• [p]For players interested in swapping branches, we recommend saving your game at a camp and making a local backup of the save files to a different folder. If you have been using Sarah's Gift fuel tank from Horde Assault, you will need to swap this fuel tank out for a different one at a mechanic before being able to ride the bike.[/p]
