WHAT'S NEW?
Beta 7 weekend will feature an even more expanded module system!
Module System Features Already Released
- Every module can optionally have multiple versions: Tier 1 through 5.
- Higher Tier versions tend to be better (or do more things) but cost more points to equip.
- Lower Tier versions, while less powerful, are cheaper to equip.
- Weapons and Deployables have modules too!
Modules Will Need to be Unlocked
You will start with a set of base modules unlocked, and will need to unlock new modules by acquiring unlock points in game. The number of unlock points is determined by your team’s performance in each match! You have all weekend to unlock as many modules as you can.
NOTE: Progress will be reset at the end of this weekend-long Beta window, so we can keep testing the progression system from a fresh starting point.
Supply Cache Drops
Periodically in each match, caches of gold will appear. They can be collected by controlling the area around them for a short period of time. Beware! Enemies will be hunting these caches also, and can block your attempts to collect them!
End Match Screen Makeover
Beta 7 will also feature a makeover of the End of Match score screen, where you will be able to see a score breakdown of you and your team’s performance, as well as see your Module unlock progression.
