Development Development Update November 2026

354 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I apologise for the recent radio silence on development. Myself and most of the development team have been taking a break after Operation Typhoon to catch up on sleep and regain our motivation for the project.

For those who don’t know: Ronograd took us over 4 years of development to get it where it is today. We made Sawang in under 8 months. It was a massive undertaking for a team our size and we’re pretty pleased with the result.

There is still a lot of work to do from AI improvements, performance optimisations (where possible), adding more relevant content etc. But at the end of the day, we aren’t a massive corporation with hundreds of developers. We did what we could in the time we had.

Ultimately, the Operation released in a good state (especially compared to past releases) and I think Sawang has given the game a much needed breath of fresh air.

So what’s next?

As usual, we’re keeping our big ideas a surprise but expect some really cool content coming by Christmas. I’m currently focusing on AI detection and behaviour improvements and general fixes for zombie mode that should all be coming this month. Our mapping team is taking a well deserved extended break, so don’t expect any map expansions until next year.

I also just want to say a massive thanks to everyone who played on launch day. Most of the statistic websites don’t show it- but our developer dashboard recorded a peak concurrent of 40,001 players which is just unreal.

Dev previews will resume soon : )

Development Survey content results/discussion

712 Upvotes

Ello gang, MB here

With the survey now wrapping up, and racking in almost 15k submissions, I wanted to go over the overall content requests/ and content side of the survey.

First of, pretty much all of the content stayed in around the same since my previous gear/firearm polls, which reinforces our plans to add said items following their already planned near future release.

Starting with firearms, the top of the list still stayed with the M14, M107 and G3, followed by a mix of all classes and weapons, along side request for further attachments and more.

Onto gear - the split still remains with people wanting more infantry focused content, and second half wanting modern items. Thus we still are following the goals of adding both types as previously.

I'd like to thank you all for submitting in these surveys as they really do give us a much cleaner view on what you, the community, want to see in game. We are actively looking at all the submissions and analyzing it to see any items we might have overlooked.

Feel free to drop questions below! I'll answer them as I have time!

Discussion nitpick about M4A1 / MK18 barrels and handguards

10 Upvotes

something i have noticed and have been annoyed by to the point of posting is the fact that you **CANNOT** use longer barrels/barrels without the front sight on certain handguards that probably (really) should have the option to do so.

There are even these other handguards that DO HAVE the ability to remove the front post, but for some reason they are the only ones, and i'd really like to have this be an option on more of the handguards, thank you.

Discussion Preset Squad Callsigns & Element Numbers (OW QoL)

71 Upvotes

Giving squad leaders ( private/custom squads ) the option to assign a preset military callsign and element number would clean up map readability and make squad coordination way smoother without forcing any extra steps on casual players.

Preset Callsign + Number Selector: When forming a squad in the tab menu, the squad leader picks a callsign from a curated dropdown list (e.g., Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Ghost, Viper, Havoc, Nomad, Reaper) paired with a number (1, 2, 3 or 1-1, 1-2). Squad members display a compact tag next to their name and on the tactical map (e.g., [VIPER 1]), making it easy to stick with your element during chaotic night raids or bunker clears. Your own squad’s icons show up in a distinct color (like green or gold) on the map and compass, while other friendly squads stay standard blue.

Using a preset list completely avoids Roblox chat filter headaches or troll names, and anyone who doesn't care about squad tags can ignore it and play normally.

It’s a lightweight UI addition that helps pilots spot who needs transport, keeps ground teams organized in public lobbies ( to some degree ), makes large-scale Open World operations feel way more cohesive and more larp most importantly.

Question Is there anyway to spawn in open world with just loadout and no extra mags for it?

4 Upvotes

Every time i spawn, i always get 2 extra mags on my pistol even though i did not add an extra loaded mag on it, like i don't really need the extra mag cuz i rarely use my pistol and only on emergencies and id like to add more rifle mags instead of an extra clip for my pistol. I tried spawning with no kit and it still has extra clips on my pistol, is the standard really 4 primary mags and 2 pistol clips?

Question When is the P320 slide model getting fixed?

the P320 slide lock model is bugged when empty — when the slide locks back, the outer barrel and recoil spring guide rod completely disappear instead of protruding from the front, and the slide catch doesn't align with the slide notch.
