Black Shark takes inspiration from our White Shark Special Operation. In fact, it's a homage to this popular tower raid, but we're pushing things forward with the gameplay and technical advances we've made since we released that mission. It certainly captures an essence of the gameplay in White Shark, but we've a few new surprises to take on.
The classic TDM Farm map was replaced with its Halloween version – TDM Cemetery in Quickplay. Normal TDM Farm and Farm Sunset are still available as custom rooms.
New weapons

After hours spent on the front line, fighting the good fight against Blackwood at every opportunity, you deserve some special recognition! So… we've decided to hand out the legendary Veteran stripe again. Show off your experience with a stripe exclusively for our most hard-boiled soldiers!
How do I get it?
There are two possibilities: either you were an early recruit who was part of the Warface Closed Beta and have at least 20 hours of gameplay experience in your locker, or you have at least 200 hours of experience and signed in during the last month.
The Clan Challenge is already underway, but you still have more than enough time to gather the points that will help you outscore other clans, claim the top spot on the leaderboard and get your hands on the best rewards this month!
To help you out, the Warface HQ has decided to TRIPLE the Clan Points you get as a reward after each Clan War match you play, letting you earn 30 times more Clan Points in Clan War mode compared to any other Warface game mode – but only THIS WEEKEND! Don't miss your last minute chance to conquer new positions in the Clan Ladder, soldiers!
When?
EU & TR [CEST]: Friday, October 14th, 12:00 PM – Sunday, October 16th, 11:59 PM NA [EDT]: Friday, October 14th, 12:00 PM – Sunday, October 16th, 11:59 PM
The new Plant the Bomb map 'Pyramid' has arrived in Warface and the Warface HQ has decided to grant fantastic rewards to soldiers braving the deadly and ancient secrets during this weekend.
Every hour during the PTB Pyramid Weekend, we will randomly choose 3 players. The selected recruits will receive access to the following:
Rewards:
Dewnfield R65E4 for 7 Days
Fararm LTR 6 for 7 Days
CCR Honey Badger for 7 Days
SAE Scout for 7 Days
25 Anti-Personnel Mines
*To be eligible you will need to be part of a team that played and won a Plant the Bomb match on Pyramid during the event time frame.
Each match you win during the weekend will increase your chance to receive the reward!
Hence we advise you to play (and win!) as many games as you can to keep the rewards from falling into your competitors' hands. The prize can only be received once per player. Should a player be selected twice, the system will randomly pick another winner.
When?
Friday, October 7th 12:00 PM – Sunday, October 9th 9:59 PM [UTC]
Where?
Servers: EU, TR, and NA Mode: Plant the Bomb mode, new Pyramid map only – Clan wars excluded

