- Full Character Page: http://www.heavymetalmachines.com/site/killerj/
- Weapon 1 - Round-a-Blast: Shoots projectiles forward that deal 10 damage per projectile and forces the enemies' vehicles to turn.
- Weapon 2 - Friendly Rockets: Shoots a frontal missile. When it hits, it deals 75 damage and accelerates the enemy while locking his direction. Deals 25 area damage when the effects ends.
- Special Weapon - The Big Joke: Launches an area-exploding barrel forward. Enemies hit spin out of control and take 50 damage per second for 3 seconds.
- Advantage - A Compliment: Killer J reflects 50% of all damage taken back to his attackers - this has a 3 seconds cooldown.
Gameplay Changes
- We changed how the Cooldown Reduction mechanic works, upgrades that reduce cooldown now do that for a period of time, instead of instantaneously. It works pretty much like a buff that accelerates your cooldown by the same duration that the buff stays on, so a one second reduction will reduce one second of the cooldown over one second, and not instantaneously.
- We've added a new server. Asia now has it's own place to play HMM!
- Items in the store can now be purchased with CASH.
- CASH is now sold for all the currencies accepted by Steam directly in the game store.
- Killer J has not been added to the Free Rotation and must be purchased with Fame or Cash before being played.
- Two new items have been added to the store:
- Fame Boost: Doubles your fame gain in all your matches while the boost is active.
- XP Boost: Doubles your XP gains in all your matches while the boost is active.

Server Problems
- We have deployed the fix for the issues the European server was facing during the Weekend, that should not happen again.
- We have greatly improved the connection code so that players will not get disconnected from the match due to minor internet/connection issues. This should make the game more stable for everyone.
