SBM Commentary: We are SO excited to see what our Pilots think of the largest game content drop (so far) since worldwide release! There's so much airspace to cover in these Update 1.12 release notes that we'll be sharing (leeking?) some snapshots alongside 1.12's most important features: Challenges, Free For All, and Game Mode Mutators! Stay tuned this week for the word when 1.12 drops and dig in below!
Challenges
- Test your skills by completing Daily and Weekly Challenges with currency and pack rewards
- Claim completed Challenge rewards in the home screen and quickly check progress in-game during weapon loadout selection
- Squad up with friends to complete more difficult or game-mode specific Challenges
SBM Commentary: We've always wanted to give our Pilots more ways to gain rewards especially as we forge ahead with Seasonal development and future progression systems linked to even more in-game content. Challenges resolve the overwhelming requests by our community for more currency rewards for Weapons, Pilots, and Jet Trails unlocks in the Store. Have fun with these and don't forget to WORK TOGETHER to complete some of the tougher ones!
Game Mode: Free For All
- It's every Pilot for themselves in the classic Free For All (FFA) mode and only the Top 50% of Pilots will be victorious
- New FFA scoreboard indicating Top 50% (tagged in Gold) and your placement (Alpha) relative to everyone else (Bravo)
- FFA is available to vote on and play in all arenas including Custom Matches
SBM Commentary: There's nothing wrong with flying solo in our skies! For those who've ever wanted to shoot anything that moves... Free For All game mode has arrived! Test your flight skills against everyone in the arena and claim a top 50% spot to secure the W... err V (for Valor). Good luck in discovering which weapon combinations work for you!
Korean Language Support
- 하늘에서 보자, 조종사!
- Korean language support now available and ready to select from in Language Picker (Settings, Account)
Game Mode Mutators
- Play Armajet in new and very fun (incredibly dangerous) ways with Mutators—now available in every map and game mode!
- Mutators include 'Instagib', 'High Octane', 'Camouflaged', 'Fueled', 'Transfusions' and 'Fast Ultimates' (for now) and are also available to play in Custom Matches once unlocked
- Mutators are chance-based and may appear in the matchmaking vote screen as long as each member of the lobby meets a Mutator's minimum Valor requirements (check Valor Road for details)
SBM Commentary: Almost all of our Pilots have asked "What if?" so here's your chance to change the game with Armajet Game Mode Mutators! If you're high-enough in Valor try practicing in Customs and get your fellow Pilots to join you. We'd love to hear your feedback on what you think, especially as Mutators also give our Pilots a low barrier to entry for trying out new weapon loadouts such as the Instagib Mutator with 'Velocitas' only!
New Arena: DISTRICT
- Welcome to Armajet's skyscraper-filled cyberpunk themed arena, District, where Marigold Corporation HQ controls all aspects of the future skies!
- New: Soar through District's neon skies with exclusive 45-degree jump pads
- New: Ultimate Supercharger Power-up—supercharge your ultimate to 100% instantly
- All game modes are available to play in District
SBM Commentary: After last week's unfortunate social media takeover by Marigold during 'Velocitas Day' we have no choice but to introduce District as a new arena for Update 1.12! District is by far the most vertical, open-airspace, arena we have and introduces many more ways to truly achieve "Death from above." We're also introducing the "Ultimate Supercharger" Power-Up for the first time (a District-only exclusive... for now) in an arena that also has Invisibility AND Double Damage. Marigold Corp. executives REALLY likes to put on a show so we expect nothing less than a display of 'luxury killing' from our Pilots on District!
Custom Matches+
- Additional match modifiers are now available in Custom Matches: Match Time, Objective Limit (specific per Game Mode), Power-Up Options (All, Offensive, Defensive, Off) and Mutators!
- Practice newly unlocked weapons or fine-tune strategies with your fellow Pilots by enabling the 'Bots' switch
SBM Commentary: 'Custom Match+' is here! As an Armajet Tournament Organizer, Leader of a Clan wanting to set up scrims, or a solo Pilot needing some pressure-free practice, boot up a Custom Match server with every option available on any game mode with the option of any Mutator you've unlocked! We've seen some of the tournaments our community has been producing lately and we're excited to see what can happen with Armajet streams or competitive events with even more options and Mutators available to use. If you're looking to produce tournaments, give us a shout in our discord as we'll happily support these events!
EXO Ultimate Update
- EXO Ultimates (Super Speed, Super Shield, Triggerhappy, Self Heal) now have 'Recovery XP' upon Pilot death, increasing their usefulness when Pilots do not use 100% of the EXO's active time
- Recovery XP is equal to the EXO active time remaining upon death converted into % Ultimate charge
- Along with its normal 100% heal upon activation, EXO 'Self Heal' healing now begins after 0.2s if Pilot is missing health AND hasn't taken any damage within this period.
SBM Commentary: EXOs have always been perceived as less-than-stellar picks for Ultimates even though they're the easiest to obtain in matches compared to mechanical or strike Ultimates (lowest XP requirements to activate). Whether you're a new or veteran Pilot, we're certain that this new 'Recovery XP' mechanic can be appreciated (and capitalized on) as we head into modes like Instagib with Super Speed and Trigger Happy or Free For All with Self-Heal and Super Shield, for example.
General Improvements
- More Weapons, Pilots, Skins, and Jet Trails are now available in the Store
- Fuel Frenzy game mode now available on Temple (fallen Fuel Cells do not respawn)
- Language selection is now available in Settings (within the Account tab)
- Improved Armory UI with Primary, Secondary and Ultimate Weapon Categories with icons
- Friends List cap increased from 300 to 500 friends and now sorted by 'Last Online'
- Miscellaneous bug fixes addressing overall app stability
Pilots, thank you so much for your continuous feedback! Every suggestion or idea you have counts as we ramp up to deliver in more game content for you in the future. Keep them coming and get ready for Update 1.12 dropping hot TODAY!
