• Changes to the level design of the final stages

Hi Everyone!

We're finally live, with just a few hours of delay. This been a pretty tough first update for us because of special circumstances. Though we didn't manage to add everything we would have liked, the new content and features are pretty nice and we hope you'll like it !

So what's new ?

- The Korrigan Merchant and his treasure are now scattered over both maps. Retrieve all the gold you can and buy new very powerful items from the merchant!
- Somewhere in Brekilien lies an Avatar of the Earth. If you're brave and smart enough you can defy it and earn quite a few gold pieces in the process! Beware, he will preceded by an army of Golems, a new type of enemies.
- Brekilien now has a map (event if it's still procedural) giving you indications of what you can hope to find and (vaguely) where. Will you be able to find your way with the Soldier and the Apothecary who are not experts in navigation?
- The Harvesting has been completely overhauled and you now have to keep the action button pressed to collect stuff. You can also decide to release the button earlier to try a fast collect. But if you fail, it's the same as just cancelling the action.
- A few new challenges to unlock stuff at the Merchant

Sorry, if we were not able to add more challenging content for you if you already finished everything the game had to offer. Count on us for the Nun update to add way more challenging content and new difficulty modes! You won't have to wait long, it's coming in 3 weeks ;)

Enjoy!

(Expect probably a few hotfixes in the next few days)

• Added offline battle mode against bots. This was a community requested feature. Battle up to 11 bots in the Highland havoc map and first to reach the kill limit wins.
• Select total bots, score limit, weapon mode and bot difficulty.
• More maps and game modes coming soon.
• Bot ai is a wip, and currently they cant properly use dedicated melee weapons, so the electro-bat is disabled for them now (but the player can still use them).

Multiplayer
• Added player joined to server notification.
• Added potential fix for dying players being able to interact with their own drops during death.
• Added post round notifcation showing which player won the round (if any) and why the round ended in a draw (such as round timer expired).
• Added a potential fix for rare case when spawning into a FFA round you would have the spectate HUD enabled, even though you were alive.
• Removed the spectate player function and added a free cam instead. This is a lot simpler to manage regarding figuring out who you`re spectating, and there`s a lot less points of failure with this system.
• Add king of the hill weapon respawns during the match. There is a random chance that a weapon will be airdropped every 30 seconds into the map. Will keep an eye on this for balance and adjust accordingly.
• Added a king of the hill capture modifier based on the number of players in the server. The system before was fine for games with 6 or fewer players, but with 8 or more, it became close to impossible to fully capture the zone, as it was always contested. The new system means the more players that are active in the server, the faster you can capture the zone (if you`re the only player in it).

Added:
- Added new map: Museum
- Additional savepoints in Prologue
- New music added to jukebox

Changed:
- Health adjusted at lower difficulties

Fixed:
- Host movement settings being overwritten by clients
- Giants being stuck in wavemode
- Generator ropein Prologue was sometimes hidden
- It was possible to take gun into lobby
- It was possible to get out of bounds in several locations
- Guns on clients were jittery after being a ghost
- Chinese localization tweaks
- Other minor bugfixes & stability improvements

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:

• Panzer 87-140 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
• MPF Tier 10 Premium Light Tank
• Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Stryker ADATS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
• AMX 10 RCR Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
• M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Iron Crate

Between September 7 and September 14, 2023, the following items will be available:

 
 

The Panzer 87-140 is an experimental version of Panzer 87 (Swiss Leopard 2A4), fitted with a RUAG 140mm smoothbore cannon and an armor kit called WE. It was developed in the 1980s and early 1990s to counter the next generation of Soviet MBTs, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project was shelved, only to resurface around 2005-2006 but never passing the experimental stage. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Panzer 87-140 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Much like other Leopard series MBTs, it’s a long-range fighter with an extremely powerful gun and the ability to fire with pinpoint accuracy. Even though its armor leaves much to be desired, at long range, this MBT has few equals and can be considered one of the best snipers of its class.

The Panzer 87-140 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
 

The General Dynamics Light Tank prototype is one of the contenders in the U.S. Mobile Protected Firepower program to replace the Stryker platform in the fire support role for the U.S. Airborne forces. It is one of very few modern Light Tanks in existence. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the MPF is a Tier 10 Premium Light Tank. Within its class, it’s one of the heaviest and the best protected specimen with its hull protected by NERA armor capable of absorbing damage in the initial stages of battle. With its powerful 120mm gun and decent mobility, it is a decent front-line fighter, holding its own even in the thickest of fighting.

The MPF Tier 10 Premium LT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
 

Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.

