Beyond The Wire News

With a new year upon us, we've taken the opportunity to review our road map and make some changes for the first few months of 2021. Our second Operation 'For King and Country' is still slated for Q1 but we've introduced a new update to deliver content for the game sooner than our original plan. Check out the updated road map graphic below!



Coming in the second month of the year will be Chateau-Thierry, a battle from Marne, in addition to new emplaced weapons, rifles and melee weapons. This map was originally part of the 'For King and Country' update but has now been replaced by a new map - Combles, a battle from the Somme offensive. We'll be detailing this new February update over the next few developer blogs, so be sure to stay posted for news coming over the horizon!

Before that intel arrives, reconnaissance has forwarded the first imagery from Chateau-Thierry in preparation for the assault!




See you in the trenches, Soldier!

Before we sign off for the Christmas days, we wanted to address a few issues that were introduced with the v0.8 update, such as the particle effects being lit incorrectly due to the recent lighting system refactor. See the full changelog below:

[h3]Levels[/h3]

• Cantigny: Added additional cover and decoration close to the village entrance, west of the Cathedral
  
• Updated main menu level
  

[h3]General Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed various particle effects being overly bright due to lighting system changes
  
• Fixed Feldkanone 96 n.A. shell causing no impact sounds or particle effects on various surfaces
  

We'll see you on the next update Soldier!

We have joined up with our Official Partner Karmakut to do a three-part video tutorial series for Beyond The Wire, of which the third and final episode released last week. With our recently released Shooting Range being the first release of our tutorial features, we recognise the lack of guidance and general tips for new players joining the game.

This tutorial series is aimed at beginners and veterans alike and covers all aspects, from starting the game to becoming a successful section leader. If you're new to the game, want to improve your skills or just have a general interest in BTW content, we highly recommend watching the full in-depth guide over on Karmakut's YouTube channel.

We also want to recognize the continued effort by our community to help new players get to grips with the game's mechanics and unique features. Whether it's watching other guides on YouTube, reading how-to's on Steam or getting useful tips from other community members on our Discord or in-game, we know that new players heading out Beyond The Wire for the first time can expect a warm, welcoming and helpful Beyond The Wire community.

Our thanks, Soldiers, we'll see you in the trenches!
