Soon, new features will be added to the game as part of the seasonal update "Legends". They include a festive in-game event "Challenge" to mark Warface Day, new PvP and PvE game modes and maps, updates to the shop and the showcase, and other nifty future deliveries!
Warface Day: New Content
In-Game Event
Mechanics of "Challenge"
We'd like to present to you a festive in-game activity with lots of rewards you can get for participating. Before rushing into battle, you'll have to choose which side to fight on — Warface or Blackwood. Choose wisely as it'll affect the rewards you get in the end. After making the decision, try and earn as many points for the chosen team and do your best, together, to get the unique rewards!
All the event participants that choose a side will receive a melee weapon as a reward. Which one and in what colour scheme depends on the final event winner. So, if Warface achieves victory in the event, everyone will get weapons with its symbols, even if you chose to fight for Blackwood.
The members of the winning team will also get a unique victory achievement.
For a particular contribution to the faction's progress, the player can get additional achievements.
Modes and Maps
You can start earning currency and push your faction forward in the competition in the PvE and PvP modes.
The PvP battles will take place in the Team Gungame Mode. You'll receive currency and faction progress points for any amount of matches.
PvE players will be able to earn currency and progress points by playing the "Earth Shaker", "Operation Blackwood", "Heist", and "Hydra" SpecOps. Only the first successful mission completion of the day will earn you the event currency (for the "Earth Shaker" you can get up to 3 rewards for daily victories on Easy, Normal, and Hard), while the faction progress points are gained for all matches.
For even better currency and faction progress gains, we've added a special contract. Its stages are opened daily. By completing the contract, you can boost your faction progress as well.
What's new in the game Team Gungame mode?
The mode now includes the "Hangar", "Gas Station", and "Destination" maps.
The "Destination" map has got visual changes to fit the Warface Day stylistic. You'll see festive decorations such as screens with screenshots of important game moments, balloons, and a ton of Easter eggs that the oldies of Warface will surely appreciate.
Eliminating an enemy with the last weapon of the chain will yield 10 points instead of 1, which will help the most skilled players to bring their team closer to victory.
Now users will see the next weapon in the chain. It'll help come up with tactics and plan your movements ahead.
Store and Showcase
A further novelty of this season is an updated showcase that now features a reward progress bar.
How does it work?
Use a special button to refresh the items in the showcase. The button is activated with the event currency.
Each refresh activation adds to the progress bar.
When 100% is reached, you'll get an exclusive offer to get one of four valuable items for free.
After making your choice, the other items become no longer available, the progress bar resets, and you can fill it up again and reach a new offer.
The amount of offers in unlimited.
The items for special offers are chosen randomly and may repeat.
What are the event rewards?
In the shop, you'll find a new device called "Adrenaline" and two faction charms. More about the device below.
In the showcase, under the first card, you'll always get items that you can take for free. Among such items are crafting cards for the new "Crater" series and parts. Under the other cards you'll find content from the previous updates. The price reduction varies and can reach 40%, all items can be purchased for the event currency.
Festive Content
There are festive novelties: "Flaming" helmet and gloves (with unique animations), an achievement set, and a weapon charm.
We will tell you more about the ways of obtaining these items in later publications.
Updated Lobby
We'll update the lobby to match the occasion — with the balloons, colourful lights, celebratory screens, and gift boxes you can really feel the holiday spirit!
Other Novelties
Weapons and Gear
Devices
A new device for the Rifleman called "Adrenaline" will be added to the game. By using it, the character immediately restores some HP and continues healing themselves for the next 2 seconds.
With mods, you can extend its effect duration and get additional bonuses:
Increased accuracy, reload and weapon switching speeds, but slower character movement;
Increased movement speed and stamina, but less protection against incoming damage;
Increased protection against incoming damage, but no HP regeneration (with most equipment);
+1 "Adrenaline" syringe.
Experiment and choose the bonuses that suit your play style most!
HK433
The HK433 is a German modular assault rifle fit for 5.56x45 bullets. It has a number of characteristics similar to the G36 and the HK416. This rifle was first introduced in 2017 and is branded as a universal, highly reliable weapon.
The HK433 offers a good combination of specs: high base and minimal damage, high fire rate and accuracy, as well as increased damage multipliers to the head and the extremities. The rifle has a number of unique attachments, including a hybrid sight.
