- New item the Javelin Launcher! - 16 April 2026
Javelin LauncherThis one’s fun. It’s a remote guided rocket launcher, fire it and your camera snaps to the rocket. You steer it yourself, in real time, for up to 8 seconds.Fair warning though, you can’t move while you’re guiding it. You’re just standing there, completely exposed, praying nothing sneaks up on you.You only get 2 rockets, so make them count. This item isn’t in the demo yet, but if you want to follow along as we keep adding more to Data Breach, join the Discord and hang out with us!
