Season 2 is coming to an end, for those who still have an ongoing Battle Pass, now is the time to finish it! For those just wanting more information about season 3, just keep reading!

Most of our features are shaping up nicely, we did however feel that certain features needed a bit more time to be fleshed out better and required some more testing. That is why we have pushed back a few of the planned changes.

After our previous Developer Update, we noticed that not everyone was looking forward to the ability to buy previous battle passes. Before the release of this feature, we will create a dedicated blog post to explain how it works exactly and why purchasing and finishing the Battle Pass during its own season certainly has its advantages!

We are also working on a blog post to explain how chat moderation will work and how to join the chat moderation team!.

In the developer blogs, we share all the tasks that we have completed in the past few weeks, which features are currently being tested, are still being worked on and of course all the bugs that we have squashed! We will end each developer blog with a short look at what we will be working on in the upcoming weeks.

We will not always be able to share all the details of our work. Some items are too far in the future to talk about already. Certain tasks contain internal information that we just cannot share. Every once in a while, we might be working on something we want to surprise you with! We will do our best to be as transparent as we can!

Be advised that not every feature that we have completed will be deployed in the upcoming release. Some features are part of larger updates that will be released further into the future.

• Created chat-moderation guide
  
• Created chat-moderation tools and role
  
• White smoke for planes (non-battle pass)
  
• Improved the ‘Supplies Received’ pop-up for better visuals and improved functionality

Note: Features that are Done are often part of larger updates planned on specific dates and may not be immediately available.

• Battle Pass S3 rewards

• Change capital cities for the upcoming season
  
• Change several battlefield types on the war map (more airfields)
  
• Add two small scripted events in the First encounter missions for a more interesting experience
  
• Ability to reactivate/purchase previous Battle Passes

• Fixed an issue with the soldier purchase screen, a general shows as only having 2 Command Points
  
• Fixed an issue with veteran membership, in some cases 2 or more veteran memberships would activate at the same time
  
• Fixed an issue with localisation, XP boosters showed a wrong string of text

Note: Bugs that have been fixed are often part of larger updates planned on specific dates and may not be immediately available.

• Battle Pass S3 rewards
  
• Several (delayed) features for the mid-season release

• Testing & Bug fixes!

You have been fighting and unlocking rewards during Season 2 and it is soon coming to an end. Not only does that mean Season 3 will be upon us in the near future, it also means your time is running out to finish the Battle Pass!

Season 2 ends 28th November 2022 at 10AM CET.

When you purchase the Battle Pass, you instantly get access to the rewards of tier 1.Throughout the season players can unlock Tier 2 through 11 by either playing the game or by purchasing the tiers.The last tier could so far only be unlocked by playing the game. We saw in the last few seasons that some users run short just before finishing their Battle Pass.From this season on, during the last 14 days of a Battle Pass, it is now possible to purchase the final tier. This way you will be able to complete your battle pass at the end of a season if you are missing a few experience points!

Team up with your friends for Single’s Day* and gear up!

The Mid-Season Update is here in time for Hallowar and with it a new tutorial system to allow new and existing users to learn the ropes and be rewarded. Get the Hallowar bloody bat skins and get up close and personal with your enemy. Enjoy better visibility in the heat of the battle and much more!Keep reading to find out all about the update and the new tutorials below!

For this mid-season update one of our main focuses is the new user experience.We are introducing a 3-layered tutorial system which is designed to take players, new and old, on a journey through Heroes & Generals’ many systems and mechanics.Career Orders can be found on the right hand side of your soldier screen.Our mission is to unveil the complexity of Heroes & Generals at a good pace and showcase the unique opportunities you have in the game, while not making them mandatory to follow.
Introduction Video
A new introduction video is shown to new players when launching the game for the first time. It’s a short and sweet 90 second video highlighting the unique aspects of Heroes & Generals and gives the new user a clear goal of reaching war mode.

