Morefun Studio Group is pushing the pace with this Season 4 announcement. The immediate standout in this CBT is the introduction of a new map environment, specifically a snow variant (strongly implied to be for Northridge). In a high-stakes extraction shooter, weather changes are never purely cosmetic—they force a hard reset on player tactics.
Tactical Implications of a Snow Environment
For the uninitiated, a shift to a snow map in a military sim completely disrupts the visual meta. Standard woodland or urban camouflage becomes a liability against a stark white backdrop, turning careless operators into high-contrast silhouettes. This update will likely force players to rethink their gear aesthetics and movement patterns, as utilizing cover becomes significantly more difficult when you stick out against the terrain.
Beyond visuals, snow environments typically alter audio dynamics. Footsteps on snow are distinct—often louder and crunchier—which nerfs aggressive flanking maneuvers. If you are jumping into the CBT, expect sound whoring to be even more prevalent than usual. The update also enables access to new Special Ops, suggesting a push for more varied PvE or objective-based engagements within the raid structure.
How do I get the exclusive banner?
