Two new Operation Neptune battlefields, spectacular destruction effects, improved animations and fresh weapons arrive in the WW2 online shooter
Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce Operation Neptune, a new major content update for Enlisted, the squad-based online shooter dedicated to the key battles of World War II. The update brings players to Normandy, expands the research trees with new weapons and vehicles, and significantly improves the look and feel of combat with reworked explosions, ricochets, tracers, animations and visual effects.
“Operation Neptune” Update Trailer
The centerpiece of Operation Neptune is the new Omaha location, inspired by the Allied landings on Omaha and Sword beaches. The new battlefield offers varied terrain, where trenches, pillboxes, artillery craters, barbed wire and coastal batteries create new tactical opportunities for both attackers and defenders. Battles will also move beyond the beach itself, taking players through battered urban districts, rural areas, farms, factories and warehouses, each demanding a different approach to movement, cover and squad tactics.
Operation Neptune also adds new research-tree equipment for several armies. The USSR receives the SU-122 self-propelled gun, built on the T-34 chassis and armed with a gun capable of threatening both infantry and armored targets. Germany adds the Nashorn tank destroyer, equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK43 cannon, as well as the Suomi KP/-31 (SJR), an improved version of the famous Finnish submachine gun with better accuracy and a 71-round magazine. Japan receives the Type 4 90 mm anti-tank launcher, while the United States adds the F7F-1 Tigercat, a fast twin-engine heavy fighter armed with 20 mm cannons, Browning machine guns and bombs.
The update also makes Enlisted’s battles more spectacular and readable. Tank destruction effects have been reworked, including improved ammunition rack fires and turrets that can be blown off by internal explosions. These turrets are not just cosmetic: they can crush soldiers unlucky enough to be standing beneath them. Flying debris now leaves smoke trails, fires can spread to nearby grass, and vehicle armor penetrations produce more visible sparks, smoke and flames, helping players better understand the result of their shots in the heat of battle.
Aircraft destruction has received similar attention. When planes are destroyed in the air, they now produce more powerful explosions, while torn-off parts scatter more naturally and leave fiery trails behind them. Small arms bullets can now ricochet off armored vehicles, and the update also improves muzzle flashes, dust from impacts, fire animations and other battlefield effects. Finally, tracers now have a more natural teardrop shape, with thin fading tails, brighter heads and thickness that better reflects the projectile’s caliber. This makes incoming and outgoing fire easier to read.
On PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One, visual presets have been updated to improve image quality while keeping the same FPS target. PlayStation 4 now uses high quality Temporal Hyper Resolution at 1080p, Xbox One switches to 720p upscaled to 1080p with high quality THR, and PlayStation 4 Pro now outputs a 4K image. On PC, ray tracing has received under-the-hood CPU optimizations with better multithreading and caching, improving performance on systems with a weaker CPU and a strong GPU.
