Overview
- Arrowhead released version 5.0.2 on January 22 after a brief delay, with the Redacted Regiment Warbond activating alongside new Commando missions.
- Commando missions remove reliable air support, require reinforcements to be queued in advance, and limit destroyer support to short windows.
- Suppressors receive a major buff with roughly a 50% reduction to firing noise radius and reduced enemy detection when shots miss for units like Devastators, Berserkers, Spewers, Chargers, Impalers, and Watchers.
- The Warbond adds stealth‑oriented gear including the R-72 Censor and AR-59 Suppressor primaries, P-35 Re-Educator sidearm, B/MD C4 Pack and TM-01 Lure Mine stratagems, and Reduced Signature armors RS-89 Shadow Paragon and RS-67 Null Cipher.
- The slim PC build becomes the default install with the larger version kept temporarily, and the patch tweaks the M-1000 Maxigun muzzle flash for photosensitivity as Arrowhead notes known issues and likely follow-up fixes.
