It’s an exciting time for the team as we continue to work on Thunder Tier One, a brand new top-down tactical shooter where players lead an elite task force charged with neutralizing terrorist operatives in fictional Eastern European country Salobia.
Many of you will have gotten your first taste of Thunder Tier One through the Gameplay Preview held in December 2020, and we’re delighted to offer fans a chance to experience two brand new game modes as well as a new campaign mission - and share their valuable feedback!
From
Thursday 29 July 11:00 CEST / 02:00 PDT / 18:00 KT until
Sunday 1 August 18:00 CEST / 09:00 PDT / 01:00 KST, we will be hosting a Gameplay Preview Bravo where a limited number of players have another opportunity to enter the Thunder Tier One world and see what we have been working on.

Game modes[/h3]
Gameplay Preview Bravo will showcase two brand new game modes where players will have to combine strategic thinking with an array of weapons and accessories to meet the challenging objectives.
[h3]Exfil[/h3]
10-player PVP
A 5v5 mode where the defending team must prevent the attacking team from exfiltrating a package. Each match consists of 10 rounds, with teams switching roles half way through. The first team to win six rounds wins the match.
The attacking team wins the round if the package is successfully exfiltrated or if the defending team are all eliminated. The defending team wins the round if the round timer runs out before the package is exfiltrated or if the attacking team is eliminated.
[h3]Domination[/h3]
4-player coop PVE
Race against the clock to capture a series of checkpoints from enemy AI, disarm explosive devices, and defend against potential counter-attacks. Once an objective is complete, either a checkpoint captured or an explosive device disarmed, a resupply box will become available. Players lose if the timer runs out before all objectives are completed or if they are all eliminated.

New Campaign mission[/h3]
For the first time fans will be able to play third campaign mission Blue Typhoon, where the Thunder Tier One team finds itself at the heart of enemy territory investigating a new lead.
[h3]Blue Typhoon[/h3]
Salobia is overrun with the dangerous terrorist network wreaking havoc throughout the cities, towns and villages of the once safe country. A lack of stable infrastructure has allowed the group to operate in the shadows, posing a severe threat to every one of the nation’s citizens.
Key evidence suggests that the terrorists are funding their activities by forcing refugees to smuggle contraband into Salobia. The product in question is being transported through the old industrial district, which was almost entirely abandoned when the USSR collapsed.
The Thunder Team is deployed to a scrap yard suspected to be the centre of the criminal activities - as well as harboring both enemy operatives and key evidence. They are required to storm the building to investigate, but must do so strategically as enemy units patrol the area and guard the building’s many entry points.

Updated Campaign missions[/h3]
Based on community feedback, user interface, AI behaviours, game audio, map visibility, mission balance and more have all been tweaked.
[h3]Silver Dew[/h3]
A high value target is held up in an apartment building being guarded by enemy forces. Outside a roadblock has been set up and there are enemy patrols all throughout the area.
Thunder operatives have to figure out how to get past the patrols, past the roadblock, infiltrate the building, and capture the target. Once they’ve done all that they still need to fight their way out while keeping the HVT safe for long enough for an extraction team to arrive.
[h3]Cold Stone[/h3]
Deep in the mountains, terrorist forces have stockpiled weapons and ammo and are holding a civilian hostage. Enemies patrol the woods that cover the mountain and have guards posted at multiple fortified positions, including a network of caves that run through the mountainside itself.
Thunder operatives must destroy the weapon and ammo caches hidden in these fortified locations, rescue the hostage, and escort them to safety.
