Kill Squads, Tesla Guns, and LasersNew Units for Each Dust Tactics Faction Are Now Available
New units for each faction in Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare are now on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore! The SSU have powerful new infantry in the form of the Red Guards Assault Squad, and their Heavy Tesla Gun enters the fray on the IS-48 Super Heavy Tank. Meanwhile, the Axis is leveraging some hard hitting infantry in the form of the Heavy Antitank Grenadiers, and the Allies are bringing some grave threats to their opponents’ infantry by introducing the British Commandos Kill Squad.
IS-48 Super Heavy Tank
The two IS-48 configurations: Lavrentiy Beria (left) and Karl Marx (right)
In its Karl Marx configuration, the IS-48 Super Heavy Tank is armed with a Heavy Tesla Gun, making this tank is a dire threat to infantry and vehicle units alike. Designed by the SSU, the tank’s deadly Tesla cannon ignores cover, has a chance of wiping out enemy squads in a single burst, and “explodes” for tremendous damage against enemy vehicles.
The Lavrentiy Beria is the second configuration of the IS-48 Super-Heavy Tank, and, though it doesn’t come equipped with the Heavy Tesla Gun, it packs a mean punch against smaller tanks and all infantry with its ATO-45 flame weapon. The Lavrentiy Beria also punches through even the heaviest armor at any range with its 152mm ML-20S Gun.
Red Guards Assault Squad
The core of the SSU’s famous Red Guards Infantry Regiments, the Red Guards Assault Squad consists of some of the best soldiers on the planet. Joining a unit of the Red Guards is an honor for any SSU soldier; it means that he has made it through the selection process and survived one of the world’s toughest training programs.
The Red Guards Assault Squad are armed to the teeth with their PPSh-48, DPM MG, UGLs, and Molotov cocktails, these troops are capable of dealing critical damage to unwary foes.
Heavy Antitank Grenadiers
Both configurations of the Axis’ Heavy Antitank Grenadiers share a single base and come with a special card with three health boxes, like on a hero card. The more traditional Jagdgrenadiere unit brings a devastating Caseless PaK 7.5 cm gun, specifically designed to cut through tank armor. Though bullets are dependable, laser technology can cut down foes with incredible speed, and the Laser-Jagdgrenadiere tout the powerful Laser Kanone for the express purpose of slicing through heavy armor.
British Commandos Kill Squad
