Update 1.4.2.0 Delivers Top Gun, Wake Island, and Custom Lobbies
Game Update 1.4.2.0 starts downloading August 18, 2026, 08:00 UTC, with the new content unlocking at 12:00 UTC the same day. The patch carries the Top Gun event, the rebuilt Wake Island, both two-seat fighter jets, and the Interdictor sniper rifle, alongside aerial-combat tuning, a round of crash and collision fixes, and Portal support for Custom Lobbies.
The full notes group the drop into event content, systems tuning, and Portal tooling:
Top Gun event brings the CJTF Helix squad unit, Event Challenges, themed cosmetics, and Ace Medals as its event currency
Wake Island joins the map rotation, Tsuru Reef gains playable aircraft carriers, and REDSEC's Fort Lyndon adds a USS Grant crashed-carrier point of interest
Two new modes — Top Gun: Carrier Strike, a rework of Carrier Assault, and the jets-only Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep
F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat arrive as two-seat jets, with the Interdictor sniper rifle unlocking through the Battle Pass
Aerial handling picks up a new Airplane Control Assist option, reworked landing-gear physics, and refined countermeasure interactions
Fixes include a client crash when backing out of the Settings menu, an unrevivable state after simultaneous fatal damage and drowning, several shoot-through-wall collision repairs, and the Weapon FOV Narrow setting not applying after respawn
Portal adds Custom Lobbies pilots for Conquest and Battle Royale Quads, Tsuru Reef SDK support, and Wake Island for Verified Experiences
