Battle Pass "Legends"
We have preserved all the mechanics of the latest Battle Pass, only the rewards have been changed. In the seasonal store, you will find parts (up to 10,000 in total) and new weapons of the "Undead" series — SA Hellion, Benelli M2 SP, Vigilance Rifles A-M20 and Barrett M82A1. As for the progression rewards, the system is familiar: for the main levels, you'll receive achievements, charms, skins and two secondary weapons (a cleaver and a pistol). Additional levels will yield coins for purchases in the Battle Pass store.
Complete the Battle Pass progression and special contracts, and get guns from the new "Undead" and "Survivor" series!
The "Undead" series includes the SA Hellion, IMBEL IA2 Assault, Benelli M2 SP, Vigilance Rifles A-M20 and skins for the Vepr-VPO X3, SIG 552 Commando, Mauser Kar98k, Barrett M82A1, Mauser C96 Custom, Makarov Pistol and Black Hawk.
The "Survivor" series includes the Mateba Autorevolver, Cleaver, AK Alpha, Typhoon F12, Kriss Super V Custom and CDX-MC Kraken.
Ranked Matches
We have made a lot of improvements to the Ranked Matches system in the new season. We'll launch a leaderboard, improved team matchmaking in stacks, and add unique rewards for levelling up. Don't forget about the Ranked shop — new items will be waiting for you there! Read more about the novelties below.
"Survivor" Gear
In the seasonal Ranked Matches shop, you can find the new "Survivor" gear set. The equipment develops the concept of a good protection against bullets, but slow regeneration of health and armour.
With the "Survivor"set, recovery begins only after 10 seconds without impact (except for health restoration for the Medic and the armour for the Engineer). But, at the same time, the total number of armour points has been increased (compared to the previous sets of equipment) and limb protection has been improved. The perks are set off by the changes to the set bonuses. Now, bonuses are given only when using all items at once, and there is no longer damage reduction for assault rifles, shotguns and submachine guns.
Leaderboard
You can easily track your Ranked Matches progress — your current number of points and place in the ranking. The leaderboard will be updated every few days.
Win matches and show everyone that you are the best player in Warface!
Matchmaking Improvements
Since the launch of RM 3.0, we have received a lot of suggestions for improvements. The most popular one was improving the matchmaking balance. Now, matchmaking in Ranked Matches will be arranged as follows: the system will try to gather in one room equal groups of players.
For example, if five players from the same clan decide to play Ranked Matches, they will be matched with a stack of five players.
League Progression Rewards
After completing the calibration phase, you will receive a unique charm that will change depending on your maximum league in the current season. For example, if you complete the calibration in the "Bronze" league, you will receive a bronze helmet. And if you switch to "Silver", your charm will change. At the same time, don't not worry about losing and returning to the previous league, the charm does not roll back.
Novelties in the Seasonal Shop
In the Ranked shop, you can get new melee weapons, skins for their regular versions, a new smoke grenade, and a new set of customization items: achievements and charms. In addition, a new set of "Survivor" equipment will be available in the shop.
Other Novelties
OTs-48K MK2
The OTs-48K MK2 is a Russian sniper rifle developed in the late 90s for special forces soldiers. Compared to its competitors, the OTs-48 MK2 stands out for its high damage, increased body and limbs damage multiplier, and good firing range.
You can install mods on the rifle, including unique ones. The first mod increases the weapon change speed and crosshair stability, while the second increases the dash speed, set off by reduced rate of fire. The golden weapon version has a more spacious magazine.
Major Wharton Suit
The young Lee Wharton suit will be soon added to the game. At that time, the future general had the rank of major and served in the US Army. Lee Austin Wharton had a successful career, showing excellent skills as a commander and fighter. Very soon, we will reveal the details of his biography. In the meantime, here are the items included in the set: the Major Wharton Sniper Suit, OTs-48K MK2, Desert Eagle, and Hunting Knife of the "Sea Hunter" series, as well as namesake weapon skins, a set of achievements, and a charm.
The content will be available in special contracts, the start of which we will announce in the news.
"Hellraiser" Series
The "Hellraiser" weapon series offers a bright and memorable design. The frames of the weapon models are decorated with a dragon and flames. The series includes the Benelli M2 SP and the Taurus CT9 G2.
New Prestige Season
The new season of prestige levels is coming! New rewards for levels are waiting for you: golden weapons, parts, a set of unique achievements, XP and weapon mastery boosters, as well as useful consumables. Have fun and we'll see you in Warface!
