Heroes & Generals Xylander Update Removes Unbalanced War Battles, Tweaks Rewards

The new update for Heroes & Generals sees soldiers strutting down a runway while wearing the latest fashions -- wait, it's Xylander, not Zoolander? Sorry, easy mistake to make.

Start over: The Xylander update for Heroes & Generals gives the Soviet army the AVS-36 automatic rifle, akin to the ones given to the Americans and Germans in the last update. There's a little behind-the-scenes tweaking going on as well, to ensure that War Battles, which are set up by player generals and can be unbalanced, are a little less unbalanced, with the unbalanced battles being auto-resolved. There are also extra bonuses to XP for players participating in War Battles and base salary is dependent on how long you play, rather than for just showing up for a few seconds.

Toss in a few weapon skins and camouflage uniforms, and you can make your soldier look totally fabulous. You can read the full list of changes here.
