Custom Games

## Summary

Players can play on any side of any campaign on any map against any other side in this special mode. Custom Games is also the housing space for some maps that are not in the base game's main rotation and is also the location to the Lone Fighters mode. Both hardcore and normal versions for Lone Fighters exists in this mode.

## Lone Fighters

This was a main game mode for Enlisted in early 2021, but later throughout the year, as it also received a Hardcore version option for it, Lone Fighters was replaced into Custom Games as reception of the game mode became lower throughout its life cycle in late 2021.

Lone Fighters at its core is a Squads game mode that a player can only use one soldier in a single class at a time. If a player spawns in a vehicle however, every soldier for that vehicle will be available to be used at once. There is no player controlled AI in Lone Fighters besides from Tanker soldiers, and as a result to this, only one life for that soldier happens until a long cooldown timer ends to reuse them again.

Hardcore Lone Fighters follows this same principle but with the removal of most HUD elements for the player. Certain capture zones on every map will be highlighted in the game via a smoke screen so players will not get lost. Friendly fire to your team will also be activated and a player loses points for damaging or killing a team mate. If a player is team killed, they can report the other player or forgive their transgressions.

## In Game Events

Enlisted has done a few in-game events that were either ways to unlock new soldiers, weapons, or vehicles, and the chance to try some new things out.

### Victory Day

Victory Day was an in game event that opened the Closed (at the time) Battle of Berlin Beta for everyone to play on from May 7th, 2021 to May 11th, 2021. After the four day for public access, the campaign went back into Closed Beta for the founder's who invested into the campaign itself.

### D-Day

D-Day was an in game event that lasted from June 4th, 2021 to June 7th, 2021 as players completed a series of challenges to unlock some benefits. Jasper Monteth, an Engineer I Rank IV soldier, was able to be obtained from 60 flamethrower kills. A player could have also earned a silver weapon order for fighting in one battle and also a silver troop order for winning three battles. If a player managed to be the first on their team from seven total games, a Gold Weapon Order was also given as a reward.

During this time, the Invasion of Normandy Machine Gun Bundle became 50% off.

### Battle Summer

Battle Summer was an in game event that lasted from July 9th, 2021 to July 21st, 2021 as players completed a series of challenges to unlock some benefits. This event changed the way a player could progress in that more timed tasks were needed to be accomplished in order to unlock everything that was to offer. These tasks renewed every two days and were on average three tasks to complete. If a player failed to complete a task within 48 hours, the remaining tasks would be deleted and credit to the number of tasks would not count.

A player only needed to complete eight tasks out of the fourteen available to unlock everything.

If a player completed four tasks, they were given the Focke-Wulf Fw 189 light recon aircraft for the Battle of Moscow. For five completed tasks, they were given a choice of earning one collectable Cold Steel Sword weapons for either the Invasion of Normandy, Battle of Moscow, or Battle of Berlin. Earning seven tasks granted a player the M5A1 "Rhino" tank for the Invasion of Normandy.

The final task of earning eight points left the player with the PPK-42 Assaulter squad for the Battle of Berlin. These were four unique soldiers all using the same weapon in a unique squad; which did not get the premium benefits added.

### Fiery November

Fiery November was an in game event that lasted from October 29th, 2021 to November 15th, 2021 as players completed yet another series of challenges to unlock some benefits. After reviewing over the statistics from Battle Summer, Darkflow expanded on the format to help promote their newly released (at the time) Battle of Tunisia campaign.

These tasks renewed every three days instead of two and were more flexible on accomplishing them than the previous event. If a player failed to complete a task in 72 hours, the remaining tasks would be deleted and credit to the number of tasks would not count.

A player only needed to complete thirteen tasks out of the twenty-one available to unlock everything.

If a player completed four tasks, they were given another Cold Steel Sword of their choosing. For six completed tasks, they were given a soldier named Marsala Fasetti, an Assaulter II Rank soldier for the Axis side in the Battle of Tunisia campaign. Earning eight tasks gave the player an Allies plane called the P-47D-22 "Razorback" for the Invasion of Normandy campaign. Nine completed tasks rewarded yet another Cold Steel Sword for the players choosing. With eleven total tasks, a player earned the Jagdpanzer IV (75 cm Pak 39 L/48), a low-profile tank for the Axis in the Battle of Berlin campaign.

The final task required thirteen completed tasks which gave the player an Allies Gunner II squad of four soldiers all carrying the Charlton Automatic Rifle for the Battle of Tunisia.

### Modern Conflict

Modern Conflict was a special game mode that released on November 18th, 2021 that took place on the Battle of Tunisia using advanced weaponry and vehicles from NATO and Russia. This game mode had preset squads that could not be altered which consisted of a Riflemen, Assaulter, Sniper, and Tanker squad. The reception to Modern Conflict was received well and as a result had an extension until November 25th, 2021 for players.

Modern Conflict did not get archived into Custom Games as of how Lone Fighters became to be in the end.

### Bayonet

Bayonet was a small event from December 15th, 2021 to December 22, 2021 in where players could earn bayonets for their rifles in only the Invasion of Normandy and Battle of Moscow campaigns. In order to obtain these bayonets, a player had to achieve many victories on both sides of each of the specified campaigns. When this event released, some weapons that would be purchased will always come attached with a bayonet.

### Steel Fortress

Steel Fortress was a Battle of Berlin exclusive event that lasted from December 24th, 2021 to January 3rd, 2021 in where any player level three and above could participate in a leaderboard to earn exclusive medals, portraits, and nickname decorations. The more effective a player was in battle, the higher the percentage rate a player would appear on the leaderboard. Special bonuses were given to the top ten players of the event, as well as other bonuses for anyone else who did not make top ten.

"**Berlin\_Axis\_2op**" was the winner of the first ever Enlisted leaderboard competition titled Steel Fortress.

### Engineer's Day

Engineer's Day was a brief event that lasted from March 4th, 2022 to March 7th, 2022 in where players had to three short challenges in a one day time frame throughout each of the days. For three tasks a player earned a 30% experience booster as the fifth and sixth tasks earned two silver weapon orders and two silver troop orders.

The eight task completed rewarded the player with a Roped Hammer that has no other benefits than simply looking fancy. Both sides to every campaign received only one unique hammer each.

### The Flames of Stalingrad

The Flames of Stalingrad was a brief event which was from March 30th, 2022 to April 8th, 2022 in which players completed challenges for a total of 44 soldier appearance orders. The original time frame was much shorter but was extended due to console players having issues on Stalingrad's launch.

### Unknown War

Unknown War was Enlisted's first ever April Fools joke update which had two sides fight on a German base on the moon. This event had no rewards other than the amusement of being in low gravity and shooting uniquely made weapons that would make any Star Wars fan blush.