The winter season is nearly over and we welcome spring with a 70% discount on the "Nuclear" and "Phobos" weapon sets in Warface!
The offer will go live at 8 PM UTC on March 16th and will be available until 8 PM UTC on March 23rd.
"Nuclear" Weapon Set
This spectacular weapon series will delight players of any game mode. The unique animation will make you a prominent figure on the battlefield!
The set contains the most useful guns from the series, which will be a perfect fit for all weapon collectors: PKP Pecheneg, MAG-7, CZ Scorpion Evo3 A1, and AX308.
A selection of the player's favourite guns in the amazing camouflage, which will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of a serious and strict style.
The pack includes 8 types of weapons that are guaranteed to find their perfect pair: AK Alpha, Typhoon F12, Kriss Super V Custom, CDX-MC Kraken, M60E4, SAP6, PP-2000, and Orsis T-5000.
Previously, a secret squad was sent on a mission called "Rift: Infiltration". The task was not easy, and the story ended with the destruction of the sedrium storage and the fighters escaping from the bridge. What happened next? Find out in the new "Rift: Revelation" PvE mission. Check out the video, play for yourself and share your impressions!
The Battle Pass "Legends" starts with the new season! We decided to launch a new one with minimal changes. Items in the BP shop and progression rewards have been updated, while the daily mission system and class-specific contracts remained unchanged.
Main Battle Pass Rewards
Four cool guns of the "Undead" series are available in the Battle Pass store: the SA Hellion assault rifle, the Benelli M2 SP rifle, the Vigilance Rifles A-M20 submachine gun and the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. By the way, the "Undead" weapon series is a direct reference to the legendary special operation "Cyber Horde".
SA Hellion
The SA Hellion is a Springfield Armory's version of the Croatian 5.56 bull-pup rifle VHS-2. The novelty has high base damage, good range and rate of fire. Mods can be installed on the rifle (including unique ones). In addition, the weapon has a unique inspection animation (displayed while idle).
The first mod significantly increases the magazine capacity without any negative effects. The second mod increases damage by 55 points, reduces the rate of fire by 30%, slightly increases recoil and reduces accuracy.
Benelli M2 SP
It's a semi-automatic rifle developed by the Italian company Benelli Armi for shooting competitions. The novelty has high damage and an excellent rate of fire, as well as a capacious magazine. One of the features of the M2 SP is the sport reload, which allows you to load 2 rounds at a time.
You can install mods to the novelty, including unique ones. One of them significantly increases the damage and accuracy of fire and reduces the rate of fire and the total number of pellets. The second mod significantly increases the number of pellets of each shot, reducing their damage, range and accuracy.
Vigilance Rifles A-M20
The Vigilance Rifles A-M20 developed by the Vigilance Rifles company is equipped as the Engineer's main weapon and has excellent base and minimum damage, high rate of fire, good range and fast reload.
The weapon can be used with mods, including unique ones. The first mod increases the magazine capacity and rate of fire, reduces reload speed, while increasing recoil. The second mod increases the overall damage and the damage multiplier to the head, while reducing the rate of fire.
Barrett M82A1
The Barrett M82A1 is a bolt-action sniper rifle. It has great damage indicators, high aiming speed, as well as unique attachments - a silencer, a bipod and a scope.
The Barrett M82A1 is very similar in performance to the AWP - it also has high damage and a very low rate of fire. The weapon differs from the competitor in the principle of shooting and has a silencer that does not reduce the characteristics, as well as a unique bipod that increases the rate of fire in the prone position. The arm has a unique digital sight with a compass, rangefinder and a display that shows the angle of inclination, the system time and the number of eliminated opponents. In addition, it highlights players when hovering over them.
Parts in the Shop
In the new Battle Pass, you can earn up to 10,000 parts to purchase and upgrade mods. You can get them in the Battle Pass store.
Progression
Progression levels remain unchanged. The basic progression chain consists of 25 levels, the additional one consists of 175 (200 levels in total).
As for progression rewards, the system remains familiar: for the main levels, you'll receive achievements, charms, skins and two additional weapons (a cleaver and a pistol), for additional levels - coins for purchases in the Battle Pass store.
At level 15 of the Battle Pass (if you have premium access), 4 class-specific contracts will become available to you: for Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, and Sniper. Completing them will earn you enough BP coins to purchase all items from the Battle Pass store, as well as 4 unique achievements!
