Tue, 6 October 2020



Operation: Breakaway

Check out the full changelist below and see what’s new in Operation: Breakaway.



New Map: Tell



Breakaway’s new map is called Tell, and is a reimagining of an Insurgency 2014 classic. Tell ramps up the intensity of Sandstorm's signature hardcore combat by squeezing everyone together while still allowing for diverse navigation routes down everything from narrow corridors to lengthy streets. It features tight urban CQB unlike any other level in Sandstorm.

Tell has support for the following game modes:

•   Push
•   Domination
•   Firefight
•   Checkpoint
•   Hardcore Checkpoint
•   Outpost






New Weapons: AUG A3, FAMAS F1, Underbarrel Shotguns

We’ve added 2 new small profile bullpup style assault rifle weapons for Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes: the AUG A3 for Security and FAMAS F1 for Insurgents. We’ve also added 3 new underbarrel shotguns as underbarrel weapon upgrades: the M26 MASS for Security, Buckshot Launcher for Insurgents, and Masterkey shared by both factions.

AUG A3 - Low fire rate, controllable recoil



FAMAS F1 - Very high fire rate, small magazine capacity


M26 MASS - Mag-fed, available for M16A4, M4A1, and AUG A3


Buckshot Launcher - Single shot 40mm buckshot shell, available for AKM, AK-74



Masterkey - Tube-fed, available for M16A4, M4A1, AKM, AK-74, M16A2, and FAMAS F1


The Masterkey and M26 MASS have no optics or iron sights. When using Aim Down Sights with them, they’ll point roughly at the center of the screen similar to the NVG Point Shooting upgrade seen on night maps. The Buckshot Launcher can use its iron sights to be aimed more precisely, but only has one shot until it needs to be reloaded. It’s basically a tactical blunderbuss.