You can install mods on it, unique ones included. The first one increases reload speed by swapping the magazine to a smaller one, and you can unlock it on the second mastery level. The second mod changes the firing mode to bursts-of-3 and boosts damage, whereas the fire rate gets reduced, and the recoil – increased.
The golden version offers better fire rate and a more spacious magazine.
New Box Type
We've added a new box with a guaranteed drop chance. If a regular weapon version is dropped form this new box type, you'll also get a permanent camo for it.
The contents of these experimental boxes include temporary and permanent versions of the Benelli M2 SP and the Taurus CT9 G2. The shotgun is a guaranteed drop for the 250th opening, and the machine gun — for the 500th. Together with the base models of these guns, you'll get "Myth" skins for them. Have fun and we'll see you in Warface!
The funniest day of the year is today— no kidding! Join in on the merriment, enjoy increased rates for every battle, and find out about a mysterious new faction!
The Unknown
Who are they and what are their goals — nobody knows for sure. The only thing that is certain is that they have green elements on their gear and weapons, as well as the fact that they hate both Warface specialists and Blackwood mercenaries. Learn more about the mysterious faction in a separate article.
From 15:00 UTC on March 31st until 09:00 UTC on April 3rd, enjoy double XP and WF$! Don't forget the "Happy Hours", they're ticking and the bonuses are adding up!

Show everyone your brilliant sense of humour and share your best joke on our Facebook!
Last year we've hinted at a new party to appear in the game. We're ready to unveil the truth and tell you more about the new opponents!
The Unknown
Who are they and what are their goals — nobody knows for sure. The only thing that is certain is that they have green elements on their gear and weapons, as well as the fact that they hate both Warface specialists and Blackwood mercenaries.
You'll be able to play as the new faction in PvE as well as in PvP Quickplay. The third party will not become available in Special Operations and RM until the year 2024!
Now — the best part! Playing as the Unknown in PvE and PvP will differ drastically from the regular gameplay. You're in for an unforgettable gaming experience!
PvE
The Unknown will act as opponents to Warface in PvE. They will take over a random Blackwood soldier and his appearance will change according to the Unknown colour palette.
It's important to remember, that once you get control over the mercenary, you will automatically become an enemy to both Warface and Blackwood — survival will not be easy!
At the first stage of the Unknown faction, the following Blackwood soldiers would be available:
Heavy Soldier;
Spec-ops;
Sniper;
Assault;
CQB;
Demoman;
Security Guard;
Enforcer.
In the future (as part of the upcoming in-game activities), we plan on giving players the opportunity to play as a Juggernaut, Mech 2300, and the KA-50.
Only players who've successfully finished PvE missions on Hard will be able to play in PvE on the side of the Unknown!
PvP
Specifically for the debut of the new faction, we've reworked the format of PvP battles in "Capture". The Unknown will always be in the defence (and they will be more numerous than Warface and Blackwood). The aim of the other factions is to deliver access codes to their respective home bases (and prevent the opponents from doing the same).
Of course, such large-scale innovations are impossible without an equally grand map reworking. The maps will become significantly bigger, and the placement of various objects will be changed.
The first of the updated maps will be available soon, so stay tuned!
Only players who've achieved victory at least 500 times in the PvP mode "Capture" will be able to participate in PvP as the Unknown!
Last but not least, we've prepared some fun activities for you to participate in before you get a hands-on introduction to the Unknown!
On March 28th we've installed a seasonal update "Legends" on the servers. The update featured many changes — ranging from new content to technical tweaks. Some of them required longer player information processing time than usual. This imposed an automatic limitation on the number of players that could log into the game at the same time, so that the server could correctly analyse their data (each player's information was analysed separately upon log-in). This elongated the waiting time and caused problems that manifested as a black screen. We've managed to stabilise the situation regarding the log-in waiting time issue. However, some of the other problems could not have been solved quickly, and they require additional research and fixing through maintenance work and an installation of a hotfix.
Solutions
Visual bug with currency subtraction when activating contracts. For example, Crowns could be subtracted twice for activating a "Legends" contract — 1000 instead of 500, but only on the client side. The server values are correct, and the contract's price (500 Crowns) is only subtracted once from the player's account. To restore the correct value, you need to update your balance — restart the game or buy anything from the game store.
