New World Interactive have released a new update for Insurgency: Sandstorm dubbed Operation Breakaway. The update features a handful of new content such as new mode, new map, new weapons, new cosmetics, among other things.
The 1.8 patch introduces a new Co-op mode, a new map, new weapons, new cosmetics, and much more in this coup d’etat themed update where security forces have gone rogue and joined the insurgents.
The newly added mode, Outpost, is a brand new co-op mode designed for fast, fun, and frenetic gameplay where players being with limited equipment and gain more as they work through waves of increasingly difficult enemies.
Among the newest weapons, the Security receives the low recoil AUG A3 assault rifle while Insurgents get the high fire rate FAMAS F1. Weapon customization has been greatly expanded with six new weapon upgrades including new underbarrel shotguns and foregrips available for all classes.
And finally, the newest map, Tell, features a style of tight urban CQB that differs greatly from the game’s other maps. It squeezes everyone together for more fast paced close quarters action where the new underbarrel shotguns come into play, but still allows for multiple navigation and flanking routes for more tactical and methodical players.
