About this game
EXFIL is a large-scale tactical infantry shooter built around teamwork, communication, and dynamic battlefield operations. Fight through hostile combat zones in PvP, PvPvE, and cooperative Combat Ops scenarios where AI factions clash across the map in real time. Hunt objectives, intercept enemy forces, extract critical intel, or survive long enough to escape the warzone alive.
Designed for players who want grounded tactical combat without artificial grind, EXFIL focuses on immersive infantry gameplay, meaningful decision-making, and re-playable combat encounters instead of loot treadmills or hero-style abilities.
Built for Tactical Players
EXFIL removes unnecessary friction and focuses on tactical gameplay first.
No character classes.
No magical abilities.
No endless progression grind.
No gear-score treadmill.
Just infantry combat, communication, situational awareness, and tactical decision-making.
Tactical Game Modes
Combat Ops (PvE / Co-op)
Deploy into active conflict zones where hostile AI factions battle dynamically across the map. Complete randomized objectives, avoid enemy patrols, intercept reinforcements, or exploit the chaos to complete your mission and extract alive.
Extraction
Secure intel and escape before rival teams cut off your route. Every engagement matters and only one team may survive the operation.
Search and Destroy
Coordinate assaults against defended anti-air systems while opposing forces establish layered defenses and counterattacks.
VIP
Track, protect, or eliminate high-value targets in tense objective-driven firefights where positioning and communication decide the outcome.
Team Deathmatch
Fast-paced tactical firefights focused on pure infantry combat, map knowledge, and squad coordination.
EXFIL’s objective-based gameplay is fast-paced and straight to the point, offering infantry combat that balances realism with accessibility. Whether playing solo, teaming up with friends, or squaring off against other players, you’ll experience scenarios that demand tight communication, calculated movement, and sharp tactical skills.
It’s not just other players you’ll have to contend with - local forces are organized into squads that dynamically patrol, guard key locations, and actively hunt down threats across the map, keeping every match unpredictable and dangerous.
Immersive and Dynamic Environments
Fight across seven handcrafted maps featuring dense forests, industrial zones, military camps and tropical jungles. With a 24-hour day/night cycle and fully simulated weather systems, matches are always unpredictable and ever-changing. Sandstorms, fog, and rainstorms will push your adaptability and ‘on-the-fly’ team tactics to the limit.
Dynamic Battlefield Systems
EXFIL’s combat zones are active war environments — not static arenas.
AI factions patrol, reinforce positions, launch assaults, respond to gunfire, and fight over strategic territory across the map. Helicopter insertions, roaming patrols, hunter squads, and reactive enemy behavior create operations that evolve differently every round.
No two deployments unfold the same way.
Hardcore Realism, No Nonsense
EXFIL’s fully simulated ballistics model accounts for bullet drop, penetration and ricochet. Combine this with realistic player movement, weapon handling, and VOIP-enhanced communication - including proximity chat, and every match becomes a test of skill and strategy.
⦁
Built for the Community
With a dedicated Discord community of over 4,000 members, EXFIL is constantly evolving based on player feedback. Self-hosted servers and dedicated hosting options give you precise control over gameplay rules and settings, whilst detailed after-action reviews allow teams to analyze every hit, shot, and movement.
A Sandbox of Possibilities
EXFIL is more than just its core game modes. Players have the freedom to customize their experience by adjusting a wide range of game parameters - from AI presence on the map to time of day, weather, available weapons, and respawn rules - allowing them to create unique challenges, and playstyles to suit any preference.

Killing headshots have a distincts effect.- Add option for turning blood effects off.- Add a Server Option for NVGs: On, No Thermals, No NVGs. Edits & Tweaks- Rewrite how NPCs aim with weapons, so that animation has less impact on their aim. Make their aiming movement less jittery. Make them more accurate at higher difficulties. This was already pushed in smaller increments to public test branch, just noting it in the changelog.- Suppression affects NPC accuracy. Near misses apply suppression effect that last a few seconds (stacking).- Allow equipping two LAWs- Increase C4 count from 2 to 3- Updated muzzle FX for SMGs (they were using old fx), pistols- Port player reloading, magazine checks to use gameplay ability system - this is an invisible change for players, noting it here if you see any new issues with reloading!Fixes- Occasional crash when NPCs die while using a door.- Using 2-handed GPS while leaning resulted in wrong camera alignment- If using the Toggle lean option, and lean was canceled for any reason, you'd have to press the key twice to lean again.- NPCs trying to fire too soon while reloading is still in progress- NPCs waiting too long before starting to reload- GPS sometimes being stuck in your hand if you start reloading or other actions too quickly while using GPS- HUD being recreated every time you switch 1p/3p view mode - likely unnoticeable but wasn't the most optimal - Also some small optimizations to impact FX handling + replace some of the surface impact FX that were lingering around too long- Remove rain effect from the main menu... the soldier in loadout editor was getting wet.Known Issues:- 'Empty' utility in loadout selection. Not a bug, part of the economy/shop work for Combat Ops. Ignore for now.Read full article on Community Announcements (luomu)Community & EventsOfficial
