Master True Tactical Realism
Ground Branch is the thinking man's first-person shooter. Developed by one of the original creators of Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, it delivers an uncompromising tactical experience. From the True First-Person System to the intricate weapon customization, every detail is built for authenticity.
Playing on public servers can be frustrating when teammates don't communicate or follow SOPs. Renting a dedicated server gives your clan or Milsim unit a private space to train, run custom operations, and dictate the exact time of day and weather conditions for your missions without interruption.
Unrivaled Customization
Place attachments exactly where you want them on the rail. Customize your plate carrier layout. Your loadout directly affects weight, stamina, and weapon handling.
True First-Person System
No floating hands. What you see is exactly what other players see. This ensures precise hitboxes and completely eliminates "head glitching" around cover.
Lethal PvE & PvP
Whether sweeping a compound in 8-player co-op Terrorist Hunt or engaging in tense 8v8 PvP, our servers ensure AI reacts instantly and bullets land exactly where aimed.
