Inspired by Ministry, it features a police station caught in a violent takeover by Insurgent forces. WIP images below! MOD EDITOR IMPROVEMENTSInsurgency's origins are deeply rooted in modding. Starting as a mod for the Source engine, Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat led to a standalone sequel released in 2014 that we’re sure many of you are familiar with, called Insurgency, and then on to Insurgency: Sandstorm. It's important to remember our roots, and mod support is one way of fulfilling that for the team. We know the modding community has felt left behind in recent years, especially as the release on consoles led our focus to expand. We know the modding tools have been deteriorating.  This leads us to today. We have been working with many from the modding community over the last two updates to address issues flagged for us as important and

Hey everyone!We hope you’re enjoying the new update! The team has been working hard since the release of Operation: Shell Shock to identify key issues that are impacting player experience that require our attention. In addition to the fixes included in this hotfix, we’ve applied several backend improvements to matchmaking that should alleviate some of the issues that began in September, such as servers not properly repopulating (also known as “lobby decay”) and players getting stuck on “Preparing Server” indefinitely. We are also keeping a close eye on the IED, something’s up with that thing; that must be why they call it “improvised”, huh.Thank you for your continued support!PLAYLIST CHANGESStarting November 17, 2025, we are moving Ambush and Skirmish away from the permanent playlists to the time-limited playlist. As of now, these game modes are consistently the two least popular. Our goal here is to concentrate the player base within our core game modes to hopefully further alleviate issues with finding servers in less populated regions.RESOLVED ISSUEArt & GraphicsFixed an issue where toggling motion blur did not correctly apply the effect.Fixed an issue where uniform camoufl
