It wasn’t too long ago, but those early riots seem like a
walk in the park compared to life on the streets of San Paro nowadays. Take
but a few steps down the sidewalk and you can feel bullet shells roll
underneath the soles of your shoes. More shells collect around storm drains and
all along the curbsides. You’re moving too fast to even notice anymore. No time
to stop and smell the tear gas.
Block after block smoke rises and dims the sky. Be it from
fire, gas, napalm – who knows. No time to make out who that silhouette is at the
other end of a cloudy alleyway. Secure your helmet and strap that bulletproof
vest on tight.
Everyone is trying to represent Criminals or represent
Enforcers in their own unique way.
But in the end everyone is the same; everyone is raging on the inside
thinking about the loss of friends and family to the cause. No need to show off
those tattoos, scars, or war paint to let the world know which side you're on. Now is the time to cover every
last bit of exposed skin you have and make sure you survive.
--------------------------------------
Next week a whole new set of Combat Gear is coming to the
Armas Marketplace. Urban Warfare

Players can also have a chance to win these soon to be
released packs for free by participating in our “Heavy Metal Fighters” in-game event starting TODAY until Tuesday (Oct. 16th, 12 PM PDT):
Complete as many opposed missions
as possible from now until Tuesday at Noon. The top 500 players with the most opposed missions completed
will be entered into a random drawing to win. 10 Winners will get their choice of either new Urban Warfare
Pack (depending upon whether they want Enforcer or Criminal), and 10 Winners
will get their choice of either new Bonus Pack (Enforcer or Criminal). (For further details visit our APB Forums)
We’ll have more screen shots and images of the new Gear and
the ATAC later, but for now here are some concept art and screen images of the new
Vehicles and kits.
(Please note that players who have previously purchased the Performance Kits will be sent a free update for the new kits, shortly after we have updated the current Performance Kits on Armas.)
Stay tuned for more updates regarding the Armored and Impact
Urban Warfare Packs coming out next week and join us for the Heavy Metal
Fighters event.
Armor up San Paro.
Armor up.
do fc mission count and can we adquire the ATAC 424 somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteAlso: I just got to riffleman 16 and unlocked the ntec stock from contact rental... is there plans to enable this skin on armas ntec dvah?
And: will riffleman 16 unlock anything for the ATAC 424 ?
So is the black Jericho a criminal Jericho? does that mean Enforcers will get a Mikro maybe? :3
ReplyDeleteBoth are getting a Jericho if you read above or bothered to look at the pictures one is a criminal backdrop and the other an enforcers. and in the Pack information it says both are getting the V20 Jericho
DeleteI think you misunderstood my question.... I asked if Enforcers would get a mikro, not in this pack because clearly both get a Jericho... just seems like criminals once again, have the better choices.
Deleteseems to me crimals satill cant stun or cuff/mug cops.
Deletehow will you judge who wins because I keep seeing the same players wining my friend has 2 accounts and has got items from 3 of the events including car and backpack of the events since close beta and he plays 12 hours a week but he knows four of the devs. Where me and 12 other guys we play with have neva won jack crap from your compitions and we have played apb since pax in 2010 also we were all in milkshake original clan. SO question stands how to you pick these 10 players.
ReplyDeleteLol forcer steering wheel looks like the one of Xbox 360 only black :D
ReplyDeleteOpposed Fight Club missions do qualify for the event. Winners are selected by random drawing once they are within the top 500. As for future vehicle designs and future plans for the ATAC please stay tuned. We do not have any news for those at this exact time.
ReplyDeleteCould you add some outfit screenshots for enfo/crim male/female maybe? -.-'
ReplyDeleteHoi, Quinzel, quick question. The concept art for the Enf variant shows what looks like a new lightbar on top (and some interesting body / window lighting), but the screenie has a bog-standard Boomer Raptor. Please tell me that the Enforcers are at least getting improved top lightbars as part of this deal - like my ever beloved Citadel (Seriously, those replacement lightbars rock), since the crims are getting our entire damn car.

ReplyDeleteIs the weapon included in any of the packs permanent?
Excellent work by the way. Love the decision to make a variant for both factions instead of just one. VERY welcomed change when compared to the pioneer/espacio ordeal.
You accidentally labeled the criminal jericho as "enforcer performance vehicle" in the image 'crimvehicle1.png'. There is also a mistake in 'enfvehicle1.png' where it says "Wheel Crim" for the two wheel rims in the lower right. The color is also inconsistent. You should really let someone check that sorta stuff for you guys (I'd do it for free!). :p
If it's under $20.00 then I'm buying it.
ReplyDeleteDon't faction lock them... I want both
ReplyDeletesilly gamersfirst ,what way to make more money... well we could start selling the cop car to the crims .....
ReplyDeletewell idont mind that but unlock all the cars for all factions stop being to fucking lame.
not that i play enymore, and why is that its the samething over and over dosent matter if you win or lose sens there is no scoreboard,clanboard,leaderboard....
so whats the poiont .....spending money iguess
and ffs nerf that fucking nano if you already havent done it
"(Please note that players who have previously purchased the Performance Kits will be sent a free update for the new kits, shortly after we have updated the current Performance Kits on Armas.)"
ReplyDeleteSo what the players will actually receive? Only these kits or the 4 slot car aswell?
They mean the updated versions of the old kits. They aren't giving you the brand new kit for free nor a free 4-slot vehicle.
DeleteActually, as i understood, these new kits will replace the old ones, so..
DeleteHow much are these things <_<
ReplyDeleteWe have updated more images of the packs on our forums - check them out here - http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/297317-heavy-metal-fighters-weekend/page__pid__2879561#entry2879561
ReplyDeleteWhen s this car coming out?? i want it.
ReplyDeleteI WANT it!!!
ReplyDelete(/ﾟДﾟ)/
Oh look, Crims get another one of our good cars. With better looking kits again.
ReplyDeleteEnforcers getting the short end of the stick again?
As an Enforcer, I prefer the crim Jericho Parts - it's like Death Race crossed with Mad Max. Ours is some chunky Robot Wars Delorean lookalike.
Can't we just have both kits each?
That's fantastic. I mean it. Now if the hacking problem could be dealt with and the community grow up, I'd totally just right back in.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether you guys plan to release the new enforcer Jericho body kits on their own in ARMAS - there is a fair bit of popular demand for them.
ReplyDeleteAnd also it might be a good idea to have a look at the Emergency Lighting System (ELS) on the forums under Suggestions. I like that idea very much and I know we just got some new flash patterns and YAY! Im so happy :D But ELS would jsut let us have that much more - a ful lcontrol over flash patterns and sirens or at least some way of using more than 1 siren and pattern on a car.
