IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NVIDIA USERS: We are currently experiencing a crash on startup on NVIDIA driver version 576.40 for most 50-series users. It is highly recommended that you stay on the previous versions or download a known stable driver version 576.28. We are working with NVIDIA to resolve the crash in the upcoming driver release. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

New features

Realistic weather system

• Dynamic weather conditions, including rain, storms, fog, and wind, both during the day and at night
• Rice fields fill up with water during rainy weather
• The weather forecast is shown on the map and in the main menu and is based on real weather data
• Player characters react to the changing weather conditions - hydration and energy deplete faster in a hot and humid environment
• NPCs are also affected - wind and rain affect their hearing, while rain and fog affect their sight

Conflict Zones

• Get alerted about ongoing PVP conflicts on the map
• Conflict Zones are created on the map when PMCs from different factions engage in a fight
• Conflict Zones stay on the map for a specific period of time, alerting players that a PVP fight is going on at this location
• Conflict Zones will disappear some time after the active firefight ends

Friend or Foe

• An improved system to detect friendly players in a fight and prevent accidental friendly fire
• Players of the same faction will have a visible armband on their arm to signal that they are friendly
• Enemy PMC players will have no armband visible, signifying they are an enemy
• An operator will warn players that a friendly player is in the area

Tracking Tags

• Purchasable trackers to help you track your gear.
• We are adding the tracking tags to the game based on community feedback. Thank you for sharing your suggestions!
• Tracking tags can be attached to equipment to track its position on the map - helpful in retrieving your body, for example
• If a player loots a piece of gear with a tracker attached, their position will be tracked as they move with the tagged equipment in their player inventory until the tracker duration expires
• Trackers cannot be removed from the tracked items, so be careful what you loot and watch your back!

Dragging bodies

• Drag your downed squadmate to a more favorable position before attending to their wounds in safety

Mortars

• Mortars make a comeback with a boom! Use them on the offense to support your attack run
• High-explosive mortar rounds can be found in the world or purchased from vendors, but they are very expensive
• Mortar strikes can be called to any location within a specific range (limited, so players cannot call mortar strikes at enemy FOBs)
• The time delay between the mortar strike being fired and the mortar shell landing is based on the distance
• Cannot be called to a location that is in proximity to friendly faction members

New vendor - Vulture

• This vendor is available at random at two of the major COPs to the faction that holds the outpost
• He sells items that have been lost by other players and despawned from the world, and some items that are not available at regular vendors

New weapons

• SVD
• MP7
• Sig MCX
• Beretta M9A1
• Colt Combat Commander
