We're few hours away from 1.0 Launch.

In this round of showcase, we will be presenting the customization and cosmetic system that is newly implemented. This will serve as part of player progressions. Unlock skin packs with in-game currency and level them up when playing and completing online matches. As you level up the pack tiers, more cosmetic items will be available such as callsigns, banner, and frames. The skin itself will also increase in complexity. You can also buy your way through these tiers with in-game currency.



These are some notes on how the cosmetic items work :

• Skin packs :

[/b] Individual cosmetic pack , unique to each faction. Can only be unlocked with in-game currency. After unlocking, it can be upgraded up to 8 times. Each upgrade will provide an additional item. Skin packs can be upgraded as you win matches with the equipped skin or by fast-leveling them with in-game currency known as 'Credits'

Credits :

[/b] Credits can be earned when you level your rank. It is used to purchase new skin packs and to fast-level them.

Player Skins:

[/b] These replaces the texture material on the character, each pack contain up to 3 tier. At the highest tier, your assigned squad members will also receive the skins, allowing you to have a full squad with the skin.

Player Frames :

[/b] These are the frames that display your callsign in-game. Like the skins, they also have tiers that can be unlocked.

Team Banners :

[/b] These are commander selected only cosmetic. By choosing a banner, your base and surrounding areas will be decorated with these banner. Show the enemy who is in town.

Callsigns :

[/b] Your player character will be identified as these callsigns in-game. They are unique to per-faction and is one of the item unlocked in the skin packs. These callsign will also have an individual representation on the minimap. Unlike the Early Access version, callsigns can now have customized frames , hence you can mix and match them.

Rank :

[/b] Represent your rank this season. As you play more matches, you will rank up. Each game earns you experience(XP). Victory gives you higher XP than loses. As you rank up, you gain Credit. Rank will be reset each season but not your stats.

ROBOTICS
Axeron's Robotic Division places emphasis on the utilization of robotic infantries. This division has the best of available Iron Guards and it's supporting technologies. Improvements to its industrial capability also increases it's production capacity to allow highly efficient deployment of Iron Guards.



ENERGY
Energy Division of Axeron Industries brings together efficient power manipulation capability and superior ingenuity. Their technology allows them to focus their firepower in a highly precise manner. Commanders of this division usually favor energy-based weapon rather than explosive ordnance.



STEALTH
Stealth Division's main strength lies in the disruption and deception of enemy forces and commander. Capable of dropping Phantom Drone which cloaks units in target area, and even firing hologram army to divert attention. The Stealth Division forces the enemy to doubt their own eye and judgement.

Greetings Officer!

For today's countdown, we're showing off the 2nd pair of new battlesuits that will become available at launch. So give a round of applause for the Ace Vanguard, and Berserker battlesuit.





The AEOLUS suit specializes in timing strikes and guerilla warfare. It utilizes unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) and the hybrid suit's superior agility to fight with minimal exposure.



The Eagle Strike ability can be used for both offensive or defensive maneuver, be it charging in and deal AOE damage, or for tactical retreat, it can be used for both!



Model "115" Berserker is a close-quarter battlesuit that is adept at storming into fortified position. This battlesuit is often equipped by an officer who is interested in a more "hands-on" approach.



Capable of absorbing great amount of damage using Kinetic Collector, and temporarily disabling a vehicle, the Berserker is perfect as an initial assault force when faced with enemy charges.

These divisions have different capabilities; ranging from new units, new technologies to new Commander Abilities. Each offering a different playstyle of your choice. Faction division can be selected during the setup lobby.

The 'Down But Not Out' (DBNO) mechanic make its way into Eximius. When you're defeated by a player, your teammates has a limited amount of time to bring you back into the battle.



Old GSF Units and New GSF Units Lineup


Old and New SIGAR

For those in Early Access, you would recognize the GSF units on the left. Those models were used since our prototype and they have served their purpose as a placeholder. We remastered them along with many of the older assets in Eximius such as buildings and weapons.

New voice lines are added for all units for both RTS and FPS as well. On the FPS side, units can play different voice cues depending on the context such as "Under Attack" or "Enemy Spotted". Keep an ear out and take advantage of the situation.

The second one is Precious Cargo, an escort PVE mission. Players will need to protect a moving cargo from enemy raiders and bombers.

On top of having new maps. All the current PVP / PVE map has gone through remastering. Lighting, shading , foliage and assets has been remastered and optimized. Below are some examples

On the Commander side, the entire Techtree has gone through an overhaul. Previously we didn't have a proper tiering system, resulting in all technology unlock being lumped into one or two tech building. With this new system, as you tech up, the tiers are much more distinct. Each faction will start from Tier 1, and will advance to Tier 2 and then finally in Tier 3, commander will choose to commit their resources into one of the 3 possible Tier 3 branch. This will be applicable to both factions. The picture above shows the three possible branching tech at tier 3.

Take an example of GSF. After having Armored Logistics in Tier 2, you can choose to upgrade one of the three possible structure into a Tier 3 tech building.

Advanced Barracks - Unlocks Elite Marine & other upgrades
Advanced Armored Logistics - Unlocks Cyclone HWS & other upgrades
Advanced Supply Centre - Unlocks Guardian trooper & other upgrades


GSF New Upgradable Buildings


AXR New Upgradable Buildings


Reinforcement Tier 2

A new reinforcement system is introduced for Eximius 1.0. We intend for it to work primarily as an underdog mechanic by giving the losing team a small boost of units. The reinforcement will activate when a team Victory Points drop below a certain threshold. Each team will have 3 charges of Reinforcement. Use this to your advantage!

Costume Battle Pass System. Players can equip and level up their obtained cosmetic pack
