Hello soldiers! 

Welcome to the release notes for Update 1.22 Operation: Echoes! This update includes visual overhauls for two classic maps, the long-awaited return of two iconic SMGs, and a fresh round of gear sets, weapon skins, and character customization options. 

In Operation: Echoes, we’re turning our attention to two of our older maps: Power Plant and Hideout. We’ve given these a visual pass; you can expect better visuals across the board, from more detailed interiors and exteriors to refined map geometry.

Two familiar heavy-hitters are stepping back onto the frontlines. With Operation: Echoes, we’re welcoming back the UM45 and the MP40 to your loadouts. Combining modern stopping power with timeless precision, these SMGs offer the mobility and reliable performance you need when clearing room to room.

A modern close-quarters powerhouse, the UM45 trades raw fire rate for heavy .45 ACP stopping power and rock-solid control.

A legendary piece of battlefield history, the MP40 delivers 9mm automatic fire with unyielding reliability.
