Combat Arms Complete Update Notes -- Belly of the Beast

**ProGamerX** · 01-19-2012

Attention, Soldiers,

This is it. This is the break we’ve been waiting for. January’s game update is sending you into battle against our most dangerous enemy, the Nemexis corporation. Check out the “Belly of the Beast” to see what’s in store for you. Naturally we wouldn’t send you into battle without the best firepower we could find. That’s why we’ve approved a new NX weapon, a new GP weapon and a

number
of deadly little goodies available in Bubba Ares’ Gun Emporium. If that’s not enough, you can always get yourself a MYST-Kilo and see if you can nab a new Epic Assault Rifle. There’s all kinds of awesome things to shoot and shoot at in the Belly of the Beast update!

See what’s happening:

New Fireteam Map: Nemexis HQ

The battle for victory sends you into battle against many foes, but no one has dogged our footsteps more than the vicious Nemexis Corporation.

New Abilities

Taking on Nemexis is no easy feat. You’re going to need that extra edge, and R&D has come through with some powerful abilities to aid you in the fight! Only catch is, these abilities are too powerful to be stored in one Ability Slot, and you’re not getting these for

free
, either. These Abilities can only be received by completing Daily Jobs, so get a move on!

Spoils of War:
Nothing wrong with a little plunder! Take any weapon that some foolhardy soldier has dropped and turn it into some quick GP. Be careful, though, you’re going to be a sitting duck when this is going on

Permanent only available for a limited time!

New GP Weapon

Tango 51

The Tango 51 is a new tactical firing rifle designed from the ground up to emphasize bullet alignment and precision engineering. That means that it’s an incredibly accurate firearm suitable for any sniper’s needs.

Bubba Ares’ Gun Emporium Updates

Bubba Ares obviously never sleeps because there are all sorts of deadly goodies coming out of the Gun Emporium this month.

New Forge Weapons

STG-44

The STG-44 is considered the first modern assault rifle and was first deployed in Germany in 1944. It filled in a defensive hole between the smaller submachine guns that didn’t have effective range and the larger machine guns that were too heavy to be effectively carried by more than one man in a squad.

MG34

A German air-cooled machine gun first deployed in 1935 and widely considered one of the best of the early machine guns. It was one of the first dual-purpose guns that could be fed from a drum for single-person use or via a belt as an infantry support weapon.New Upgradable Weapons

PSG-1 MOD CAMO Mark II

Little things can mean a lot. Bubba installed a fast-action trigger and a high-speed scope that allows for a faster firing rate and faster targeting. Hold on to this beauty if Bubba lets you get your mitts on it!
