About Headquarters: Cold War - Operation Pacify

About this DLC

The Cold War turns hot.

In Headquarters: Cold War - Operation Pacify you take command of Soviet forces in a high stakes operation near Hamburg, where intelligence points to the existence of a secret NATO nuclear missile launch facility. What begins as a routine suppression mission quickly escalates into a race against time to locate, secure, and control a strategic weapon capable of shifting the balance of power.

Fight across five missions, featuring diverse objectives, evolving battle conditions, and the ever-present threat of escalation.

New USSR Campaign: Operation Pacify

Take command of the USSR in a 5 mission narrative campaign set in Northern Germany.

  • Hunt down classified NATO intelligence

  • Assault a heavily defended research facility

  • Hold your ground against relentless counterattacks

  • Break through fortified defenses to seize a nuclear missile silo

Every mission introduces new tactical challenges: from urban warfare and river crossings to defensive holds and full scale assaults on entrenched positions.

Expand your tactical options with 16 new units (8 per faction), bringing Cold War warfare to a new level of depth.
