Warface News

[p]Friends![/p][p]Get ready for the darkest time of the year! A new event is now live in the game, bringing fresh rewards and a spooky atmosphere.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Halloween Event[/h2][h3]PvP[/h3][p]Team mode with asymmetric gameplay. Survivors must last until the end of the 4-minute round and avoid being turned into zombies. Zombies must infect all survivors. When infected, a player becomes a zombie and fights against former teammates.[/p][p][/p][p]At the start of each round, three infected are chosen at random from among the humans. They’re warned in advance that they’re infected and will soon turn into zombies. During the match, power-ups will spawn for both sides: they help survivors hold out until the end, and give the infected extra pressure to break through the humans’ resistance.[/p][p]Survivor power-ups[/p]

• [p]Gunslinger — a self-charging revolver with increased damage against zombies.[/p]
• [p]Gravedigger — turns its owner into a zombie-slayer armed with a powerful entrenching shovel. Killing zombies restores health.[/p]
• [p]Juggernaut — a six-barrel minigun and a blast-resistant suit that can turn the tide in the final seconds.[/p]

[p]Zombie power-ups[/p]

• [p]Common Zombie — a fast runner with increased health. Dangerous, but easy to deal with.[/p]
• [p]Kamikaze — same base stats as the Common Zombie, but leaves a cloud of toxic gas upon death. Don’t let it get close.[/p]
• [p]Heavy Zombie — slower, but with more health. Works in tandem with other zombies and soaks up incoming fire.[/p]
• [p]Zombie with a Tomahawk or Gas Grenade — on top of speed and a terrifying look, these specimens have evolved to use extra weapons.[/p]

[p]Scoring[/p][p]Each player earns personal points based on performance: zombies get credit for eliminations, assists, and teamwork, while humans are graded on survival time until the round ends. You can put up strong personal stats even if your team loses. Survivors on the winning side also receive bonus points.[/p][p]Holiday maps[/p][p]The event will take place on holiday versions of Motel, Widestreet, and Relic. Expect ghosts, pumpkins, and an eerie green glow. Keep an ear out — there are plenty of jump scares to spook inattentive opponents![/p][h3]Event Special Operations[/h3][p]For completing Special Operations on any difficulty, you’ll receive event currency in addition to Crowns. There’s no cap — event currency is awarded for every completion.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Rewards[/h2][p]In this event you can earn a guaranteed reward for reputation points and purchase items from the Showcase.[/p][h3]Showcase and progress bar[/h3][p]On the progression Showcase, you can collect weapon cards from the mystical series, which includes the Type 97, Chiappa Triple Threat, FAMAE SAF-200, and M14 Crazy Horse. You can unlock them permanently by accumulating 2000 weapon cards.[/p][p]The Showcase will also feature new outfits. You can unlock them permanently by accumulating 3000 outfit cards.[/p][p]How the Showcase works[/p]

• [p]Use the button to refresh the Showcase offers. Refreshing costs event currency.[/p]
• [p]The Showcase refreshes automatically every 24 hours.[/p]
• [p]Each manual refresh fills the progress bar.[/p]
• [p]At 100% progress, you’ll receive an exclusive offer — the chance to claim one of five valuable items for free.[/p]
• [p]After you pick one item, the remaining exclusive items become unavailable, the progress bar resets, and you can fill it again to get a new offer.[/p]
• [p]There’s no limit to how many exclusive offers you can earn.[/p]
• [p]If you can’t farm enough currency, you can purchase more. The event store offers bundles of 300, 800, 2200, or 5000 Black Market coins.[/p]

