Meet the first major update of 2023! Enlisted now has a new class, the paratroopers! These elite fighters are trained to handle any infantry weapons, can jump from a transport aircraft to any point in the battle, and with them a supply box is dropped from which the squad can take the most powerful weapons! With the release of the update, the first soldiers of this class can be purchased in the store or obtained from the new Reinforcements received event. In the future, there will be new squads for different campaigns.
With the new Presets mechanic, you can save several different equipment options for your soldiers, and then in a couple of clicks switch between them, trying new tactics and not losing lovingly assembled familiar sets. You can even change up the squads of your army — and then just as easily go back to the previous options.
The game now has custom home screens. Tired of the mysterious fog? Replace it with one of the many player-created screens. These can be parts of locations represented in the game, or even places created from scratch by the players. And it’s easy to install! Check out sandbox.enlisted.net.
This update brings many other nice improvements to Enlisted. These include bug fixes, improvements to the replay mechanics, refined camera positioning on some weapons, engineers’ anti-aircraft guns unique to different countries, and much more.
