Insurgency: Sandstorm's first major content update brings new weapons and modes
New World Interactive are now slowing down it seems, having released Insurgency: Sandstorm on PC, a new update has arrived today, giving access to new weapons, game modes and more, check out what is included in this video.
The Arcade experience that ships with this new update lays the foundation for adding fresh, new, non-traditional game modes into Insurgency: Sandstorm. Things are beginning with a classic Team Deathmatch mode, which removes faction restrictions on weapons and upgrades, and gives more supply points to make your selections. Rules are simple: Build your ideal loadout and kill enough of the enemy to win the match. New modes will be introduced to Arcade regularly with future updates.
To add some spice to this new kill-focused mode, five new weapons are also being added to Sandstorm in this update. Two new variations of the MP5, the MP5A2 and the MP5A5, are low caliber weapons with good recoil control, perfect for close quarters combat. There are also a pair of new machine guns, the M240B and MG3, offering high-caliber damage and an absurd rate of fire respectively. Finally a new Security handgun, the PF940, features 9mm rounds and a massive high capacity magazine upgrade of 31 rounds.
The game is still on track for its console release in 2019, but no dates have been given, or even specific platforms.
