Hello everyone,

This week we celebrate as War Dust modding takes us to new and exciting battlefields. What amazing mod will be added to the Workshop next? As we fight on mod maps each weekend, everyone is invited to join the fun! War Dust mods are a great place to push your strategic combat skills to their limits but can also be a space to meet with friends and have a VR party (as long as you don't mind getting killed a lot). War Dust is about winning but also so much more.

This week we are highlighting some intense War Dust Mod gameplay on the Steam Store and are planning a special set of Custom Maps Events on Nov. 12 and 13. We think War Dust is the perfect place for creative modders to push the limits of combat scenarios including custom vehicles and custom characters. So, whether you just want to enjoy the diverse battlefields created by others, or you want to get into modding, War Dust is the game for you!

This weekend's Custom Maps Events will be epic with 1000 tickets per side! It's "must-play" War Dust Mods at their best!

Custom Maps Events are Saturdays and Sundays:

4 PM EST
10 PM CET
9 PM BST

Join the Custom Server (left side of menu) with the most players.

Hello! New WarDust update is up on steam!

Some of you probably noticed that in the last couple of days there was little update every day.
This post collects all features added recently plus new ones today.
So let's start.

- Added 4 new leaderboards.
1) Lifetime scores.
2) Monthly scores
3) Kills by knife only, monthly
4) Best killers against real players only. Amount of kills minus deaths (also from real players only) will be the score added to your stats. cleared monthly
We are not sure if this is final version, we might add different leaderboards or replace existing ones. Maybe monthly will be replaced to weekly ones. We will see. It's still getting its shape.
Your score will be uploaded to leaderboard only when there was more than 5 real players in the match. Score is synced when the match is over.
Please also note that we can detect anyone that will start to tinker with personal score to be at the top of the leaderboard. In that case perma ban will be applied for leaderboards feature. Play fair, win fair, have fun fair.
Please read the update to privacy policy agreement right at the start of the game

- Voice chat in game options will now mute your voice and others completely.

- Added possibility to mute any player in game (for example the one you don't really like ). Simply click on his/her name on the scoreboard. You will also see there, who is muted in their personal options.

- Spectator now will be muted (edited)

- Added various stats to score board.
1) Knife kills (total kills includes that figure). Please note that knife kills gives you 5 times more points.
2) Shot accuracy. Percentage of shots fired and shots that hit the enemy
3) Current player class icons
4) Speaker icon (muted/not muted)

- Further tweaks on spawn room and GUI

- Added experimental home base protection in Dubai (X and Y)

- Adjusted AWP collision, to prevent situations when you were not be able to shoot when gun was too close to other objects.

- Every throwable item (like frag etc.) will now be frame rate independent. That means throwing frags will always work correctly, even when your frame rate drops significantly (no more your own frag drops below your feet). Same should apply to pro loco.

- Added custom server admin panel. When you host your own server you can :
1) Send horn signal to others (for example to start league match)
2) Save finished match stats to text file.
3) Restart map/server any time you want.
4) Kick player out
5) Kill all players (I don't know why I added this, but maybe someone is sadist and might need it)

- Fixed Kaoh Kreik character controller bug. Issues with stairs etc. (apologize for that, I thought I fixed it last week, probably forgot to press save button)

- And cherry on the top. When player is killed with explosion, it will be thrown to the sky, screaming like a mad man
