This update both honors the Australian and New Zealand soldiers of the First World War and expands the battlefield with new weapons, a new tank, and two community maps, alongside a wide range of improvements and fixes.

Britain receives six new ANZAC uniforms, one for each class, featuring Australian and New Zealand troops, including Māori representation.

We’ve added 8 new weapons across factions, while also reworking loadouts to better fit each class.

Britain

• Martini-Henry Rifle
  A powerful single-shot rifle, already outdated by WWI but still used in reserve roles.

• Webley Self-Loading Pistol
  An early semi-automatic pistol, from Webley.

• Sawn-Off SMLE Mk III
  A close-range adaptation of the standard British rifle, suited for tunnel combat.

• Howell Automatic Rifle
  A experimental automatic conversion of the SMLE.

• Webley Revolver with stock and bayonet
  A rare setup combining a revolver with both a stock and bayonet for close combat versatility.

Germany

• Karabiner 88
  A shortened bolt-action rifle used widely early in the war.

• Maschinengewehr 08/15
  A lighter, but still heavy version of the MG08, bringing machine gun firepower closer to infantry.

• Mauser C96 with stock
  A semi-automatic pistol with a shoulder stock, turning it into a compact carbine.

We’ve introduced a new class focused entirely on automatic weaponry.

• Centralizes LMG balance

• Moves Stormtrooper toward explosives

• Keeps Specialist focused on unique weapons

We hope this helps make class roles clearer and more meaningful.

• New constructibles, including concrete trench walls

• Larger and more varied fortifications

• Reworked constructible UI:

  • Clearer layout

  • Easier selection

  • Better organization

Additional UI improvements have also been made, including updates to the troop menu.

Two new community-made maps are now available in both Singleplayer and Official servers.

Marne by TheGamingHaribo features a river, a factory, and a French town set within rolling hills and open fields.

Fosse-Martin by Wilfried offers a more rural battlefield, with muddy terrain, trenches, and scattered farm structures shaping close-range engagements.

A fast British WWI tank built to break through lines and attack behind enemy positions.

• Players can now report others directly in-game, allowing our admins to respond faster and more effectively. Global ban and mute lists now update in real-time, removing previous delays in enforcement.

• We’ve also introduced a dedicated Code of Conduct to clearly outline expected behavior. We take toxicity seriously and will continue to act on it. You can view the Code of Conduct here.

• Completely reworked network engine

• Lower ping

• Better input responsiveness

• Improved overall performance

• Major improvements to hit registration

• More consistent gunplay

• LMGs now slow movement while aiming

• Additional slowdown while firing

This makes them less effective as run-and-gun weapons and more situational.

• New uniforms for Germany and France for the LMG class

• Minor updates to existing uniforms

• UI improvements across multiple menus

• Continued performance optimization

• Hundreds of bug fixes and smaller improvements

Thanks for playing. May the force be with you.