[p]Duplicate conversion system[/p][p]A new duplicate conversion system has been added to the Showcase — it’s an extra source of Parts. If you get an item you already own, it’s automatically converted into Parts. The amount depends on the item’s value. This mechanic does not apply to card-based items.[/p][p]Guaranteed reward[/p][p]There’s also a guaranteed reward — complete event contracts to earn reputation points: accumulate 4000 reputation to receive unique achievements![/p][p]Stickers[/p][p]Stickers have arrived in Warface! Now you can highlight your weapon’s personality and stand out on the battlefield not only with skill, but with style. Stick a good-luck charm on your gun or go cute with an avatar — it’s up to you![/p][p]The first batch of stickers is already here. We’re starting small to improve the system based on your feedback. At launch, the feature will be available for three weapon models: A-545, PA EG240, and MSMC.[/p][hr][/hr][p]Good luck on the battlefield![/p]

The autumn season is already waiting for you, with numerous rewards available in the Battle Pass and for in-game achievements.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Questions & Answers[/h2][p]For whom is Warface available on Steam?[/p][p]The game is available in the Steam store for the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.[/p][p]Is it possible to transfer progress from VK Play to Steam?[/p][p]No. Transferring current progress is not possible. If you want to play on Steam, you will need to create a new account. However, if you played on Steam before and did not transfer your account to VK Play, your progress is saved, and you can continue playing. We explain this in more detail in this guide.[/p][p]Can I register on Steam using an existing VK Play account to access my current progress?[/p][p]No. To play via Steam, you need to create a new account. But if you previously played on Steam and did not transfer your account to VK Play, you will be able to continue playing on your old account. We explain this in more detail in this guide.[/p][p]Can users from Steam and the VK Play Game Center play together?[/p][p]All Warface players, regardless of whether they launch the game through Steam, the VK Play platform, or Astrum Play, are on the same servers, which means unified matchmaking and joint battles.[/p][p]Is the game free to play?[/p][p]Yes. As before, anyone can download and play Warface for free.[/p][p]How can I make purchases on Steam?[/p][p]Purchases on Steam are made in the same way as in other products on this platform. Please note that payment with Russian cards and payment systems may be restricted due to the platform's own requirements.[/p][p]Can Steam players fully use the Warface website? [/p][p]Yes, if we are talking about content and services on the ru.warface.com domain, but there are exceptions. Services such as "Express Reserve" and "Gift to a Friend" will be unavailable for Steam players. [/p]

[h2]Important information[/h2][p]Transferring progress from existing VK Play and Astrum Play accounts to Steam is not possible. To start playing on Steam, you need to create a new account, linking it to an Astrum Play account. However, there are specific details in some cases. You will find the details in the news article below.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Quick Guide for New Players[/h2][p]If you are a new player, go to the project's page on Steam and log in to download Warface. After logging in, the game will be available to launch.[/p][h3]To log in:[/h3][p]1. Click the "Play" button in the Steam client.[/p][p]2. Create an account or enter your login details in the Astrum Play authorization window that appears (this is only required for the first login).[/p][h3]Important:[/h3][p]· At this stage, your game account on Steam is linked to your Astrum Play account — this is a necessary step to ensure account security and gain access to all the project's services.[/p][p]· Authorization is only required the first time you launch the game.[/p][p]· The email address used for registration will also be needed to log into the official Warface website and the technical support portal.[/p][p]· You can create a new Astrum Play account or use an existing one if it was created no more than 7 days ago (more on this later).[/p][h3]Please also note that:[/h3][p]· You cannot link multiple Steam accounts to a single Astrum Play account.[/p][p]· You cannot link a Steam account to an Astrum Play account if it is already in use for linking to our other services.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]If you are launching Warface on Steam for the first time[/h2][h3]Don't have an Astrum Play account? Let's create one and link it to Steam![/h3]

1. [p]You need to create a new Astrum Play account by clicking the "Create Account" button.[/p]
2. [p]In the window that appears, you must enter the email address that will be linked to your Warface account on Steam. It is important that this email has not been used by you before for registering and playing Warface.[/p]
3. [p]A verification code will be sent to the specified email address. You need to enter this code in the field.[/p]
4. [p]Next, you need to create a password and confirm it. Remember your password! You will need it if you want to visit the game's website or contact technical support.[/p]
5. [p]After this, your Astrum Play account will be created, your Warface account on Steam will be linked to it, and you will be able to launch the game.[/p]

