In a world where strategy meets sheer audacity, players stand ready for a new challenge. Season 1 of Year 11, titled Operation Silent Hill, promises an electrifying journey rich in tactics and teamwork. This isn’t the time to idle; it’s about to get thrilling.
A headliner familiar to fans, Solid Snake from the Metal Gear universe, steps into the fray as a fully fleshed-out operator. Equipped with unique abilities and an arsenal that demands attention, there’s much to unpack here.
March Brings New Beginnings
Mark your calendar: Operation Silent Hill kicks off on March 3. This date has been confirmed by Ubisoft as part of the extensive Year 11 content roadmap. Players across PC and consoles will dive into the action simultaneously, synchronized by an update and server maintenance.
Solid Snake Joins the Fight
Remember when iconic characters transcended their stories? Solid Snake will debut in the Operation Silent Hunt battle pass, fully unlockable at the season’s inception. But Metal Gear’s influence doesn’t stop there—stay tuned.
At his disposal is the Soliton Radar MKIII, a game-changing gadget. Picture it as your tactical eye in the chaos, revealing floor plans and enemy positions. The radar colors highlight threats, making it an invaluable asset for both you and your squad. Mapping ahead has never been so strategic.
Alongside this, Snake wields a distinctive skill known as On-Site Procurement. This ability lets him carry up to five secondary gadgets, with options for scavenging to replenish what’s used. Your tactical repertoire just expanded significantly.
In the firearms department, Snake boasts two primary options: the formidable PMR90A2 marksman rifle and the F2 assault rifle, which benefits from notable buffs this season, allowing for grip attachments to enhance firepower.
A Fresh Take on Infiltration
Only during the new season will the REDACTED event unfold, pairing Solid Snake with Zero in an exciting 4v4 infiltration mode. Inspired by the Metal Gear Solid series, this gameplay will employ a revamped Nighthaven Labs setting, blending nostalgia with modernity.
Players can look forward to skins that echo the iconic Metal Gear aesthetic, adding layers of personal expression to your operator’s appearance.
Evolution Through Change
Operation Silent Hunt introduces significant changes across operators and maps. Notably, this will be the final season for the Dual Front 6v6 mode.
- Skopós accelerates to a 3-speed with quicker shell transitions; her shells now carry soft destruction akin to Aruni’s punch.
- Ela’s Grzmot mines will inflict longer concussive effects on victims.
- Amaru receives an extra charge for her Garra Hook.
- Alibi’s Prisma will ping more frequently, with the final notification lingering.
- Observation Blockers benefit from enhanced deployment speed.
- Flores gains access to the T-95 LSW LMG, diversifying strategies.
- Shield users will be unable to bash through full-health barricades—except for Blackbeard’s breaching ability.
As the gears turn towards March, will you seize the opportunity for glory or watch as others claim victory? The stage is set, and the stakes have never been higher.
