It’s been a little while since we’ve heard about what our Infantry have been up to in the Training Center. In fact, your troops have been hitting the gym and the firing range with gusto, Commander. Your Riflemen report that they’re ready for some advanced assignments.
Significantly improved stats!
No increase in unit space!
The Level 14 Rifleman upgrade requires a blueprint that can only be purchased during Hardware Event Weeks in the Hardware Prize Store.
The Elite M26 Pershing L6+ Stat Mod Blueprint is now available in the Event Prizes store, allowing you to upgrade the Elite Pershing’s Health, Damage, Mine Defense, and Blast Defense stats to Level 6. Unlock the blueprint as part of this week’s ONP Event by spending ONP in the Event Prizes store!
Are all the new Strike Squads and Security Network Nodes still taking up too much precious storage space in your Warehouse? Fear not, Commanders. More upgrades to the Warehouse are here!
Warehouses Levels 1 – 5 now have two additional inventory slots.
Levels 6 – 13 now contain four additional inventory slots, and take less time to build.
Levels 10 – 13 now cost less supply and fuel to construct.
Upgrade to Level 14 to obtain a new maximum of 90 inventory slots.
The design team is also considering further quality-of-life improvements to the Warehouse designed to make unlocking more space easier, while also granting more control over item sorting and storing. More information on those updates will be coming down the road.
Have feedback to share about the specific improvements you’d like to see us make to the Warehouse going forward? Let us know over on Clan HQ.

You’ve seen the Firestrom and Ironsides Systems as parts of our on-going Security Network releases, and the brilliant minds at Gundar Arms Industries have done it again. This week, say hello to the all new Farsight Security System!
Purchase the Farsight Nodes in the Hardware Event Store, and Equip them to the above mentioned buildings by opening up the Building Upgrade menu. Once equipped, the Farsight System will provide a Range boost to friendly units within 100 yards of each equipped building. Deploy the entire system to extend the boost range to 150 yards. (note: boosts from overlapping buildings do not add. When in range of multiple buildings equipped with Security Network items, units will receive the single maximum boost amount).
AI enemies will not be receiving these upgrades for now.
What do you guys think of the all the new Security Network releases? Let us know your feedback and favorite Security Network configurations over on Clan HQ.
The grease-monkeys at Gundar Arms Industries have officially outdone themselves this time. Say hello to the Elite M26 Pershing: a monstrous new powerhouse elite unit reserved for only the ‘True Kings of Battle’. Do you have what it takes to prove that you’re the King of Kings?
Features Include:
Activate the turbo-chargers for “maximum overdrive”! Press the ‘E’ key to gain a 200% speed boost for 3 seconds. They have a 4 minute cooldown, so boost wisely! I wonder who would win in a drag race between the Elite Pershing and a Nimr?
At lower levels, this damage-soaking hunk of armor can rumble it’s way into a base, lure enemies to cluster around it, and then zoom out of range while your long-ranged support units send in barrages of area of effect fire.
At higher levels, it’s splash damage radius comes into play, so it can hammer clustered enemies with its own area of effect fire.
If you don’t obtain the L7 Blueprint before the ONP Event ends, you will be capped at L6 until the Blueprint returns. The Blueprint and Sub-components are cheaper to help out with this, and you will have enough time to unlock all seven levels before the event ends, so long as you crush your enemies and obtain ONP quickly.
If you miss out on the unlock, never fear. We will be fully unlocking the Elite M26 Pershing later this year for players who don’t complete the upgrades on time. Your technological edge will only last so long, so you’d better take advantage of it!
AH-64 Apache Strike Squadrons
Get ready to light up more alert beacons, Commander! The AH-64 Apache Strike Squadrons are here. These reserve AH-64’s will give the enemy a nasty surprise. Deploy up to two AH-64 Strike Squadrons to your Ambush Points!
AH-64 Apache Strike Squadrons can be upgraded in your Weapons Lab. At Level 1, three AH-64’s deploy when the Ambush Point is triggered. You can currently research up to Level 5, which will result in seven AH-64’s deploying when the Ambush Point is triggered.
Even if the enemy retreats, the deployed AH-64’s will remain until destroyed or you return to repair your base. Don’t forget, Strike Team and Strike Squadron units benefit from equips and unit levels.

Elite Nimr L6+ Stat Mod Blueprint Bug Fixes
In the previous ONP Event, there was a bug that was causing the Elite Nimr L6+ Stat Mod Blueprints to not appear in the ONP Store as intended.
The bug is now fixed, the blueprints are now available, and the store menu has been cleaned up for easier browsing by dividing L6+ Stat Mod Blueprints into three separate store menu sections for Infantry, Armor, and Aircraft.
đ Beware, Commanders! Big Brother is watching. đ
The Security Network is now live, and The Firestorm System is officially the first of many new surveillance systems now available for installation.
What is a Security Network System?
These special targeting cameras find weak points on enemy units, creating boosts for nearby defending units. Install cameras to your Tactical Ops Center, Warehouse, Reserves Bay, Weapons Lab, Leader Academy, Leader Barracks, Transmitter, Academy, Barracks, Maintenance Bay, Motor Pool, Maintenance Hangar, and Airfield for maximum defense.
Purchase the Firestorm System in the Hardware Event Store, and Equip them to the above mentioned buildings by opening up the Building Upgrade menu.

More Security Network Systems will be rolling out over the next several weeks that will allow you boost your defenders’ Armor and Range. This is part of a continued ongoing effort to help boost player base defense capability. That said, AI enemies will not be receiving these upgrades for now.
