Testing new elite squads!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
No other World War II shooter on the scale of Enlisted has ever focused so much on its protagonists - the soldiers in your army. We're proud of our ability to create unique soldiers, even down to their names, and we're not going to stop! We're introducing a new stage in the in-depth re-creation of World War II soldiers - squads with capabilities beyond those available to the average person.

The first representatives of these new squads will be elite German soldiers whose physical abilities have been enhanced thanks to the efforts of the German chemical industry.

According to the results of the initial internal testing, these new German troops proved to be too effective under your direct control, so in the first stages of testing these new squads will be controlled by AI. Check them out, leave your feedback and get ready for Enlisted's massive expansion!

Contain and Survive!


Hold your ground and repel all attacks of the new AI-controlled German elite troops from April 1st to April 8th (13:00 UTC) in the "Operation: Breaking Dead" event. Additionally, while participating in these special missions, you can complete thematic tasks for unique rewards!

Rewards



Task progress does not reset between stages.

By participating in the event, you will also receive the "Subject" portrait after completing 4 battles.



New research branches


A new branch will appear in the research tree for each country. It will feature a separate army with unique classes of soldiers, superior to regular soldiers in survivability and with access to unique equipment. The "motivated" branch will be unlocked after you fully maxed out all branches of the main army of the country, and for its soldiers we will allocate two exclusive slots in your army.

[h3]Motivated private[/h3]
Privates are "motivated" soldiers on whom the effect of GSe07 was not successful enough. The reduced cognitive functions do not allow them to use small arms effectively, but due to their enormous physical strength they do not need to. They operate in large squads in the first wave of attack.

If such a soldier is given an object, he will not let it go. This is used to reinforce attackers with armored shields and even aerial bombs.

In rare cases, the GSe07 attacks the central nervous system and disrupts the subject’s vestibular system. As a result, such soldiers can only move confidently using all four limbs.

Their inconspicuous silhouette is perfect for delivering up to 40 kilograms of explosives to enemy defensive fortifications.

[h3]Motivated shooter[/h3]
The ideal outcome of using a motivator. Almost no damage to the frontal lobe and preserves the soldier's combat skills. At the same time, it significantly increases physical strength, endurance, and reaction speed of the subject.

These soldiers are used both to form independent units and as commanders of large groups of privates.

They can be armed with both simple weapons and flamethrowers.

[h3]Over-motivated[/h3]
In some cases, the use of a motivator can result in significant physical changes that no one anticipated. Due to the high value of such subjects, they are deployed on the battlefield only in extreme cases, such as when the enemy defenses are too strong.

The perfect soldier - the inhuman experiments of an inhuman war


No questions asked, obeys orders without question, and endures all the hardships of war. Such is the portrait of an ideal soldier, which in reality simply does not exist.

Attempts to create a super soldier existed even in the medicine of the XX century. Disguised as good faith experiments, they have led to the discovery of dozens of effective means of anesthesia and infection control. But the chemists did not stop working in the back and went to the front lines with the craziest ideas to match the crazy times. The all-out destruction of the war removed many moral restrictions, giving freedom to cruel medical experiments.

German scientists achieved particularly significant results in such research. A whole range of drugs was created: from simple pills that suppressed cortisol production to complex psychostimulants, under the influence of which a person's self-confidence and pain threshold increased, and a soldier could go several days without sleep. All this was very relevant in the early days of war in the European theater and in the Blitzkrieg, making it possible for the German army to move without stopping for days. "Motivators" in the early years of the war were included in the standard rations of Luftwaffe pilots and tankers, and were issued to scouts and infantry commanders for independent distribution among their subordinates, in the form of chocolate!

"Panzerschokolade" - chocolate for tankers with "motivator".

As the war progressed, Germany's chemical production could no longer keep up with the growing demand, and on the personal orders of Hitler, who was also a consumer of these products, work was started on the creation of gaseous motivators. According to the concept, at a critical moment the tin can would be opened and the slowly vaporizing gas would fill the trenches or closed rooms, affecting the soldiers inside much faster than oral intake of "motivators". Outside the mucous membranes, the GSe07 gas would quickly lose its effectiveness and disintegrate.

One of the first sample cans for the gaseous "motivator" GSe07. One quick click and you are stronger, faster and tougher than "them".

The trials ended in failure. It was impossible to make a formula that would work properly at all temperatures, humidity and dosing inaccuracies. Overexposure to the gaseous motivator suppressed a person's cognitive functions, and in an overdose, the immune system began to attack its own cells, leading to tissue breakdown. A soldier who remained conscious after exposure to the "motivator" experienced incredible pain and uncontrollable rage, unable to distinguish between their own and their enemies.

A test subject during the GSe07 prolonged exposure test.

Consequence of the experiment. The subject broke the ropes with his bare hands, beat one of the laboratory assistants to death and was shot 15 minutes later by the search party 12 km from the camp.

In June 1943, a large-scale bombing campaign was launched against the German "Pointblank" production facilities and fortifications as part of a combined Allied operation. Among the targets in Germany and France was one of the largest GSe07 depots near the French city of Caen. The destruction of the depot led to a massive release of GSe07 and contaminated more than 70 square kilometers of the surrounding area, where the 352nd Infantry Division and 101st Independent German Tank Battalion stationed - participants of the future battles of D-Day.

The contamination led to 1,500 deaths, mostly due to violence between soldiers. Rumors of the incident quickly spread among the troops and permanently lowered the morale of the 7th Army, and all work on the GSe07 was shut down.

Our game adaptation is dedicated to this event.

