Chapter 2 Release Date Announcement

I am happy to announce that Chapter 2: Jungle Storm update releases on October 15th! It is a free update for anyone who owns the game.

This is really a massive update, with a ton of new content and some new mechanics in the game. I'm really excited for you to try it.

Features

  • A new 9 mission campaign with comparable playtime to the Chapter 1 campaign.

  • New boss fight (no spoilers...)

  • Two new helicopters: the Ka-52 Alligator and the MH-53 Pave Low, the winners of our helicopter poll.

  • Unique abilities for all 11 helicopters, reflecting how each aircraft is used in the real world.

  • A Utility Slot system. Flares, chaff, EMP, airstrikes, and smoke grenades available as in-world pickups as well as upgrades in the hangar.

  • New weather system: Rain, lightning and thunder in the Jungle campaign.

  • New enemies, including BTRs, Shilkas, gunboats, swift boats, drone swarms, and new turrets.

  • Helicopter skins, unlocked with in-game currency. (with more to come based on your feedback)

  • A level editor and early file-based modding support. Build your own missions or write custom mods.

  • New water system with water buoyancy physics

  • Reworked gun overheating: guns will now force a cooldown after overheating, and there is an updated UI indicator that is more visible.

  • Various performance optimizations.

Thanks for being patient with us- this was quite a large update and I'm really excited to get it out there.

See you on October 15th!!
