Soldiers!

Along with the new special operation, the new themed season of “Swarm” Battle pass is also on its way. This article is dedicated to new global event rewards. Remember: “Swarm” — is not only a special operation and battle pass, but also a load of new themed content, which will be available in a few weeks!

Participants with premium access can collect 1000 free cards by reaching the highest level in the “Swarm” Battle Pass. The reward can be exchanged for a new weapon — IWI Carmel assault rifle.

The new assault rifle offers combat specs similar to those of one of the most favoured weapons - AK-12. The IWI Carmel differs from the latter due to a slightly increased rate of fire and a greater attachment variability. These advantages are offset by a lower effective range.



During the “Swarm” Battle Pass you can get lots of rewards — new appearances are also in the list. Equip new skins and join the “Arachnid” squad in the fights against the unknown alien threat. Most effective and experienced fighters can join an elite combat squad: their sprint distance will increase by 60%.



You can get “Arachnid” appearances by reaching 33,43,61 and 91st levels of Battle Pass. As for Elite “Arachnid” squad appearances, they are waiting for players with premium access on the 10,20,30 and 40th levels.

The “Swarm” Operation features the clean-up squad that discovered secret weapon blueprints, which Blackwood was going to use in a fight against an alien enemy somewhere in Nevada. All the supplies were captured by our team and are now heading right to the Warface scientists.

”Chitin” weapon series features a unique look with lots of bright colours and is made in the “Swarm” style. The appearance of these weapons will definitely remind you of certain locations in the new special operation. The series contains only powerhouse guns for all classes!



By landing killing blows with the “Chitin” series weapons, you'll get memorable distinctions.

“Toxicity” weapon series can also boast some bright colours. On the body of the weapon, you can see a pattern with some graffiti elements and a silhouette of one of the most dangerous enemies in the “Swarm” operation. This series includes primary arms for all classes, as well as some secondary and melee weapons.



By landing killing blows with the “Toxicity” series weapons, you'll get memorable distinctions.

The list of available charms will be expanded with new five bright items. All of them are featuring “Swarm” Battle Pass style, dedicated to the global event and will become a pleasant reminder of the fights against arachnids. Expand your collection, customize your weapons and enjoy your stylish gun in the battle!



Charms can be installed on every weapon from the list below: it will be expanded as the new charm series will appear in the game. Moreover, you will be able to install a new charm on the weapons for the previous list.



Participants of the new Battle Pass can get unique achievements and decorate their profile. Get them all and demonstrate your skill in fights against aliens!

All additional information, as well as the start date of the Battle Pass, will be provided separately.

See you on the battlefield!

In future updates, the Rifleman's arsenal will be expanded with a new assault rifle IWI Carmel. This model will appeal to shooters who appreciate a high rate of fire, excellent damage and the possibility to modify the weapon depending on their combat needs.



The assault rifle sporting a classic layout was developed by the Israeli manufacturer Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) and was presented to the general public at an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro in 2019. The weapon has a gas regulator, a rotating bolt and a short-stroke gas piston. A Picatinny rail integrated into the receiver cover allows the shooter to equip various sighting devices. The weapon is chambered for a 5.56 × 45 mm (.223 Remington) NATO cartridge.

The new assault rifle offers combat specs similar to those of one of the most favoured weapon AK-12. The IWI Carmel differs from the latter due to a slightly increased rate of fire and a greater attachment variability. These advantages are offset by a lower effective range.

The model has 4 unique attachments: a reflex sight, a grip, a suppressor and a silencer.

• The IWI Carmel Supressor reduces damage drop, increases penetration and slightly reduces scope shake.
  
• The UTG Ambi Combat D Grip decreases spread by 15%, reduces recoil by 15% and increases reload speed.
  
• The silencer IWI Carmel makes shooting stealthier, reduces damage by 5% and decreases spread by 20%.
  
• The fast-zoom 1.3x reflex sight Mepro M5 reduces barrel sway by 80%.

