Hello Squaddies!
Welcome to Update 10.5!
This update introduces new content for Squad: Fireteam while also retiring the Founders Pack, along with a variety of bug fixes and improvements. We’re also introducing the Sliva Weapon Pack, bringing the iconic plum-coloured furniture to the AK family of weapons. Players can also make use of the new Field Rest Emote.
For our modding community, the Mod SDK has been updated to 10.5. As a result, all existing mods will require a recook before they become compatible with the latest version. If you encounter an infinite loading loop after updating, please unsubscribe from Workshop mods until their creators have updated and recooked them for 10.5 compatibility.
We would like to thank all Squaddies for their continued bug reports, feedback and support as we continue the development of Squad.

Added a new scripting architecture for handling Fireteam objectives, the Task System
Significantly reduces the difficulty of creating missions with multiple stages or many simultaneous objectives.
Makes Fireteam mission rulesets more modular and reduces duplication of blueprint across them.
Automatically handles updating players' objective UI when objectives change state.
Converted most commonly used blueprint chains in missions into modular Tasks accessible via the CoopTaskManager:
Revive/Respawn All Players
Squad Has Role/Kit
Enter/Leave Radius
Enter/Leave Volume
Cross Frontline
Eliminate Squad/Vehicle
Place Deployable
Destroy Deployables
Destroy Destructibles
Attack/Defend Capzone
Occupy Vehicles
Protect Vehicles
Added optional toggle to Fireteam mission rulesets to only display the objective UI to current squad leaders.
Depreciated several functions related to the old Fireteam mission workflow.
Missions using the old system are still supported and playable, however the "Current Objective" text on the minimap is no longer shown to players.
