M7 Productions deployed a new and exciting patch for Zero Hour. The Operation Khan Manzil Update adds the titular map, as well as a new co-op experience that lets you play with more people than before.
New Map
Zero Hour’s latest update introduces the new Khan Manzil Map. After receiving a 911 call from a civilian who has allegedly spotted a person making a bomb on the boot of a car, you are tasked to find this vehicle so that the explosive can be defused before anyone gets hurt.
You might have to find some answers in a two-storied building filled with narrow corridors and rooms. With multiple entry points, you can use grenades to take the enemies out with ease.
New Co-op Experience
Things get a little bit more exciting in Zero Hour because the company has added new 10-player co-op missions to the game. Besides that, the co-op menu has received a slight overhaul to accommodate the new features like the ability to watch a mission cutscene.
New Utilities
Operation Khan Manzil also includes two new utilities that can be helpful if you are a member of the SWAT team. The Door Rammer, as the name implies, is something that you can use to breach through obstructions, such as locked doors and barricaded entries.
On the other hand, the Med-Kit contains a 12-inch syringe, a SWAT-T Tourniquet, and a pack of H&H Medical’s compressed gauze. The amount of HP it restores depends on which side you’re on (20 HP for the SWAT team; 10 HP for the Terrorist team).
