The team at Saber Interactive and New World Interactive just rolled out Patch 1.18 for Insurgency: Sandstorm, delivering a fresh batch of content that blends realism with high-intensity action.
Whether you’re into tactical firefights or just love the sound of an LMG ripping through cover, this update has something for everyone.
🔥 What’s New in Update 1.18?
🩸 First Blood Mode – LMG Madness Unleashed
Get ready for mayhem with the new limited-time mode, First Blood. In this adrenaline-fueled game type, you’ll enter fast-paced battles where only light machine guns are allowed as primary weapons. It’s all about raw firepower, sharp reflexes, and dodging walls of lead.
🗺️ New Map: Forest
This latest battleground drops players into the heart of a dense, overgrown military base, featuring the ruins of an abandoned airport, a run-down research station, and weathered military equipment scattered across the zone. Expect close-quarters engagements and long sightlines perfect for suppression.
💥 Two New LMGs Join the Fight
Two heavy hitters have been added to your arsenal:
- M250 LMG – A sleek, modern machine gun for Security forces, ideal for accurate suppressive fire.
- H21 – A rugged, multi-purpose LMG for Insurgent fighters, built for flexibility and brutality in open engagements.
🎨 Paid Cosmetic Packs + Massive Discount
Alongside the free update, the developers have dropped several new paid skin bundles, giving players fresh customization options. To sweeten the deal, Insurgency: Sandstorm is now available at a massive 67% discount for a limited time—perfect for new players looking to jump in or long-time fans ready to return.
This update keeps Insurgency: Sandstorm feeling sharp, grounded, and explosively fun—whether you’re a strategy-minded squad leader or someone who just loves mowing down enemies with an LMG.
