Update 0.1.26.23 (0.1.26.15 - Xbox, Playstation)

Update 20 juillet 2021

Greetings, soldiers! Welcome to the newest update, in which we introduce greater diversity in missions and continue to upgrade the AI soldiers.

Missions in the ‘Invasion’ mode have been transformed, creating different route options and strategic points, so it’s time to learn some new tactics!

Improvements include an improved interface that will make it easier to navigate the Campaign tab, new cards which will help you manage squads and their weaponry, and the ability to switch to any desired soldier of your squad, at any time, without cycling.

We have also added the option to forgive squadmates for accidental kills in the ‘Lone Fighters’ mode.

And, of course, we are fully focused on improving the AI: your soldiers will be better at following your orders, will react faster to close targets, and will be smarter when choosing their targets. These are just some of the things this update introduces, so let’s take a look at all the other changes.

The list of full changes:
