Friends!

Introducing Agent Meerkat, a formidable sharpshooter and exceptional leader! Join her as she introduces you to the elite squad “Samoon”, committed to infiltrating and organizing efficient “clean-ups” in hazardous facilities. Prepare to delve into her intriguing backstory and set, among which you’ll find “Mongoose” series weapons, unique achievements and charms.

Born into a family of military stalwarts, Rim Ayari's fascination with military science developed in her formative years. Following the illustrious path laid by her parents, she enrolled in one of Europe's eminent military academies, where she performed very well. Post-graduation, she seamlessly integrated into one of the Euro-Alliance's regular units and participated in several local conflicts.

However, the main turn in her career unfolded during Operation "Anubis", when North Africa succumbed to the uprising of rogue cyborgs. Tasked with restoring order and eliminating the remaining cyborg production facilities, Rim Ayari's unit embarked on a mission that would redefine her trajectory. Amidst the chaos, her outstanding combat and unrivaled marksmanship solidified her reputation as a peerless sniper.

Her success did not go unnoticed, propelling her to lead the elite "Samoom" squad — an initiative devised by the Euro-Alliance to infiltrate and clean up Blackwood's secret facilities. Rim's invaluable experience proved instrumental in the squad's operations. Although the official dissolution of the detachment loomed due to financial constraints within the Euro-Alliance, Rim and her teammates decided to preserve "Samoom," and began operating independently.




The “Mongoose" weapon series’ sandy look will instantly immerse you into the “Anubis” atmosphere! The weapon series includes the MTs-572 Astarta, the Taurus Raging Hunter and the Karambit.

Revamped level 18

A new level 18 is now here! This level revamp may just be the largest one that we've attempted yet. This is only its second week in the game, the first being as a preview. There are still many bugs, but we feel that it is in a good enough state to ship out as a Beta.

There are two maps to level 18, the spawn map and the main map. First, I will talk about the spawn map.

The spawn map is a maze of rooms, separated into three main halls. You start in a large colorful playroom with tons of oversized toys like a xylophone and rocking horse. You can even walk on the xylophone and play it! The first hallway is cloud-themed. There are many oversized dinosaur toys inside of it, among other props. The second hallway is a dark blue kindergarten classroom. There are small rock climbing walls near the edges, and a few toys in the classroom itself. In the back halls of the classroom is a strange area with uncanny AI paintings on the walls. This leads to the main map. The third hallway is a very dark children's bedroom with many blankets and beds. There are also several desks which contain drawings with some of our playtesters' names on them. This room also leads to the main map.

The main map is a vast expanse of childlike areas. It is separated into 6 main areas: the neighborhood, the school, the playground, the tubes, the clouds, and the church. First, the neighborhood contains all sorts of suburban houses similar to those of level 9. These houses contain many bits of trash and surreal scenes like lightbulbs baking on a stovetop. It is heavily implied that kids have lived in these houses at one point or another. Second, the school is an eight-part complex of rooms. The school itself is separated into two parts, the daycare and the high school. The daycare is filled with rooms like a stuffed animal room, a room full of boxes, a locker maze, and more. The high school is filled with rooms like classrooms, cafeterias, and libraries. Third, the playground is a smaller area with a large amount of modern playground equipment. There is also a tennis enclosure there, which you can walk into. Fourth, the tubes is the section that is the most similar to the original level 18. There is a lot of playground equipment here as well, however it is all run-down Russian playground equipment instead of modern American equipment. The area is categorized by a maze of playground tubes similar to the original. Fifth, you can take a rocket in the tube area to reach the clouds. This layer is the most barren of the 6 main areas, as it only has a cloud plane and an exit. However, it is a great way to get a top-down view on the map. Lastly, the church is located a bit out of the way. It is beside the school. It seems as if the church is always closed, but it is still an imposing landmark nonetheless.

There are two unique friendly entities in level 18, the Plush Dino and the Booknado. The Plush Dino is a stuffed dinosaur. He will lead you to the rocket ship slowly, but if you pet him he will follow you instead for a short time. The Booknado is a large tornado made of books and can be found in the library.

All of level 18 is categorized by a childlike atmosphere, uncanny proportions, and a strong sense of nostalgia. A great new track by LunaNightZ is in the school. More audio is coming soon though!

Added 5 new meats

Wretches, Skin-givers, Partygoers, Lighters, and Clumps now all drop meat most of the time. These meats aren't anything special, however some have some interesting effects. For example, the lighter meat has an aura emanating from it.

