Welcome to the V1 Beta Test of the Bundeswehr Faction Mod for SQUAD! On this page, we are providing necessary information’s for you as player and server owner. First, enjoy our unofficial Teaser, made by the JANGO Team! Please mind our FAQ at the bottom of the page.
NOTE 24.12.2024: Page will evolve over the next hours
Update Specialties
Double Optics
The Bundeswehr is using double optics as standard on most of it’s weapons, including the G36 family and the G28E2 DMR rifle. You can now use these also with our faction!
Q: How can i switch between Red Dot and Scope?
A: Use X + Mousewheel
Vehicle Ability Upgrade
We invested a lot of time in bringing vehicle gameplay to the best standard possible with our abilities. Our wheeled vehicles received realistic settings for engines, gears, clutches, weight, armor values and weapons abilities. Tracked vehicles will be updated too, as soon as possible. We believe all changes we did, are working with vanilla factions as opponents. A special update is the Auto Zeroing feature of the Boxer IFV. Mind: We nerfed this feature by introducing a 2 second calculation timer. The Video below from a fan is demonstrating this feature on a range (a previous version without the calc delay).
Q: How can i use Auto Zeroing with the Boxer?
A: Laze target within the 2.000 m threshold, press x, wait for Range Lock Calc, fire and hit with the first shot. Hold X to reset Range Lock. It works with AP and HE auto cannon.
