Greetings Operators.

The time is now! Discover the complete patchnotes for Early Access 1.51.

As usual, let us know your feedback on Discord!

Here are the main features to look at:



Two new maps are ready for deployment, offering unique tactical challenges. The Carrier Deck is a tight, linear battlefield, perfect for intense close-quarters combat. Its straightforward design keeps the action fast and focused, with little room for error. In contrast, the Stronghold opens up vast strategic possibilities, with a diverse layout featuring ample cover, ambush points, and sniper-friendly zones. It’s an ideal playground for sharpshooters and spotters to outmaneuver the enemy. Both maps demand precision, adaptability, and tactical finesse.



This is your chance to take full command. With the Campaign Editor, you’re no longer just a player—you’re the architect of war. Design every detail of your operation, from the maps to the narratives, crafting missions that expand the lore of Black One Blood Brothers. Once your masterpiece is complete, share it with the community on Steam Workshop and inspire others to join the fight. Your creativity is the key to building a richer, deeper world. Let’s see what you’ve got!



Air support just got a massive upgrade. The outdated radio kit has been retired and replaced by the advanced UAV Kit, giving you four powerful options for air superiority. Use it to scout the terrain, call in precise artillery strikes, or identify the perfect landing zone for supply drops. Take direct control of the drone, and turn the tides of battle with cutting-edge tactical capabilities. The sky is no longer the limit—it’s your advantage.



The world of Black One Blood Brothers is evolving. Enemies now exhibit more dynamic behaviors, interacting with each other during idle moments to create a more immersive battlefield. Hostages have also been overhauled with greater diversity and more realistic responses to threats, raising the stakes of every rescue mission. Additionally, the mall has been enriched with new furniture and cover options, adding layers of strategy to firefights.

Helios is committed to continually refining the AI and world design. These changes are just the beginning, with more enhancements already in the pipeline.



Version EA 1.51 is packed with new features and improvements. Personalize your squad with new weapons, gear, and roles to suit your playstyle. The map editor now includes additional props and buildings, giving you even more tools to craft your dream scenarios. From quality-of-life upgrades to expanded creative possibilities, this update ensures there’s always something new to discover.

This isn’t just an update—it’s an evolution. Your feedback and creativity fuel the future of Black One Blood Brothers. We can’t wait to see the missions and campaigns you create, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you.

Happy gaming, operators. Let’s connect on Steam, Discord, or Reddit—the battlefield awaits!

Greetings, Operators

The wait is over. Early Access 1.51 is on its way, and with each update, we’re committed to making Black One Blood Brothers even better. Helios has been hard at work, bringing you fresh content and features to elevate your tactical experience. Let’s dive into the most anticipated changes and surprises he has prepared for you.





Prepare for two new battlegrounds: New World Stronghold and Carrier Desk. Each map brings unique challenges that will test your strategy and adaptability.

On Carrier Desk, you’ll need to get creative. The map’s tight corridors and open spaces, along with aircrafts, helicopters, crates, and boxes, offer limited cover. Once you’re in a corridor, it’s you or them—so stay sharp and choose your path carefully.

The Stronghold map offers more deployment options but raises the stakes. Enemies will exploit natural cover and high ground, so adjust your tactics to maintain the upper hand.











Introducing a new level of air support: the UAV reworked, arriving in EA 1.51. This powerful tool unlocks four tactical options for you and your squad:

Recon: Fly over enemy positions, locate hostages or VIPs, and secure vital intel.
Ping a Landing Zone: Need supplies? Mark the optimal landing zone and retrieve your gear fast.
Missile Strike (Small Area): Execute up to 30 precision strikes with a limited blast radius.
Missile Strike (Large Area): For maximum impact, launch one of four large-scale strikes. Use them wisely.

Just make sure one of your operators is carrying an UAV kit to call for air support.





Here’s your chance to design the perfect military campaign. With the Custom Campaign Editor, you can customize every detail—from mission names and briefings to officers in command and intel—crafting your own legend within the Black One Blood Brothers universe.

Take it further by creating custom maps to integrate into your campaigns, then share them on the Steam Workshop. It’s your time to shine, Operator—unleash your creativity and write your legacy.





Helios is always listening to feedback that makes a meaningful impact on the game’s realism and the community’s experience. Based on valuable insights from you, this update will include:

New Ambient Animations for NPCs: Enemies now display contextual animations while idling, creating a more immersive and lifelike environment. More diversity in the hostages would be noticed as well.
Role Assignment for Operators: Assign roles to optimize your squad’s effectiveness and streamline battlefield management.
Quality of Life Improvements: Numerous enhancements to make your experience smoother and more engaging.
And there’s even more: cosmetics, new gear, weapons, attachments, and various fixes are all included in this update to keep the experience fresh and realistic.



As always, the full patch notes will be available at launch.





Black One Blood Brothers EA 1.51 drops on November 18, 2024, alongside a brand new video. We’re excited for you to experience the latest improvements, and we encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts on Discord. Your relevant feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the game into an experience that feels authentic and engaging.

Thank you for your continued support. It means the world to us.

Kane, out.
