About
Insurgency: Sandstorm is a team-based, tactical first-person shooter based on lethal close quarters combat and objective-oriented multiplayer gameplay. Sequel to the indie breakout first-person shooter Insurgency, Sandstorm is reborn, improved, expanded, and bigger in every way. Experience the intensity of modern combat where skill is rewarded, and teamwork wins the fight. Prepare for a hardcore depiction of combat with deadly ballistics, light attack vehicles, destructive artillery, and HDR audio putting the fear back into the genre.
An Intense Atmosphere Putting the Terror into Modern Combat
Move with speed and caution as you push through the war-torn environments of a fictional contemporary conflict in the Middle East. Death comes fast, ammunition must be carefully managed, and the environment must be tactically navigated at every step toward victory.
Insurgency: Refined and Expanded
For the first time in an Insurgency game, customize your character to show your veterancy with diverse sets of clothing, uniforms, accessories, and character voices. Coordinate fire support with your team, engage enemies with vehicle mounted machine guns, and go head to head in small scale high speed player-versus-player and co-op matches. Wield new weapons and new upgrades to outmaneuver, outflank, and outsmart the enemy.
War at its Realest
Continuing Insurgency’s acclaim as the most atmospheric shooter, Sandstorm is built on Unreal Engine 4 to bring its gritty close-quarters combat into a whole new era of realism. Skill is rewarded, and survival is paramount. Feel every bullet, and fear every impact.
