Alliance of Valiant Arms
A.V.A
Unreal Engine 5 rebuild · closed test
EU against NRF. Pointman, Rifleman, Sniper. The original weapons, maps and rules, rebuilt from the game's own files on a modern engine with dedicated servers.
The rebuild
Same war.
New engine.
Every weapon, soldier and map comes from the original game files. The engine, renderer, servers and online services underneath are new.
- Unreal Engine 5
Lumen lighting and reflections, virtual shadows and Nanite over the original art at its full resolution.
- Steam gunplay, line by line
Recoil, spread, scopes, penetration, damage and armour follow the original game's own code and values.
- Dedicated servers
Every shot is checked on the server at 60 Hz, with lag compensation for your ping.
- One launcher
Install, update, repair and play. Updates download only what changed.
Two armies
Choose your side
The European Union and the Neo Russian Federation. Same rules, same stats, their own soldiers.
Team 0 · attackers in Demolition
EU
European Union forces
Plants the C4 in Demolition, escorts the tank, breaks out in Escape. Every EU soldier in the rebuild uses Steam's own body sets, gear and defence values.
Team 1 · defenders in Demolition
NRF
Neo Russian Federation
Holds the line: defuse the bomb, stop the convoy, run out the clock. Same stats as the EU, its own uniforms and gear, chosen by team as in Steam.
Three classes
Pick your role
Each class plays with Steam's movement, weapons and armour. Five slots: a primary, the Glock, the knife and two grenades.
Rifleman
In testingMid range and holding ground
The backbone of every squad. Assault rifles with Steam's recoil and spread, solid armour and the same helmet as the Pointman.

The maps, one by one
Shali is the first map in Unreal Engine 5. The classics follow through the same conversion pipeline, straight from the original level files.
Deploy
