Each character now has Speed and Toughness values plus exclusive enhanced Perks.
Today Rogue Company introduces the ‘Covert Ops’ Update, named after the new Battle Pass full of tactical gear and including four Rogue Outfits. Gameplay-wise, players get to experience their favorite characters with a fresh twist, as new core mechanics make all Rogues more distinct.
In Rogue Company, each Rogue has a clear-cut personality, looks that stand out, and feels just as real as action-movie blockbuster heroes. From today on, Rogue gameplay identity will be on par with their elaborate character identity.
Speed & Toughness
Rogues now have both a Speed value and a Toughness one. This new feature widens the existing gap between the nimble-but-fragile Rogues and the sturdy-but-slow ones.
Both values can range between five levels, providing between -5% and +15% movement speed and damage reduction respectively. As a parkour champion, Lancer obviously has 5 Speed – but only 1 Toughness. On the other side of the spectrum, barricade-wielding Anvil has 1 Speed and 5 Toughness.
This new system strengthens Rogue identity while adding another layer of depth to their kits, and another factor to weigh when players pick their character.
Perks Enhanced
In addition to the Speed-Toughness feature, new efficiency levels for Perks have been introduced today, reaffirming even further each Rogue’s gameplay individuality and allowing players to make more meaningful decisions.
Until today, in Rogue Company each character had their own selection of Perks to choose from in the in-game shop, but each Perk was always the same. Now they are either Rare, Epic, or Legendary, with a corresponding increase in efficiency. Prices rise too, so players have to earn those shiny improved Perks by standing out in the field. As each Legendary Perk is only available to a couple of Rogues, characters feel even more specialized – and more lethal too as a result.
Entirely new Perks have also been added, such as ‘Volatile’ for increased damage over time, and ‘Energized’ for players who would want to boost their ability recharge rate. So many new interactions and combinations are waiting to be discovered with Perks Enhanced.
Battle Pass: Covert Ops
Rogue Company has gone full MIL-SPEC tactical with the Covert Ops Battle Pass, its most realistic theme yet. Four Rogue Outfits and dozens of rewards spread across 50 levels and can be earned just by playing.
The Reaper Outfit for Saint is an instant reward when players purchase the Battle Pass, while Ronin as Shadow Spectre, the ultimate operative, can be unlocked through progression.
Fans of the Conviction LMG will get to gear up with the Major Danger Mythic Wrap, while the Blood Work Animated Hoverboard will ensure players make a sanguine entrance on the battleground.
