[p]
Hello Rebels,[/p][p]Today is a big day for us at
5-Fortress. Over the past 4 months, we’ve been working tirelessly to bring you a completely new experience in
Striden. An experience you can jump into whenever you want — alone or together with others.[/p][p]Try to survive in the harsh Scandinavian wilderness, where danger lurks around every corner.[/p]
🆕 New Game Mode — Survival
[p]You’ll need to make sure you have enough food and water to stay alive. Keep track of your nicotine needs, while also searching for the resources required to defend yourself.[/p][p]Build your own camp where you can feel safe — at least for a while. Store what you find, and make sure to secure a bed so you have a safe respawn point if the worst happens.[/p][p][/p]
💾 Persistent Progression
[p]Remember that your progress is tied to the server. This means that when you leave, your inventory and the base you’ve built will be saved.[/p]
🔄 Weekly Server Resets
[p]Each week, the server will reset — making it a fresh competition to see who the ultimate survivor is.[/p][p]We’ve also added an initial version of a
leaderboard, so you can keep track of who’s currently the top survivor.[/p]
🤖 PvE Gameplay
[p]Out in the world, dangers await that you must learn to overcome — including hostile soldiers, helicopters, armored vehicles, and guard dogs.[/p][p]The forests are also home to wild animals that can be deadly if you don’t treat them with respect.[/p]
⚔️ PvP Encounters
[p]You’re not always alone.[/p][p]At any moment, you might encounter another survivor. How you handle that situation is entirely up to you.[/p][p]We highly recommend using a microphone to communicate — it might just save your life.[/p]
🎯 Complete Missions
[p]In the rebel village, a few survivors have locked themselves inside their homes. They’re very interested in what you find out in the world — and they’re willing to pay well for it.[/p][p]Keep an eye on available missions. Sometimes, they offer rewards you won’t find anywhere else.[/p]
🗺️ Explore Striden’s Largest Open World Map — Fjäll
[p]We are proud to present our biggest map yet:
Fjäll.[/p][p]Set near the Finnish-Russian border, high up in northern Sweden, this rugged landscape offers a challenging wilderness with only sparse civilization.[/p][p]But there’s plenty to discover — hidden military bunker systems, camps, airfields, farms, industrial areas, and much more.[/p][p]This map will continue to evolve over time, with new areas being added as development progresses.[/p]
🌦️ Dynamic World
[p]The world of Fjäll features a dynamic weather system and a full day-and-night cycle.[/p][p]And yes… when night falls, it gets
dark.[/p]
⚠️ Temporary Mode Changes
[p]We will also be temporarily disabling
Transmit and
Kontrol during the weekend, as we want full focus on our new game mode.[/p][p]Don’t worry — both modes will return to the game after the weekend.[/p][p][/p][p]We will also be disabling matchmaking for now until we’ve got it working as intended.[/p][p]For the time being, you’ll need to use the
server browser to join games.[/p][p][/p]
🔧 Changes Affecting Other Game Modes
- [p]Sniper rifles and semi-automatic rifles now use projectile-based ballistics instead of hitscan.[/p]
- [p]Added new key bindings for certain functions.[/p]
- [p]Bugfixes and tweaks[/p]
[p][/p][p]We can’t wait to see you all jump into the new game mode. We see this as a fresh start — a new chapter to bring
Striden back to life.[/p][p]See you on the battlefield, Rebels![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
