What’s New?
We are introducing a sophisticated bipod system that allows you to deploy weapons on various surfaces. This new feature enhances stability and accuracy, enabling players to use sandbags, trench walls, and narrow kill holes more effectively.
Dynamic Camera System Integration
Operation: Harsh Doorstop features a unique dynamic ADS camera system which, unlike many other shooters, lets you change your camera perspective while your weapon is shouldered. This flexibility is particularly useful in close-quarters combat, where maintaining accuracy and situational awareness is crucial.
Our dynamic camera system will be preserved when we introduce the bipod deployment system. When using a bipod, you can adjust your camera while mounted to any surface, giving you a strategic advantage in complex combat situations.
Environment Interaction
With the new bipod system, small environmental features such as kill holes and firing ports (which have traditionally been underutilized) can now be adequately used. Deploying your bipod inside of a kill hole (or firing port) will give you a full field of view, and allow you to pivot your weapon inside of the mounting point.
Weapon-Specific Mechanics
The bipod system caters to different weapon types with unique deployment capabilities:
- Pistols: Pistols will not benefit from the same deployment versatility as rifles or machine guns, but they will continue to serve their essential role in personal defense.
- Medium-Sized Weapons: Submachine guns and medium rifles can be deployed on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, such as doorways and windows. This versatility provides additional tactical options for medium to long-range engagements and close-quarters combat.
- Heavy Weapons: Heavy machine guns and sniper rifles are optimized for deployment on horizontal surfaces. These weapons excel in sustained fire and area control, making them ideal for securing large sections of the map.
Impact on Gameplay
The introduction of the bipod system, combined with our dynamic camera feature, will significantly enhance the tactical depth of Operation: Harsh Doorstop. Players will need to adapt their strategies based on weapon type and environmental context, leading to a more immersive and realistic combat experience.
We believe these updates will continue to improve gameplay, making each weapon type more specialized and effective in its intended role. Whether you’re using a lightweight submachine gun or a heavy machine gun, you’ll find new ways to leverage your equipment in diverse combat scenarios.
