Preview EA 1.51 - Features

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.



New Maps


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.









UAV Device


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.



Custom Campaign Feature


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.



Community-Driven Enhancements


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.
