Weapons, Operators, Maps – New Content

New weapons are of course the focus of most players in the new season. The developers have brought in 5 new additions to the arsenal. At launch you can get three: the .410 Ironhide, the Grav and the Battle Axe. On October 19 the LAPA SMG will join the fray via “The Haunting” event and the final weapon Hammer & Sickle will be implemented in the course of the season.

To start off the new season the developers have also enabled a double XP weekend to let players quickly level the new weapons.

Three new maps will also be implemented into the game: Deprogram, Amerika and Gluboko. Deprogram is entirely within the mind of Russel Adler, who is reeling from Stitch’s brainwashing. It has fragments of his memories in Vietnam and his encounter with Stitch. Hudson and new Operator Mason come to his rescue eventually. The next map, Amerika, is a soviet training ground built in Anytown, USA. Gluboko then completes the trio by letting players explore secret facilities deep beneath a Russian KGB headquarter.
