RoboPass is available in two flavours, RoboPass Free and RoboPass Plus. check out the GIF below to see the full content unlockable from grade 1 to 30!
Those with the free version of RoboPass will unlock the bottom row, Whilst players who purchase RoboPass Plus will unlock items from both rows!
RoboPass Plus will cost just $9.99, or your local price! Owners of Premium For Life will be given a 50% discount and will also progress through the grades much faster due to earning double EXP
New Christmas Challenge
One of the changes we made during this update is to change the naming of Campaigns to Challenges. We felt that this better represented the current game play. In addition we've also created a brand new challenge called "Sleigh Ride" where you'll face waves of Christmas themed robots on a Christmas themed map previously seen at the end of 2016.
New HoloFlags
We’ve created several new holoflags for players to unlock. To celebrate our very first season of RoboPass there will also be a very special season 1 HoloFlag which will unlock at grade 11!
The Season 1 HoloFlag will be available for the free version of RoboPass and RoboPass Plus.
