Infected Update! - v40.0

An infection spreads, Enforcers suit up in hazmat getups, more custom game settings, a new Competitive season, and much more! Welcome to a new Breachers update!

Check the Discord or the changelog below to see the full list of changes, bug fixes, and improvements in detail.

New Game Mode: Infected!

In Infected a random enforcer gets chosen at the beginning of a match to be patient zero, transforming them into an infected zombie-like beast. The remaining enforcers fight to survive while the infected aim to infect everyone.

As an Enforcer, use your weapons to kill any infected in sight. As infected, transfer your sickness by striking down Enforcers, or use toxic gas grenades to choke them out.

This temporary game mode will be available until November 9th. We’re eager to hear what you guys think!

Enforcer Quarantine Skin DLC!

A new kind of purchase makes its debut with Breachers’ first ever character skin DLC pack! The Enforcer’s Quarantine skin dresses Enforcers up in a hazmat-inspired outfit in order to stay clear of any infections! Will you brave the quarantine zone?

Get the Enforcer Quarantine Character Skin DLC for $9.99, available now!

Hideout Halloween Makeover!

Fan-favorite map Hideout has received a Halloween makeover. Nighttime, darker lighting, pumpkins, coffins, and cauldrons. In short, everything you need to have a frightful breach.

More Custom Game Settings!

Every setting players need to make the Infected game mode their own (albeit not zombie themed) have been added to the Custom Game Settings. But we’re not stopping there, we also added options to help players set up Free-for-all matches, and more!

Get Ready for Competitive Season 10!

A new Competitive season is kicking off soon, and that calls for a new reward as well. The last Competitive skin to receive the Sovereign design will be the fan-favorite Marui. The skin itself isn’t finished yet, so it will be shown off at a later date.

Either way, for Competitive Season 11 next year, players will be able to vote again in Discord, and a new year, of course means a new skin design!

As always, let us know about what you think of this update in our Discord and be on the lookout for another epic update next month!

Cheers, and see you in the game!
