Factions
- Added GSK faction and its sensible announcer: HQ.
– These elite operators from Germany’s Border Protection Command’s Team Rainbow specialize in crowd control and territory security. They can deploy electrified barbed wire for area denial, counter incoming enemy gadgets with their active defense system, and dazzle multiple enemies with lightning charges mounted on their G52-Tactical Shield ultra. Call them Grenzschutzkommando because it’s fun and also accurate. - Echelon Intelligence Suit cooldown increased from 30s to 40s.
- The cooldown of the Ghosts' Magnetic Barrier has been adjusted from 30 to 40 seconds. The HP of the Magnetic Barrier has also been reduced from 500 to 400.
- The Ghosts' AEGIS now takes damage from EMP grenades (throw six to put it out of action).
- DedSec Hijack cooldown reduced from 28 seconds (plus the remaining duration of the hacked ability) to 20 seconds (plus the remaining duration of the hacked ability).
– For example, let’s say a magnetic barrier has 7 seconds remaining and is hacked: the cooldown becomes 20 plus 7 seconds. Meanwhile, the cooldown of Failed Hijack is reduced from 8 seconds to 5 seconds. - DedSec Spiderbot cooldown increased from 25s to 40s.
- Spiderbot behavior has been adjusted so that multiple Spiderbots will no longer attempt to hug the same face, or continue to ignore faces they have hugged multiple times recently. Some give and take from the Spiderbot realm.
- Freedom's BioLife Boost cooldown reduced from 25s to 20s.
- Fixed Liberty's Supreme Medic to no longer despawn after the player he deploys respaws as a different faction.
Maps
- The new Clubhouse map has been added, a two-story hangout popular with international operators. Ideal for close- and medium-range firefights. Home to the Domination, Occupation, Hot Shot, and new CTF game modes.
Game modes
- Capture the Flag, hereafter referred to as CTF, has been added. For the uninitiated: You take the enemy's flag from their base and bring it back to your own, while protecting your team's flag. CTF is available on a variety of maps.
