New Regular Update! Landmines are back and so much more!

Hello everyone,

Landmines are back and so much more!


- Audio and visual changes on : knife (new model, new sounds, stab sound added) , parachute (animation of deployment, waving fabric during flying, extra sound fx) and blood effects tweaked

- Snipers got some love :
* Default AWP scope has controlled zoom. To change it, hold the gun with two hands and use climb buttons (left and right) to control the zoom level.
* Added deployable bush for cover (5 minutes life time) and big ladder to reach tricky places (they are on secondary weapon)

- Vehicles have now basic hand painted team decals (C for coalition, M for mercenaries)

- Added players steam avatar decals on player’s back. In the future there might be an option to turn it on or off. Bots have some default pictures (they might change)

- It’s possible now to see current custom server rooms opened in spawn room (Please note : you need to go back to the main menu to join them, also the list is refreshed only once at the match start atm)

- Added weapon stats to weapon selection screen (not finished)

-Now you can throw spawners for all deployable items like sandbags, barrels, ladders and bushes (not as far as frag grenade, also throw distances for each item might change!)

- Buffed grenade launcher (now it should be actually useful)

There were some performance issues on previous version and light is bit messed up. This will be looked after soon 🙂

I hope you will have good fun with new features 👊

New Landmines Update!

UPDATE: We have reverted to the last stable build before landmines update, due to bugs related to the new connection manager. We are working on fixing these and appreciate your patience. Thank you for playing War Dust!

Previous announcement:

Hello everyone,

-Added landmines to each class. Can be used against vehicles and infantry. It has 5 minutes of lifetime. Red ones should kill you (enemy's or yours), blue ones shouldn't (friendly). To arm it, just pull a pin (same as in frag grenade) and place it on the ground (make sure it’s placed red part up). Watch your steps! On night maps they should be emissive. They should also change color after you switch teams (spawned Blue should change to red and vice versa). It won't happen right away, but it should. For now landmines are available for each class, but it might change. They are not final, so bugs might occur also more features and tweaks will be added to them in following weeks.

-Added collision on tank turret, so it should be easier to hit the tank from the side.

-Frag grenades should cause little more damage to vehicles when exploded nearby

- New blood system, also not final yet.

-Major changes to room connection logic in netcode. This should fix: black screens, please waits, rooms when too many players and all these nasty things we were facing for years. No more patching, it's full rework of this code area.
