Icarus Update Converts Classic Olympus Missions Into Open World Operations

Icarus's Week 160 update converts seven classic Olympus missions into playable Open World operations. The patch also highlights an ongoing investigation into a client ranged weapon firing bug.

The Olympus Operations project continues in Icarus with the Week 160 update, bringing a new batch of converted missions into the Open World format so players can experience launch content with adjustments.

Olympus Operations Expansion

Seven original missions from the Olympus map are converted into operations for Open World play. The newly transitioned missions are Forsaken Accumulation, Potshot, Agriculture, Preservation, Incursion, Seven Pillars, Sandbox, and Cryogenic.

Known Issues

Developers have identified a bug where clients connecting to a dedicated server or hosted session cannot fire ranged weapons using older existing gear. Crafting new weapons bypasses the issue until players rejoin the session. An untested potential fix has been deployed to the experimental branch for testing.

Why this patch matters

This week's update brings legacy content into the Open World structure, though clients should monitor weapon functionality until the networking fix is finalized.
