NEW ROBOT: MARS

Mars is the first robot that comes fitted with a detachable turret. While seated on the robot’s hull, the turret serves as an additional gun, automatically firing at the enemies within aiming range. When deployed on the ground, the turret becomes autonomous. It will fire at the closest available target and will only focus on your target if you press the ability button again while keeping an enemy robot within your aiming reticle.

Mars doesn’t excel at close-range brawls, but can deal devastating damage with clever use of cover. Mid-range weapons are recommended for Mars.

NEW WEAPON: FAINTER

This mid-range energy machine gun deals huge amounts of damage in one burst when fully charged and sustains moderate damage at low charge thanks to continuous reload. Fainter accumulates Lock-down effect on the target, rooting it in place after a certain number of hits.

NEW PILOTS: CAPTAIN CLYDE, KATE O’DONNEL

Captain Clyde: Mars turret fires at an increased rate and deals increased damage.

As a leader of a boarding squad, Clyde survived many pitched battles on board corporation ships. Fortune is a fickle friend though. Clyde lost everything in one of those fights and ended up in DSC prison. He escaped just recently and is now looking for revenge. Beware the sails of Griffin’s Fury! She’s on the hunt.

Kate O’Donnel: Weapons deal increased damage against targets affected by Lock-down. Damage buff is restricted to lock-down weapons only.

The adopted daughter of Captain Clyde, Kate commands her own squad now. She makes sure that no valuable tech escapes the battlefield one way or another and makes corporate merchants regret cutting back on convoy expenses.

NEW MOTHERSHIP: FROZEN SCORN

The ship drops a thermal bomb on the enemy position. All affected targets will move slower and keep receiving damage over time as long as they remain in the area of effect. Frozen Scorn comes equipped with 2 protection and 1 support turret slots.

CHANGES TO LEAGUE SYSTEM

These changes will go live later during 8.4. We will announce them separately in all our social media.

With this update we introduce league drop limits. After entering a new league, you won’t fall below a certain rating threshold, no matter how many battles you lose. Champion accounts, for example, will never end up anywhere below the Expert league. Masters will be locked above the Diamond league, and so on. See the table below for exact rating values.

Our main goal here is to prevent players from dropping their league rating on purpose and protect new arrivals from veterans looking for easy prey. We will continue addressing reports of purposeful inactivity in combat even after these changes take place.

We are also removing qualifications from the league system. When a new season begins, your account will be placed at exactly the same rating as at the end of the previous season. No need for the extra five trial matches. The mechanics of the Champion league, however, remain unchanged. All accounts in that league get their rating reset to 5,000 at the end of each season.

NEW SHENZHEN

The Shenzhen map receives an overhaul. We’ve reworked building models, textures, and overall lighting to update it to Remastered standards. The geometry of the map has also received some tweaks to accommodate for the arrival of Titans, as Shenzhen was a part of the game before Titans were introduced.

At the same time, we’re saying goodbye to the night version of older Shenzhen. Revamping it would take just as much time and we’d rather focus on our next rework. More news on that to follow in future updates.

POSTCOMBAT SCREEN UPDATE

You can now view mini-profiles of players from other platforms by tapping on them in the battle score screen. The mini-profile will show nickname, ID, and league. The option to report the player will also be available on that screen.

LGC Spotlight – War Robots

Check Out This Fantastic, Free-to-Play, War Machine Epic

I’ve never been so surprised to find something new from a random YouTube advert. To be honest the advert showed content I’ve yet to see, but this little gem has had me playing until the early hours of the morning, without even knowing it!

Here Are the Details…

War Robots (previously titled Walking War Robots) is mobile app game developed and published by the game developer, Pixonic. It is also available for the PC, on the GameCenter platform (My.GAMES), and STEAM.

In this game, players pilot giant robots (Mechs) in either 6 vs 6, or 6 player free-for-all matches. Battles take place on random detailed maps, where players compete for either beacon control or total destruction of the enemy, in the form of Team Deathmatch, within a time limit of 10 minutes.

Destroy enemy robots, capture all the beacons, and upgrade your weapons to increase your battle robot’s combat strength, speed and durability. Prove yourself in each map and use different strategies and tactics to emerge victorious in battle.

There are over 50 unique robots, and a plethora of weapons and upgrades which allow for people to decide on their own build. Later on in the game, players will have access to titans – Humungous war machines that decimate anything left on the battlefield.

The one reason I wanted to shine a spotlight on this game is that, even though the game has microtransactions, and could fall victim to putting off Free-to-Play (F2P) players, if they were pitted against “whales”, I have not spent a penny and the action is rewarding and feels fair. Despite some people having access to larger machines, it doesn’t feel like I’ve ever been put in a battle where I can’t have a good fight and enjoy myself. I fully intend on starting a small clan on this, as soon as I get the last of the currency I need.

Lox – Owner of only 4 low-level mechs!

Eight years ago, War Robots was released. Today, the project is all grown up and still gaining popularity. The game has more than 200 million registered players, with a third of active players being with us for more than two  years. Platforms also give global features regularly. Few mobile projects can claim such a lifetime. It is a result of the hard work of our team and its desire to find new growth points.

During the last year, we completed our massive task of War Robots remastered version with the release of HD graphics and a content Delivery System that made it easier for players to download updates. We created tons of new content and structured it. And we continue to support our community and constantly communicate with the players.
