Underwater Combat Comes To PlanetSide 2 In Tomorrow’s Surf And Store Update
Naval combat will soon be coming to PlanetSide 2 in the sci-fi MMO shooter’s Surf and Store update. The update will introduce the game’s first-ever naval craft – the Corsair. The new waterborne craft will only be available on Oshur and will have space for one driver, two gunners, and five engers that can quickly be inserted into the middle of the battlefield using its onboard catapult system.
The update will also bring with it underwater combat mechanics along with Seaposts with underwater capture points. Most of the existing infantry and MAX anti-infantry weapons will also become usable underwater when the update rolls out.
Another highlight of the Surf and Store update is the return of Outfit Wars in a new 1v1 format. Outfits, even those from the same faction, will once again be able to battle each other in a tournament-style competition for various rewards, bragging rights, and the title of Auraxis’ best Outfit. A new snow-covered map will also be available with nine snow-capped bases for Outfits to fight over. The Enlistment Phase begins on August 3rd.
“Hold the most territory, or cut off a faction's Warpgate to dominate the victory. Each match has a limited pool of ‘bracket points’ teams can earn by holding territory, which break win/loss record ties, and help determine who will fight who.”
Surf and Store arrives tomorrow, July 13th on PC.
