Greetings, Operatives. Prepare yourselves for the seventh episodes of First Assault’s content updates! This week, you will be able to engage the enemy in our brand new and highly anticipated TDM map, Urban City! We are also bringing you a new sniper rifle, weapon skin, and two new Signature skins. Review the patch notes below.
MAP
Urban City – Team Deathmatch
You may have seen Urban City from First Assault early days, in Closed Beta Test weekend. Now it’s officially in the game, ready for you to play! Urban City is our rendition of an inner city street battle, like those you see in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. We imagined Public Security Section 9 agents battling in the streets of a busy city, with tall skyscrapers and lights everywhere. This map caters to all types of playstyles, from snipers who like to hold down their fort, to those who like to run & gun. Let us know on the forums what you think of Urban City!
WEAPON
SR: M99D – This sniper rifle is specialized for individual warfare. It is highly accurate and deadly.
WEAPON SKIN
KH-417: RED SKULL – Sometimes death is the only escape.
CHARACTER SKINS
PAZ: SIGNATURE – A familiar look from the circles Paz used to run with.
BORMA: SIGNATURE – Even for a night on the town, Borma comes ready for a fight.
