Operation Rat’s Den Update for the tactical FPS game Zero Hour has arrived. This patch introduces a new map and puzzle-based objectives to help make co-op modes more enjoyable for everyone.

The latest map in Zero Hour is called the Rat’s Den. The mission here is to get inside a building on the outskirts of Sylhet. Word has it that this is actually the base of operations of Jubayer Kashem, the brother of Abdul Kashem, who was captured in a previous operation.
Apparently, Jubayer Kashem continues his family’s legacy by running their drug business. It also seems that he’s kidnapping the locals of Sylhet and bringing them to the base, subjecting them to forced labor.
The objective is to infiltrate the premises, bring Jubayer Kashem in, and learn the whereabouts of a hideout suspected somewhere in the area of operations (AO).
In addition to the new map, various puzzle-based objectives have been added in the Operation Rat’s Den Update. Players are required to find and solve codes, so they can enter some secret locations to complete the mission.
As of now, the puzzle-based objectives are only available on the new map. However, the developers said that puzzles for other maps will be added in future updates.