Multiclass skins in RM. It is possible to buy a Rifleman skin for all classes in the RM shop. Shortly, we will take the item back from the players' inventories and replace it with the right one.
To Be Fixed in the Next Update
Incorrect work of the matches in-between the leagues in RM. Sometimes, four successful matches instead of three are needed to get promoted to the next league.
Currency limit can sometime be ignored in RM. Sometimes, the player gets more currency than the limit allows (3300) after finishing a match.
FPS drop caused by smoke grenades. Some systems lose in performance when the player looks at the smokescreen.
Freezes when interacting with the game's interface. Sometimes the game freezes when the player switches classes in the Inventory, when they leave the Shooting Range, or do some other activities.
What is Not an Issue
Random box animations became slower. We've received a multitude of complaints regarding slower opening of random boxes. This is a fix of an issue from the "Side by Side" season, when the animation of some actions within the interface sped up significantly.
Compensations
To thank you for your support and patience, we will give compensation in the upcoming days! Learn more about it in a separate publication.
If you encounter any issues that didn't make it into the publication, please report them on our social media platforms or in the bug reporting channels on our Discord.
On March 28, we installed the seasonal update "Legends". After that, together with you, we encountered technical difficulties when starting the game. Throughout the day, the project team was looking for a solution. We tried different options and, by the evening, we managed to stabilize the situation.
Now there are no problems when entering the game. You can update the client and continue exploring Warface. We understand that you had to deal with the inconvenience and a negative impression from the start of the season.
TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PATIENCE, WE WILL GIVE COMPENSATION IN THE UPCOMING DAYS!
The bonus will be granted to all players who tried to log into the game (even if they failed due to the issues) starting from 00:00 UTC (02:00 CEST) on March 27 until 23:59 UTC on March 29 (01:59 CEST on March 30).
The bonus includes:
Mega VIP Booster (3 d.);
Mastery Booster (3 d.);
Resurrection Coin (10 pcs.).
The items will be delivered to your Inventory on the "Services" page. After that, you will be able to transfer them to the game. We will inform you about the start and end dates of the compensation delivery.
The seasonal update "Legends" is filled with familiar activities. In this publication, we share what activities you can participate in in the upcoming months, and what rewards you can get for the efforts.
Battle Pass
The Battle Pass "Legends" will be active until May 28th 2023. Know your own strength and aim for this date as the season is unlikely to be prolonged.
This season, we've 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.
for the main progression (camos, weapon charms, permanent secondary weapons, achievements, consumables, and currency);
for the additional progression (BP coins);
for daily and class-specific contracts (a seasonal weapon box for the former, and BP coins and a cool class achievement for the latter);
weapons and parts in the seasonal shop line-up.
To get all the seasonal BP shop weapons, you will have to complete 4 class-specific contracts. One contract yields enough BP coins to buy one permanent weapon. There is a restriction: the contracts are only available from the 15th BP level for the owners of premium access of any type.
And if you want to also earn parts, then be active and unlock additional BP levels. The more you unlock, the more rewards you can buy from the seasonal shop. It is also worth mentioning, that if you wish to first buy some parts and then purchase guns, it is also possible.
So, to get the most out of the BP, you need to play actively and regularly, complete daily quests and contracts, but to get the bare minimum it is sufficient to unlock the basic progression levels.
More About the Rewards
Find the "Survivor" and the "Undead" weapon series in this Battle Pass, as well as thematic weapon charms and achievements. Let's take a closer look!
"Survivor" Series
The "Survivor" series includes the AK Alpha, Typhoon F12, Kriss Super V Custom, CDX-MC Kraken, Mateba Autorevolver, and a Cleaver. These guns can also be upgraded through the modification system (except for the Mateba Autorevolver and the Cleaver — they don't have mods). [expand type=more] [/expand]
"Undead" Series
In the "Undead" series, you can find the SA Hellion, IMBEL IA2 Assault, Benelli M2 SP, VEPR VPO-X3, Vigilance Rifles A-M20, SIG 552 Commando, Mauser Kar98k, Barrett M82A1, Mauser C96 Custom, Makarov Pistol, and the Black Hawk. The series itself is a reference to the legendary "Cyber Horde" special operation. Its fans would surely appreciate it! [expand type=more] [/expand]
New Charms and Achievements
Progression levels remained 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.