The rest of the Battle Pass mechanics remain the same, only the rewards have changed. If you want to refresh your memory and remember how it works, check out our article about the previous Battle Pass.
Let's recall the main feature in this Battle Pass. In order to get all the guns, it will be enough for you to complete 4 class-specific contracts. You'll earn BP XP and complete contracts at the same time, so if you play actively, you'll be able to claim all the guns, as well as accumulate enough coins to purchase parts!
The new Battle Pass will be available in the game with the start of the new season.
A hotfix has been installed on the game servers. It includes fixes to critical bugs related to the disappearance of weapons from the characters' hands and a strong muzzle flash when firing the IMBEL IA2 Assault. Read on to learn the details. Thanks to everyone who reported the bugs!
Grenades: fixed a bug due to which the weapon in the characters' hands disappeared when using a mod that increases the weapon change speed on two different grenades.
IMBEL IA2 Assault: fixed a bug due to which the barrel mods did not affect the muzzle flash. It was always excessive and hindered the view.
A new agent is already available in the game! Ben Wheelson, aka agent Buffalo, has joined the ranks of Engineers. Ben grew up in Kansas, in a family of Native American-Comanche descent. In his youth, he was fond of football and boxing. When he was serving in the army, he attracted attention of government officials. And after the service, he joined the ranks of secret agents. For five years, nothing was heard of him, until one day Ben returned to his native Kansas. He thought that he could find peace, but fate decreed otherwise...
The Agent is part of the "Side by Side" seasonal update. You can learn more about it in a special event.
Details
Ben grew up in Kansas, in a family of Native American-Comanche descent. He was a tough guy, athletic, and obviously the captain of his high school's football team. However, Ben led an openly disorderly lifestyle and was not accepted into the professional football league. At the insistence of his father, he joined the army, where he continued competing in football and boxing, but now on behalf of his unit. Ben probably would have served his entire sentence without even touching a gun, but repeated breaches of discipline eventually led him to the brig. Command was ready to send Ben to a godforsaken base on a nameless island in the Pacific.
Yet just a couple of days before being sent to the brig, government officials came and offered Wheelson a job — they needed a healthy, resilient, and reckless specialist like Ben, and his lack of military experience wasn't an issue. Wheelson accepted the offer, and after only an hour, "left to an unknown destination" as stated in his file.
About five years later, he reappeared in his home state bruised, covered in scars and… missing a leg. But with a lot of money in his bank account. Ben Wheelson purchased a farm, which the state had seized from his father due to debt, and opened a garage where he spent most of his days. And during the night he would tell tales about his service at a local bar. Although he did omit classified details, of which there were many, he was more talkative than Dyke and Dr. May. Moreover, it turned out that they all served in the same unit, which took up special tasks from the European Alliance. On one of his missions, Ben was blown up by a simple mine, while covering for Francis, and it was Timothy who literally pieced him back together after the incident. But he couldn’t save Ben's leg.
Eventually, the town where Buffalo lived was attacked by Blackwood soldiers, who destroyed everything in their path, including the farm (apparently, in search of some VIP that was needed for their purposes). Once Buffalo returned after spending some time in the desert and found only ashes, he decided to find the villains responsible for this mess. But he fails solo and is captured and later rescued by Dyke and May, who are completing their mission for Unknown.
Agent Buffalo Set
In the agent's set, you'll find cool weapons of the "Motor Shop" series such as the Karambit, SIG MPX Copperhead and Makarov Pistol. Novelties are already in the game store.
Are you a weapon charm collector? We haven't forgotten about you! You'll find a stylish new item in the Agent set. Decorate your weapons with this exquisite accessory!
The game now features new achievements for eliminating enemies with new weapon models and unique spoils of war designed in the agent's style. Defeat your enemies with "Motor Shop" arms and decorate your profile!
How can I get the novelties?

In addition, you can get the agent's suit and Motor Shop SIG MPX Copperhead by completing tasks on the seasonal promo page.
We have some excellent news for the fans of the "Plant the Bomb" mode — a new map called "Antenna" will soon appear in the game! Find more about this map and check out its visuals in this article.
