Operators

NEW: Mateo Hernandez (Harpy)
Mateo was born into a large immigrant family in Texas, dreaming of becoming a civil engineer. He joined the Navy during World War II, fighting as a tail gunner in the Pacific. After witnessing growing prejudice and racism against his people following the war, Meteo threw himself into campaigning for his people, speaking out against these injustices as well as helping reunite families across the Mexican border.

NEW: Florence Carter (Harpy)
Born and raised in Alabama, Florence dreamed of representing her country as a fighter pilot since she was a little girl. During WWII, she was determined to make those dreams come true, but was turned away from those opportunities due to both her gender and her race. After the war, the SOTF recognized her talent and passion for being in the sky and Florence has flown as a rescue helicopter pilot for them ever since.

Field Upgrades
NEW: Trophy System
Deployable autonomous defense system that destroys up to three nearby pieces of equipment and projectiles.
Available to all players upon logging in for the first time during Season Three.

More on Trophy System
When we released Vanguard last year, our initial tuning on Lethal Equipment deemphasized their lethality in combat, focusing our combat on gun skill. With new explosive equipment added in Seasonal updates and clear player feedback indicating its appeal, it became apparent that the Trophy System should make its debut.

Upon deployment, the Trophy System will protect its immediate radius from the following incoming and pre-established items for a limited time. Notably, the Throwing Knife is an exception to these defenses due to the high-risk, high-reward nature of this Lethal Equipment.

Incendiary Grenade
Sticky Bomb
MK2 Frag Grenade
Gammon Bomb
Thermite
Demolition Charge
Molotov Cocktail
No. 69 Stun Grenade
MK V Gas
S-Mine 44
Decoy Grenade
Ammo Box
Trophy System
Jammer
Field Mic
