Operation: HAMMER FIRE

The uploaded data along with intel gathered from various ground sources has allowed us to pinpoint the exact location of the enemy leader. Located within a mountainous region is a compound where the enemy leader resides. Our first attempt to take him down has failed.

Mission:
• Destroy the downed helicopter by planting C4 onto it
• Eliminate the HVT (High-Value Target)
• Exfiltrate



At long last, it's finally here! The Compound mission, titled "Hammer Fire", is loosely based on a real-life mission that took place in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2012.

Operators will have to make their way through a steep-inclined, treacherously large town and push towards the compound where the HVT resides. You'll find yourself transitioning from large, open space to claustrophobia-inducing, shoulder-to-shoulder walls.

Destroy the remains of the downed helicopter and carefully place your shot when taking down the HVT.

Hammer Fire boasts the highest enemy count between all previous missions and has the most intense fire-fights you'll experience in virtual reality.

LIGHT MACHINE GUNS

Give 'em hell with the new LMG class of weapons that include the FNMAG, Minimi, and PKM light machine guns. Utilize the bi-pod for increased accuracy or spray-and-pray as you lay down suppressive fire.

HARDCORE MODE

Test your reflexes against Enemy Ai that have increased vision, increased accuracy, faster first-shot reaction times, and use the SCAR-H. Utilize cover and communicate effectively with your team... or fail. Cry about it.
