Command the forces of the USSR in Headquarters: Cold War – Operation Pacify, the first DLC for Headquarters: Cold War on June 18th.

Set in Northern Germany near Hamburg, Operation Pacify places you at the center of a rapidly escalating conflict. Soviet intelligence has uncovered the existence of a secret NATO nuclear missile launch facility, and what begins as a suppression mission quickly evolves into a desperate race to locate, secure, and control a weapon capable of shifting the global balance of power.

One of the key additions is the introduction of Utility and Attack Helicopters. These aircraft can fly at low altitude, land to pick up or deploy infantry, and provide new offensive and reconnaissance capabilities. The update also expands the HQ skill trees, introduces new officer abilities, and adjusts overall game balance to better reflect Cold War–era military developments.

A new range of environments, 3D assets, unit models, and UI elements further distinguishes this entry from its World War II predecessor while maintaining the core structure of the Headquarters system.
