Hello, Raiders
Summer time is over, and with vacations out of the way, we have been working on a number of new features and fixes. New content takes a while to make for our small team, but we are steadily making progress on some exciting new additions.
New Boost: Cache Basket
Make them eat lead with a side of gunpowder.
Got a new boost for you all, it's one we've been hearing people ask for: ammo regen!
While your Warcry is active with the Cache Basket boost equipped, the team regenerates ammo every second. As a passive effect it also increases your ammo reserves and pickup rates.
More proficiencies are always in the works, remember to suggest any ideas, we love to see them!
Collectable Equipment
A considerable quality of life change to equipment, non-grenade type equipment can now be picked up if you want to throw it again or place a mine somewhere better.
LuaJIT
During our testing, we have identified a funny issue with raid's implementation of LuaJIT. It turns out the JIT compiler was somehow never actually enabled properly. Now we have enabled it, and even updated it, so hopefully you should see some performance improvements with this update.
Be aware, this will inevitably break lua mods until the mod loader is fixed.
RAID turns seven
After the games initial brief lifetime and lengthy hiatus, we celebrate the seventh year since its release and we plan for an exciting next year! We didn't have time to prepare any festivities, but know that we are grateful for everyone who kept with the game. Here's to many more years of raiding.

Mod users; Please check for broken mods!
If your game is not launching and you may have outdated or incompatible mods installed, please be sure to completely uninstall mods if you are having immediate issues!
In your RAID World War II directory remove IPHLPAPI.dll or WSOCK32.dll files by hand, as verifying game cache will not remove these files.
