For a deep dive into the new content released, head on below.
Highguard’s Update for February 19 Adds New Content
New Base – Cloudreach
- This base has a large airship docked high above the ground, with the Anchor Stone in the cargo hold of the ship itself. The deck surrounding the airship overlooks the entire area, giving defenders an elevated position to snipe from, but allows quick repositioning to both generator rooms, where combat quickly turns close quarters.
- Small ventilation shafts located above the generator buildings allow defenders to throw grenades in to flush out attackers if a bomb is planted.
- The layout is strongly forward facing, with only 3 plant points – one on the front, right and left sides. If attackers feel rushed to plant at the front, they then have to fight across the entire base to get to the generators, which are located in the back buildings.
New Raid Tool – Lockpick
This powerful new Raid Tool quickly fires darts that open doors and windows, temporarily disabling them for the enemy and giving control to your team.
Swap to the Lockpick in your loadout menu at the start of a match, or find them randomly in red Weapon Chests.
Darts are a new ammo type that can be found in chests and supply barrels, or purchased from Trader Flynn.
The Lockpick has 1 Purple variant.
Warden’s Lockpick (Purple Version)
- A powerful version of the Lockpick that casts an energy field in the lockpicked door or window. For teammates, passing through it gives a short speed boost. For enemies, it delivers a small zap that damages, slows and highlights them for a very short time.
New Store Offerings!
Trader Flynn will now offer 7 items every week instead of 5. Some items will be repeats of previous weeks, allowing players to earn rewards they might have missed.
Moonbruin Mount
This new mount will be available for purchase in the store, and comes in 4 different versions in the same bundle!
Wayfinder Bundle Series
These 4 new bundles will be available for purchase in the store.

There are no gameplay-related changes in this title update, though we suspect that will change soon. Although with the dev team kind of gutted, we’re unsure whether we’ll see gameplay changes right away given the lack of manpower.
