Publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer New World Interactive have announced that Insurgency: Sandstorm’s free Cold Blood Update is now live.<\/p>\n
The Cold Blood Update adds a new winter map, called Bab, set in a snowy village build around an ancient citadel.<\/p>\n
It features plenty of long sight lines and open spaces that make it ideal for snipers and adepts of long-range combat. There’s also ample opportunity for close-quarters battles as these areas are connected by tight alleyways that lead into indoor battles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Cold Blood Update also introduces two new battle rifles to Insurgency: Sandstorm. Security forces now have access to the M110 SASS while the Insurgents can now add a bit of World War II flair to their fight with the M1 Garand.<\/p>\n
Toggleable optics have also snuck their way in. Players can now switch between zoom levels when using both existing and new scopes added in the Cold Blood Update.<\/p>\n
New unlockable and purchasable cosmetics offer more style options for your characters, with the addition of a snow suit and leaf suit.<\/p>\n
The update also continues the developer’s effort of improving Insurgency: Sandstorm’s performance. <\/p>\n
Its focus on optimizing memory usage has led to a smoother experience on the Hideout, Farmhouse, Precinct, and Crossing maps.<\/p>\n
You can find all of the changes in the article covering the full patch notes and grab Insurgency: Sanstorm at half price on Steam until December 14.<\/p>\n
