The new agent is already available in the game! Marina Radić, also known as agent "Enigma" has joined the ranks of Riflemen. Marina is an excellent mercenary, who can win any battle alone even against all odds.
The agent is part of the "New Power" seasonal update. You can learn more about it in a dedicated publication.
Marina was born in the 90s in Croatia. Her childhood consisted of constant journeys from place to place all around Europe. From an early age, Marina was left to her own devices. As she grew older, she often got into tricky situations and learned to get herself out of them. This skill has come in handy in her future career. At 17, Marina ended up in the French Foreign Legion, almost getting caught forging a parent’s permit. Years of service were accompanied by both feats and scandals. Excellent success in combat and lax compliance with orders lead to the fact that Marina's command, although while continuing to appreciate her success, began to look for a new position for her. So after completing her contract, Marina and gets into a private organization.
Little is known about the new employer and the agent’s activities. It is said that Marina Radić is working in her element: sophisticated equipment, impossible tasks, permissiveness, and the ability to rely only on herself brought the mercenary quick fame. Many have tried to lure Marina over to their side, but no one could offer better terms.
The agent set includes cool weapons from the "Hi-Tech" series: IWI Galil ACE Gen II Rifle, Kel-Tec SUB2000 and S&W Survival Tanto. The novelties are already available in the game shop.
Here's good news for weapon charms collectors: you can find a new item in the agent pack — decorate your weapons with this brand new accessory!
Achievements for kills made with the new weapon models and unique distinctions designed in the agent style have been added to the game. Destroy enemies with "Hi-Tech" arms, and earn cool achievements to pin them on your profile!
Contract Details
The game now features contracts with the agent content. Complete them and get powerful "Hi-Tech" arms, a box with the Agent Enigma skin, unique distinctions set in the agent style, a weapon charm and other useful items.
In addition, you can get the agent's suit, Hi-Tech IWI Galil ACE Gen II Rifle and Hi-Tech S&W Survival Tanto by completing tasks on the promo page.
Would you like to gain even more "New Power" Battle Pass rewards? Log into the game on certain days, play in any mode and get up to 2,5 times more BP experience!
Details
You'll be earning increased Battle Pass XP on certain days this month and next month. Rates will apply in any modes including PvE missions, special operations and any PvP matches (Public and Custom rooms). Check out the schedule below to learn when the rates will be on:
from 00:00 UTC on October 8 till 23:59 UTC on October 9.
from 00:00 UTC on October 22 till 23:59 UTC on October 23.
from 00:00 UTC on November 5 till 23:59 UTC on November 6.
from 00:00 UTC on November 19 till 23:59 UTC on November 20.
If there are any changes to the schedule (such as additional days of increased rewards), we will be sure to share the details in the news.
How do rates work at different BP premium levels?
Different premium access types are also taken into account when increasing BP experience. Thus, the total amount of BP experience will increase in proportion to the basic bonus of the premium level. Here are the bonuses to BP XP at different levels of the upgraded BP access:
no premium, as well as basic and standard premium: +150%
extended premium: +400%;
super premium: +650%;
top premium: +900%.
In the game, you can find the BP XP bonus in the Battle Pass section, to the right of your current level progress.
UI Particularities
At the moment, there are difficulties with the visual display of increased BP rates. We are aware of this issue and will work on it in the future. In the meantime, here's what you should know:
Increased rates are displayed only in the Battle Pass section, your bonus amount is also indicated there.
When the rates are on, the increased rewards icon and the bonus will not change in the interface until you restart the game.
Be careful: technical settings and the information about the rates schedule in the news indicate the time when the bonus is on. If you don't receive the bonus, but you see the increased rates icon in the game, check the schedule in the news.

Warface is constantly integrating new technologies to improve graphics and performance. This year, the Texture Streaming technology has appeared, and in the latest seasonal update, we have changed the anti-aliasing algorithms and added new ones. Due to the new features in the latest update, your graphics settings may have changed to the default ones - let's check them together!
