Darkflow Software ran a test server for Enlisted's upcoming "Off-road Patrol" update from September 11 to September 14, giving players an early look at eight new vehicles arriving across all four campaigns, according to the studio's announcement of the update's weapons and vehicles. The update introduces a distinct off-road vehicle category, alongside new weapons, melee animation overhauls, and balance adjustments aimed at light reconnaissance play. An official release date for the live servers has not yet been announced. Players new to the game's squad system can start with our Enlisted beginner's guide.
What the Enlisted Off-road Patrol Update Adds
The headline addition is the off-road vehicle slot itself, which shares squad limits with motorcycles and lets these light vehicles carry grenade boxes into battle. The eight new vehicles are split two per nation: the USSR receives the GAZ-64 with a DS-39 machine gun and a premium P-39Q-15, Germany gets the Kubelwagen 82 and a twin-mounted Kubelwagen 82 Zwillingssockel variant, Japan adds the Type 95 Kurogane alongside the G4M1, and the USA gets the Willys M1919A4 and a premium Willys Bazooka. Off-road and motorcycle squads will get a 50% experience bonus and cost 50% fewer reinforcement tickets to spawn.
New Weapons and Recoil Changes
Weapon additions are lighter this cycle: the Lewis Gun Home Guard arrives as a researchable BR IV option for the USA, while Japan gets the IJN 80mm AT as a premium BR II weapon. Darkflow also used the update to cut recoil on several automatic rifles from 75% to 60%, and adjusted the FN Model 1930's rate of fire and recoil profile.
Melee Animations and Quality-of-Life Fixes
Beyond vehicles and guns, the update carries a broader animation pass. Bayonet charge attacks, general melee strikes, knife mechanics, and sniper rifle handling animations have all been reworked, and new buttstock and fist-attack animations join them. Camera shake while climbing ladders has also been toned down.
What Darkflow Has Not Confirmed
Darkflow has not confirmed whether "Off-road Patrol" will ship before or after further testing rounds, and has not published a live-server date or the full patch notes. Separately, Enlisted's operators flagged an issue between September 19 and 21 where some completed battles failed to register, denying rewards to affected players; the studio says the issue is resolved and missing battle results were restored.
