Soldiers!

The Warface Xbox Console server has gotten a fresh update. The fourth season of Battle Pass awaits, with powerful weapons, a new map, an upgraded movement system, weapon improvements, and lots more. Check it out now and share your impressions on social media!

Season Four of Battle Pass

The new season of Battle Pass has started! Grab your favorite weapon and head into battle right now. Up for grabs are the face-melting Typhoon F12 shotgun, strong armor packs, Berserker series guns, and tons of other rewards!

Want to learn more? We’ve got a whole separate piece for that!

Marssacre Map

Check out the new map for Free for All mode! This time, the action unfolds on the red planet, with low-gravity, amidst structures erected by the Martian colonists, which you may already have seen in the Mars raid. And it wouldn’t be Mars without SEDs! That means only robots can play on Marssacre and only with Martian ARCUS weapons.

Marssacre is a brand new gaming experience that’s all about having a good time! You can find out more about the map in a separate post.

The weaponry

F90 MBR

We are introducing a new weapon for brave riflemen. The F90 MBR deals incredible damage with a long range, and its balanced stats make it a versatile way to take out an enemy at any distance.

Besides the standard package of modules, the rifle comes with a special grip that increases accuracy, reload and weapon change speed; it also slightly reduces recoil.

СВ-98

If you don’t like wasting bullets, this rifle is for you. Shots fired from the SV-98 can neutralize practically any living creature, regardless of where it hits or what armor they are wearing.

Comes with three unique modules - suppressor, special suppressor, and scope.

Gerber Tomahawk

A new kind of melee weapon appeared in the game — the Gerber Tomahawk. It has the highest damage in the game — for both primary and secondary attacks. The latter allows users to eliminate even enemies wearing a Corundum Vest!

Besides looking super luxe, the gold version will be distinguished by increased damage and damage radius, and it's definitely what fans of close range combat need.

Weapons and Tigerstripe skins

In addition to the Tigerstripe skin series, there is a weapon series too! It includes the same weapons and achievements — marks, badges, and stripes.

More about the additions

Guns changes

The stats of several guns for all classes have been changed. The corrections affect several of the Anti-Cyborg series weapons. Furthermore, the animation for the Remington MSR and Executor knife have been reworked. The correction will affect all version of the weapons unless otherwise stated.

More on the changes

Ammunition

Spectre Series

The Spectre equipment series will get new items soon — Sigma gloves and boots and Beta boots. Their stats are diverse and were chosen to match the gameplay features of each class. Configure your character for a certain playstyle by combining elements of equipment from different groups. You can purchase items in the game store.

Slot system for additional ammo

The system has changed in the following way:

• 2 special slots have been added for class ammunition, and the large analogous slot under the melee weapon slot has been deleted;
• there are 6 total additional ammunition slots (formerly 7): 3 slots for different types of grenades, 1 slot for mines, and 2 slots for special class equipment;
• now players can take one of each type of grenade and mine.

Now all additional ammunition, both grenades and mines, are truly valuable resources on the battlefield. Accidental or unwise use of items can decide the outcome of a battle in your enemy’s favor, because, more so than ever before, tactics and teamwork are key.

Other changes

Arms and equipment

• Changed the accuracy while sliding and shooting from sniper rifles. The ease of shooting in various positions is an important game mechanic. Previously, there were no special indicators of sliding while shooting a sniper rifle — instead, they used settings for shooting from a prone position. This situation required improvement, because for objective reasons, shooting while running, sliding, or jumping is always difficult. To get closer to the classic sniper archetype, the current mechanics have been adjusted — the dispersion when shooting from the hip while sliding has been increased for all sniper rifles.
• The smoke grenade logic when hitting a hard surface has been improved. Even if the grenade continues rolling after meeting the obstacle or lands on a moving object, it will still work. Read more.
• Upgraded smoke grenade visual effect: the cloud density changes depending on the player’s position in it — the cloud is thicker at the center than at the edge.
• Upgrades shell casing animation:
  - their direction depends on the position of the character and camera;
  - shell casings hit surrounding objects;
  - correctly shaped shell casings;
  - shell casings do not interfere with aiming;
  - revolver shell casings added;
  - situations in which shell casings are not displayed if they are only partially on screen.
• 4 bonus items from the Spectre pack: the amount of HP and armor restored after 4 seconds with no damage has been increased for all classes (to 2, formerly 1).
• Upgraded the visual effects of shooting in aiming mode — you’ll see fewer flashes of from the barrel and fewer visual artifacts.
• Updated the visuals of the explosion of M26 frag grenades.

• The chances of finding the following items in some Lucky Boxes have changed:
  - the chances of gaining a permanent version of a weapon (regular and gold) has stayed the same;
  - the chance of receiving a temporary version of a weapon has increased;
  - the chance of receiving a character appearance has been lowered.

• The resource requirements of several game model materials have been optimized.

PvP

• The matchmaking settings for RMs have been changed. Now players’ effectiveness will be more balanced — because of an increased selection time.
• Stat calculation and achievement progress tracking in user rooms has been disabled.
• Yard Map: reduced overhands and awnings over the market area.

• Marssacre Map:
  - kill-cam time (a special mode after a player dies) has been reduced to 3 sec (formerly 4)
  - player invincibility after respawning has been increased to 1.2 sec (formerly 0.7 sec)

• Shooting through vehicle windows has been reworked: they can be shot through if they are completely transparent and enemies are visible through them.

PvE

• It is now more obvious when mini-bosses in the Sunrise and Mars raids take damage, thanks to new effects.
• The sound has been improved in the Mars raid.
• Mars (Act 3): the size of mini-maps has been reworked.
• Mars: the number of enemy kills required to get class achievements has been reduced to 1,000 (formerly 5,000).
