[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34132566/b6db23b65b59590cc2bded37efd5e50ea8f49f3e.jpg[/img] The long-anticipated version 1.6 update is live, and it’s not just bug fixes! It is packed with features for improved player experience, replay value, and professional edition enhancements! Leading the pack are new environments and content. Players are no longer limited to the same network environment every time they play. They can now select from 3 different environments, with more on the way soon (including non-ICS related environments)!

Gather forensics evidence now in IR with a new action in addition and increase your threat intelligence score. Increase your threat intelligence score high enough and your adversary (the Red Team) will be apprehended for a Blue Team victory! Speaking of score, the old score has been replaced by a ton of much more useful metrics and stats at the end of the game.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34132566/4df2d63dd2d433219bcd9f11adb3dfd434e5e9ac.png[/img] The network connectivity simulation has been improved. Now, when devices that connect to other downstream devices, such as routers, switches, and firewalls, are in a denied/down state, connectivity to those downstream assets are also unavailable. Visually, the connection lines change from green to gray. This means the Red Team can’t scan them, can’t see them, and can’t use them as a pivot.

Here are some of what you can expect to see in this quarter’s updates from 1.6.1 through 1.7: [list] [*] Level (network environment) selection will be available in multiplayer internet matches [*] A much-improved network play lobby that will show logged in users, user chat, and more game setting details in the available matches [*] Scenarios and challenges (levels with specific starting points and/or goals or win conditions) [*] A more dynamic computer AI opponent with several different tendencies and varying skill levels [*] New mechanics that track company profit/loss and reputation during incidents [*] Ransomware-based scenarios and mechanics [*] Additional IR communication actions for the Blue Team [*] Additional and more detailed ICS attack actions for the Red Team [*] More content and networks/levels to play [*] Downloadable content (DLC)… more details coming soon [*] And, as usual, we are always trying to improve the quality and value of the simulation experience with new actions, mechanics, adjustments, and other enhancements [/list] [h2]Red vs. Blue Version 1.6 - Release notes[/h2] [h3]Bug Fixes[/h3] RVB1-287 BT IR music showing up during the game for the RT across a network game RVB1-285 The gather forensics action button does not activate when all metrics are met to do so RVB1-284 Game zooming in while scrolling when in the wiki RVB1-282 No change in music for between normal mode and IR mode for the BT.
