Final Stability testing underway!

[h2]Steam Free playtest weekend is approaching! [/h2]

We are working on the final details and closing off a few more bugs but we are excited to announce the steam playtest weekend will be going live approx 2 days from now

Barring any last minute emergencies launch time will be as follows!

Sat July 13th - 6am CEST (Friday July 12th 9pm PDT)

Don't forget to request access on our steampage asap to gain entry!

[h3]We need your feedback![/h3]

In addition to all the new features we will be asking for your feedback. Please don't hesitate to drop us a note, feedback and anything else you think might be relevant as well as a letting us know how you feel about the game with a thumb up or down!

As an intentionally small team we believe it takes time and a community to grow a game into something worthy of thousands of hours of game play. You can't do it overnight, you can't do it with a publisher and a release date looming and you can't fake it.

As a reminder of our commitment to players we invite you to come play for free this weekend. No strings attached. Then decide if there is value in our mission.

As always a huge shoutout to our community.. Without you guys we would be dead in the water.

Misultin team out!

Steam playtest Free play weekend approaching! July 13-14th. Sign Up now!

[h2]Attention all Operators! [/h2]

Our sources have confirmed the next Steam Playtest Free Play Weekend is approaching!

[h2]July 13-14th Exfil's latest update will go live [/h2]

This update should include a wide variety of updates, bug fixes, performance enhancements and new content.

Here is a quick summary of what to expect

New Game mode "Rogue"

1 Rogue team needs to cross the map and EXFIL while hunted by 1-3 teams with the objective of destroying the intel. Periodic RFID pings update the intel location for the Hunters. There are multiple copies of the intel.. As the rogues do you? Decoy? Punch through? Split and rush the gaps? Compared to military football our new game mode is just about ready for testing. We need your feedback to refine it.
New Projectile Simulation including penetration, ricochets, Bullet calibers

We are working through wrapping a few different layers on top of our basic bullet Ballistics including material penetration calculated by both thickness, material type and angle which necessarily leads to deflections and secondary penetration both of which can be the killing blow.

Damage reduction over distance and after penetration has also been added and currently about to start testing!

Body armour and Helmets have been added to the damage simulation to incrementally increase survivability. They will reduce the damage factor dramatically when you take hits in those areas.
Kit selection screen and weapon customization (Stage 1)
Team preparation screen and mission overview
A large variety of new scopes to further enhance the roles of various weapons
Added Iron sights option for all weapons
Body Armour and Helmet integration into the damage system
Integration of functional Doors into the world
Integration of power switches and power control system into the worlds
New Weapon sounds based off professionally record HK416 and MK17s
Upgraded and decoupled FSR and DLSS integrations including latest frame generation technology
Steam friends integration allowing friending in game from lobby
Fixed Join In Progress, Death and Spectator CAM to have more functionality
Added spotlight to Air drones allowing night spotting and tracking
Added Intel tracker and mission information to HUD / menu display
Added GPS notifications to better notify players of objective changes