More about Settings
We'd like to remind you that the graphics quality can be changed in a special section of the game settings. Find the perfect combination for your PC! We will discuss the main points in more detail below.
Shaders and Shadows
Shaders and shadows are the most resource-intensive frame processing processes. We recommend that you pay attention to these parameters first of all: the overall performance of the game depends on them.
Shadows are very useful in combat. They can help determine if the enemy is around the corner. Shaders affect various ambient and reflection effects.
Textures
The quality of object textures on maps depends on this setting. The most important thing here is video memory. The more there is, the better. For some content (such as some Spec Ops) at high texture quality, a video card with 4 GB of VRAM is recommended, especially if you play on high-resolution monitors.
Physics
This is the least resource-intensive parameter. It is responsible for dynamic objects, for example, grass and leaves on trees.
Other
Anti-Aliasing
In the latest update, we have changed the image anti-aliasing algorithms. Now, you have a choice between TSAA and SMAA. For weak video cards, we recommend disabling anti-aliasing, and if you have a high-performance graphics accelerator or you like taking beautiful screenshots and recording videos, you can enable one of the anti-aliasing types depending on your needs.
SMAA does not cause a high load, but makes the image less detailed, so small objects are blurred. TSAA is a more demanding type of anti-aliasing, but it provides a higher quality.
NVIDIA Reflex
Modern NVIDIA graphics accelerators support the NVIDIA Reflex technology. It increases responsiveness and slightly reduces the input lag. Check its availability in the settings and activate it if you have the option to turn it on.
Borderless Window Mode
If you haven't checked out this feature yet, give it a try! This mode retains the full-screen format you're used to while adding some conveniences, such as quick minimization and maximization of the client, as well as the ability to control the cursor outside of the game when using multiple monitors.
By the way, it is widely believed by players that the increased refresh rate (for example, 144 Hz) does not work in the windowed mode. Contrary to rumors, we can say the opposite: the game will run at an increased refresh rate (using the value set in the default system settings).
Vertical Sync
This feature helps to get rid of various "jerks" of the image, while limiting the maximum frame rate to the value of the monitor's refresh rate. We recommend that you enable it only if you have an unstable FPS value and this causes inconvenience.
I have a low-end PC. How can I increase FPS?
In this case, reducing the quality of the graphics (preferably to a low level) and screen resolution, as well as turning off anti-aliasing and motion blur, can help you. This is the most effective way to increase FPS on low-end systems.
Still experiencing inconvenience, your computer performance is not enough for some of the game content? Turn on adaptive quality in the settings. This feature lowers the real-time image quality to reach 30 FPS.
Graphics Settings Recommendations
Below, you can see examples of different graphics settings, depending on the PC and the preferences of the player.
High-end PC, PvP
If you have a high-end PC and prefer the PvP mode, we recommend using the graphics settings like in the screenshot below. In this case, the shaders are set at a low level - this will allow you not to be distracted by various effects in battle, and good anti-aliasing will help at long distances.
High-end PC, Quality
Are you a high-end PC owner and a fan of beautiful graphics and special effects? You can turn everything on maximum! The amazing locations of "Pripyat", "Sunrise" and "Mars" will especially please you - be sure to try and pass them!
Mid-end PC
On mid-end PCs, you can use the following graphics settings with shaders disabled and less demanding anti-aliasing.
Low-end PC
Do you have a low-end PC or are you temporarily using the graphics accelerator built into the processor for some reason? In this case, lowering the graphics settings and using adaptive quality can help you. Usually, with these settings, low-end devices allow you to play at 60 FPS on most maps. If performance is still low, you can also reduce the screen resolution.

In this publication, we are giving answers to your questions about the Mods 2.0 system. As you know, the redesigned system appeared in the game yesterday as part of the "New Power" seasonal update.