[h3]Already have an Astrum Play account? Let's just link it to Steam![/h3][p]If you already have an Astrum Play account that has either never been used for Warface registration or was created less than 7 days ago, it is suitable for linking to your Steam account.[/p]

1. [p]In the window that appears, enter your email address and click "Continue".[/p]
2. [p]Next, enter your password and click "Log In".[/p]
3. [p]As a result, your Warface account on Steam will be linked to your Astrum Play account, and you will be able to launch the game.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]Account created. What's next?[/h2][p]Now that you have a Steam account with a linked Astrum Play account, you can log into the game with a single click at any time.[/p][p]If you need to use services on the project's website or create a ticket for technical support, use your Astrum Play account to log in to our resources. If you forget your account password, you can always recover it on this page.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]If you have played Warface on Steam before[/h2][p]The information below concerns players who had already played Warface on Steam prior to 2022. The sequence of actions in this case depends on whether such an account was transferred to VK Play or not.[/p][h3]Account was transferred to VK Play in 2022[/h3][p]In 2022, all players had the opportunity to transfer their accounts from Steam to VK Play on a special promo page. If you took advantage of this, you cannot transfer that same account back to Steam, but you can continue playing in the VK Play Game Center.[/p][p]If you still want to start playing on Steam, you need to create a new account by following the guide above.[/p][h3]Account was NOT transferred to VK Play in 2022[/h3][p]If you previously played Warface on Steam but did not transfer this account to VK Play, it will still be accessible, and your progress will be preserved. However, you need to complete a few simple steps.[/p][p]Upon the first launch, the game will prompt you to create an alternative login method for the account previously used to play on Steam. This will be either VK Play or Astrum Play, depending on your account's history.[/p]

1. [p]If prompted to use VK Play, in the window that opens, you should choose a convenient login method (VK ID or Mail.ru email) and confirm it. You can use an existing one or create a new one if that is more convenient for you. In this case, be sure to remember the login and password, as you may need them later.[/p]
2. [p]If prompted to use Astrum Play, you simply need to create a new account using any email address that hasn't been previously registered in Warface. Refer to the guide provided above for this.[/p]

[p]In both cases, after logging into the game on Steam following the account linking, you will see your old Steam character with all progress intact.[/p][h3]Transfer was completed, but via customer support[/h3][p]Some players missed the transfer period on the promo page and later contacted VK Play support to request adding a VK ID alternative login method to their Steam account. They can now use their current VK Play account to log into the game via Steam. However, please be aware that the type of authorization determines the available functionality, including payment methods and access to certain services.[/p][p]If you prefer this option, please ensure you enter the credentials for the correct VK Play account. Please note: such an account most likely already has a Steam account linked to it.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Please note[/h2][h3]Linking to Steam is available for 7 days after account creation[/h3][p]As mentioned earlier, you cannot log into the official Warface website directly using your Steam account. For this, you need to use the VK Play or Astrum Play account associated with your Steam account.[/p][p]We understand this might be challenging for new players who wish to, for example, use new player bonuses or participate in promo events. Therefore, we have implemented a seven-day period during which a new Astrum Play account can be linked to a Steam account.[/p][p]In other words: if you registered on the Warface promo page, immediately created a new Astrum Play account, and started participating in an event to claim gifts, you still have the opportunity to link the game to a Steam account that hasn't been used to play Warface before. However, this must be done within 7 days of registration.[/p][h3]Game website services and technical support[/h3][p]To use the services available on the game's website, you need to log in using the Astrum Play or VK Play account linked to your Steam account. Almost all services will be available to you, with a few exceptions.[/p][p]For technical reasons, Steam players have restricted access to services requiring phone verification: "Gift to a Friend" and "Express Reserve." It also won't be possible to use local offers like SberSpasibo, Rostelecom Internet, and Dom.ru.[/p][p]If you have questions or encounter issues while creating an account, please contact Astrum Play technical support.[/p][p]If you face difficulties within the game, please contact Warface customer support — we will do our best to help![/p]
