Warface Update [30 of July]
Soldiers!
The latest update has gone live on Warface servers featuring "Spectre" gear, specs improvement of several guns, revamped "Widestreet" map, new weapons and skins and more. Be first to try them out!
"Spectre" Armor
The largest gear line-up codenamed "Spectre" is being gradually introduced into Warface. It will be composed of several dozens of items. Make the most of it to compile a unique bonus set that will suit perfectly your personal gameplay style!
In total, the series includes three armor groups: “Gamma”, “Delta” and “Sigma”. The first group “Gamma” which is the core of the series is already up for grabs as well as part of the second one “Delta”. Learn more about the ways of obtaining the items and about their specs in the dedicated articles.
Progression System Tweaks
Via the progression system players can unlock new gear, weapons and attachments with VP gained in battles. Every player seeks to get their hands on the desired objects and try them out as soon as possible; however, the process may take them quite a while.
You will keep your current progress for the next unlockable item. Let's say you've accumulated 2 431 VP out of 24 310 VP before the update - that is 10%. Now your progress will eaqual to 800 VP out of 8 000 VP - still 10%.
Please note that the new requirements for unlocking guns, gear and attachments will apply to the items still locked. The quantity of unlocked objects will remain the same.
New Weapons
The game client now boasts six new arms that will soon be supplied to the store: a top-tier Rifleman performer Stoner LMG A1, the shotgun Marlin 1894 Custom that uses slug rounds, the submachine gun SIG MPX SBR Custom firing four-round bursts, the famous Thompson M1928, the golden version of the familiar and favoured by many precision rifle McMillan CS5 and the pistol Maxim 9 with an integrated silencer.

Arsenal Improvements
The new guns are pleasant to wield but do not overlook the old models: their stats have been significantly improved which translates into new experiences and diversifies habitual gameplay.
Do you already own some of these cool arms?
Revamped ''Widestreet'' Map
One of the most popular Free for All maps "Widestreet" has been significantly improved in terms of appearance. As for the gameplay, there are no drastic changes; you will find the majority of key objects at their normal places, so it will be comfortable to orient in the field.
But for one difference: players will no longer be able to get up on the second floor of the high building in the centre of the map meaning that it will be impossible to secure this favourable vantage point and deal numerous death blows.
Visual overhaul includes improved map illumination and more vivid and realistic texture of surrounding objects. Thus, we managed to give the map a unique oriental touch and make it transparent enough to read the enemy well. There is less grass on the map so it will be more difficult to hide in it.
Character Animation Improvements
Character animation has been improved in third person view. This is the first part of tweaks made to the following actions of male and female characters equipped with various weapon types:
- start of running forward;
- sprint start;
- a step with a left or a right turn;
- shift to the left or to the right;
- shooting while moving to the left or to the right;
- character's stillness;
- walk backwards;
- jump;
- movement and shooting while crouching;
- the character’s head position while sliding.
This is only part of the changes aimed to improve characters’ movements. We will go on working in this direction to deal with other animation issues in the upcoming updates.