FAQ
Q: I can't change mods. Why? A: Play a match to convert mods. After a match, you will be able to interact with them.
Q: My mod from the previous system has disappeared. Why? A: Some mods were completely revised and removed during the system redesign. These mods have not been transferred to the new system. Instead, there are new mods with different characteristics. We have compensated the removed mods with parts.
Q: When will I receive the compensation? A: The compensation process is over. Please check your part balance in the game.
Q: I had 3 mod slots. I played a match and there remained only 2 slots. One them looks blocked and the installed mod has been removed. What happened? A: The mastery system has changed — there are 40 levels now. If you had a maximum level in mods 1.0 (meaning that all mod slots and types were unlocked), in mods 2.0 your level will remain maximum. If the level was lower, it will also decrease proportionally. If the mastery level is not maximum, some slots and modifications may not be unlocked yet. As soon as you open the slots, they will be available. As for mods, if they were removed during the migration from system 1.0 to 2.0, they will not appear in the slot (you have received parts for them as compensation). If they have been transferred and work correctly, they can be installed in the modifications menu.
Q: There are 2 modification slots available for the "Spectre" gear, but before there were 3 of them. Why? A: It's a bug. We will fix it in one of the next versions, there will be 3 slots.
Q: I have equipped mods on the OTs-14 Groza, and now it has no shooting sound. Why? A: We are aware of the bug. We also plan to fix it in one of the future updates.
Q: My unique mod for the Mauser Kar98k in mods system 1.0 disappeared in system 2.0. What happened? A: In mods 1.0, there were two types of unique modifications: for the damage and for the reload speed. During the mod transfer process, these modifications exchanged effects (damage → reload, reload → damage). The replacement did not occur in the Inventory, so the mod has disappeared. We will fix this bug in one of the next patches.
A large-scale seasonal update "New Power" is already live! Waiting for you are a whole bunch of novelties, including a reworked modification system, the Molotov, tweaks to the class balance through a new gear set and changes to some gun models, "Free For All" maps "Bulwark" and an updated "Motel", as well as new Ranked Matches, Prestige, and Battle Pass seasons. On top of that, we have fixed lots of bugs and made other notable changes.
Feel free to learn more about the main novelties of the season in the infographic. If you want to see the full change log, press the button below the image.
We are doing the final checks of the new seasonal update, and we need a little more time to complete them. The current Ranked Matches season will be prolonged until the "New Power" update gets installed on the game servers.
Tomorrow, on September 15, during maintenance, the timer until the end of the RM season will be reset to 12:00 UTC (14:00 CEST) on September 21. However, the end date is approximate meaning that the RM season can either end ahead of schedule or last a little longer.
THE CURRENT RM SEASON WILL BE PROLONGED TILL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 21, AND WILL END WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SEASONAL UPDATE.
While the season is still on, there will be the same opportunities: to play, save currency and spend it in the RM store. We'll keep you updated, and very soon we will announce the date of the "New Power" update installation. Once the new update is released, the current Ranked Matches season will end and the new one will begin.
A new season "New Power" will start in the game very soon. It will bring heaps of interesting content: a reworked mod system, new weapons, a new battle pass season with unique rewards, a new PvP map, an updated "Motel" map and much more! In this publication, we are sharing details of the key features of the season.
Modification System
In one of the previous publications, we have talked about changes to the current mod system. They include the following tweaks: mods will be unlocked for time spent in the match; there will be new customisation bonuses for the accumulated progress; the level up system will be easier to use; and the assortment of modifiable weapons will be expanded with new models. So the progression will be linear, and it also applies to the "Spectre" gear: the mods will now unlock uppon reaching a certain level. So far there are no further changes to the gear.
Battle Pass "New Power"
The new battle pass will bring you excellent rewards both for the progression as well as in the seasonal shop. For making progress in the "New Power" season, you can get competitive weapons from brand new series, gear from the "Graphite" set, parts for creating mods, customisation items, and the key novelty — the Molotov!
