;
- there are two types of contracts: a one-time set of tasks or a sequential chain of them;
- a player may have an unlimited number of active contracts at the same time.
- some contracts have time constraints; offers like those may disappear at any time.
Kalashnikov MP-155 Ultima
We are glad to present you a new powerful shotgun manufactured by the Kalashnikov concern. It boasts a high range and medium rate of fire, which are offset by significant recoil. In terms of specs, the model will resemble the Chiappa Triple Threat, but with a lower rate of fire and the possibility to perform more shots without reloading.
Steyr Scout Special
The arsenal of Snipers has been replenished with a special version of the legendary bolt-action rifle. The looks of this model have been redesigned, and additional attachments can be mounted on the arm. The special version differs from the regular one thanks to its range of fire, which is compensated for by slight differences in accuracy and rate of fire. The novelty comes equipped with unique attachments: a silencer and a bipod (folded and unfolded).

"Ruins" map ("Capture")
The new map for the "Capture" mode will greet you with a tropical climate and the possibility to use a variety of strategies. The confrontation between Blackwood and Warface will unfold in hot Africa among the rubble of the ancient ruins, which have prepared some treacherous surprises for those who dare explore them.
The goal of the attacking team is to capture the box with the decryption code. The task of the defending team is to prevent the secret data from being stolen, no matter what.
The jungle and the stone tunnels are full of dangerous zones that can be used to obtain tactical advantages and restrict the enemy’s maneuvers. Lure the enemies into ancient traps, by changing the location’s topology during the game with levers and switches. Well-thought-out tactics will help you win and obtain the coveted achievements!
"Hidden War" series
The appearance of the new series will satisfy even the most discerning gun connoisseurs. They have a stylish design, great variability of patterns, as well their key feature, unique eye-catching elements inherent in every model that will certainly not leave you indifferent. Some guns have exclusive external elements that enhance the usual models and give them a fresh coat of paint. Check out how cool they are!
"Pyrite" series
The frames of the models from the new series are decorated with a gold pattern using geometric motifs. It resembles a scratch card for travelers that you need to scratch out if you’ve visited certain places in the world. You also have a difficult journey ahead 一 so grab the new guns to learn about the new game content with them!
"Hidden War" gear
A new special set of "Hidden War" gear has appeared in the seasonal update. The pack includes a helmet and a vest for all classes (except for SEDs). The specs of the new set are the same for each class. The "Hidden War" gear will allow you to diversify equipment to fit different needs of your fighter, combining new elements with the already existing ones.
Bats
Have you been waiting to give your opponent a proper beating, but doing that with a toy hammer was a bit too difficult? No problem! Now we have some serious novelty 一 the bat. You don’t have to shy away from the appearance of the weapon. Just equip the bat and demonstrate the most serious intentions in a fight! The weapon is available in several variants, which differ from each other substantially. In addition, we have prepared some camouflages for the new arm.
The "Viridian" series
Just one look at this novelty, will probably remind you of a couple of popular films about the not so friendly guests from other planets and dimensions. The frame of the models from the new series is styled in dark colours using contrasting green inserts. They shine beautifully, as if filling the weapon with unearthly power. Give in to the temptation — bring these guns into your next battle!
