About

Don't miss a beat with Operation Steel Wave. Discover the new hard-breacher Ace and his S.E.L.M.A Aqua Breacher that combines the demolitionist's explosive force with the humanitarian's care. On the other side of the action, don't be too alarmed if you find yourself slowed when there’s no barbed wire underfoot. This is the Banshee Sonic Defence that will alert Melusi of your presence. With them, expect a newly reworked House coming into the game.
