Hello Sandstorm community! Welcome to Operation: Accolade, the update where we are privileged to bring you content inspired by the fantastic submissions we received to our mapping and cosmetic community contests! We want to acknowledge the work everyone put in by bringing their ideas to life in Insurgency: Sandstorm!! KUDOS to you! You all really brought in the thunder!

Also, we are reminiscing on Sandstorm's 4th birthday we recently celebrated on stream. 4 years is a big achievement, and we feel lucky to still be going strong after all these years. Of course, we can't forget about Insurgency's 9 year anniversary that happened back in January, too! We were joined on stream by some of the OG devs at New World who gave us the inside scoop on what development was like in those days. Without further ado, get ready to dive in and read what we have in store for Operation: Accolade!



New Map: Last Light
Pack your bags and get ready for Last Light, the newest level to be added to Insurgency: Sandstorm! Based on the map of the same name created by Invalid_Nick for our Community Mapping Contest, Last Light takes you to a breathtaking coastal town where the action is relentless. The compact design is perfect for intense, close-to-medium-quarters combat, encouraging you to fight your way through lush interiors and out into streets awash in the glow of the golden hour. The luxurious architecture, fancy cars, and detailed, realistic interiors all add to the authenticity of this one-of-a-kind map, giving players an immersive and unforgettable experience. Join the fight and battle to control this stunning but deadly getaway town!



New DLC: The Accolade Set Bundle
To celebrate four years of Sandstorm, and the incredible support from the community, get moving with the Accolade Set Bundle. Featuring premium gear and battle-worn weapon skin sets, the bundle is packed full of community-driven content.
These new DLC sets will be available for purchase upon the release of Operation: Accolade and are included in the Year 2 pass for those of you who have it standalone, or via the Gold Edition. These cosmetic items can be combined with others in-game.


Our newest weapon skins, Worn Veteran and Rust & Wrap, are based on the winner of our community cosmetics contest! We hope you are just as excited as we are to see them in action!



Thanks for sticking with us until the end! We can't wait for you to dive into this update with us as a lot of hard work went into it from the whole team!

Join our livestream on Twitch, March 30th at 11am MST to get a first look at the new content and see Last Light in action! Can't make the livestream? That's okay! You can follow us on our other social media to stay up to date with all things Sandstorm.

Operation: Accolade is the final content drop for the Year 2 pass. It is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam & Epic Games Store).

It wipes all your settings out and few other bugs. Be warned.

There are ways to restore if you look on reddit, Google.

the retail version ain't that bad
tho depends whioch retail you mean

"Insurgency" that still runs on Valve Source, which gives amazing workshop support so gives alot of fun for people to use
or "Insurgency Sandstorm" that runs on the Unreal Engine

I like Sandstorm, tho i will agree that i had much more fun and time spent in Source Insurgency