Molotov Cocktail
The Molotov cocktail will soon appear in Warface. After the explosion, the fire covers a small area for several seconds while the enemy caught in it endures repeating damage. The Molotov is equipped into the same slot as the frag grenades — you can equip either a frag grenade or the novelty for battle.
"Neutron" and "Quantum" Series
In the upcoming season of the battle pass, you will find two weapon series designed in a realistic military style.
The "Neutron" series includes: K&M Arms M17, AK-47, V3 TAC-13, Fabarm P.S.S.10, KH9-EX, SR-2 Veresk, AWP, Mauser Kar98k, H&K VP9 Match, Desert Eagle and the Hunting knife.
In the "Quantum" series, you can find the AN-94 Abakan, Kel-Tec KS7, PP-19-01 Vitjaz, SV-98, Buckled Lupara and a Stun baton.
Weapons
Kel-Tec RDB-C
The Kel-Tec RDB-C is a semiautomatic bull-pup rifle produced by Kel-Tec. It'll be possible to equip the novelty with modifications. We will share more details about the features and specs of this model in future publications.
"Aviator" Series
A new weapon series will soon be available in the game. It is painted in military-style camo colours, the weapon frames are adorned with drawings and stickers in a retro style that will remind you of the best decades of the past century. The series includes the VEPR VPO-X3 and the Desert Tech MDRX.
PvP Maps
"Bulwark" Map
The intelligence has discovered a mysterious "Labyrinth" bunker deep in the forest. Fighters will have to go to the base and find out what "Labyrinth" is up to.
Reworked "Motel" Map
In the "New power" season, you will find a rewoked version of "Motel", a beloved map for the "Free for All" mode. We have conciderably changed the looks of the map and made it more modern. Besides, the geometry has also been improved.
The new agent is already available in the game! Wei Li aka agent "Taishan" has joined the ranks of Medics. Wei Li is a medical professional with a passion for mountain climbing.
The agent is part of the "First Division" seasonal update. You can learn more about it in a dedicated publication.
Wei Li was born and raised in China, in the mountains of the Sichuan Province. During his childhood, he became seriously interested in mountaineering and won several local and worldwide championships. Naturally, he also did his military service in the highlands, and after finishing his conscription service he continued serving on a contract basis. He then transferred to the assault unit of a Chinese PMC, where he served for another two years.
Wei Li's talents came to light during his military service when, after a severe earthquake, his unit was sent on rescue missions in isolated mountain villages. Wei was the only one who could get to the scene and single-handedly took out a dozen of civilians from under the rubble. He would later demonstrate knowledge about the mountains and his ability to pass through them that even the best trained special forces could not compare to him. During his relatively short military career, he completed many dangerous missions around the world, but eventually decided to retire and went to work at a rescue service. He works there to this day, saving climbers amateurs from stone traps and rescuing villages caught in avalanches.
But Wei's military past still clings on to him; he has been approached with tempting contracts and even threats. He was kidnapped twice, in the hopes that that would "encourage" him to return to his previous work. Of course, nothing ever came of it, and Wei kept escaping from the unlucky employers back to his home rescue station. But eventually he had to take up a weapon once again.
The agent set includes cool weapons from the "Avalanche" series: the V3 TAC-13, TEC-9 and Karambit. The novelties are already available in the game shop.
Here's good news for weapon charms collectors: you can find a new item in the agent pack - decorate your weapons with this brand new accessory!
The game now features special achievements for kills made with the new weapon models and unique achievements set in the agent's style. Destroy enemies with "Avalanche" weapons, earn thematic achievements and decorate your profile with them!
New Contracts
We have added agent content contracts - complete tasks to get "Avalanche" weapons, a box with the Agent Taishan suit, unique achievements designed in the agent's style, an exclusive charm, and other useful items.