About the Map
In the previous special operation "Rift: Infiltration", the squad had successfully neutralized the objective — the Sedrium storage — and left the bridge in a hurry to escape the poisonous gas that started spreading after the explosion. The intelligence team discovered another infrastructural facility that strengths the defence of the Labyrinth base, a contact point. Blackwood set out to destroy the object's facilities to lower Labyrinth's defences. Warface will put their lives on the line to stop them and save the base.
"Antenna" in the Game
We've prepared a top-down view of the map, so you can familiarise yourselves with the bases, key spots, and bomb planting sites. Take a closer look at the key positions, capturing them can make defending your objects significantly easier. Be careful, though, as the enemy probably knows about them as well. The central corridor is excellent for a fast regrouping to a different bomb planting site to sabotage the enemy.
There are two Easter eggs on the map — be the first to find them! By activating one of them, you can get a unique achievement. Speaking of which, there will be Easter eggs on other "Rift" maps as well. Find and activate them all to get the whole set of achievement!

An update has been installed onto the servers! In it, you can find a novelty for medics, Agent Buffalo set, changes to the frag grenade, and a bunch of bug fixes.
A semi-automatic rifle developed by an Italian manufacturer, Benelli Armi, for shooting competitions. The novelty sports excellent damage and fire rate, as well as a spacious magazine. One of the special features of M2 SP is the ability to load two shells at once.
The novelty can be upgraded with mods, including unique ones. One increases damage to the extremities, the second significantly increases the amount of pellets for each shot while decreasing their individual damage, the weapon's range and accuracy.
The golden version has a slightly better range.
Agent Buffalo Set
Ben Buffalo is a Native American of Comanche descent. The set includes an Agent Buffalo Engineer Suit, SIG MPX Copperhead, Makarov Pistol, and a Karambit of the "Motor Shop" series, as well as skins for the regular versions of these weapons, an achievement set, and a Buffalo charm.
The agent's content will soon be available in the game. You can find out more about the tasks and rewards, and about Ben himself in an upcoming separate publication.

Bug Fixes
Important
Fixed a bug, due to which the scoreboard would sometimes not be displayed after a game and the rewards would arrive with a delay.
Fixed a bug, due to which some devices (such as M26) had additional bonuses from using skins of a different device. Skins are cosmetic and should not impact the item's characteristics.
Weapons and gear
Sentry 12: fixed a bug, due to which attachments would sometimes disappear off the gun (the issue was resolved by changing the attachments once).
SIG MPX Copperhead:
fixed a bug, due to which by picking up the same type of weapon of a different series, the ammo was restored instead of changing the weapon;
fixed a bug, due to which handle-hitting did not interrupt the reload of the left weapon, in case the player used a double-wield model;
fixed a bug, due to which the installed attachments would sometimes not be displayed in the post-match statistics screen.
Tavor CTAR-21 Special: fixed a bug, due to which the bullets would fly below the crosshair when using a 2x-zoom.
Vigilance Rifles A-M20: fixed a bug, due to which the long distance shooting sounds would be played out incorrectly.
Mauser C96 Custom (Akimbo-Guns mod): fixed a bug, due to which the character's hands would sometimes disappear after respawning and switching to pistols.
Winter Holiday Bat: fixed a bug, due to which hard strike sounds would sometimes not be played out.
Dual-wield weapons:
fixed a bug, due to which the time spent with having the weapon in hands would not be counted towards the player's personal statistic;
fixed a bug, due to which the shadow would sometimes be incorrectly displayed in the 1st person view.
SED's machine guns, Arcus Scout, Arcus Tactics, Arcus Megadez and the Hephaestus Flamethrower: fixed a bug, due to which it was sometimes possible to use the weapon even after it overheated.
Spectre vests: fixed a bug, due to which the icon of the HP restoration mod would sometimes not be displayed.
Fixed a bug, due to which some weapons with an underbarrel grenade launcher would work incorrectly when the player reached a checkpoint with empty ammo.
PvP
RM: fixed a bug, due to which no ranked currency would be gained when first advancing to a new league or division.
Bag and Tag: fixed a bug, due to which it was impossible to create a room on the Exclusion Area map.
District 2.0: fixed a bug, due to which matches on the old map version would not count towards the progress of special achievements for wins.
Bounty Hunt:
fixed a bug, due to which sound effects and comments would sometimes be played out with a delay;
fixed a bug, due to which the coin counter would sometimes overlap the weapon mod installation window.
District 2.0: fixed a bug, due to which the player could get into places on the map they were not supposed to reach when using certain gear set items.
