Combat Arms Adds New Zombie-Ridden Map, Mercenary and Holiday Items
Nexon America continues to add new and exciting content to its free-to-play multiplayer online first-person shooting thriller, Combat Arms, with the addition of the Cabin Fever map to its cooperative Fireteam game mode. Players will also get a chance to play as a new female Mercenary character, Max, and load up on fun, festive in-game items. All of this new content will be launched on Dec. 23 in time for last-minute Christmas shopping.
This new map launches the second level of Fireteam mode, which introduced co-op play to over three million registered soldiers earlier this year. After rescuing a hostage and defeating a violent terrorist organization in Desert Thunder, players will need to hold off a batch of infected soldiers in Cabin Fever.
Maxine joins Combat Arms and while her friends call her Max, her enemies only know her as a blur in the distance just before they lose the ability to speak, forever. Fast, smart and boasting a cheery personality totally at odds with her expertise in guerilla warfare, “mad” Max is a very dangerous opponent.
Players looking to spread holiday cheer might want to invest in a Christmas backpack or horn. If Santa Claus is your guy, check out the available Santa Beard and Beanie or show your support with a Red Nose like his favorite reindeer of all.
New guns, equipment and clan emblems are also available in the update.
Cabin Fever requires players to fend off three levels of zombies while hiding out in an abandoned building located adjacent to the secret laboratory which created the awful infection.
Cabin Fever matches up soldiers against the infected and introduces four infected with different strands of the virus - , the Armored, Assassin, Dynamite and Tanker. Players will need to avoid and destroy these nasty and dangerous monsters to overcome Cabin Fever.

Nexon America Delivers Major Update, “Dawn of Retribution,” to Dungeon Fighter Online
Dungeon Fighter Online offers up big changes—that promise even bigger victories for all our Dungeon Fighters—with its Dawn of Retribution update, which launched today.
This new update to the game’s open beta features three major game play changes, as well as Christmas events to celebrate the holiday season.
Players may now enjoy faster leveling, easier dungeons and an improved, revamped tutorial as part of this update. A newly implemented experience curve allows players to make more rapid progress through the game, opening up more quests, more dungeons and more skills even sooner than before. The difficulty level has been brought down for some of the creatures in the lower leveled dungeons so as to aid beginning Dungeon Fighters. An added benefit to players just starting out in the Land of Arad are enhanced lessons from Seria and Linus, two important NPCs (non-playing characters) who all Dungeon Fighters meet at the beginning of their adventures in the game.
On top of these improvements, players can take part in the holiday spirit with the Holly Jolly DFO Christmas Celebration. From Dec. 16 to January 5, players will be singing, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.” Every day for one randomly selected hour, a nice, crisp layer of soft powder will fall on the land. When it does, players will receive a 20 percent EXP bonus when clearing dungeons. Seria has decorated her sanctuary for Christmas, spreading holiday cheer to the dungeon fighters that visit her. After visiting Seria, players venture into the dungeons hunting for the Christmas goblins who robbed the respected citizens of Arad of their Christmas knickknacks. One particular goblin, Snowblin, also drops the special Snowball item. This throwing item delivers water damage and could freeze an opponent…or fellow partymates, if it isn’t used with precision.
