Your K9 isn't just another asset; it's a friend. From the moment it's introduced as a small puppy, you get to personalize your K9, name it, give it a good pat, and nurture it by ensuring it avoids unnecessary risks to stay safe. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/2b0cad4a85cfbb1614658afc6f9d915285d0211d.gif[/img] You'll be introduced to your K9 with a warm greeting before embarking on a long journey of companionship and loyalty. Your new furry partner starts as a small, adorable puppy that you'll get to name. Its fur, color, and patterns will be completely unique to you, ensuring that no one else has the exact same dog. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/749e65d543e687953d9a4180469f5ac9de71e72c.gif[/img] Initially, your puppy won't accompany you on missions. To help it grow and become a trained companion, you'll need to complete missions without its company. Once it's ready and you've become its designated "Handler," you'll have the privilege to issue commands to your K9 during missions, directing it to either stay close by your side or go on a hunting mission. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/24af776357d3f129fdb6a15be76a30617fcd0ea1.gif[/img] In Heel mode, your dog remains close behind, even during heated gunfights, while subtly alerting you to nearby suspects. Hunt mode prioritizes tasks: biting suspects, searching for bombs, rescuing hostages, protecting civilians, and identifying traps respectively. Your K9 is exclusively loyal to you and won't respond to other players' commands or distractions. If tragedy strikes and you die on a mission, your faithful companion will mourn and seek revenge. However, deploying with the K9 comes with sacrifices—you forfeit the ability to rappel or vault. [b]Revolver Smithwesson Model 57[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/34b1ea1b10701090c39893df9e24e807ea7b676a.jpg[/img] The Smith & Wesson Model 57 is a notable addition to Zero Hour as the game's first secondary revolver. This classic firearm is an iconic revolver renowned for its .41 Magnum caliber. Featuring a sleek design and powerful performance, it's a revolver that holds a special place in firearms history. The Model 57 boasts a sturdy construction and a distinctive design, combining both power and precision. With its distinct polished finish and ergonomic grip, this six-shot revolver provides excellent accuracy and handling. The .41 Magnum caliber delivers notable stopping power, making it a compelling choice for players seeking a reliable secondary weapon in the game. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/400fc6c101163f06e381f7659a20f55a503f749c.gif[/img] [b]Berreta M9[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/1ce8c8499f4a335fef7f9d3443691fdc1b47e26d.jpg[/img] The highly acclaimed Beretta M9 pistol is also making its way into the game, adding a touch of Italian craftsmanship and precision to your weaponry. Recognized for its reliability and widespread use by military and law enforcement agencies worldwide, the Beretta M9 embodies a perfect balance of accuracy, durability, and ease of use. With its 9mm caliber and impressive magazine capacity, the Beretta M9 promises a potent combination of power and accuracy, a valuable addition to any operator's arsenal in Zero Hour.

These aesthetics can be purchased using in-game currency, offering a range of options. Some aesthetics are available as exclusive DLC purchases, while others are offered free of charge. The aim is to maintain a realistic feel while integrating fictional weapon aesthetic brands, enhancing the premium quality of each firearm. Purchasing weapon aesthetics isn't limited to a single weapon; once collected, the skin becomes available for use across multiple weapons in your inventory. This feature allows players to customize various firearms, ensuring the firearms are aesthetically tailored to each individual's preferred aesthetics. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/a91c716191464a7e838111d48e795d5da00bbb81.jpg[/img] [b]New Utility: Drone[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/70f1ddc5de11a680dbe758a37c13a261b921f14a.gif[/img] To enhance strategic options, a new essential utility is being added to the attacking side: the drone. It is designed to gather valuable intel during missions. Originally, we planned two variations for the drone, including one equipped with a bomb. However, considering ethical concerns, we've decided to scrap the drone with the attached explosive. Instead, the remaining version will focus solely on surveillance capabilities, allowing uninterrupted monitoring until the battery runs out. You can also command the Squad AI while using the drone, allowing you the possibility to finish the mission without ever stepping in the operation building yourself. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/3cd792f6e309d31a310d2125ae81d471cdb660a6.gif[/img] [b]Character Customization[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38283674/74ec219ae8817fa7a2dfb3661e2023fbac6eb1c1.jpg[/img] Soon you’ll be able to personalize your operators and make them uniquely yours. Even though it's currently in development, the upcoming feature will give you the ability to customize your operator's appearance according to your preferences. This includes adjusting everything from headwear to tops and bottoms, allowing for a diverse range of clothing types and color templates.
