Green Army Men Beach Party today, the latest DLC for the award-winning and critically acclaimed first-person shooter. Available now on Steam, players can look forward to taking part in the gritty and strategic 64-player matches Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is famous for with a twist in this brand-new DLC, filled with all the army-green plastic this summer can handle.

To celebrate the release of the new update Tripwire is kicking off a Free Week and sale on Steam that starts later today and runs until 10AM PDT on Tuesday July 16th – Don’t miss this opportunity to play for free and pick up the game at a low price!

After the success of the Christmas Green Army Men seasonal event, Tripwire Interactive, Antimatter Games, and the Green Army Men Mod team agreed to make the Green Army Men mod easily available to all Rising Storm 2: Vietnam players. The result is Rising Storm 2: Vietnam – Green Army Men Beach Party, a DLC add-on, completely complied and easily activated from within the main game.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam players will beat the heat in this figurine beach bash with vehicles, supporting artillery, mortars, and rockets all turned into toys. The Green Army Men Beach Party DLC also removes fall damage, in order to create a more realistic experience, and includes multiple classes with over 12 weapons. Players can keep it cool on four maps: Beach Party, Backyard, Pool Party, and the returning Green Army Men Christmas map! Fight through sandcastles, building blocks, baseball bats, barbeques and more, all while avoiding getting melted by the enemy team.

All Rising Storm 2: Vietnam players can play Green Army Men Beach Party for free as the Rifleman class. If players want to unlock more classes and support the development team, there is the option to buy the Green Army Men Upgrade, which unlocks all the other classes for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam – Green Army Men Beach Party.

As a way to support the modding community and grassroots game development that helped Tripwire Interactive’s founding members get their start in the industry, all revenue from the Green Army Men Upgrade purchases is shared with the Green Army Men mod team to support their valuable efforts and accomplishment, building high-quality content in their spare time.

Thank you to everyone playing the 1.4 update of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam! We’re rolling out a hotfix to address some community feedback and fix some bugs which have come to light since we released.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where players were able to melee attack in spawn protection
  
• Fixed an issue where Steam Workshop would not update content on some servers

As always, thanks again for your continued support!

Join The Conversation

Thank you to everyone playing the 1.4 update of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam! We’re rolling out a hotfix to address some community feedback and fix some bugs which have come to light since we released on Monday:

Addition to the Sgt. Joe's Support Bundle

Added the Dac Cong camouflage, popularly used by North Vietnamese forces since the mid ‘60s to the Sgt. Joe's Support Bundle as a camo pattern option for the NVA. This is available to players in light, and dark Dac Cong, with the additional option to equip foliage to both patterns.



Bug Fixes

Scout Recon Ability Fix/Balance

Fixed an issue where 3D world icons would be displayed on enemies when Scout Recon was called in. This proved to be overpowered and acted in unintended ways with infantry. These 3D world icons will now only be placed on helicopters during Scout Recon.

Peripheral Bullet Whip Indicator Fix

Fixed an issue where the onscreen markers indicating the direction of fire after a player has been hit would not appear, regardless of the ‘Peripheral Bullet Whip Indicator’ setting chosen by the player.

Ho Chi Minh Trail Redeploy Timer UI Fix

Fixed an issue where the UI displaying ‘time to redeploy’ would display incorrectly when waiting to respawn if the Ho Chi Minh Trail commander ability was in effect

Map Bugfixes

Fixed an issue where the sides on Da Nang would not be appropriately reversed depending on who was attacking and defending during the campaign
Fixed an issue on Khe Sanh where dust PFX would flicker when looking South from Objective A

Molotov Spawn Protection Fix

Made it so that Molotovs thrown in spawn protection no longer kill players. Molotovs thrown into spawn protection will visibly detonate, but do no damage and not spawn any of the splash particles you'd normally get. Molotovs that are already burning when spawn protection activates will now be forcibly shut down.

We want to extend a big thank you to the community members that reported this and allowed us the opportunity to fix the issue!

Crash Solution
Some users have been experiencing a crash on launch since the release of Update 1.4. To resolve this crash, please delete your local My Docs/My Games/Rising Storm 2/RO Game/Cache folder

As always, thank you for your continued support! We are continuing to work hard on Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, and would not be able to provide fixes like these without your feedback.

Antimatter Games & Tripwire Interactive

We’re happy to say that Update 1.4 (our 14th major update since launch) is now live. This update, of course, brings you more free content from AMG/Tripwire, but also the first community-made content with this update - and setting up for more.

We’ll talk about our new content and DLC in a moment, but first let’s focus on the community-made content. We’ve always tried to support that community as much as possible - and this time, we’re turning that into cash for them, setting up new rev-share deals.



The first of these that you will see is the new “Sgt. Joe’s Support Bundle” cosmetic DLC. This is based off a whole pile of the great cosmetic gear created by the team behind the Gameplay Overhaul Mutator. We’ve brought that into the game, added some extra touches - and are sharing all the revenue generated with Sgt Joe and the team. The DLC contains almost 40 different cosmetic items and is available now, with the release of Update 1.4, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1042390/Rising_Storm_2_Vietnam__Sgt_Joes_Support_Bundle_DLC.