If you are curious about the video take a look here!
Tutorials
The tutorials are written explanations of many of the features Heroes & Generals has to offer. This can be anything from equipping a weapon or changing between soldiers ingame. Many tutorials have Career Orders attached and can be viewed by pressing the sergeant icon inside Career Orders. You can find all tutorials in
Career Orders
Career Orders can be found on the right hand side of your soldier screen. These are tasks you can complete and earn credits, Soldier XP boosters and several Ribbon Boosters.

• The amount of smoke that infantry guns produce has been decreased to help you to keep your eyes on the prize.
• We also took a look at the blood splatter effect when you are hit and have tweaked it to never obscure the middle of your screen.
• Enemy soldier headgear is now shown in the kill message.
• AI Soldier difficulty has been increased in the Encounter gamemode.

• Players can now view the Strategy Map before unlocking the gamemode.
• It is no longer possible to initiate a new battle immediately after losing one. Assault Teams on the losing side moving to the battlefield of the battle that just ended, will now retreat back to their previous location without suffering from retreat penalties.
• The deploy cost increase after a war victory has been lowered from 5% to 4,75%

• When making a purchase in the store a confirmation box will now appear to avoid misclicks.
• Command points are now visible in the soldier purchase window.
• Equipping a crate to a vehicle no longer unequips camo netting on armored vehicles or machine guns on infantry vehicles.
• When a staged battle is found, you now see what city you are near on the RTS-Minimap and the battlefield is highlighted with a crosshair.

Bloody bat skins are now available for purchase for the remainder of Season 2, get yours while they are available and swing your way to victory!In addition to the bloody bat skins, we will be running a spooky screenshot contest when we get closer to Hallowar. Stay tuned!

“Change the line squad leader!”

“Just get a second character!”

“Do you even know how to play!”

Do these words sound familiar to you, or have you perhaps used them yourself? In our upcoming update, we are looking to remedy this with the introduction of Tutorials and Career Orders.


Not everyone has the same amount of experience when it comes to shooter games. Some people have been playing shooters all their lives, while others are brand new to the genre. Not just that, Heroes & Generals is more than just firing your gun, there are many unique elements not found in other games.

We have our Fandom-page, our discord and other external sources where you can find information or ask others for help. They have a lot of information, but finding the right information takes some effort. We believe that having Tutorials and Career Orders available ingame will lower the point of entry for many, which is our goal with these features.

The simplest way to explain the difference between Tutorials and Career orders, is that you read tutorials and you do career orders.

We currently have 28 Tutorials and 46 Career Orders ready to be completed, with the possibility of adding more in the future.

As some of you may remember, a while ago we removed the career options from the UI to make place for ‘something new’. Now, we can finally introduce what we have been working on!

The Career Orders are a set of simple objectives to complete. Equip a weapon, recruit another soldier, buy a vehicle and many others. Upon completion, every order gives a small reward (mostly credits and sometimes a booster).



In the image above, you may notice that one of the Orders has an icon that looks like a drill sergeants head, in the lower-right corner. When pressing this button, a short tutorial will open. More on that in the next chapter!

Tutorials come in two shapes. Some tutorials are triggered by certain actions of the player. The example below shows a tutorial which is triggered the first time you have 2 or more characters available in your roster and shows you how to swap between soldiers



Other tutorials can be started manually, by pressing the drill sergeant on Career Orders. In this example you get a short tutorial on how to equip a weapon. Some tutorials contain only 1 page, others contain several pages.



If you have already completed all tutorials, but want to refresh your memory, you can find all tutorials through our options menu! Simply press the cogwheel in the upper right corner of the Client. Go to Help and click on ‘Browse Tutorial’. Here you can find all our tutorials!



This and more will be available to you in our upcoming Mid-Season Update!

The Summer Holidays have come and passed, everyone is back at work and the number of Developer Blogs we bring out will increase again. In the past weeks, we have steadily been moving towards our next mid-season release. Many of our features have finished or are close to finishing and have entered the testing phase.
