Hey Runners,
Its come time that we share more details about RUNNING WITH RIFLES: EDELWEISS!
Starting from the bottom - MAPS!
RWR:EDELWEISS will launch with 8 unique maps. Due to the nature of locations, the look and feel of the maps in EDELWEISS will vary wildly from one to the next. Take on the rocky cliffs of Sicily, the claustrophobic hedgerows of Normandy, the paved and cobblestoned streets of Arnhem and the snow-covered landscape of the Ardennes. Furthermore, EDELWEISS maps have been designed from the ground up to take advantage of destructible fences - tracked vehicles and high-explosives will be able to clear these previously insurmountable obstacles off the battlefield.
The Allied and Axis campaigns will also feature unique variations on gameplay. For example, some of the Allied campaign maps will feature a unique paratrooper game mode, where you start the game with no bases owned but you have the option to spawn in one of many different paradrop locations throughout the entire battle. Finally, both campaigns will end with their own unique boss map - be prepared for a tough fight against new foes!
With EDELWEISS also comes a wide variety of medium and heavy armor available to both sides. These vehicles are far more powerful on the battlefield than their vanilla counterparts, not only because many WW2 anti-tank weapons were weaker, but also because of a new AI target prioritization system. This system allows AI gunners to prioritize the the largest threat to them based on distance, angle to target, their weapon, and others (such as enemy tanks, anti-tank cannons, and soldiers wielding anti-tank weaponry). However, with this increase to their prowess on the battlefield, their use will be limited to their respective factions. No stealing Panzer IVs as paratroopers!
Regarding modding, many features have been added! Perhaps the most requested feature has been the ability to switch to an alternate weapon without switching to your secondary, and we have delivered with flying colors! With a new system weve dubbed "chain swapping", select weapons can alternate between any number of different variations, completely separate weapons in and of themselves. While PACIFIC and EDELWEISS will begin with only swapping between bayonet and non-bayonet version of weapons, this opens the door for much more interesting combinations for modders. Underbarrel grenade launchers and rocket launchers with multiple kinds of ammunition, perhaps?
A full, exhaustive list can be found in the patch note below.
Here is the first public gameplay video of EDELWEISS to shorten the waiting time! We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoy playing/testing the DLC! :)
