Soldiers!

Winter is here but battles in Warface are as heated as ever before. And this is great! On winter evenings, you will be kept warm by satisfying memories of the victories gained in the old year and, of course, by themed new items that we have prepared for you. "Xmas Hangar", a festive gun series, a special weapon charm and lots of achievements - soon in Warface!


Is this what you expected? We have updated the Christmas version of one of the most popular maps in the game. Snowball shootouts or Candy Knife battles will provide the right kind of a festive vibe. The Hangar is a great place to enjoy the usual dynamic gameplay and misbehave a bit.



Your task is invariably simple: destroy as many opponents as possible using any available means. Hide a mine behind a nice gift, make your enemies really happy with the surprise! But be on the alert - watch out and look under your feet. Rumor has it that iced containers are very slippery!



In addition, upon completing a match on this map, you will see a festive background on the statistics screen decorated with gifts and a Christmas tree. Naturally, wins on this map will be rewarded with special achievements. Collect the festive set and decorate your profile!




There can be no festivities without cool arms. In the next update, Warface will offer a festive weapon series "Glacier", which you can earn right now in a special event. The guns boast original looks and a colourful frosty animation. Beware, the arms are ice-cold, do not forget to put on gloves!




Killing blows made with these weapons will grant you sleek achievements!




You've probably noticed many little ducklings in various locations in Warface. And this is not for nothing! Ducks are cute little Easter eggs in the game. And now one of them will appear among the weapon charms. By mounting it on a gun, you will receive +100 to the holiday mood and +100 to luck in battles.



The list of weapons which can be customized with charms.


A special set of achievements awaits true fans of Warface and winter holidays lovers. These distinctions will help you keep the memory of cool events for a long time. We will tell you how to get the entire coat of arms later.




Not only game maps will be filled with Christmas spirit. A very important place for every soldier - the Safe House - will also change for the winter holidays. Christmas wreaths, gift boxes, festive decorations, snowballs, fairy lights, a snowman and even reindeer images will be added to its decor.

Please note that the specs indicated are preliminary and can be subject to change per general testing results.

Christmas isn’t just a season. It’s a feeling.

We have implemented some small but very important changes in this hotfix. Let’s check out the information below and see what has changed during the maintenance. Be sure to leave your feedback!

Please note: the Christmas update is currently being tested and its release is scheduled for next week. It will be followed by various festive activities, so stay tuned and keep track of announcements on our social platforms.



Some time ago we introduced a long-awaited feature - PvP map selection in Quick Play. Unfortunately, it led to splitting the search queue and thus increased the matchmaking time. Considering that we plan to disable the region selection in the Game Center in order to prevent people from joining a distant region (and thus making the gameplay less enjoyable for all those involved), we are concerned about this issue and aim to mitigate it ASAP. Details.

The following maps will stay in Quickplay on a permanent basis:

• Plant the Bomb: all maps.
  
• Team Death Match: Oil Depot, Hangar 2.0, Street Wars, Aul, Tunnel.
  
• Blitz: Residence, Hawkrock.
  
• Free For All: Widestreet, Motel, Yard 2.0, District 2.0.
  
• Domination: Sirius.
  
• Bag and Tag: Icebound, Exclusion Area.
  
• Capture: Deposit, Construction.
  
• Storm: Invasion, Highhill.
  
• Destruction: Lighthouse, Towers.
  

These maps will be present in this week’s rotation (till the next maintenance):

• Team Death Match: Dock, Sirius, Airbase
  
• Free For All: Sanctuary
  
• Bag and Tag: Coliseum
  
• Capture: Quarry
  
• Storm: Blackgold 2.0
  
• Destruction: Hollywood

The second part of the Special Operation Event has already begun! Complete the specified Special Operations till the 23rd of December and get extra rewards! The higher is the difficulty level - the more valuable and exclusive rewards you will get! Details.

"Mars"

• Easy: Box with crafting cards for M4 Custom (x1)
  
• Normal: Box with crafting cards for M4 Custom (x2)
  
• Hard: “Undertaker” Skin for LWRC SMG-45 + Box with crafting cards for M4 Custom (x3)

"Blackwood"

• The reward for completing: “Undertaker” Skin for Uzkon UNG-12 + Box with crafting cards for Typhoon F12 Custom (x2)

• Surrender vote is temporarily unavailable during the “Swarm”#1 Ranked Matches Season. You can start voting, but the “vote” button will be inactive.
  