The Bradley AAWS-H Tank Destroyer was an attempt by Loral Vought to mount four kinetic guided missiles on an extendable arm while using the Bradley IFV chassis as a platform. Kinetic missiles were cutting edge tech back in the 1980s – unlike standard ATGMs, they destroyed the target by their kinetic energy instead of a HEAT warhead, accelerating to several times the speed of sound. There was little to no defense against them, although they did have some drawbacks, which was why they were never adopted in real life. You can read more about the vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Bradley AAWS-H is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s an ATGM-based TD, carrying special kinetic missiles that actually become more effective with increasing distance to your target. It is the embodiment of a long-range missile carrier and is perfect for players who prefer sniping to close combat.

ADATS stands for “Air Defense Anti-Tank System,” describing its purpose very well. The system is intended to engage both air and ground armored targets. It was developed in the 1980s by a Swiss company called Oerlikon-Contraves and was offered as an interesting hybrid that would be able to deal with both Soviet tanks and helicopters or attack planes. Unfortunately for it, it came too late – only Canada would actually accept it in service and the end of the Cold War meant the end to all attempts at its large-scale introduction. The ADATS missiles were quite large but, more importantly, extremely fast and were certain to be extremely destructive to any Soviet armored targets, even though this thankfully never had to be tested in real combat. The ADATS turret was offered for a wide variety of platforms and was actively installed on a vehicle that is kind of like a cousin to the Stryker, the Canadian LAV-III. In this configuration, the vehicle was called MMEV.



In Armored Warfare, Stryker ADATS is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is a wheeled vehicle armed with two weapon systems – powerful long-range guided missiles and short-range unguided rockets, offering it some survivability in short range combat as well as the ability to deal tremendous damage if left to its devices.

The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.

In 1985, the Abrams was upgraded with, amongst other things, the 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon. Over 5000 M1A1 tanks were produced until 1992. This tank participated in Operation Desert Storm, which forged its legendary reputation.



In Armored Warfare, the M1A1 Storm is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. The M1A1 Storm look was inspired by Operation Desert Storm, including a gorgeous camouflage net model. But, more importantly, this tank is equipped with a massive frontal dozer blade, adding extra armor and ramming damage to the long list of its advantages.

The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.

The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.

Master Your Skills in Hero Mastery Mode!

Learn and master your skills with Tracer, Reinhardt, and Mercy in new training courses now available in Overwatch 2!

Do you have the fastest kill rate as you zip past the front lines? Are you an expert at charging your enemies? Do you master the skies with your Guardian Angel skills? Prove and enhance your skills as you take on the new Hero Mastery mode in Overwatch 2!

Hero Mastery is an all-new single-player mode, permanently available for everyone. The objective for Hero Mastery is to race through an action-packed course filled with training bots, obstacles, and jump pads as you race for the finish line. It’ll test your skills and limitations across training courses for Mercy, Reinhardt, and Tracer, with Sojourn and Winston coming later this Season.  Your score is based on how fast you reach the finish line, how many enemy bots you defeat, and how many Emblems you collect throughout the course.

With new courses come new Training bots! While most of the enemy training bots will look familiar, there will also be new challenging ones to shoot, dodge, and block. Tank Bots are beefy machines with high HP and barriers. Rocket Bots shoot projectiles that will deal significant burst damage. And Sniper Bots take out their targets from long range. These training bots will be strategically placed throughout the map, so you’ll have to figure out how to deal with them as you master each course. In some cases, you’ll need to defeat the enemy bots in a specific section before continuing to the next. In other cases, you’ll help keep friendly bots from being destroyed. Don’t worry—if a bot gets the best of you, simply restart the course!



Looking for the highest score? There are two ways to achieve an impressive score in Hero Mastery Mode: collecting Emblems and finishing with a fast time. Picking up Emblems grants additional bonus points to your score. Large Emblems are worth an extra bonus on rare occasions but reaching them will be much trickier than the small Emblems.  Each hero’s course also rewards bonuses based on their abilities, so strategize carefully to get maximum impact in the course!

Then comes your speed through the course. Depending on how quickly you reach the finish line, you’ll be granted scaling multipliers of gold, silver, or bronze.  Your time, combined with how many Emblems you collect, will determine your star rating and total score earned on the course.

Each hero comes with three courses, each with increasing difficulties. Completing the Recruit course with at least a 3-star rating will grant access to the Agent course. Testing your skills in the Expert course requires a 4-star rating or higher in the Agent course. Each hero also comes with an exclusive Player Icon,  an exclusive Name Card, and bonus Battle Pass XP, rewarded after mastering the three courses. Keep track with the Top 500 leaderboards showcasing the highest scores in each region!

We’re kicking off Hero Mastery mode with a limited-time event! Now through September 25, earn new rewards—including an exclusive Weapon Charm, Souvenir, Spray, and Title—when you complete the limited-time event challenges! Courses are now available for Tracer, Mercy, and Reinhardt, with courses for Sojourn and Winston coming in the weeks ahead. Don’t worry if your favorite hero isn’t available yet—more courses for other heroes will be arriving in future Seasons.

Hero Mastery is free for all players in Overwatch 2, so jump in and blink, charge, and fly your way to the finish line today!
