Limited Beta Version 0.1.000 Patch Notes
Welcome to the Hit and Boom Limited Beta Phase!
During the Alpha phase, we’ve created our initial map, test map and 6 different playable characters and 4 different factions. As you already know our factions, Valhalla Industries, Kayra Corporation, Amun Syndicate and Olympos Laboratories; they've converted ancient mythical powers and items to implement the BoomBots, our playable characters in the arena. This is the first time we see the power unleashed upon the arena.
Each of our characters had 3 different weapons that had 3 different skills to use in the game. Currently in the initial limited beta phase, we’ve increased our active skill count to 4 for each different weapon and builds. Now you’re able to play with 18 different weapons that are built on 6 different characters. We will be adding new characters and changes in time of course!
No time to waste! Let’s dive into the patch notes!