• Hephaestus Flamethrower: the visual effect of the flame during the shooting cannot be displayed in a first-person view after the player jumps over the obstacle
  
• While playing on a game client with a DirectX 9 support some players can encounter black screen problem after using Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut in a fullscreen mode.

Make sure your game client is updated to the last version to prevent any new problems. The update will be downloaded automatically as you launch the game.

Good luck in combat!

In the upcoming update, the primary weapon selection will be replenished with new items. Hurry up to learn more. We are sharing the first details. Medics will get a powerhouse of a shotgun Benelli M4 Custom, while the Riflemen's arsenal will be topped up with the assault rifle AN-94 "Abakan". These guns sport excellent specifications and can be easily modified to suit the shooter's needs, which will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of perfectly balanced weapons.


The M4 is the first auto-regulating gas-operated shotgun produced by Benelli. Its simplicity, durability and originality quickly attracted the public interest - and the weapon was quickly employed by the military. Its system consists of two main parts: a gas chamber and a short stroke gas piston. The patented gas-operated system guarantees high accuracy of fire, as well as reliability and durability of the weapon. This made the M4 one of the best combat shotguns of the US military.

In the game, the arm offers a semi-automatic firing mode. Anyone armed with a Benelli M4 Custom is capable of easily eliminating any opponent with one single shot. In addition, depending on the tactical situation, the gun can be easily modified with a unique suppressor and a fast 1,3x zoom sight.



The golden version, apart from luxurious looks, will boast an even higher rate of fire and increased magazine capacity.

• Benelli M4 Custom Suppressor reduces muzzle flash and damage drop, and improves penetration.
  
• Collimator Hakko BED-24 Panorama sports a fast 1.3x zoom and reduces spread and recoil by 20%.

By landing killing blows with the new weapon, you'll get memorable distinctions.




The AN-94 "Abakan" was developed by a small arms designer Gennady Nikonov. The assault rifle boasts high accuracy and low spread. When firing in long bursts, the weapon shows as good performance as the AK-74 regarding accuracy and bullet spread while in single burst fire mode it even surpasses its peer due to a long sight line.

In the game, the rifle fires two bullets in a semi-automatic firing mode. The weapon specs are perfectly balanced: excellent damage and rate of fire, good aiming range and the availability of a unique grip that reduces spread and increases the arm reloading speed.



The golden version of the assault rifle, apart from stunning looks, will boast an even better effective range and increased magazine capacity.

• A special "Abakan" grip decreases spread and recoil by 15%, and improves the reload speed by 15%.

By landing killing blows with the new weapon, you'll get memorable distinctions.



Please note that the specs indicated are preliminary and can be subject to change per general testing results.


Following our strategy of improving the regional matchmaking, we are going to readjust the sub-server selection option for some players. In the near future some regions will remain hidden for a player depending on the ping value they have for each region.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how it will work:

• If a player has the ping value of 60ms and less for at least one region, all other regions (having the value of 60+ ms) will be unavailable for them;
  
• If a player’s ping is higher than 60ms for all regions in the list, the selection option will remain the same as it is now.

Please note that these values are preliminary and are subject to change per general testing results. We will be closely monitoring your feedback and our internal statistics to ensure the desired positive impact of these changes.

As we have mentioned before, we are also working on improving the server coverage area as well as readjusting our server structure. Stay tuned for more details!

See you in combat!

The year is rapidly coming to an end but we still have a stock of pleasant surprises for you. Very soon the game will feature fascinating new winter items that will not leave you indifferent. We are ready to share the first details. Thus, there will appear two new weapon series dedicated to Ranked Matches and the movie "The Godfather". Read on to learn more!


The collection of seasonal weapons and camos dedicated to Ranked Matches will be replenished. A special winter series "Snow Leopard" has been designed for the best fighters who regularly get breathtaking victories and passionately eliminate competitors in the struggle for the top positions in the leagues. The weapon frames of the new series are decorated with an image of a large cat and an imitation of scars left by its claws which remind the enemy about sharp blades hid in the soft yet mighty paws. These beasts of weapons will suit the most bloodthirsty shooters!



The series includes four primary weapon models, a secondary gun and a knife. We'd like to point out that "Snow Leopard" will offer Medics a pleasant surprise - a new arm about which we will definitely tell you in our future publications. In the meantime, can you guess which model will be added to the class-specific arsenal?

The new series has been ported from the console game version. It comprises special weapons packing a superb punch. The gun specs will pleasantly surprise you: they are on par with golden versions. In addition, these arms are distinguished by their elegant design and a unique heating animation when destroying enemies. The all-new guns will definitely emphasize the high status of their owner on the battlefield!



By disposing of the competition with the "Godfather" weapons, you can get unique achievements - weapon expert stripes.



Please note: the series includes no camouflages, and no attachments can be mounted on the weapon barrels.

The specs indicated are preliminary and can be subject to change per general testing results.

Never hate Your enemies. It affects Your judgment.

• Warface FAQ #13
  
• Warface FAQ #14

It was in the Roadmap for 2020, but unfortunately it is delayed. We’ll update you on the status of the system’s rework with a separate article in the future.

• Will there be more Ranks in Warface?

The developers don’t plan to add new ranks to the game in the nearest future.

• When will you introduce free female skins that we will be able to choose from while creating a new character?

Currently, this feature is scheduled for 2021.

• Do you plan to merge WF International and WF CIS?

Yes, but first there will be the merge of EU and NA in Warface International and Alpha, Bravo and Charlie servers in Warface RU.

• Any plans for the new season of TOP GUN?

The next season is coming in Q1 2021. We are still considering its details.

• I found a bug, what should I do?

We will appreciate it if you submit a ticket to the customer support. Bugs reported on Social Media lack the details and tech data the support asks you to provide and thus can not be used in the investigation and fixing process.

• I get a lot of “Connection to server lost” recently. When will you fix it?

Your reports on the Social Media are insufficient to correctly investigate the problem. We ask you to contact the Customer Support.

See you in game!

Winter has rightfully taken its reign: it decorated windows with exquisite rime patterns, coated the ground with fresh and blindingly white snow, forced people to wrap themselves in warm jackets, and cats to hide their noses in warm blankets. The main holiday of the year is approaching bringing festive mood, new hopes, the smell of Christmas trees and mandarines!

To mark the upcoming holidays, Warface has launched a free Winter Operation. On a special page, you will find themed rewards, holiday boxes, exciting quests and weapons from the brand new "Glacier" series. Get started and earn cool items. Access to the event is completely free!

Winter Operation

The new operation is based on the finished "Dark Samurai". Access to it is absolutely free, but it is possible to purchase a special seasonal currency.

• You can still choose rewards by purchasing crates with permanent and temporary prizes.
  
• The task list changes once a day and rotates during several days.
  
• The "Challenge of the day" remains and it grant you different types of currency.
  
• The rewards include heaps of both regular and festive guns and skins, including weapons from the new "Glacier" series.
  
• There is still a "Crate for wins" - it does not require currency, but you must fulfill certain conditions to open it.

Be sure to check out the full F.A.Q. on the new operation.


In the next update, Warface will feature a new festive weapon series "Glacier" that is already available for operation participants. The guns boast original looks and a colourful frosty animation. Beware, the arms are ice-cold, do not forget to put on gloves!



Naturally, killing blows made with these weapons will grant you sleek achievements!



YOU CAN TRANSFER THE "GLACIER" GUNS INTO THE GAME ONLY AFTER INSTALLING THE UPDATE. TILL THEN THEY WILL BE SAFE IN YOUR INVENTORY.


Like in "Dark Samurai", in the new global operation there are two types of currencies: the base and the premium one. You can get rewards just by playing!

• The base currency gain is not only related to daily tasks. You will be able to receive it for battles - at least 10 points per match, provided that all conditions are met.

• Instead of the base currency, daily task completion will yield cards for crafting, as well as various ammunition items.
  
• By completing the Challenge of the day, you will earn both the base and the premium currencies.
  
• The amount of the premium currency for battles is fixed - 1 point per match. Please note: to mark the occasion, special discounts on the premium currency will be active starting from the operation launch and throughout the weekend.

By completing daily tasks, you will be able to get cards for crafting "Glacier" weapons. The guns themselves can be found in the corresponding crates for the base and the premium currencies!


You are in for the weapon series "Glacier", "Winter Camo", "Radiance" and "Evil Santa", themed Christmas items, Arctic Squad camos and cards for crafting new arms. Some of these rewards are temporary while many of them are permanent!



You can find a complete list of rewards in the crate description. In some cases, items may repeat. Read more in F.A.Q. on the operation.


Participation in the operation will not give you access to the Marketplace, if you did not have it before.

The event will be live until the end of the day on January 31, 2021.

Let the Christmas fun begin!

Have you tried out the new special operation and fought the unusual enemy? We are sure that you have been able to appreciate the new mission, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of classic horror films and burn to ashes hordes of creepy arachnids! "Swarm" is a really cool special operation that will appeal to everyone thanks to its unique features.



Equip your character with "Reaper", one of the most accurate secondary arms in the game. It is a symbiosis of a pistol and a living organism derived from arachnid cells. The new gun will be a perfect pick for the themed "Swarm" season that will elevate your combat efficiency to new heights. Hurry up to expand your armoury with this spectacular collectible weapon featuring unique animation. It is already available on a special promo page.

Get Reaper

Now that you are geared up and fully ready to face monstrous beetles, let's have a brief overview of brand new features the special operation "Swarm" has to offer.

1. Arachnids - the first time in the game
Arachnids are the main enemies in "Swarm". They are dangerous and fast opponents who hunt under cover of darkness. They usually hide in the ground, ventilation systems or hives, waiting for their prey. There are several main types of arachnids. You will need to work out new tactics to deal with them.



2. Awesome flamethrower

The new special operation offers a cool weapon - the Hephaestus Flamethrower. You have passed previously released special operations hundreds of times and dreamed of becoming a Firestarter for a while to mercilessly burn your enemies down with flames? Then you will definitely like "Swarm"! During the operation, its participants get a flamethrower with endless ammo, so you will not have to spare bullets and will burn out hordes of bloodthirsty creatures upon deployment. The new weapon is really hot and is definitely worth trying out!



3. Weapon upgrade mechanics

Samantha is your hope and salvation. This vehicle will become a reliable ally during your descent to the lower levels in "Swarm". And to make the tool truly powerful, feel free to upgrade it. Boosting items for resources is a cool feature, do not underestimate it!

4. Ambience

Enjoy the atmosphere of classic horror films. The scene is a secret Blackwood base with intricate labyrinths located in Death Valley near the Mojave Desert, where, according to our intel, strange experiments on monstrous life species were carried out. Darkness reigns in the new locations, danger, really nasty opponents or sticky webs await around every corner. Watch out!



5. Plot

The situation is heating up - there are even more mysteries ahead. No spoilers, but the ending will definitely shock you. How will it end, and most importantly what will happen next? You will discover it yourself if you come face to face with the danger awaiting you in "Swarm". And if you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the events even more, check out the comics dedicated to the protagonists. You will surely enjoy Noda's story!

6. Unknown guide

A mysterious stranger will inform you about the mission progress. Who is the person and what are the motives? We do not know. Can you trust this stranger? Find it out. Follow the directions, but stay alert. Your goal is to get information, not to fall into a death trap!

7. Reward system

We go on experimenting with the cyclical reward system. This time the scheme is simple - a certain time is allotted for the entire mission completion during which you will try to finish the special operation with the best result. The better and faster you manage to do it, the more valuable reward box you will get when the cycle is over. The box includes cards for crafting powerful guns from the themed "Parasite" series.



8. Unique achievements

The new special operation is rich with unique achievements for decorating your coat of arms and profile. Get them all to demonstrate your skills to other players.



All this - and even more - awaits you in the new special operation. See you on the battlefield!

Right now though once again Steam users can make their voices heard, can make their opinions matter and can showcase their love for the games they have fun in and stick with.

Even though this year was a tough one, lots of important updates, bringing new content and fixes, were installed on Warface servers. We celebrated a large number of holidays together, completed various tasks during global events, tried out and even mastered new guns and skins as well as decorated weapons with new charms to stand out even more.

Despite certain stumbles along the way, we humbly hope that you do enjoy your time in Warface and have found something for your own taste in it - be it exterminating mutant beetles, delving into the labyrinth of politics between Warface and Blackwood, rising high in Ranked Matches or collecting all the available weapons.

There are a lot of quality of life improvements and content updates (Ho Ho Ho) in production, including but not limited to the heavily demanded changes and large scale improvements. We are looking forward to your feedback on them and will keep striving to make Warface better.