Get ready to test your skills in a brand new PvP arena and sample the pure power of three new weapons as our October update hits today. Read on to discover exactly what's new.
New PTB map – Pyramid
If you've tested your mettle in our Anubis Co-op mission, you should feel right at home when you get down to business in PTB Pyramid. Our newest plant the bomb map takes you back to the deserts of North Africa for a deadly PvP duel that's guaranteed to go off with a bang. With opportunities for each class to make a strategic impact, and a cyborg horde waiting to break out at the plant sites, there's plenty to play for.
New weapons
Smashing Blackwood's elite troops takes tactics and teamwork. But it doesn't hurt to have some serious firepower either. Thankfully, Warface HQ has been hard at work on a trio of badass new weapons for Snipers and Medics who like to get a little more bang for their buck.
SVK-AS
Both versions of the SVK-AS Sniper Rifle will be available for purchase for Warface Dollars via a Random Box.
SX-41
The SX-41 Shotgun will be available for purchase directly in the in-game shop for Warface Dollars.
Silent boot fix
We have fixed the sound issue with silent boots cancelling all noises. Now, only the sound of footsteps will be reduced/cancelled. All other sounds (gear, arming/disarming bombs) will be active.
Game client optimization
We've optimized the following maps to improve performance on low-end hardware (especially integrated Intel HDxxxx GPUs).
Hideout
TDM Oil Depot
TDM Hangar 2.0
PTB D17
STM Blackgold
Bug fixes and other changes
More game client optimizations, new achievements (over 50!), and a lot, lot more – it's all incoming, so we've prepared a detailed overview of all the other changes and bug fixes in the full patch notes. You'll find them in our brand new HUB Patch Notes section.
The latest game update will wow you with new Co-op missions, smoking guns, and our new Crysis-inspired Nanosuit style skins!
New PvE missions
Our new Co-op maps, based in our Africa setting, will come in 2 different variants and feature wide open spaces, narrow caves, and dangerous passages. The missions will combine vertical with horizontal gameplay and culminate in an arena-like drilling area perfect for up close and personal showdowns. The heat is on in these hot new maps.
New weapons
And a Warface update wouldn't be a Warface update without adding yet more cool new weapons to the already expansive Warface arsenal!
Inspired by the pistol made in the Czech Republic and firstly introduced in 1986, the WX-86 handgun features a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer forged barrel. Say hello, to our not so little friend.
The TT-3000 is inspired by a Russian submachine gun, designed as a close-quarter combat weapon for Police and Special Forces alike. Experience the devastating power of one of the two standard SMGs which Russian police use as standard issue. No messing about here.
Nanosuit up!
The legendary Crysis Nanosuit hits Warface!
The iconic battle gear that has seen service in four epic Crysis games is coming to Warface in the form of unique new character skins. Whether you're a Rifleman, Medic, Sniper, or Engineer, there's a Nanosuit just for you.
Want to get your hands on one? Of course you do. The Nanosuit skin is exclusive to the Auction House, so get down there and get bidding.
What's your zodiac sign?
Are you spontaneous and daring like an Aries or reliable and modest as a Virgo. No matter what sign you were born under – we've got an achievement for everyone. Check our shop to find your perfect mark and pimp your loading screen even further with the mystical Zodiac badge and stripe.
Gameplay changes and improvements
As part of our journey to make Warface the most action-packed and fair place for everyone, we are introducing two exciting new features for Ranked Games:
Surrender Option: Want to leave a game but can't handle the incoming ban? You'll now be able to initiate a surrender vote after 30 seconds if you think that you stand no chance against your opponents. But you won't be needing the white flag now, will you warrior?
Win-Streak Bonus: Now you will be awarded more points the more ranked matches you win in a row. Got skills? Accelerate your ascent to higher ranks without having to fight lower ranking players for too long. And if you're a lower ranked player yourself, you'll fight those highly skilled contestants less often, so this change will make the Ranked mode a more balanced experience.
Bug Fixes and other changes
Game client optimisations, new instant rewards, and a lot, lot more – it's all incoming, so we've prepared a detailed overview of all the other changes and bug fixes in the full patch notes. Head over to the forum.

No matter if you prefer to spend your summer holidays in a palace or at the beach, Warface has got you covered. With hot maps, smoking weapons, and plenty of cool gun skins, we're turning up the heat with our latest game update!
Beautiful Death Awaits You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM3WglqXFrc Palace is a medium-size Plant the Bomb map set in a sheikh's palace in the Middle East, but don't let the elaborate and beautiful architecture of this mansion distract you. You need a well-prepared battle plan, or your enemies will eradicate you and claim victory for themselves.
New weapons and skins
We will be adding two new weapons to the Warface arsenal, as well as more weapon skins! If your favorite way of waging war is as a Rifleman, you won't want to go into battle without the destructive power of the new Dewnfield R65E4, a custom three round burst British bullpup assault rifle.
Stealthy Snipers are treated with the brand new S60E3. This heavy bolt-action sniper rifle is based on a Richmond Rifle with .308 bolt face and widely used by the US Marine Corps.
Our newly added weapon skins will give you plenty of customization options. Show your foes why they should never forget who's behind the bullets.
Life's a beach!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlUNk7OLFnc We know TDM Hangar is one of the community's favorite maps, and as the best athletes from across the world head to Brazil, we've decided to give it a sporty makeover. Don't forget to pack the sunscreen!
With a festival of athletics soon to be in full swing in Brazil, we've unleashed a set of new Jogos 2016 guns for you to go for gold with. Let the games begin!
Gameplay changes and improvements
As we continue to make Warface even more fun and fair for everyone, we will introduce 2 exciting new features for our popular Ranked Games:
Seasons: you'll now be able to clearly see when a season starts and ends and the rewards you'll be entitled to at the end of the season. The rewards will also be granted automatically.
