Calling all Operators,

As previously teased and discussed during our first community stream, and paving the way for the highly anticipated update 1.50 that will be released in September, we have a freshly out of the press update for you: introducing Black One Blood Brothers 1.49C.



Now, you'll be able to custom your operator's height. Your enemies' height will be randomized at spawn as well.

Are you ready to face new extreme challenges? Get ready for a mode that will push you to go big or go home. Failing critical objectives or losing all of your operators will lead you to lose the entire campaign, and you'll have to start over again.

You'll be able to completely customize your campaign. And bare with us, you'll soon learn more about the different options you have to create your own campaign.


We heard you! To make the battle map and quick orders easier to use, Helios has made an entire rework of these elements: more accessible, more intuitive, it has never been that simple to use them. For the quick orders panel, the camera is now the cursor to set up the waypoints/points of interest you would like to set, to minimize the impact of the strategic quick orders on your gameplay.

We really hope that you will enjoy these intermediate patch notes and rendez-vous early September for a ground breaking update. As usual, you are more than welcome to give us feedback on Discord and social media!

Attention, Operators, we have some news for you!

First things first, a huge thank you for our players and fans who made it to our very first stream. It was a bit chaotic, but we had a blast connecting with you live. If you missed it, fear not, there will be more in the future.

As said above, we have a good news and a less good news. Let's start with the less good news, so that we can move on very quickly: the next big update and milestone, Black One Blood Brothers 1.50, is delayed until early September.

But trust us, there are very good reasons for this delay. Because we heard you, and Helios is working really hard to bring to the game what you are looking for. And we are talking about...


Most of the feedback about Black One Blood Brothers fireguns was asking for more weapons, in particular more models from well-known manufacturers. For some legal reasons, it is not possible for us to use real models and real brands. However, we didn't want you to think that your voice didn't matter to us. So instead of a catalogue of weapons, we're bringing you the ultimate gunsmith feature.

Let's say you have a base of weapon - a rifle, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, and so on - and that you could plug 150 accessories on it, to create the weapon that will fit your gameplay. Sky is the limit.

But that's not all, with this brand new system, you'll enjoy some new breathtaking animations in the handling and reloading of your weapons, just like below:

We will have many things to show you in the near future about Black One Blood Brothers 1.50, as we want to make sure that this update will mark the history of the game and the early access.


But wait, there's more: because we know that between now and September, there's quite a gap, we are happy to bring you an intermediate patchnote, update 1.49C.

In this update, coming early June, you will enjoy some new features such as height customization and a revamped quick order / tacmap and loadout manager. Stay tuned for more informations about this update!

Until then, stay safe, Operators 🫡

Kane, out
