Howitzer back with a Fireteam Update! This time we’ll cover some modded mission adventures and what more to expect from Fireteam in Squad’s next update.
In December's update, we mentioned that modded missions had already started to turn up in the Steam Workshop. After our holiday break, we decided to pick a handful of modded missions to play through as a team. We had an absolute blast! It’s incredible to see some of the crazy things modders are doing with Fireteam. We want to make this a regular thing for us to do to see what the community is up to.[/p]
We recommend these two by Harryhoot1. You’ll definitely need a full team of 5 to take these on.
This is a little playthrough summary we made of Boreal Guard. It was an action packed operation. Well paced and very hectic at points. Also just to point out this was just one playthrough. Subsequent playthroughs may very well play out differently depending on how the mission was made!
1 & 2 - We had to defend our position from an RGF push.
3 - We advanced forward in some vehicles we acquired and destroyed a mortar cache.
4 - We headed into the village from the north to support friendly troops that were there. We encountered pretty stiff resistance here! As several counter attacks took place.
5 - Heading out to the last objective, we took vehicles and B-Lined it to the objective through a lot of enemy resistance. Rather than dealing with them, we just drove through in our vehicles.
6 & 7 - After some light resistance we finally got to the objective! Mission over.
The whole thing took around 35 minutes. A great time! Go check it out!
Scoreboard - Something that has been requested by the community has been adding a Scoreboard at the end of a mission. This has now been implemented in Fireteam! Check out the image below to see what that looks like.
Raiders on the Storm - Fixed some minor bugs with this mission. Multiple objective markers showing up despite there being only 1 objective and updated objective text.
Experimental Missions now display an experimental mission image preview. So you know it’s.. More experimental…? yes…
We will be leaving the Experimental Missions in for the February update. However, In the March update we will be removing all the current Experimental Missions for review and reassignment. So play them while you can!
We will be adding new missions to Fireteam. All Squad players will be able to play the Free Tier mission, and everyone who owns the Supporter Pack or the Founder Pack will be able to play the Paid Tier Mission (at no extra cost).
Sand in your TOWs (Pacific Proving Ground) - A mission intended for smaller fireteams and inexperienced players, your squad must travel along the island taking out the enemy TOWs that are stopping allies from joining you.
Reactor Capture (Sanxian Islands) - Enemy forces have broken through our frontline and taken the north island. They set up a strong base at and around the power plant. Your squad must break through the enemy perimeter and capture the power plant back.
Waves of Thunder (Sanxian Islands) - The enemy has a major helicopter base on the East Side of the island which must be neutralized at all costs. Your squad needs to infiltrate the target location and destroy the ammo caches within.
The 'Makeshift' theme was the winner of the community weapon skin vote. We are currently developing a skin based on this theme and will show off the final design when it’s ready.
