FIA becomes playable faction is the main thing plus various changes to movement. Big focus is performance and fixing instability and crashing

Survival horror "civilian trying to escape a warzone" would be a cool parallel meta game in Conflict, tbh, if it were designed and done well. Maybe they're trying to get NPCs to a safe border crossing or something.

Content wise: the 5 player slot FIA Faction(3rd faction in Conflict) basiclly you spawn randomly like you would in DayZ(with similar equipment) and have to scavange resources.(Your job is to annoy everyone and prolong the game as much as possible because they dont have a win condition unless you annoy the other players sufficiently to force them to leave the match)
The biggest change gameplay wise is that momentum system that will make moving abit slower side to side+Shrubs slowing you down.
Aside from that Its mostly quality of life things like adding info in the map screen about current wind direction and strength.
And other bug fixes and preformence improvements(and an Increase to how many mods you can have on Xbox)

Better fix the insane stutters/freezes on xbox, we're closing on a year in since it became a huge problem n it's still not addressed

Yes, but they can only do so much with console hardware bottlenecks

No lol, the game worked fine beforehand and the ps5 doesn't suffer from the same issues, or a pc equivalent
This is just incompetent devs or management, shouldn't have been allowed to go on this long from a AAA studio.

Running around with a pistol. If you want quick action, FIA is not for you. You're constantly outgunned and outnumbered and it can be very frustrating. I played about 100-120 h in experimental as FIA

They are basically a faction to harm NATO and USSR, they dont have a win condition and cant capture bases, they are purely there as destabilization force for invaders

I am very pessimistic about the playable FIA being a positive addition to the game.

Is there any hope that every single mod won't break when the update is pushed?

Experimental was still buggy and had crashes on my Series X. Hoping the final release is better but I'm not feeling super optimistic. Playing as FIA is incredibly fun though. I also like the changes to movement but the changes to vehicle mechanics are ass.

Good, need something else. Certain Mob locations systemically play out the same way every time.
