DevBlog 21: Update 1.2

The rank and file of your foot soldiers are being bolstered with these worthy additions to your early game. All are unlocked with Tier 2 barracks. Experiment with these in your roster and be ready to adapt your strategies.
The Mamba (Black List): Assault infantry equipped with shotguns that do extra damage against enemy infantry. When upgraded with Ghost kit technology, they can sneak into attack range.
The Sniper (Global Risk): Your long range specialist with excellent vision. Attacks cause extra damage to enemy infantry, but reduced damage against shields. Upgraded, they have a chance to critically hit their target.
The Satyr (New Horizon): A lightly armed multi-purpose support unit that can project a protective barrier onto allies. Can be upgraded to modify the rate of fire of any target, friend or foe.
Watching replays is vital for perfecting your strategies and helping others to learn to be better commanders. That’s why we are happy to be bringing this much requested feature and are looking forward to seeing you trading replays and analyzing your gameplay. This will also be a useful tool for future tournaments.
We want these to be shareable. Right now these replay files are tied to your Steam ID, and so we are still working towards decoupling this so you can trade replay files between friends.
For all the magpie commanders out there, we’re implementing Steam achievements. Get your shiny badges and collect the achievements that proudly prove you to be a worthy commander. Here’s some examples:
“Are you classified as human?” - Completed the Campaign on Hard Difficulty
“All for one and one for all” - Completed all Coop missions on Expert Difficulty
“Safety in numbers” - Win a Multiplayer game with infantry only
“Coordinated demolition” - In a Multiplayer game, destroy three enemy Core Bases within 30 seconds of each other
There'll be many more for you to earn and we look forward to seeing you make a name for yourself on the battlefield.
All campaign missions now have a checkpoint system that saves your progress at key moments during a campaign mission. Nowwhen faced with defeat, you don't need to start the mission from scratch.
We also have a Fan Kit available with artwork, unit cards, logos and all your content creators need here: https://static.kochmedia.com/yac_sites/crossfire/cfl_fankit.zip
And for Streamers there is all the tools you need here:

We truly hope you enjoy this update as much as we enjoyed discussing it with the players and putting it together. We can’t wait to see how you commanders will adapt your strategies to these changes. Now begins assessing your feedback and preparing next month's update with even more content. Stay tuned.