New achievements [expand type=more] [/expand] New charms
Battle Pass Coins
This is the main currency of the Battle Pass that you can spend in the seasonal shop. There are two ways of earning the BP coins:
by completing daily and class-specific contracts;
by unlocking the additional progression levels.
As we've mentioned before, one fully completed contract yields enough coins to buy some parts or one permanent weapon from the seasonal shop. If you complete all contracts and unlock every additional level you can buy out the entire shop line-up. Remember: the BP coins expire by the end of the season and will not be transferred to the next.
Click the button to find information about the rewards for the main and the additional progression, daily quests, and contracts.
This season's shop line-up offers two types of rewards: parts that you can get of up to 10,000 pcs., and powerful guns with mod slots from the "Undesad" series. The series includes the SA Hellion assault rifle, the Benelli M2 SP rifle, the Vigilance Rifles A-M20 machine gun, and the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle.
Both temporary and permanent weapon versions can be obtained with coins in the shop. Parts are sold in batches. All unspent BP coins will expire by the end of the season and will not be transferred to the next. Keep that in mind and try to use them all up!
To get permanent weapons, you would need to consequently purchase the preceding temporary versions: the ones for 3, 5, 7, and 9 days (costing 25/50/75/125 BP coins accordingly), the permanent version costs 175 coins, making the overall price for the permanent gun 450 BP coins.
Prestige
The "Legends" prestige season will be active until June 14th 2023.
Prestige levels are additional levels (from the 101st to the 1000th) in the progression system that you can unlock as long as the seasonal activity is on. Progressing through the prestige levels is the same as with the regular levels: you play and gain XP for every battle. The only difference is that prestige levels require more XP and are reset each season.
Changes that took place this seasson:
the overall amount of XP to open all the prestige levels has been decreased (from 10 662 000 to 10 117 300);
the list of level rewards has been updated: it now features golden weapons.
The "Legends" Ranked Matches season will be active until June 14th 2023.
Changes that took place this season:
Added a leaderboard. Now you can easily track your achievements in the RM: your current amount of points and your place in the global rating. The leaderboard is updated every few days.
Added the "Gas Station" map to the "Plant the bomb" mode.
Priority stack matchmaking. Since the launch of RM РМ 3.0, we've received a lot of suggestions on how to improve them. Among the most popular ones were: better team balance for the players playing in a stack. Now the matchmaking in RM will look like this: the system will try to fill the room with groups of the same size. For example, if five players in a clan decide to play ranked, they will face off against groups of five.
Rewards for league advancement. After the calibration stage, you will get a unique weapon charm that will change depending on the highest league you've managed to reach in the current season.
New items in the seasonal shop.
We've covered the changes to the RM in this article.
If you need a refresher about the details of the ranked PvP, you can look through this article. We also remind you that the ranked currency for the seasonal shop does not expire and will be transferred to the next season.
The "Legends'' season is already live on the game servers! Right now, the game offers lots of cool novelties: a new "Antenna" map for "Plant the Bomb", the "Rift: Revelation" PvE mission, improvements to the Ranked Matches, the "Hardcore" gear set, as well as new seasons of Ranked Matches, prestige, and Battle Pass. On top of that, we've fixed a lot of bugs from the previous game versions.
It's time to get back in line if you want to keep your character's name! Soon, the nickname database in the game will be updated, and characters' names of inactive accounts will be reset. They will be replaced by the default name (soldierХХХХ). Log into the game before April 12; otherwise, your character's name will be reset. On accounts with multiple characters, you should log into the game with each of them in order not to lose the characters' name.
Log into the game before april 12 to keep your character's name!
The renaming will affect those who have not logged into the game for a long time. If you are active and have recently played, your account name will not be reset. It is worth warning friends who have not visited Warface for a long time about the need to enter the game.
Users whose characters will be renamed will still be able to play without restrictions and will be able to choose a new name for free on a special page.
Very soon, new content will become available in the game: a Ranked Matches leaderboard, RM matchmaking improvements, new weapon series, a new agent young Lee Wharton and more.

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.
