Hi everyone!
We’re back with another update from Raiders Rise, and there’s a lot of exciting stuff to share. Let’s dive in!

🎯 Battle Pass & Missions Sneak Peak! 

• Battle Pass Preview You might’ve noticed the Battle Pass tab in-game. We’ve updated it to clearly show that it’s still in progress so players don’t get confused or think it’s broken.

• Mission Cleanup Missions got a visual overhaul, this is how they're looking now!

  

🎨 Raiders

• Latest Raiders! Huge thanks to everyone who participated in our polls! Final designs for Blayze and Bebbo are now locked in and looking great.

• New Skins Incoming

  • Snowbird: Disco won but it was a close call with the Mafia skin! 

  • Korin: He’s getting down with a disco-themed skin too, thanks to everyone who joined the live stream and helped shape it!

  • Jerar & Kathy: New models are in. Jerar is sporting a Hell’s Angel aesthetic, and Kathy’s channeling J-pop energy.

• Zantetsu: His final model is complete and ready to animate! 

• Sky’s Moveset
  Animations for Sky are done.

• Monster Animation Updates
  We’ve improved the animations for the variations of the bee, big bee, and mortar enemies.

• VFX Passes

  • River: Basic attack, silver bullet, and his sword ultimate now have full VFX. They’re flashy and feel great to use.

  • Snowbird: His clones now have distinct visuals to help players tell the real one apart. Better readability = better plays.

🌍 Planet 2! 

• Planet 2 Playtesting Begins We’ve officially begun playtesting Planet 2! We tried out five brand-new levels and had a blast. There's still plenty of balancing and iteration ahead, but it’s a solid foundation to build on before we move onto adding the visuals to bring the level together.

  

🌵Environments

• Desert Biome Expands We’ve added more environmental props to the desert biome including:

  • Crashed spaceships

  • Tech-themed props and structures

  • Re-skinned crates, doors, and barriers to fit the new biome.

  • New metal material exploration

• Tooling Improvements
  We built a new tool that lets us make coral formations much faster.