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



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

A minor hotfix to the current game version has been installed on the Warface servers. Check out the information and evaluate the changes in the game!

UPD: At 12:45 UTC (13:45 CET), DirectX 11 support was disabled. We recommend restarting the Game Center and updating the Warface client.

Important: DirectX 11 support is in a testing mode now. If you are facing any problems (such as client crashes) please follow the steps below:

1. Press a small arrow near the "Play" button in the Game centre.
   
2. Choose "Game settings".
   
3. Uncheck the DirectX 11 support button and press OK.

In case it doesn't help, please contact our Support service.



The game client is featuring DirectX 11 support in a testing mode. It will help the system use modern graphics processors more efficiently and increase performance quality, solving a few problems caused by DirectX 9 at the same time. The game centre can automatically check which version of DirectX is supported by the player’s computer at the moment — and open the corresponding application. Read the details.

In case we face any unexpected issues during the testing, DirectX 11 support may be disabled.


Along with the DirectX 11 support, Warface players will also enjoy brand new NVIDIA Reflex technology decreasing system delay, which can appear between the moment you press the key and its appearance on the screen. You can enable this technology in the graphics setting menu. NVIDIA Reflex can work in a normal mode as well as the turbo one, which disables energy-saving mode in order to work with higher efficiency. We will tell more about the NVIDIA Reflex technology in a dedicated article.

• Now the client with a DirectX 11 support consumes fewer system resources in a minimized window mode.
  
• Safehouse content was updated for the upcoming “Swarm” special operation — location is slightly different now, and the shooting range can boast some new targets, looking like arachnids. Apart from that, new mini-game for your shooting skills has been added to the shooting range. You can start the game with a special terminal with a green indicator in the centre of the shooting gallery.
  
• Halloween celebration is over. Themed “Farm” and “Street wars” maps as well as the music theme are back to their original versions.

• Typhoon F12 Custom "Guardian": fixed the problem due to which weapon had a wrong description.
  
• FN P90 Custom, HCAR Auto, M16A3 Custom "Fiesta", Golden Katana, Golden FN SCAR-H, SIG MPX SBR Custom "Frankenstein": fixed the problem due to which kills didn’t count for these weapons during the “Mutiny” battle pass.

Good luck!

The "Swarm" season will bring to Warface a fascinating pistol "Reaper" that boasts one-of-a-kind looks and special animation in the standby mode. Today we will tell you more about this new ace!


A batch of these pistols was found at the Blackwood base in the Mojave Desert. Almost all files related to the project "Reaper" had been deleted. The gun's name was found in recoverable records. What is certain, Blackwood scientists tried to create a new weapon via a symbiosis of a pistol and a living organism derived from arachnid cells.

"Reaper" is one of the most accurate pistols in Warface. It favourably compares to the Ruger Mk IV Lite, another novelty of the "Swarm" season, thanks to its higher damage and better range of fire, reduced spread and a larger magazine.



"Reaper" is equipped with a non-removable 1.2x reflex sight providing the most comfortable shooting. Moreover, the new item offers a unique animation that is activated in the standby mode after a few seconds of inactivity.


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



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

Sedrium is not the only thing they have found on Mars.

One of the nearest updates will expand the Team Deathmatch map rotation with a new map featuring a themed setting based on the special operation "Swarm". On the new location, you can feel the atmosphere of gloomy tunnels that Blackwood transformed into a research base. Watch out: dangerous opponents can be right behind your back. The "Tunnels" are not as safe as they might seem ...


Warface and Blackwood will clash again. The winner will take control of a hideout where scientists used to conduct experiments on insects. The map is based on a bunker, which players can visit in the special operation "Swarm".


The location provides a highly intensive combat at close and long ranges. The Team Deathmatch kicks off inside the tunnel behind its gate. The defense team starts the battle in the dead end of a railway tunnel, while the attacking team begins the combat on the opposite side of the map, behind a truck.

