Dev Blog: Reclaiming the IMF with Fuzzhead2026-04-21The Irregular MilitiaThe Irregular Militia Forces have always held a special place in the heart of Squad. As one of our original asymmetric factions, they were designed to be an East Bloc style wildcard faction, a force that specializes in adaptable warfare in the face of standard militaries, especially in unique scenarios and game modes like Invasion. A Look BackThe Success of v4.3During the development of v4.3 our goal was to pull the IMF away from the shadow of the Middle Eastern Insurgents and give them an update that felt uniquely scrappy yet capable.
