Commanders! 🫡
🛰️ A new update is rolling out across the front lines and it focuses on improving the challenge where it matters most.
Following your field reports, Endless mode has been recalibrated to escalate more consistently. Many of you proved capable of pushing deep into new levels without resistance after conquering standard operations.
♾️That will change with this update: The overall difficulty remains the same, but the progression will be faster. This will allow everyone to better experience the thrill of Endless mode. Expect the pressure to rise earlier, with more meaningful decisions from the outset.
🧮At the same time, we’ve conducted a broad rebalancing pass across key systems and defenses. Whether you rely on precision firepower or layered defenses, coordination and tactical planning should now deliver even more gratifying results.
🗨️These adjustments are driven directly by your feedback and your performance on the battlefield. As always, we’re refining the experience to match the level of command you bring to it.