Use flanks to eliminate danger posed by precise snipers. In the center of the "Tunnel", there is a massive truck that can become an excellent position for teammates' fire support. Do not forget to coordinate your actions: taking cover at this point will make you vulnerable from the side positions.

Winners and active players will be able to earn unique distinctions on this map.



You will be able to join the fight on the "Tunnel" map soon. Stay tuned!

With the next update, Warface will move to a seasonal system. "Swarm" will become the first season featuring a Special Operation under the same code name as well as a lot of other themed in-game content.

In this publication we will tell you about a Special Operation that will be totally different from everything you've seen before: new enemies, unique weapons to fight them, a gloomy thriller atmosphere and cool rewards await you. Are you ready to take up this dangerous mission?


In one of the provincial towns bordering the Mojave Desert, a series of strange events has been occurring. People started to disappear from farms on the outskirts; the county police imposed curfew, and eyewitnesses report seeing numerous military detachments without identification marks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CggzNS1pRDU

An anonymous source contacted the Warface command centre and claimed that Blackwood held samples of an unknown life form from the ship of Martian colonists that had crashed in th Death Valley.

A Blackwood base was soon constructed not far from the crash site. But strange creatures kept in its depths have broken free and now pose danger to all living beings. To eliminate the threat to the civilian population, one of the best Warface units "Sigma-3" is deployed to the region.


Special Operation "Swarm" offers players a brand new PvE experience through a unique combination of gameplay features.

• Ambience. Enjoy the atmosphere of classic horror films of the 80s! The dawn haze will be a harbinger of the nightmare that you will have to live in reality. The pitch darkness that reigns in mysterious laboratories and damp tunnels of a grim underground bunker will make you shudder from every rustle and shoot into the darkness.
  
• Enemies. Get ready to face arachnids - a race of predatory creatures. You will see their menacing silhouette around every corner! This is a fundamentally new opponent with unique combat tactics waiting for its victim in the most unexpected places.
  
• Boss. In the depths of an underground complex there lurks something that controls the arachnids. And this something is huge, so have the most powerful guns on the ready to deal with this monster!
  
• Equipment. A flamethrower is the best way to fight arachnids protected by solid chitinous carapace! Infinite ammo will allow you to burn down whole hordes of bloodthirsty creatures.
  
• Unmanned armored vehicle. The unmanned combat vehicle "Samantha" will help you survive a descent into the very monsters' lair. You can increase its performance and even equip it with turrets that will enhance your squad's firepower.
  
• New reward system. By completing the whole Special Operation within a certain period of time, you will get a box with the most generous rewards!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWt7WQ9WUHQ

ACT 1
The operation begins at the approaches to the military base. To get inside, you will have to find three laptops with access codes. To activate the laptops, you will need resources. Resource crates are scattered throughout the map.

ACT 2
Once inside the complex, you will need to restore power to the central room access terminal. Here you will find an unexpected ally who will help you survive the descent to the lower levels.

ACT 3
To find out what controls the arachnids, you will have to fight your way to the heart of the base through dark damp tunnels, killing hordes of disgusting enemies. Take care of your new ally and it will pay you back in the final battle.

ACT 4
Get ready to face the biggest enemy you've ever seen!

ARACHNIDS

Arachnids are fast and dangerous enemies that prefer to hunt in the dark. They usually hide in the ground, ventilation systems, or hives, waiting for their prey. There are several main types of beetles.



COMPLETION REWARDS

"Swarm" continues the tradition of a cyclic reward system with milestones, meaning that a certain period of time is allotted for mission completion and you will try to finish the special operation achieving the best result. The quality of the Random Box with rewards depends on the number of acts passed. You will get the best box when you complete the special operation within a certain period of time.



The result is saved during the cycle, so you can continue attempts without risking anything. When the timer expires, you will receive a reward box.

Each box contains cards for crafting "Parasite" weapons coated with chitin and poisonous saliva of bloodthirsty arachnids. The series includes HArms CQR, Fostech Origin-12, Bushmaster BA50, Thompson M1928, XM556 Microgun, as well as the brand new SAI GRY LMG machine gun that will soon appear in the game.

