In addition to the Pack Reclaimer, Medical Bed, and Ramp, two new NPCs will be added to the game in the near future, which will make attacking military bases a much more challenging task.

Imperial "Rhino" Main Battle Tank

Level 60 NPC, often appearing in the map on the upper left or lower right of the military base, they have both fierce firepower, superior protection and ordinary firearms will not damage them easily, but the track is its weakness.




Imperial "Night Owl" Gunship

Level 60 NPC, snowy mountains is its active area, it has excellent firepower system and has a certain degree of aerial combat ability. Its rotor blades, which generate lift and pull forces, are its biggest weakness.




In addition, for players concerned about the power supply anomalies, solo/hosted game restart leads to the disappearance of the squad and other issues have been in the process of fixing. We will update the fix as soon as possible.

Last week, we launched several new PVP servers, and we found that players are more keen to enter the new no-wipe server, so we plan to add 4 new PVP no-wipe servers on December 1-2.

Here are the time arrangements for these new servers:

Greetings players! Let’s have a sneak peek on the upcoming new items in The Front!



Pack Reclaimer
Use this after dying to retrieve your own dropped items. Does not work if items have disappeared.
It will consume ether shards for each use, and there will be cool down times for each use.



Medical Bed
It can heal characters gradually and cure adverse states.



Hazamat Suit
Made of special materials to prevent radiation and infection. Wearing it will take off the rest of your gear.



Ramp
A larger and wider stair, used for the vehicles to pass through.

We are also working on other optimizations. Including a new helicopter and a new world boss tank. Adding the Vsync function etc. We will push the update as soon as they are ready. Please stay tuned!

We have noticed that after the 1.0.15 patch update. All newly established squad in dedicated servers and official servers will be disbanded after the server restart. We will fix this issue by having an update on Nov. 28 7:00 - 8:00 UTC.

Important:
1. After the update, all new squads established after Nov. 24 8:00 UTC will be disbanded again, you will have to create the squad again.
2. We are still working on the solo/hosted squad problem, and we will make further announcement once we have any development.

We are truly sorry for the bad gaming experience caused by this issue, and we will try to avoid anything like this in the future.

Besides this, the client version number will still be 1.0.16, the maintenance time for this update could be postponed due to unexpected technical issues. Thank you so much for your support!