Added a keypad to the red room in level 2

The red room radio in level 2 had a set of numbers in the audio file that didn't have any correlation to the game until now. Now there is a keypad that leads to a secret room!

Added "far away entity spawners"

This is a new feature that continuously spawns entities if there are no entities on the level for some large levels. More entities will spawn if you shoot weapons frequently without a suppressor.

Now for some rapid-fire changes:

Added more pipe collars to level 2
Fixed the lods on the red room radio
Added a blue tape square to level 0
Turned down the effect of the metro's glow
Added more partygoer balloon color variations
Gun cases now delete themselves in hard mode

Hello everyone,

In this month's development log, I'd like to show you the big map of Chaos Front. The map includes seventeen planetary worlds and many important places within the Centersea Sector. Your mercenary corps can move around the map on your flagship, and time advances as you move on. However, time won't pass if you stay in one place.


When you reach a planetary world, you can take missions, and buy ships and arms, and some planets have gladiatorial arenas and army HQs. When you take a mission, an exclamation point animation will appear at the place where the mission is triggered. Moving the mouse over the place will show you how many days it will take to move to it.


Periodically, the warring armies will launch battles for the planets. You can see the intense animation of the two fleets on the map. Move your mercenary corps to the warring planets, you can choose which side to join and participate in the battle.

That's all for today. I will be back next month.

Best regards,



Han Zhiyu

START play test.

Version 13875644 has been released, featuring enhanced Vulkan/Steam Deck stability and the addition of real-time online leaderboards during gameplay, fix offline mode.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

With the release date of the "All Fear Comes from the Lack of Firepower" DLC, we got more gun-related content this week even from the most unexpected places.
Such as:

(You know I tend to make all those memes into the game. :P)
There is a new magic school in the Mages Guild known as the Gunmancy. You can now find Harry the Gunmancer to purchase guns in the Mages Guild. He can also teach a new spell that allows you to magically have more ammo during a gunfight. Nobody knows exactly how that spell works. Whenever something cannot be explained. That must be magic or quantum physics. :)

Meanwhile, as he has a new unique character appearance, you can use his appearance on your main character or customized teammates as well.



I hope you just had a good laugh. Now, let's move on to more serious topics.
The content development for the new DLC needs to be locked down to give it a proper release. That's just a good engineering practice to avoid any last-minute change to blow things up and cause the DLC to miss the deadline. So, the DLC content is already this week. But, before the content lockdown happens, two new guns have been added to the game.
Those are:

and


QBZ-97 is an interesting assault rifle. It's made in China by Norinco. However, unlike its previous version QBZ-95, QBZ-97 uses 5.56×45mm NATO ammo instead of the 5.8x42mm rounds used by many other guns made in China. It's also a widely exported weapon. You can even find it in Canada for civilian usage. Since we have Chinese players in the game's QQ group proposed to add this gun, I made it happen this week.

Beretta PX4 is a small pistol designed and manufactured by the famous Italian company Beretta for self-defense and law enforcement purposes. The reason to have it in our game this week is to provide another alternative to the relatively cheap but less useful M1911 and the powerful but expansive Desert Deagle.

We also got a not-so-supernatural version of equipment that can provide additional ammo during a gunfight just like the Phantom Magazine spell does. That's the ammo belt. Many enemies such as Russian Orc Soldiers, Undead Russian Soldiers, Bandits, Mercenaries, and Katan Outlaws now drop this equipment.

Talking about those Russian Orc Soldiers, they may now also have a small chance to drop the washing machines they stole. You know where it goes. Here comes the weekly make Putin's supporters unhappy part of the developer's diary. :)

Thus, let's go to the story content of the Siberia front.
The map has been expanded to the Church on the Hill. There are a lot more Russian Orc Soldiers and Meat Cubes, plus some vengeful spirits in the graveyards. All areas outside the main church building have been completed and are accessible.

Of course, there are always some small details here and there to add more insults to Putin's supporters.

But, again, the village is not all orcs, there are...or at least, there were humans. Thus, a document known as <<A Draft Dodger's Note>> can be found outside the village. Good luck to our Russian friends who are against Putin. I understand it's a nation where free speech is a crime and not everyone can risk everything to do it publically. Yet, what you do in secret is also admirable and valuable.

In addition to everything mentioned above, the dark elf I previously mentioned now finally appeared in the Sealed Palace. It does not matter if you were there 20 years ago or not. By default, he acknowledges you have forgotten everything. Yet, the ancient story from that long-lost Stone Age shall continue.

That's for this week. The weapon pack is coming. May the firepower eliminate all the fear of terror.
