Alpine Arrives in Clash Squad
Described as a fusion battle experience, the new Alpine map is finally available in both Clash Squad and Ranked modes. There’s a couple of top landing spots to take advantage of when you jump in, so expect Snowfall, Militia and the Docks to be hotly contested.
Bermuda Update
The Bermuda map has seen some adjustment, with additional cover added to Katulistiwa, Mars Electric, and Mill. Plus there’s brand new areas to explore, with Hangar and Nurek Dam both added in the OB32 update.
Charge Buster Added
OB32 Illuminate also brought with it a brand new weapon to play with. The Charge Buster is a shotgun which allows players to hold firing and build up energy to release a shot packed with power. That said, resist the temptation to hold fire for too long, as overcharging the weapon can cause backfire.
Charge Buster Specs
- Base Damage: 15
- Rate of Fire: 0.3
- Magazine: 3
- Charge: Charging will increase range & damage, and reduce spread.
