Hello Squaddies!
Howitzer back with a Fireteam Update! This time we’ll cover some modded mission adventures and what more to expect from Fireteam in Squad’s next update.
Modding
In December's update, we mentioned that modded missions had already started to turn up in the Steam Workshop. After our holiday break, we decided to pick a handful of modded missions to play through as a team. We had an absolute blast! It’s incredible to see some of the crazy things modders are doing with Fireteam. We want to make this a regular thing for us to do to see what the community is up to.\

We recommend these two by Harryhoot1. You’ll definitely need a full team of 5 to take these on.
Operation Boreal Guard

Operation Ashfall

This is a little playthrough summary we made of Boreal Guard. It was an action packed operation. Well paced and very hectic at points. Also just to point out this was just one playthrough. Subsequent playthroughs may very well play out differently depending on how the mission was made!
The whole thing took around 35 minutes. A great time! Go check it out!
Quality of Life Features
Scoreboard - Something that has been requested by the community has been adding a Scoreboard at the end of a mission. This has now been implemented in Fireteam! Check out the image below to see what that looks like.
Bug Fixes
We will be leaving the Experimental Missions in for the February update. However, In the March update we will be removing all the current Experimental Missions for review and reassignment. So play them while you can!
Upcoming Missions
We will be adding new missions to Fireteam. All Squad players will be able to play the Free Tier mission, and everyone who owns the Supporter Pack or the Founder Pack will be able to play the Paid Tier Mission (at no extra cost).
Fireteam Free Tier Mission \[+2 Missions]
Fireteam Paid Tier Mission \[+1 Mission]
Community Voted on Weapon Skin
The 'Makeshift' theme was the winner of the community weapon skin vote. We are currently developing a skin based on this theme and will show off the final design when it’s ready.
Thank you so much for playing Squad: Fireteam! See you in the next mission.

1 & 2 - We had to defend our position from an RGF push.
3 - We advanced forward in some vehicles we acquired and destroyed a mortar cache.
4 - We headed into the village from the north to support friendly troops that were there. We encountered pretty stiff resistance here! As several counter attacks took place.
5 - Heading out to the last objective, we took vehicles and B-Lined it to the objective through a lot of enemy resistance. Rather than dealing with them, we just drove through in our vehicles.
6 & 7 - After some light resistance we finally got to the objective! Mission over.
The whole thing took around 35 minutes. A great time! Go check it out!
