Rain

A new weather preset. It changes what you hear, how far you see, and how long fire burns.

// 6 effects

What rain changes

  1. Surfaces, vehicles and characters visibly wet as rain falls.
  2. Rain sounds different depending on what it is falling on and where you are standing - under cover, indoors, inside a vehicle, or out in the open.
  3. Destroy a roof and the rain starts visually coming through it.
  4. Thunder rolls in during heavier rain, and every player on the server hears the same strike at the same moment from the same direction. It is loud enough to mask footsteps, so use it strategically.
  5. Spotting range is affected by rain.
  6. Molotov fire is reduced by rain.

// Playstyle

If you play the sneaky flank

Rain is your new best friend.

What changes

  • Thunder is loud enough to mask footsteps, and everyone hears it at the same moment.
  • Rain reduces spotting range.
  • Rain sounds different under cover, indoors and inside vehicles.
  • Molotovs can burn destructible foliage, which strips away cover.

Still the same, or still broken

  • Rain is a weather preset on the same map, not a new one.
