October 2026 News

Welcome to the October 2026 news update for WARSURGE.

In the app department, there is a new update being worked on. War Factory will be available for use with the ‘Locked’ Roster mode, and the War Factory test rules will be updated as Beta rules onto the website. In addition, there are a number of new Perks and Perk adjustments going into the update.

Here are some of the new Perks with a brief description:

Uncertain Arrival: Deployment and several Deployment Perks will require a Mastery Test. The Ambush Perk is going to have the Mastery Test removed, but can add it back with this Perk.

Dominate / Hacker III: This new rank also allows Units to use Weapons while controlling their target.

Inconspicuous: The User cannot be Targeted unless the attacker is fairly close to them.

Fighting Accuracy 2+ to 6+: Same as the Accuracy Perks, but for Weapons with Range 6 or less.

Shooting Accuracy 2+ to 6+: Same as the Accuracy Perks, but for Weapons with Range 7 or more.

Accuracy Reroll: The Weapon can reroll misses from the Accuracy Perk, including the Fighting and Shooting variants.

Outmanoeuvre: The User can Deploy on an enemy player’s deployment zone board edge. Which one is randomly determined.

Detonate: Similar to the Arc Perks, but using HP. The more HP the Target has, the more attacks that can generate.

Coherency Bubble: In addition to normal coherency, each model can’t be too far from the furthest model.

Ignore Accuracy: The Weapon skips the Unit’s Accuracy Perks, including Fighting and Shooting Accuracy.

Emit: Similar to Nova, but hitting friend and foe measured with Range from the model instead of a template.

Disemboweler: The user can reroll failed attack dice against targets without Artificial. Not as effective on Cybernetic.

Bloodbath: The Weapon causes extra HP Loss against targets without Artificial. Not as effective on Cybernetic.

Fleshbane: The Weapon has a bonus dice modifier against targets without Artificial. Not as effective on Cybernetic.

Altitude: The User is high in the sky, not able to fight in a Melee, can’t claim objectives. It will count as destroyed for mission objectives in a number of circumstances.

Screen: A boost to AEGIS that only works against ranged attacks.

Damage Auto+: A new rank of 'set attack dice' rolls that don’t actually require a dice roll unless a dice modifier is in effect.

Engage Only: The Weapon can only be used when the wielder starts a Melee.

Ambuscade: The weapon can be used with the Stealth perk and does not end stealth.

Lock-On: The weapon can reroll attacks if the target is stationary.

Non-Lethal: The weapon cannot cause a unit to be a casualty, but can choose to restrict the amount of HP Loss it causes, making it easier to take advantage of Perks like Finisher or Plague.