The second community-built piece you will see is a new button on the Vietnam main menu screen, for the Green Army Men - “Coming Soon”! After the success of the Christmas event, we wanted to make the GAM mod much more easily available to everyone who plays RS2: Vietnam and have worked with the GAM team to turn it into a DLC add-on for Vietnam, all in one place, launchable from within the main game and accessible to everyone. Once it is released, all owners of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam will be able to play GAM for free, using the base Rifleman class. And if, like us, you want to help support the Green Army Men developers (who are a mod team, building all of this in their spare time) you will be able to go and buy the Green Army Men Upgrade, which unlocks the other classes for you. All revenue from that Upgrade is shared with the Green Army Men team to support their efforts! For the full details of the Green Army Men DLC and it’s availability, see here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1062590/Green_Army_Men/



There’s also a new cosmetic DLC pack from us as well - the Specialist Pack, for all those of you who want to run around the jungle looking like you’re truly a hardcore special forces operator. It is available with the release of Update 1.4 and you can find the details here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1074650/Rising_Storm_2_Vietnam__Specialist_Pack_Cosmetic_DLC

Maps

• Da Nang

The Da Nang Air Base (Also known by its French name of “Tourane”), was a major staging point for the American air power to quickly respond to threats coming from North of the DMZ with flights from both the US Air Force and Marine Corps. The base suffered many attacks from both the NLF and PAVN forces over the years

As a territories map, Da Nang will feature a defending Marine team attempting to hold off an NLF force as it works its way into the perimeter, aiming to capture the center of the base.

• Khe Sanh

Khe Sanh takes us along the DMZ to the border of Laos and the US Marine garrison stationed there. The battle for this base lasted over a month and drew in much of the South’s resources to help defend it at all costs, believing it was the prize the North sought to achieve before returning to the negotiation tables. Many now believe it was a diversion to take away attention and manpower from NLF build up further south in what would then become the Tet offensive.

With the Marines once again on the defense, the attackers of this territories map will be the PAVN.

• We have rebalanced VNTE-Demilitarized Zone and VNTE-Apace Snow, increasing the tickets across the board for attackers and defenders on both maps.

Weapons

• K50M

The K50M submachine gun was a product of taking a Chinese Type 50 (based on the PPSH-41), rechambering it for 7.62 and shortening the barrel length along with improving the sights. It could be produced in large numbers in simple workshops set up as needed to support equipping both the NLF and PAVN forces. PAVN Sappers will find this under their loadouts with Update 1.4.

Character Customization DLC










With the release of 1.4 comes two new DLCs.

• Sgt. Joe’s Support Bundle
  
• Specialist Pack

Gameplay

• On VNTE-Saigon we have modified the spawn protection so that defenders cannot move too far up the objective

• Reacting to community feedback we have readjusted the amount of ammunition available to the Cobra gunner, reverting the AK1G Turret to the original 50 grenades. We have also reduced the distance at which an enemy is automatically spotted from the Cobra
  
• We have decreased the time that the Molotov Cocktail flame is on the ground. The main pool of fire has been reduced by 20 seconds and the additional fire spots have been reduced by ten seconds

Hello everyone!

With the release of Update 1.3, the teams here at Antimatter Games and Tripwire Interactive have pivoted towards getting the next major release ready. Update 1.4 will include:

• 2 New Maps
  
  • Da Nang
    
  • Khe Sanh
  
  
• A New Weapon
  
  • K50M

The Da Nang Air Base (Also known by its French name of “Tourane”), was a major staging point for the American air power to quickly respond to threats coming from North of the DMZ with flights from both the US Air Force and Marine Corps. The base suffered many attacks from both the NLF and PAVN forces over the years

As a territories map, Da Nang will feature a defending Marine team attempting to hold off an NLF force as it works its way into the perimeter, aiming to capture the center of the base.



Khe Sanh takes us along the DMZ to the border of Laos and the US Marine garrison stationed there. The battle for this base lasted over a month and drew in much of the South’s resources to help defend it at all costs, believing it was the prize the North sought to achieve before returning to the negotiation tables. Many now believe it was a diversion to take away attention and manpower from NLF build up further south in what would then become the Tet offensive.

With the Marines once again on the defence, the attackers of this territories map will be the PAVN.



The K50M submachine gun was a product of taking a Chinese Type 50 (based on the PPSH-41), rechambering it for 7.62 and shortening the barrel length along with improving the sights. It could be produced in large numbers in simple workshops set up as needed to support equipping both the NLF and PAVN forces. PAVN Sappers will find this under their loadouts with Update 1.4.

Both maps (along with the K50M and a fix for the VOIP issue introduced in Update 1.3) will be hitting the Community Test Branch this weekend for bugs and player feedback. Make some time this weekend and join in on Saturday at 2 PM EST (-5 GMT)

And, because we know you are all inquisitive - yes, there is more DLC coming. One will be a cosmetic pack created by us, as normal. The second will be a celebration of the efforts put in by Sgt. Joe (and friends) on the GOM mod, with a cosmetic DLC pack derived from their work, where all revenue will be shared with the mod team. A concrete way for us all to say “thanks”!

For good measure, there are also plans afoot for more from the Green Army Men team as well, to follow on after the release of 1.4. Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you for your continued support!
