Squad, the first-person tactical shooter developed by Offworld Industries, received a new patch that brought tons of exciting content. Players can engage with the new People’s Liberation Army (PLA) faction in the Red Star Rising Update.
The PLA faction includes mainland China’s land, sea, and air forces, so things are not going to be easy right from the get-go. However, there are new weapons added in this patch that can aid players in their advance.
For instance, players can pick apart enemies from afar using the new QBU88 Marksman Rifle. For those who want more firepower, the PF-98 Heavy Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher makes quick work of most of the enemy’s ground vehicles.
The Red Star Rising Update implements some gameplay changes as well. Attempting to bandage while sprinting, for example, will now cause the player to stop moving while they mend themselves.
