New World Interactive deployed Update 1.14, aka Operation: Accolade, for Insurgency Sandstorm not long ago. This patch is quite special because it features new stuff based on content made by the community.
New Map
One of the new things added to Insurgency: Sandstorm is a new map called Last Light, based on the map created by Invalid_Nick.
Last Light is a relatively compact map set in a breathtaking coastal town. This is perfect for close-to-medium-quarters combat where players can head to the streets or enter one of the luxurious buildings located here to engage in a firefight.
Community-Made Weapon Skins
Players who want their weapons to look cool may look into purchasing the Worn Veteran and the Rust & Wrap weapon skins for the Security and Insurgents factions, respectively. What’s special about these skins is that they’re actually made by the Insurgency: Sandstorm community.
The Worn Veteran weapon skins can be applied to the following:
- M16A4
- MK 18 CQBR
- MK 14 EBR
- M24
- MDR
- M249
On the other hand, the Rust & Wrap weapon skins contain cosmetics for these firearms:
- SVD
- Mosin-Nagant
- AKS-74U
- AKM
- PKM
- SG 552
MKDTRSA STBASDF made both of the above-mentioned weapon skins. These are included in the Year 2 Pass or Gold Editions of the game. Players can also purchase them separately for $2.99 per set.
