The front lines of the war are dynamic and shifting rapidly. We need fast vessels to respond to emergencies and intercept hostile stragglers, with enough firepower to take them down, before they can group up into larger forces. With this need, we are authorizing the deployment of interceptor corvettes.

The Avdiivka provides similar speed with greater firepower than our light corvettes. A large range of turret mounts ensures the Avdiivka can be outfitted to respond to a range of incidents that require fast deployment. Excelling at adaptability, and quick strike capability to weaken or destroy hostile forces separated from main groups across the front lines.

The Drums of War update (Early Access version 0.12.3) for A-Spec First Assault brings huge enhancements to sound effects, removing harsh sounds and improving the quality of frequently played sound effects like gunshots and explosions.

AI behavior has been improved and they will now change their targets based on the biggest threat to them along with improvements to how they decide who to target next.

Help glyphs used in the tutorials and prologue missions for controller commands that don’t have a defined icon (there are so many types of flight devices out there) will now display the relevant control element name instead.

Check out this latest trailer showing off the gameplay you will experience in A-Spec First Assault prologue missions.
