CTE 1.7 - Play with the Devs (Round 2) Starts Now!

In anticipation of our upcoming 1.7: Nightfall update, our Play with the Devs event ROUND 2 is happening NOW from 11:00 AM MST - 12:00 PM MST on the Community Test Environment.

Help test upcoming content for Operation: Nightfall on the Community Test Environment:
  • New map: Tideway
  • 5 New weapons
  • Night versions of all existing maps including Tideway
  • Night Equipment - NVG, Infrared Laser, Infrared Flashlight, Flashlight weapon upgrades, Night-vision Scopes
  • New Cosmetics
  • And much more

To play with us, go to your Steam Library and download “Insurgency: Sandstorm Community Test Environment." Boot up the CTE, and please set matchmaking regions to US East. We'll be focusing on Tideway (day map version) in Co-op today!
Click Play, select Co-op, Tideway Normal, Hardcore and/or Frenzy and Find Match. All of the devs won’t necessarily be in one game, but you’ll see us floating around your matches!

During the CTE, we will be restricting the playlists to focus solely on the new content.

Please note that all devs will have a DEV tag next to their name in-game. Anyone posing as a dev without the DEV tag is not an NWI developer.

If you have any questions about the new content coming in Update 1.7: Nightfall, please go here. After playing, please fill out this survey. The only other place the team will be funneling feedback is on our Steam CTE Sub-Forum. Please ensure to use the search function in the Sub Forum to see if your feedback/question has already been posted, and stick to ONE topic per thread.

See you soon!
