Press release:
May 31, 2023 | Limassol, Cyprus.
The Nicosia-based (Cyprus) indie games developer 1C Game Studios are today very glad and thrilled to announce that they have just released the Fearmonger Battle Pass (which features the Brazilian operator collection BOPE) for their F2P tactical team-based shooter “Caliber“.

The event will last for seven weeks, starting from May 31 till July 19. The Fearmonger Battle Pass is divided into four episodes with 25 levels. Additional information about the event can be found on the official website.

BOPE (Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais, literally “Special Police Operations Battalion”) is the police tactical unit and gendarmerie of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State in Brazil. The legendary special operations unit was formed in January 1978 to combat various armed criminal gangs hiding in the favelas and to free their hostages.

BOPE got their country-wide acclaim after the Pope’s visit in 1997. The pontiff could leave the car at any time, so the special service of Rio de Janeiro had to take great pains to ensure the absolute safety of John Paul II. The unit gained worldwide fame after the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where BOPE supervised the safety of millions of tourists, conducting lightning-fast preventative peace-keeping operations in the favelas.

Being one of the most recognizable military organizations in Brazil, BOPE comes to the game bringing four new operators: Assault Hammer, Support Barrier, Medical Açai and Hunter Shooter. Other than the characters, four new badges, a new QG background, animations and customization parts will also be available to players to acquire.

For additional information on the new Battle Pass and the BOPE collection or media access to the game, please contact 1C Game Studios PR team at [email protected] or visit the official Caliber website.

An online multiplayer third-person shooter, Caliber’s gameplay is based on tactical cooperation between players, who each take on one of four roles represented by dozens of operators. Offering PVP and PVE, the key to victory in Caliber is a proper assessment of the situation at hand and coordinated teamwork among all players.

There are 68 playable operators in Caliber, with 17 real-world special forces units across 12 countries, including USA, UK, Israel, Germany and France. Each operator in Caliber has a unique set of skill sets, weapons and special abilities:

Assault – The fastest unit, capable of flanking the enemy to get behind their lines.
Marksman – Provides cover and eliminates targets at long range.
Medic – Heals and revives allies and is effective in combat at close and medium range.
Support – Heavily armed operator with lots of HP and armor. The Support’s main goal is to divert the enemy’s attention and disrupt their attacks.

Caliber was launched into open beta during late 2019, and has been constantly evolving from player feedback since then.
