[h2]The Engineer Class and Construction System[/h2]
One of the new features in Isonzo is the freebuilding construction options available to certain classes - in particular the Engineer. Lay down sandbags and barbed wire to fortify your positions or try and establish some cover for attacking allies. Full blog post here!

[h2]Officer Call-ins - Artillery, Gas, and Aviation[/h2]
In Isonzo the Officer class has access to three areas of support, which are targeted on flares fired by Officers or Mountaineers. Each type of support has a separate cooldown: you can use weaker call-ins more frequently, or wait to deploy the most powerful abilities. Read more about the three support branches: artillery, gas, and aviation.
