Update "Hidden Threat"

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Commanders, the "Hidden Threat" update is here! It brings a new class, new weapons and vehicles, improved effects and visuals, plus ray tracing and upscaler updates.



Saboteurs are joining the battle. Their main feature is that they are capable of blending in with the enemy by changing into their uniforms and thus misleading them. These soldiers fight alone behind enemy lines, but this allows them to easily sabotage or distract the enemy without attracting much attention to themselves. They are available as rewards from the event tied to the update.



A new addition awaits each army in their research tree, along with two new premium flametrooper squads who carry flamethrowers attached to their weapons. We also adjusted the BR of several weapons and vehicles based on your feedback.



The perk system also got improvements! You can now save your preferred perks for each class in presets and apply them with a single press of a button. To help you experiment and find your own play style, we also removed the cost of discarding perks, so you can reset your soldiers for free.



We are constantly working on making Enlisted more beautiful! In this update, we have significantly improved a number of effects and added new ones, from being able to burn the vegetation to improved water ripples left by vehicles moving through water. Additionally, ray tracing is now supported on Intel GPUs too.



The Silver Chest is back once again! From the release of the update until April 8th (13:00 UTC), the "Scorched stash" will be available in the shop with an updated list of rewards up to The Normandie-Niemen Fighter Regiment event. You can also get Silver Chests for logging in daily!
