1st Infantry Combat Overhaul Playtest

As we have recently announced in our Infantry Combat Overhaul blog (https://joinsquad.com/2023/06/08/infantry-combat-overhaul/) we will be running a series of playtests through the month of June and possibly further.

  • We will be running the first playtest on Saturday, June 17, 2023 11:00 AM to Monday, June 19, 2023 11:00 AM (PST Timezone)
  • You can join into the game at the indicated time on the Squad - Public Testing game that's right under Squad in your Steam Library listing (default branch).
  • Please make sure to clear your cache to avoid bugs / unintended behavior / performance issues.
  • The content that you will see is a work in progress and subject to changes.
  • Once you have gotten familiar with the changes we’d like to invite you to fill out the feedback form on the main menu to let us know how you feel about the experience. Your impressions and comments will be of great help for us to finetune the overhaul.


A few things to keep in mind during the playtest:

  • Weapon tuning is subject to change, pending feedback.
  • Current performance is not representative of the final product.
  • Harsh transitions when entering / exiting ADS are being addressed / work-in-progress.
  • FSR is temporarily disabled due to bugs related to several visual aspects of the Combat Overhaul.
  • To avoid bugs, please do not modify your anti-aliasing settings while in ADS with a PiP scope.
  • When your FOV is set higher than 90, switching to a weapon with a PiP scope can break the apparent size of the weapon on your screen. When this happens, this behavior will carry over to other inventory items, such as your pistol. To address this, enter ADS at least once with a weapon with a PiP scope.
  • The RPG-28 has not been configured yet. All other weapons for the US and RGF factions have been configured, and are valid to give feedback on.
  • Our fix for the 4.5 issue where a reload animation would be played while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle and where a soldier would appear in front of helicopter pilots while flying did not make into the build. Please be aware of it.
