Space Week This might actually be more like a traditional update? We turned on Space Week but didn't make a custom event--time was spent towards the larger goal of getting the Wastelands missions working here. But all is not lost--we've also kept the Oktoberfest barrels around as
Oktoberfest has landed More events in town! Looting the Pirate Crate went over so well, we added barrels all around town, each one has a chance to find one of the Oktoberfest cosmetics, or a Key, or some Diamonds! Every barrel at least drops some Salvage, and possibly a Part--and
Pirate Week is back! After a long hiatus we wanted to use this as a way to introduce events into the new Town. Instead of having to get some plans, build a structure in a special place, remember to collect it and all that...now there's just a big old Pirate ship right outside Tow
We're introducing two new units: Bucko is an "improved" version of Bucky, recently recovered from an abandoned research facility. Apparently Bucky was criticized for not being accurate enough with rockets. The fix of course would be to put guidance systems in, making them missile
AirMech Server Pet Back in November we had extended downtime while we rebuilt the servers. To commemerate these dark times, we're releasing a special pet and making it free to claim for the rest of 2025 . No catch, just one redeem per account. It's a sad little server that crashe
Merry Mechs-mas! Holiday events are live including daily presents under the tree in Town and Nicholai's last stand--the special Survival map originally in Wastelands. Can you find it? You'll have to venture out into the wastelands outside of Town and find the giant candy cane ent
Rolling together a collection of fixes and work in progress for a minor update. Updates Added Player Maps, Campaign buttons to Play menu Fixes to Map Editor window, show authors and allow unpublishing Campaign button just a test for more Wastelands maps being ported over Balance
Rolling out a build with various fixes and some in-progress improvements to the Units Loadouts management. The ultimate goal is to allow you to have more than 4 loadouts and be able to pick the ones you want at the start of a match. With Custom maps seeing more playtime, the last
UI updates! We've added (somewhat ugly) buttons to the screen when in Town to make it easy to access the various functions. But wait, doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a Town area to explore? In a way, yes, but since Town is not well explained or labeled, it's still quite
Minor update to fix some matchmaking issues. One was where if you were invited and then joined the queue from the bottom menu, you didn't go in the general queue. We also reworked some logic around changing modes and player sizes. Sometimes bad things might happen if players join
Many thanks to all of the players who have been sharing information with us about situations where they have not been able to play due to latency (ping) estimations when they really should have pretty good internet. This only affects a subset of players, so there is a good chance
Minor bugfix and quality of life improvements patch. Something to watch out for is if you invite people into a group and then try to play games, you may not have common servers with them. This could lead to a black screen when loading which never clears, because both players can'
Continuing the work on making Custom Games easy to setup, easy to browse and join. Definitely still bugs we are working out, especially how to configure what bots go where and move people around between teams but already we see people eager to use it. Look for the half buried str
We have new queues for Matchmaking, both on the PvE side and PvP. While these should mostly work the same as they have in the past, a key difference is it is easier to change what your group wants to do. If you start by inviting a friend directly, or get matched with them, you ca
It's a been a long time coming, but we are ready to more widely test the biggest update to AirMech in years. Consider this the "Director's Cut" of the game, taking our favorite things from AirMech Arena, combining that with parts of AirMech Wastelands, and just going back to simp
This is a PvP live-balance update aimed at addressing a few sore spots and shifting some units closer toward their intended roles. An additional live-balance update is expected to follow after some time for players to adjust. Join us on Discord to discuss the balance changes: - B
Balance, bugfixes and a few new skulls. There are some larger Strike features in development, including a rework to the team queuing systems and being in game together while looking for a group. Some of those changes were available for preview in the last few Canary builds, but n
We're rolling out some matching and ranking changes which go along with the new Season which just ended, this was part of some changes and improvements we are making to matchmaking and we wanted to have a clean break. We're currently debating doing 2 or 3 months for Seasons, and
Big balance and bugfix patch! Along with the ongoing improvements below, initial features are in place for running our automated tournaments, and testing will begin this week. In fact, we have already run a few small tests, logged bugs, and will be making smaller incremental patc
AirMech Strike Update 268.5, Build 73323 Mostly incremental balance and bugfixes involved in the overhaul of how Helix uses Rockets. What seemed like a simple change on the surface snowballed into a lot of unintended stacking of damage and projectiles. Along with some other balan
