Iron Nest Patch 9 Adds Ground Truth Skirmish Mission

Iron Nest receives Patch 9, introducing the Ground Truth skirmish mission, Cyrillic text fixes, and console animation updates.

Iron Nest expands its roster of playable scenarios with Patch 9. The update introduces a new free skirmish mission alongside a variety of interface and bug adjustments.

New Skirmish Mission

The Ground Truth mission joins the skirmish lineup as the second free addition. Players must rely entirely on frontline observer reports to locate and bombard hidden enemy anti-aircraft batteries.

Bug Fixes and Adjustments

The update resolves an issue where the Gold medal achievement on the Phantom Battery mission required killing friendly units. It also fixes an incorrect date on the Iron Road newspaper, prevents Cyrillic field report text from overflowing off the paper during long missions, and repairs a console animation glitch that caused it to stick in an unfireable position.

Why this patch matters

Patch 9 delivers a fresh tactical scenario and cleans up lingering achievement and text errors for Iron Nest players.
