STRAFTAT, the winner of our Greatest FPS of 2024 award, has simply come out with a beefy free replace that consists of 30 new maps (plus three extra for DLC-owning gamers), 9 new weapons, new options and QoL tweaks, in addition to a lone new swimsuit for the sector shooter’s delightfully ugly little potato males.
Whereas I am caught on weekend information responsibility, PC Gamer’s FPS-likers have been having a homosexual previous time with the brand new goodies, fragging out prefer it’s a 2002 LAN occasion amid the terminal decline of 2025. Among the many new weapons, the katana feels so proper it is stunning there wasn’t one within the preliminary launch of the sport. I will be curious to see how the AP mine adjustments up STRAFTAT’s slapstick mines-only maps, whereas the failed ’80s/’90s experimental “future weapons” represented by the H&Ok CAWS and G11 had been virtually made for video games like STRAFTAT—they actually did not get a lot play with the Bundeswehr.
As for the maps, “ReeperBahn,” “Patio,” and “Highwall” all have the names that the majority pique my FPS sicko curiosity, however I am going to have to order judgement till I’ve time to examine them out myself. I used to be additionally tickled by the addition of a lone new beauty swimsuit—often you count on FPS updates to be all cosmetics and perhaps a map or two when you’re fortunate.
However STRAFTAT is a distinct type of FPS, a free 1v1 area shooter with a $5 DLC that doubles the scale of the sport. Fraternal developer duo The Lemaitre Bros advised us they simply made the 1v1 FPS they had been dying to play, and I am extraordinarily grateful they did. You possibly can try STRAFTAT for your self at no cost on Steam with no strings hooked up, however you may most likely be again for the DLC similar to we had been.
