Hello everyone,
We’re excited to release our 6th major Update. This one is heavily fan-focused. We have revamped and improved the homebase, introducing one of the most player-requested features: a place to try out your weapons!
New Homebase
Our latest update will bring some fresh air into your homebase. We've added a whole shooting range section with tons of small utility options and weapon racks to help you keep track of what weapons you've already found and how much you've used them. Here is a list of all the new features in the homebase:
- Shooting Range
- Enemy Spawner: Test out your weapons on your favorite mean robot
- Weapon Spawner: Try out all the weapons you’ve unlocked and which ones you are still missing
- Shooting Minigame: Test out your skills
- Leaderboard Trophies
- Achievement Trophies
This is our first major improvement to the homebase but it won’t be the last. We still have many ideas to explore (more minigames?). We look forward to your feedback on the homebase itself but also the weapons and how they feel. With each update we continue to improve, balance and refine our weapons.
Make sure to also check out our trailer about the new homebase:
New Level Content
We’ve been working on new level content for a while. We were hoping to make it a part of today’s update, but the scope of the new area became too large. We will keep working on it and make sure it’s working smoothly before releasing it. It will now form the core of Update 7. This next update is tentatively scheduled for release in July.
In the meantime for this update, we’ve continued to update existing rooms in the Mines with new variations and randomizations. Finally, here’s a small sneak peek of the upcoming area for Update 7:
