Warface FAQ #13 is here - perfect number for the Halloween Eve. Get the answers to the most burning questions and don’t forget to check out our previous articles:

• Warface FAQ #10
  
• Warface FAQ #11
  
• Warface FAQ #12

Recently you announced EU and NA merge. How will it work for me if I play on both servers?
Currently, we’re looking for the best way to merge the servers, and we cannot give you any details or exact ETA. Don’t worry, we’ll share the information in advance to gather your feedback.

It’s so hard to find a Special Operation. Can I start it alone?
We see that some of you are concerned about the long matchmaking in PVE (especially SpecOps). The issue is addressed, but we do not plan to change the “max players to start” limit to 1 as it kills the whole idea of a MMO game.

Can you conduct maintenance at low peak time instead of during happy hours?
Well, this time is also considered as a low peak. Unfortunately we cannot perform the maintenance earlier as the server admins have a tight schedule.

Can you make a Ranked Games season with the Open Cup rules?
Nice idea, we’ll discuss it!

Why didn’t we get all old Halloween items in the shop?
We are gradually introducing the content to the shop, please be patient. Halloween isn’t over yet.

Why do we have to choose one out of only 4 weapons we want to convert V resources for.
Website and in-game crafting systems aren’t the same thing. In the website crafting you could get resources only for 4 weapons so it works the same way for the exchange. If you already collected all of them, you can exchange AK Alpha, Typhoon F12, Kriss Super V Custom and CDX-MC Kraken cards for free cards in the game, and then use the latter to assemble any other gun.

Make a deal with steam and let us unbind our accounts from steam.
We are afraid this is impossible.

That’s it for today! Join our Social Media and don’t forget to leave your feedback:

Soldiers!

Cool weapons in the game can be purchased not only for Kredits, but also for an in-game currency Crowns. In this publication we would like to provide a number of tips for Crown gain.


It seems that the easiest way of earning Crowns is playing PvE missions. Upon completing a PvE operation, two parameters are taken into account when calculating gained Crowns: the kill score and the completion time. After finishing a mission, you will see two scales with three markers for each of the parameters. A certain number of Crowns will be awarded for reaching each mark. The higher the mission difficulty is, the more Crowns it can yield; so opt for "Hard" missions to get the maximum number of the currency.

While completing PvE missions, the key to success is an experienced team and well-coordinated teamwork. Play confidently, do not hesitate, fulfill your role, aim to heads and make sure that your character dies seldom.


Special Operations offer another way to earn Crowns if you are the PvE type. The currency gain here depends on the same parameters as in regular PvE missions: the total kill count and completion time. Special Operations allow you to get more Crowns than regular PvE missions, but, at the same time, they take more time.




We carry out regular in-game events to mark various holidays. Complete tasks and get Crowns and other prizes - as simple as that! You can learn more about the on-going activities in the news on our official website or in the dedicated website section.


Ranked PvP Matches offer yet another way to earn Crowns. Soldiers get access to them upon reaching Rank 20. Crowns are awarded for winning new leagues. You can lean more about the current RM season from the dedicated publication. Please note that teamwork and excellent skill are very important for this highly competitive way of gaining Crowns.


Follow the Warface website and social media; in some contests, winners get Crowns along with other prizes. Don't miss this opportunity to get nice items and in-game currency!

Good luck!

Soldiers!

As we notified you, today the crafting system on the website has been closed. In the future, weapon crafting will be available only in the game. So far, the process of attachment disassembling and resource converting is in progress - this is a rather long procedure. Now there is a special promo page available where you can exchange the accumulated resources for in-game weapon cards. Go on assembling the coveted guns in the game!





Today, we have removed all the website elements related to the old weapon crafting system.

• The "Weapon Crafting" tab on the game website has been closed.
  
• The keys "Resources" and crates "Resources for Crafting" have disappeared from the "Crates" page.

At the moment, all players' attachments located in the Inventory or on the Marketplace are being transferred back into resources. Resources starting from the first level will in turn be converted into resources of a higher level up to the fifth one. There are a lot of Warface players, so this procedure will take quite a lot of time. Please be patient.

Crates "Resources for Crafting" will soon be removed from the Marketplace and from players' Inventories.

You will see the total number of fifth level resources on a special promo page. In addition, right now you can get in-game cards for crafting AK "Alpha", Typhoon F12, Kriss Super V Custom and CDX-MC Kraken.

After the exchange, you will find cards in your Inventory, and you will be able to transfer them into the game.

Exchange resources and rush into combat with new guns!

Dear players!

We have important news to share with you. Warface, as a global title, keeps on expanding and developing. A lot has been done throughout this challenging year and more is yet to come! However, the core of our game is our international community. It is always exciting to greet new members of it but it’s truly a special occasion, when a whole region joins in.

We are happy to announce that in November we will be welcoming players of the Brazilian region that will migrate from their publisher to our EU server. Moreover, in Q4 of this year we plan to carry out the merge of our EU and NA servers that will mean not only an increase in the player base but various quality of life improvements for our current players, for example:

• The server merge will fix a number of pending technical issues like the ones connected to ping (especially the issues currently observed on NA)
  
• Brazilian players who play on the EU and on the NA servers will no longer be separated and will be able to enjoy the game with their loyal allies again
  
• The matchmaking will take less time, meaning that you can spend more time in combat, rather than in the lobby. You’ll be matched to the closest and most optimal shard (sub-server)
  
• Updates will be delivered faster since they will be installed almost simultaneously with the patches of the CIS game version

Don’t worry, you will not lose any of your progress or items during the server merge. We will do our best to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for all our users, so that you get the most positive experience possible. Stay tuned for the separate articles on the migration and the merge, where we will provide you with further details.

Yours,
Warface Team

Hordes of blood-thirsty cyborgs escaped from top secret research laboratories and fled in an unknown direction. What a mess on the Halloween eve! Warface commanders have put the code red.

Soldiers!

A new update has been installed on the Warface servers. It brings the map "Exclusion Area", VSSK Vykhlop, updated weapons of the Crown series, themed Halloween content and much more! Hurry up to check out the novelties!


"Exclusion Area" Map

We are happy to present you a new map for the "Bag and Tag" mode. The location is divided into 3 zones, one of which is randomly selected before the start of the match. An energy barrier rules out any movement beyond the zone, attempts to overcome the barrier will result in the death of the character.

An electromagnetic pulse tower is located in the center of the zones. Its delayed impact can be activated by one of the players via a special terminal, and 120 seconds later a powerful electromagnetic pulse destroys all living beings within the area. To survive, soldiers need to take shelter in the terminal building or adjacent constructions. Details.



VSSK Vykhlop

We are glad to present you a new sniper rifle VSSK Vykhlop. The combat effectiveness of the VSSK Vykhlop is comparable to one of the best sniper rifles SV-98. The new weapon is powerful enough to eliminate the enemy by hitting any part of the body; moreover, it has an undeniable advantage of a built-in silencer, which makes shooting silent without damage loss. In addition, the VSSK Vykhlop features a higher capacity magazine, a perk that can play a crucial role in a tough battle. Details.



Updated Crown Series

This is a really long-awaited expansion of a cool series of Crown guns. The weapon line-up has been topped up with powerful arms: F90 MBR, Tavor TS12 Custom, LWRC SMG-45, Remington MSR and CZ 75 Czechmate Parrot. The key feature of the elite series is improved specs: the new weapons differ from their regular versions thanks to increased magazine capacity and more ammo. Details.



Golden Katana

The arm has got a luxurious golden version that can boast not only impeccable looks but improved performance as well. The golden katana deals more damage with the main and the secondary attacks, and sports an increased damage radius. Details.



"Halloween" Series

Meet and greet the "Halloween" weapon series, a perfect combination of lethal power of potent guns and a unique themed design. The weapons are decorated with the popular Halloween symbols: sinister Jack-o'-lanterns with a nasty cemetery with the living dead on the background. The fantastic colourful decoration patterns on the weapons' frames will surely impress your opponents and delight you. Apart from the guns, there are camouflages set in the same style. Details.



By eliminating opponents with the weapons of the "Halloween" series, you can get unique achievements - a mark, a badge and a stripe.



Themed Weapon Charms

Themed weapon decorations will send chills down your enemies' spines! The game now offers 5 new charms dedicated to Halloween and designed as symbols of this spooky holiday. Details.



Pumpkin Claymore

One of the most recognizable Halloween attributes is the Jack-o'-lantern that has now become even deadlier! Unlike other mines in Warface, the unique pumpkin claymore can be thrown right at the enemy's feet. At the same time, it will roll off inclined surfaces or bounce off walls like a grenade. The pumpkin destroys everything around it and deals as much damage as the antipersonnel mine. Details.



The new item ignores boots with a mine detonation delay and cannot be destroyed by a shot; however, it disappears from the map on its own 25 seconds after being thrown.

Festive Helmets

New helmets can scare off even the most seasoned fighters! The helmets feature a unique look for each class and will become a great match for the "Halloween" vests. The helmets increase head protection by 40% and reduce the flashbang effect by 40%. Details.



"Frankenstein" Series

Another series oozing the spirit of the most creepy holiday! These weapons look really intimidating and clearly hint to the enemy that you are not the one to joke with. Apart from the Frankenstein guns, you will also find similar skins. Details.



By killing enemies using the "Frankenstein" weapons, you can earn stripes of the weapon expert!




DISCONTINUING SUPPORT FOR 32-BIT OS

Starting from the current game version, we fully discontinue our support for 32-bit systems that are now still used by a small percentage of players. Change to 64-bit systems will shorten the development of new content and allow to elaborate higher quality and more varied gameplay on a larger scale as well as improve performance of the game client by giving it the opportunity to use more RAM. User PCs with fewer RAM will be able to employ the page file more efficiently, thus avoiding client crashes. Details.

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

Warface now has several tools for tracking important technical parameters such as Internet connection and PC performance. The monitoring tools allow you to choose the optimal equipment settings for comfortable gaming. In case there occur any problems (we hope, there will not be any), special indicators will promptly notify you about this. Details.


WEAPON TWEAKS

The textures and models of M4A1, Remington Model 870, H&K MP5, Browning High Power and FN P90 as well as their position in the character's hands when viewed from the first and the third person have been improved. In addition, the icons of achievements for killing enemies with the specified guns have been updated.

The specs of the standard weapon versions have also been tweaked.

• M4A1: increased rate of fire (from 610 to 620); lower recoil; reduced minimum spread.
  
• Remington Model 870: increased damage (from 600 to 620); increased rate of fire (from 80 to 85); reduced maximum and minimum spread.
  
• H&K MP5: increased damage (from 56 to 60); lower recoil, reduced maximum recoil.
  
• Dragunov SR: increased damage (from 150 to 155); increased rate of fire (from 260 to 270); increased zoom-in speed.
  
• Browning High Power: increased damage (from 65 to 70); increased rate of fire (from 285 to 300); increased zoom-in speed.

Very soon a new map "Exclusion Area" for the "Bag and Tag" mode will appear in the game meaning that it's time to answer the call of Pripyat. According to our intelligence reports, Blackwood forces have been spotted in the exclusion zone again and it seems that the area has become the testing grounds for another experimental weapon.


The Warface headquarters received information that despite the loss of the main tower equipped with a seismic drill, Blackwood forces conserved their presence in the exclusion zone. Moreover, three towers were erected in a very short time; the structures create powerful electromagnetic radiation around them. General Lee Wharton and the entire command staff came to the conclusion that the mysterious Blackwood patrons are getting prepared to test a new weapon of mass destruction.



In order to destroy Blackwood's new development, several Warface squads are deployed to Pripyat. However, upon arriving on the spot, the fighters realize that they became subjects of a terrible experiment. The area around the towers is cut off by an energy field where the Warface units are impacted by a psychotronic weapon which causes them to start panicking and attacking each other.


Exclusion Area is a new map for the mode "Bag and Tag". The location is divided into 3 zones, one of which is randomly selected before the start of the match. An energy barrier rules out any movement beyond the zone, attempts to overcome the barrier will result in the death of the character.

An electromagnetic pulse tower is located in the center of the zones. Its delayed impact can be activated by one of the players via a special terminal, and 120 seconds later a powerful electromagnetic pulse destroys all living beings within the area. To survive, soldiers need to take shelter in the terminal building or adjacent constructions.



Points for enemies destroyed by the pulse are awarded to the player who activated the tower. However, after setting the terminal and before tower activation, any player can reconfigure the terminal to score kills. The terminal can be used again at least 1 minute after the pulse.

Every 200 seconds, Blackwood drones fly over the map. They can detect all players within a 50-meter radius and show their positions on the minimap. The drones themselves are also displayed on the map and can be destroyed.

FCG-R3 K1 energy guns can be employed as auxiliary arms to fight against the enemy. Containers with the weapons will be dropped from the air every 150 seconds. If nobody picks up the gun within one minute, it will go off.

The map also features various anomalous phenomena; most of them pose danger to players. Some anomalies move along a certain trajectory, so you'd better stay out of their way!



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

Keep your dosimeters on the ready. Good luck in combat!

After the next update, Warface will have several tools for tracking important technical parameters such as Internet connection and PC performance. The monitoring tools will allow you to choose the optimal equipment settings for comfortable gaming. In case there occur any problems (we hope, there will not be any), special indicators will promptly notify you about this.


A high-quality Internet connection and high FPS are absolutely essential for a comfortable gaming experience. Therefore, for a convenient and prompt assessment of these indicators' state while playing Warface, we have added special monitoring tools and problem indicators.

Monitoring tools display in real time the status of the main parameters of the Internet connection and hardware.

• Frame rate (FPS)
  
• CPU time
  
• GPU time
  
• Ping
  
• Server tick
  
• Packet loss
  
• Total hardware latency before rendering (for video cards supporting SDK NVIDIA Reflex and DirectX 11).

The Server tick value in the game is displayed in milliseconds. It is the time between sending data packets. To find out the number of transfers per second, you need to divide 1000 ms (that is 1 s) by this number. For example, in the PvP graph, the Server tick value is 16.6 ms. Dividing 1000 by 16.6, we get ~ 60 transfers, which is the current TickRate.

Data can be shown both as text and as graphs. The activation and selection of the tool display method can be carried out in the "Statistics" tab of the game settings window.

If the value of one or more parameters becomes critical for gameplay, new problem indicators in the upper right corner of the screen will notify you about this. However, we hope you will never know what they look like.

Low FPS. This parameter depends directly on the hardware of the PC, and if it lacks resources, the image will become less smooth. In some cases, this can lead to freezes when the image on the screen freezes for a while. Learn more.

High ping. The server and the game client interact by exchanging data packets. If it takes a data packet to be sent from the game client to the server and back too long, the quality of the gameplay will deteriorate significantly (there will be issues with damage registration, teleports, etc.). Learn more.

Packet loss. If data packets do not reach the client or the server, players may also experience similar problems (for example, the character will be moving in jerks).

Connection losses. If serious difficulties arise in the exchange of data between the client and the server, further gameplay becomes impossible. This usually happens when there are problems with the Internet connection. Learn more.

We hope you will appreciate the new monitoring tools!
