It's no early April Fools, you really can play Insurgency: Sandstorm for free from March 26 through April 1. That's about a whole week of gaming you will get to have without spending a penny. However, if you do like the game, you will be able to spend fewer than the normal number of required pennies thanks to a 50% discount that is also live through April 1.
This free week comes to you courtesy of New World Interactive and Focus Home Interactive. You will get to play all aspects of the tactical FPS, including the newly added free content that dropped in the 1.6 update just one week ago. this update added, among other things, public mod tools, a new map, two new weapons, and more. Additional details on the 1.6 update can be found below or through the Insurgency: Sandstorm website.
The modding scene has always been central to the Insurgency franchise, and now Insurgency: Sandstorm features mod tools with full mod.io integration to help creators even further. The initial release of mod support allows for the creation of levels, game modes, and mutators, with more capabilities on the way.
Update 1.6 also introduced a free new map, Power Plant, with plenty of tight corners and passages, so you’ll always want a teammate watching your back. Domination mode is now available on five more maps: Refinery, Outskirts, Precinct, Summit, and the new Power Plant. There are new weapons to grab for the Advisor class on both sides of the conflict: the Tavor 7 for Security and ACE 52 for Insurgents. In addition, the update added new cosmetics, stability fixes, balance changes, and more as the team continues support for the game toward its upcoming launch on consoles and beyond.
