Squad 10.5 Patch Notes (15th June 2026)

Squad 10.5 lands today with a solid refresh for Fireteam, the co-op mode that's been Squad's answer to PvE. Four new missions ship in this drop, Blow to Morale, Gun Line, Sneaky, and Council Decapitation, while the Sphere Mission gets pulled for assessment. That's real content, not just balance tweaks.

The bigger story here is the Sliva weapon pack, which brings that iconic plum-coloured furniture to the AK family across multiple factions. If you've been running AK-74s, AKMs, or RPKs and wanted them to actually look distinct, this is the cosmetic pass that makes it happen. There's also a new Field Rest emote bundled in. On the technical side, SquidBots now take cover behind parked vehicles instead of forming pileups, and the new objective system gets expanded with modular chains for mission creators, Protect Vehicles and Destroy Deployables are now available parameters.

One heads-up: all mods need recoking for 10.5 compatibility, so expect some Workshop items to be broken until creators update them. Check the full notes for the extensive Fireteam fixes, including helicopter flight model corrections and missing explosives bugs.

Hello Squaddies!

Welcome to Update 10.5!

This update introduces new content for Squad: Fireteam while also retiring the Founders Pack, along with a variety of bug fixes and improvements. We’re also introducing the Sliva Weapon Pack, bringing the iconic plum-coloured furniture to the AK family of weapons. Players can also make use of the new Field Rest Emote.

For our modding community, the Mod SDK has been updated to 10.5. As a result, all existing mods will require a recook before they become compatible with the latest version. If you encounter an infinite loading loop after updating, please unsubscribe from Workshop mods until their creators have updated and recooked them for 10.5 compatibility.

We would like to thank all Squaddies for their continued bug reports, feedback and support as we continue the development of Squad.
