Hello Squaddies,
[p][/p][p]A quick message from the Fireteam…team… before we all go on winter break.[/p][p]We wanted to give a massive thank you to all Squaddies for your support, and valuable feedback on Squad's newest gamemode, Fireteam, since its launch.[/p][p]It’s fantastic to see everyone playing, providing feedback and having fun. A few modded fireteam missions have also emerged already! In future Fireteam update posts, we definitely want to highlight what mods we have tried so you can try them out too! Check them out in the steam workshop by searching with the co-op missions tag. Link found here: Steam Workshop Link [/p][p]We didn’t want to leave everyone hanging over the holidays not knowing what is coming up for Fireteam, so here is what to expect from Fireteam in the January update. We have a bit of everything. Content, QoL updates, bug fixing and more![/p][p][/p][p]Quality of Life Features:[/p]- [p]The end-of-match screen will tell the non-host players that the host is picking the next mission, to discourage immediately clicking the Back To Main Menu button.[/p][/*]
- [p]In missions that require all players to be revived before mission victory, a reminder popup will appear when victory is blocked by a downed player.[/p][/*]
- [p]All missions have been renamed with distinct names, replacing the previous objective-type designations. (In the future, we aspire to make all the missions feel unique and have more varied main and side objectives - distinct names reinforce this more than names based on the main objective)[/p][/*]

- [p]Fixed the "FTL marker always visible" and "SL marker always visible" settings.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed issue where ESC key does not close the Select Fireteam Pack screen.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed issue where half of the squad did not have shadows - they are no longer vampires????[/p][/*]
- [p]The “Founder” tag in Fireteam server browser now reads as “Supporter”.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed issue with free missions being unavailable when Epic Online Services has an outage.[/p][/*]
- [p]Hid the “Close” button in the “New Round Screen” as it was redundant.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed issue with the Fire Support Weapon Skin leading to nowhere in the store.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed issue where hosting a new fireteam lobby from within a fireteam lobby led to a black screen - what a weird one…[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed players in Fireteam missions being able to switch to any kit using vehicles and ammo crates with insufficient ammo available for the requested kit.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fireteam Free Tier Mission \[+1 Mission][/p][/*]
- [p]Raiders on the Storm (Al Basrah) (5 players) - Insurgents are stockpiling arms on a heavily defended island. With all the bridges blocked, your squad must conduct an insertion via boat and assault the target.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fireteam Paid Tier Mission \[+1 Mission] [/p][/*]
- [p]Final Departure (Harju) (5 players) - Left behind as friendly lines are crumbling, traverse your way through a deadly forest battlefield to reach the coast and catch the last ride off the mainland.[/p][/*]
- [p]\[EXP] Council Decapitation (Gorodok) (5 players) - Intel suggests that a high level gathering of a local militia commander and Russian forces is taking place within striking distance. Your objective is to crash the meeting, but available assets are limited to recently captured militia vehicles. Marked as experimental because it is against two enemy factions at once, with two objective phases and extraction required. Releasing early to gather feedback on longer missions such as this.[/p][/*]
- [p]\[EXP] High Noon (Fallujah) (5 players) - Trapped behind enemy lines after a recon mission gone wrong, your squad is about to come under assault from all sides. Build fortifications, ration your supplies, and hold the perimeter until friendlies can break through to your position. Marked as experimental because the bots do not know how to destroy player deployables yet. Releasing early to gather feedback on the mission concept while we work on improved bot behaviour.[/p][/*]
- [p]\[EXP] Superfob (Al Basrah) (5 players) - Command wants an outpost set up in a strategic area. Load up a convoy with supplies and pick the most defensible position, then build fast and hold your ground against the inevitable counterattack. Marked as experimental because the bots do not convincingly attack over open ground yet. Releasing early to gather feedback on the mission concept while we work on improved bot behaviour.[/p][/*]
Have a great holiday break and see you in the new year.
