[p]It’s that time of the week again: let’s deep dive into our newest - and biggest - multiplayer map: CQB Powergun. Introduced with the latest Major Update, CQB Powergun is a massive map, with a variety of configurations, allowing you to enjoy close quarter intense skirmishes or more tactical approaches, with the more open outside zones. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]We first unveiled the map entitled only “CQB”. The addition of Powergun in its name is not just an aesthetic aspect: we wanted to keep our secret until the very end, for our most Airsoft passionate players who could have guessed the true nature of this map.[/p][p][/p][p]CQB Powergun is actually based on a real location, located in France. One of the most popular Airsoft spot in France, the Powergun Terrain is situated in the Parisian outskirts, in Orgemont, allows up to 50 players to experience the thrill of Airsoft in an exceptional environment, made of several buildings that used to be an abandoned orphanage, surrounded by a forest. The team organizes matches, scenarios and events, and you can rent equipment for instant fun if you don’t have your favorite gear or if you’re a beginner: this accessibility speaks to our heart, as we want Bodycam to also be easy to pick up and get into quickly.[/p][p][/p][p]As Airsoft fans, it was a no-brainer to try to include the map into Bodycam: it’s a fantastic, immersive experience with an eery atmosphere, packed with tactical opportunities for you to explore and master. So we’ve met with the owner and his son, and it clicked instantly. CQB Powergun will be in Bodycam.[/p][p][/p][p]This partnership is something special to us. We’re so proud to show you this map and see you play in it![/p][p][/p][p]Book your next Airsoft trip here and learn more about Powergun here and on Facebook[/p][p][/p][p]Localisation here[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p][/p][p]Now, that was quite the challenge: how to get it, technically, into our game? The Powergun team first sent us the plans of the building. And then it was time to take thousands of pictures. [/p][p][/p][p]It was a long process to reproduce as closely as possible the location. We even took pictures of the tags on the walls, as we wanted players to be able to recognize and compare the map with the real location. That was a real challenge: pictures, videos, drone, level design, scans, it’s CQB Powergun as in real life but with some twists and retakes to stick to the game DNA, and offer more gameplay options. [/p][p][/p][p]Our artists have worked on this map and it was not only long to reproduce the buildings, it took us a lot of time to fine-tune the details and the light, that is so important in such a huge map. It was incredibly interesting to think, design, and produce this map.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p][/p][p]Because of its wide variety of situations, it’s also a perfect map to have fun in Bodycam. Deathmatches and gun games feel like they are made to thrive in that kind of map, but we were also very surprised by the Hard Point mode and how the game is picking up buildings: it introduces very exciting, tense, and demanding situations.[/p][p][/p][p]To master the map: beware of the many vulnerability points, such as windows and doors, when you’re roaming outside. Learn the map. Explore it. And dominate it.[/p][p][/p][p]Good luck, Operators. We hope you will have a blast.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Greetings, Operators. [/p][p][/p][p]First, we wanted to thank you for taking the time to play our latest Major Update. And even more to take the time to report bugs and issues, it really helped the dev team. To our new soldiers: welcome. To our veterans: thank you for your patience.

[p][/p][p][/p][p]For what’s next, we’ll keep releasing hotfixes to address issues we’ve already identified. A batch of skin texture fixes (wrong colors or low-quality textures) is almost ready, but it needs a bit more time and will come in the next hotfix.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re also investigating a bug that prevents players from ranking up in Main Game. This will be one of our priorities for the next hotfix, which should arrive next week.[/p][p][/p][p]We also still have optimization work planned for Village, especially around the village center and the windmill. We know what needs to be done, and we’ll continue pushing patches in the coming weeks to improve stability and performance for this map.[/p][p][/p][p]And of course, feel free to report any additional issues. We’ll keep fixing as we go, while part of the team moves back to the content for the next Major Update.[/p][p][/p]