Other countries


However, Germany was not alone in its attempts to achieve military success at any cost. Increasing the effectiveness of the army not only with powerful equipment, but also psychologically, was something that every country worked on in the mad madness of the Second World War.

"Stogram" was a Soviet frontline "motivator" that was heavily used by regular units before attacks.

Ranging from the simplest supplements to activate the body's hidden reserves, which everyone knows about, to more complex procedures using gamma radiation, which eventually turned into embellished stories and even feature films about a strong patriot with a star on his shield.

After the end of World War II, Germany's leading chemists ended up in American and Soviet laboratories, and continued to produce all the same products, just under a new supervision.

To this day, thousands of documents about the Second World War remain classified in the archives of the countries involved in this insane war. This information is usually particularly disturbing, and the more civilized our society becomes, the more frightening it is to realize what horrors are hidden behind the yellowed covers of archived documents.

Prepare society for the truth - share this news on social networks.

Mayday!

Suspending Early Access on Steam


Dear players,

We see that many of you are very dissatisfied with the Early Access version that we made available on Steam. Some of you are not happy that the game is bundled with a paid DLC on Steam. Some of you couldn't link your existing Gaijin.Net accounts to the Steam version due to technical issues. We’re deeply sorry for this.

We’ve removed the Early Access version of Enlisted: Reinforced from the Steam Store for now. All users who purchased a Steam access pack for Enlisted: Reinforced will be able to continue playing via Steam. Meanwhile we’ll do our best to assess what we can do to address the issues raised by you.

Unfortunately there is a significant technical obstacle preventing us from making the linking process smooth enough. It occurs if a player already linked their Steam account in another Gaijin.Net game, but the email used there and the one used for Enlisted do not match. This completely breaks our linking procedure.

The existing Steam version was never intended to be available to a massive number of players, hence the “Early Access” status, so making it available to existing huge audience of Enlisted fans could probably lead to even more dissatisfaction, as more people would face these technical issues, or new ones.

We’d like to apologise once again for letting down both our existing players and those who wishlisted the game on Steam. Please, follow the news on our website while we continue exploring our Steam options, looking for a solution for a linking issue and polishing all aspects of the game.

Instructions for linking Enlisted account to Steam ID

Enlisted is now available in Early Access on Steam, and we have prepared an option to link your Gaijin.Net accounts to your personal Steam IDs. There is no time restriction on it at the moment. If Enlisted: Reinforced becomes free-to-play in the future, you will have 30 additional days link your accounts.

The Gaijin.Net account linked to your Steam ID will not be deleted and you will be able to continue playing with it via the client, as well as using the Gaijin.Net store.

[h2]Linking scenarios[/h2]
  • I already have progress in Enlisted
    1. When you first launch Enlisted: Reinforced on Steam, you will be presented with two authentication methods. To link your existing account to Steam and keep your progress, select "Log in via Gaijin.net".
    2. Enter in the window the e-mail address and password of your Gaijin account. This is necessary to link your Gaijin and Steam accounts.
  • This is my first time playing Enlisted
    If you haven't played Enlisted before, you can simply launch the Steam version of the game.
    If you select "Create new account", a new, empty account will be created for your Steam ID. This window will appear only once when you launch the game for the first time!
  • I've already played other Gaijin games via Steam before and linked my account to my Steam ID
    In this case, when you launch the Steam version of Enlisted, you will be immediately in the already linked account, along with the progress you made on that account. The login selection window will not be shown.
  • [Important!!!] I've already played other Gaijin games via Steam, but I haven't added a Gaijin.Net account to them yet
    If you were introduced to Gaijin games initially through Steam, and you played Enlisted via the Launcher, you will not be able to link your accounts in the login window.
    Please contact our support team.

Enlisted: Reinforced is available on Steam!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Friends, the closed testing phase of Enlisted on Steam has begun! Together with you and the new players, we can make Enlisted even better, and you can also look forward to meeting new commanders in battles.

Players with the Enlisted Steam client will play on the same servers as all other Enlisted players. The game client available on our official website and on console will not change in any way.

Every Early Access pack owner will be able to test Enlisted on Steam.

Enlisted: Reinforced packs


We have prepared squads, weapons and vehicles, with which Enlisted newcomers will be able to feel confident even in their very first battles. Purchasing any of the packs on the game's Steam page also gives you access to the early testing phase.

If you already have the M3 field modification or the Beretta M1918 squad, you will get a second copy of them, with 5 soldiers instead of 4 (because these include an engineer, not just a slot for it).
If you already have the Colt Monitor or the MG13 squads, you will be compensated in Gold instead.

You can upgrade to a more advanced set with a discount even after purchasing Enlisted: Reinforced or the Advanced edition.

If you play via the client and plan to continue doing so in the future, we have prepared for you packs with the same content in the Gaijin.Net store, but without access to Steam.

Packs in the Gaijin.Store

Early Access


The Early Access packs will contain unique in-game content for the owners, as well as support the development and creation of unique features especially for Steam and Steam Deck. Enlisted: Reinforced will support full crossplay between all platforms on which Enlisted is already available and will also work on the Steam Deck.

The decision on the format of further distribution of Enlisted: Reinforced will depend , among other things, on the experience gained during the closed test. We are considering the option that the game will become free on Steam in the future, but it may happen after the game is out of Early Access. In case this happens, players who bought the game will keep the unique content included in the Early Access packs of Enlisted: Reinforced.

Account linking


You can retain your progress in Enlisted by linking your Gaijin.Net account to your Steam ID.
