Warside 1.5 Update: Enhanced Gameplay Features
1.5 Update has landed in Warside, bringing fresh tactics and explosive balance changes for commanders on Steam Deck, Linux, and Windows PC. All thanks to the creative firepower of LAVABIRD, the battlefield keeps getting better. And you can find it all on Steam with the 73% Positive reviews. You ever load into a match of Warside and think, “Man, if this sniper was just a little cheaper, I’d already be carving up the map?” Well, buckle up, commander, since the brand-new 1.5 Update brings changes, and it’s throwing the old balance book out the window. Units are faster, cheaper, meaner, and there’s a whole lot more room to flex your tactical muscle. This patch isn’t some tiny tweak for Steam Deck and Linux. It’s a battlefield overhaul that wants you back in the mud with your infantry, planning risky pushes, and pulling off clutch plays like you’re in a high-stakes tournament.
Unit Overhauls That Change the Game
Medic & Sniper: Finally, the support team’s affordable. Get your heals and precision shots rolling early without bankrupting your war chest.
Blightguard: Think of these as your new frontline tanks with beefier defense, more mobility, and also cheaper to drop.
Boomtruck: You wanted chaos? You have it in the 1.5 update . Now with splash damage, this beast turns choke points into ash clouds.
Flametank: Better defenses, lower cost, hotter than ever. It’s a fire sale, literally.
Anti-Air: Faster to deploy, stronger at base. Enemy air raids? Denied.
Attack Heli: Damage tuned so it’s no longer the “I-win button,” but still deadly when used smartly.
Icefang: Piercing attacks now hit beyond the first target. Cheaper too. Precision and pain in one cold package.
Frigate: Guess who just got the tools to swat helicopters out of the sky? Naval warfare just levelled up.

Battle Powers With Real Stakes
Gone are the days of spamming your commander’s fancy toys. Every time you pop a Battle Power, the next one costs 10% more charge. So that means timing is everything in the 1.5 update. Hold it for the perfect counterstrike, or blow it early for immediate chaos, but know you’ll pay later.
Quality of Life Sweetness
Ranged units now give a little visual “nudge” when they fire. It’s subtle, but it makes combat easier to follow, especially when the map is lit up like a fireworks show.
