Enjoy!

Commanders!

Starting on September 19, you’ll be able to earn a major bonus to your next Gold purchase (even a truly massive one, like 80 percent) by participating in the Scavenger Run event.

In other words, in case you win such a bonus and buy 1.000 Gold, you’ll receive 1.800 Gold instead. And that can make one hell of a difference (please note, however, that the maximum amount of bonus Gold obtainable this way is 10.000 Gold).

Scavenger Run is, in its core, a very simple event. There are many ruined and abandoned objects across the world of Armored Warfare and your friendly neighborhood arms dealer ran across one of them.

You are now being hired to scout it out. On a small map, you choose one of three bases and then scout its three warehouses by clicking on them. Depending on your finds (determined randomly), you will receive a sizeable bonus to your next Gold purchase.

This event will be active for several days (the counter in Garage will always tell you how much time is left), so if you’re planning to stock on Gold for the next Battle Path or simply want to boost your progress right now, it’s the perfect opportunity to do so.

We hope that you’ll enjoy this new mechanic and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

We checked out stages from the monthly Stage Jam (Teamwork!) as well as stages from Stages We Love and some from our Discord community.

Had trouble spotting where your creatures were when you had a lot of humans and rooms? Now you can more easily see them with a little icon above them, that becomes more visible the farther you zoom out!

Restarting a run will now also use your last used deck, rather than defaulting to... default.

If you found a bug or a crash that we haven't caught yet, let us know in the Steam Discussions, we'll have a look.

As always thanks for all your feedback.
If you like the game feel free to leave a review, as this helps us -a lot-!👻

Hello Fellows!

We have identified a potential improvement for our servers and will be taking the game into maintenance mode at 12:30pm PT.

We'll let you all know when we're Live again!

We will keep queues a bit slower once we're up and running again so we don't slam the servers. Our team will be back in the office tomorrow to continue working on things!

Thank you all again for your ongoing support and patience as we sort things out

Good Day, Tips Fedora
Our goal for Ragna, Tru, and their Mech is to make them as exciting to use for exploring the world of Driftland as our small team can manage. This time, Ragna received the upgrades!

Instead of endlessly holding Shift to sprint, tapping it now makes Ragna flap her wings with powerful force, launching her forward in a temporary speed boost. Time it right and you can pull off two quick boosts – BUT with Dragon Boost Plus, you can chain three in a row!



Additionally, Ragna can gain a boost by diving. The longer she dives, the longer the speed boost lasts. Combine this with a regular boost to create long, high-speed bursts!

We hope these changes will enhance Ragna’s scouting abilities and make traveling more fun and cool! ːsteamhappyː

We've also added some long-awaited user experience updates! And there will be plenty more of those coming soon!

Changelog for Update #29 (ver. 0.8.59):

🔷 Ragna can now boost her speed for a couple of seconds
🔷 Changed skill “Dragon Dash” to “Dragon Boost Plus” – enables chaining up to three flying boosts in a row if timed correctly
🔷 Ragna now charges kinetic energy while diving, and upon exiting the dive, she gains a high-speed temporary boost
🔷 Added and tweaked visual & audio effects while flying

🔷 Added option to skip cutscenes
🔷 Added master volume slider in audio settings
🔷 Added camera auto-center on/off switch in controller settings
🔷 Characters’ flashlights now turn on in caves
🔷 Improved visual cues for enemy waves and color grading, similar to Seer encounters
🔷 Ragna now sees icons of discovered places from afar in Scout mode
🔷 Technology and skills icons are now bigger
🔷 Fixed environment at the edge of the island where players could fly inside and get stuck
🔷 Polished environment for Archseeker camp
🔷 Polished environment near the river on the second island
🔷 Polished environment for airship crash trail on the first island
🔷 Smaller environmental fixes for other islands
🔷 Added some missing icons
🔷 Various smaller fixes
