The Riflemen News

It’s been a while since the last update was released but worry not, we have been cooking something bigger all this time. With this update named themedly “Mines” comes a lot of new and fixes to old.

What's new?

• Mines, a new map where you fight in tight spaces underground.
  
• Landmine weapon. Get this new explosive from the supply drops in game and surprise your
  enemies!
  
• Gold Rush gamemode. Collect gold drops from enemies and your allies and deposit those on the
  depot point to gain score.
  
• Challenges. These lifetime missions grant new exclusive cosmetics for everyone! There are also a
  few bonus rewards for our loyal premium players.
  
• Free cosmetics when leveling up your soldier. Every 10th level rewards you with a new cosmetic.
  
• XP bonus from premium players. Every premium player in a match grant additional xp bonus
  of 5%. In total this can get up to 50%!
  
• New daily & weekly missions to grind.
  

What has been changed?

• Supply drops. With a new weapon to get we changed it so that you can’t get the same weapon
  twice in a row from supply drops.
  
• Leaderboard. Your own name will be highlighted and each premium player has golden outlines on
  their names.
  
• Progress bar. Now after you complete a match you will see how much xp is needed for the next level.
  
• Announcer. We added more variety to existing clips and now some of the medals will have
  announcer cheering you up!
  
• Medals. We added 3 new medals to grind. There are now “Killing spree” for getting 5 kills without
  dying and “Unstoppable” for getting 10 kills without dying. For Gold Rush game mode there is a
  “Gold deposited” medal.
  
• Gamemode balancing. Now kills grant 50 points in Domination & Gold Rush gamemodes so players need focus more on the objectives.
  
• Customization. Now it’s possible to inspect cosmetics by hovering cursor over them. Equipping skins
  also have unique sound attached to them.
  
• A lot of UI animations & improvements.
  
• Tweaked first person view model walk animation.
  
• Now there's a animation when players take damage.
  
• Bots AI have been improved. They have now different behaviour so sometimes they will strafe and try to dodge enemy fire. Also the bug has been fixed where bots freezed on air.
  
• Chat. There is now a join message when player joins the battlefield.
  
• In game menu. Password is now hidden by default. If you want you can show it with a press of a button.
  
• Small changes to Overrun & Overpass maps.
  

We hope to see you on the battlefields collecting some gold!
