Hello Gamers™,
The time is nearly upon us. Operation: Cold Blood is only eight (!!!) days away.
To those of you who played the 1.9 CTE, thank you very much for your time. We received a lot of feedback from the CTE players and it honestly helps us determine adjustments we can or should make before the official release.
There were over 440,000 kills in the 5 days of the CTE alone, with M1 Garand leading the way with 68,792! The best weapon in the game (the Welrod) had a meager 360 kills, 12 less than the combat knife.
One thing we saw during the CTE is that a lot of Outpost scenarios are still easier than we intended, so we will be tweaking those in upcoming updates.
We also used heatmaps like the one below to determine where the most kills and deaths were happening.

I’d also like to say that we have had a huge breakthrough as far as how the AI interacts with smoke goes - so in 1.9 you will notice a large improvement.
If you didn’t try the CTE or aren’t sure what that even is, take a look here https://sandstorm-support.newworldinteractive.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049219032-Community-Test-Environment-Frequently-Asked-Questions- - it’s a great way for people to try upcoming content early, and it helps us a lot. All major releases such as Operation: Cold Blood will have a CTE a couple of weeks before release.
We have a few more reveals coming for Operation: Cold Blood in this final week before release, so keep an eye on our socials (@InsurgencyGame on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram) and our update website (www.sandstorm.game/coldblood).
