Update 2.0 — Khe Sanh and US & Allies

Update 2.0 introduces the first post-launch battlefield, Khe Sanh. ANZAC joins the faction, which becomes US & Allies, with some equipment restrictions inside the combined Barracks. The announced weapons are the L1A1 SLR, F1 SMG and L16A1 mortar. The roadmap gives no exact release date for Update 2.0.

Update 3.0 — Rung Sat, APCs and four weapons

The second post-launch map is Rung Sat, described as swamps and jungles. Both sides receive Armoured Personnel Carriers. NVA additions are the MAT-49 SMG and SVD Dragunov; US & Allies additions are the Stoner 63 and a scoped M14. Navy SEALs and Green Berets also join the US & Allies force. No exact date is published.

Battalions and ongoing optimisation

Battalions V1 is planned as a persistent group system for clans and organized communities, with statistics, progression, unlocks and joining servers alongside members. Separate from content drops, the roadmap promises continuing work on performance, stability, image quality and quality-of-life across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series through Updates, Patches and Hotfixes.

How this tracker handles changes

This tracker distinguishes released versions from plans. Update 1.5 and Hotfix 1.5.1 have explicit release announcements; the cited Patch 1.6, Update 2.0 and Update 3.0 plans have no exact dates.