See you in the Swarm!

After the next update, "Free for All" will be replenished with two popular maps of the "Plant the Bomb" mode: "Yard 2.0" and "District 2.0". The maps' looks will remain the same, but the old tactics will now be hardly applicable - an enemy will be waiting for you literally around every corner. How long will you last alone?


Yard 2.0

If you have not yet played on "Yard 2.0", we would like to remind that visually, the map is set in the style of a small Middle Eastern village on the river bank.



District 2.0

"District 2.0" is a quarter of a South American city where dilapidated slums are enclosed in a ring of wide highways and majestic skyscrapers.




Now Yard 2.0 and District 2.0 will offer new achievements that can be earned only in Free for All.



Hurry up to get new impressions on the so familiar maps!

Good luck in combat!

Dear players!

We keep monitoring your feedback on the various game related issues. Our main goal is to make Warface enjoyable for everyone, that’s why we are here today to let you know what problems we are currently focused on and what their status is.
We will publish several articles to cover various issues and later on will keep you updated on the status of all of them on a regular basis.

Servers

The majority of the player base has experienced issues related to the regional matchmaking at least once. It’s a very complex topic to discuss, so we’ll split it into categories.


Why do I have high ping?

Issue: The most probable (and obvious) reason why a player has high ping is that the servers are located far away from the player’s location. Another common reason for it is low Internet speed or bad routing to the server which fully depends on the service provider. The only solution we can offer to improve your ping is to create more regional servers. Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward: for the room to be created on that server there should be enough players from that region. We regularly monitor the situation with the allocation of our playerbase and as soon as we see that there is a real need to add a server, we do so. One of the last examples is a server in South America, which is going to go live as soon as the migration of Brazilian players starts.

Status: ongoing

I have 5 bars. Why are there so many players with high ping in the room?

Issue: There are two reasons why players from very distant locations play in the same room. The first one - there are no closer servers. Following the status of the previous issue, we will be able to provide them with a separate server only if the situation allows us to do so.

Status: ongoing

Issue: There is a closer server but the matchmaking is too long or the server selection doesn't matter for the player. Taking into account the future migration of the Brazilian players and EU + NA servers merge, we are now focused on improving regional matchmaking. Our goal is to make it impossible to join a distant region manually thus reevaluating the current server coverage area.

Status: ongoing


Issue: Most of the new weapons are sold for Kredits. We aim to provide you with the alternative ways of obtaining desired items such as Crown and Warface Dollar boxes, events (e.g. TOP GUN), weapon crafting and Social Media contests. We will keep doing so on a regular basis.

Status: ongoing

Issue: Old weapons are less powerful than the new ones. The development team rebalances older weapons on a regular basis.

Status: ongoing


The fight against cheats at the software level is our top priority. It allows us to identify and block offenders, yet also complicates the further development of cheats, reducing their total number on the market. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to mitigate the issue completely - the cheat makers keep updating their software, which repeats the cycle.

In the last quarter of this year 1532 accounts were banned for cheating and most of them got automatically detected by MRAC (our anti-cheat programme). We aim to improve the ways of detecting the offenders and reducing the time such accounts exist for in our game.

Status: ongoing

The war and power walk side by side treading feelings, shedding lives and turning attachments into blood stained ashes. They leave nothing behind except for pain, rage and thirst for revenge. However, loss and devastation forge new alliances. Will they be strong enough to stand the death and tell the good from the evil in a world where a puppeteer can any moment turn into a miserable rag doll in a bitter farce?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWT3wKVzYc8

There is a vulnerable beating heart inside very faceless uniform. No matter how hard seasoned a soldier is, the little piece of warm flesh sinks to feel someone dear suffering. The soldier is a vocation but the one who takes orders is still human. The soil of a man's heart is stony. He grows what he can and tends it but he must be ready to pay the price.
