About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already playing Warfighter and feel like you need that extra arsenal to dominate the battlefield, Speedball is the upgrade you've been waiting for. This isn't just any expansion; it arrives to breathe new life into the combat, bringing back the most coveted options from the first wave and injecting a massive dose of variety with new items. Know that weapon or piece of equipment you always wanted to have available, but luck wasn't on your side? Well, Speedball brings additional copies of these popular items to ensure your strategy isn't limited. But it doesn't stop there! The package is generous, bringing a swarm of new cards to keep the frantic pace of the games going. It features 56 cards in total, a true arsenal including 24 new weapons and 9 equipment pieces to customize your squad. Additionally, you get 10 new skills to upgrade your soldiers, 2 player soldiers, 2 non-player soldiers, and even 2 squad soldiers. To keep the tactical chaos in check, the expansion also delivers 2 new missions, 2 new objectives, and 3 Sitrep cards. It's the kind of essential content for those who want to diversify combat scenarios without completely changing the playstyle, simply making it richer and more unpredictable. If you are looking for more tactical depth and want to prevent games from becoming repetitive, Speedball is the perfect complement to keep your squad always ready for intense combat.
