While the servers are down for scheduled maintenance, we wanted to share the full Mechabellum 1.0 patchnotes with you! As a reminder, most of the features will become available right after the maintenance, currently planned to end at 13:00 UTC, September 23rd.
At the time of the game's full release, on September 26th, 3p.m. UTC, we'll also enable the Competitive Seasons, Rank System and Early Access Rewards.
Do note, we want every player to have a refresh start at the beginning of every season. That's why we will reset Combat Power and Insight at the start of the season. But do not worry. At the start of a new season, the system will issue medals, credits, and season points based on the player's performance in the previous season, so your past achievements will not be forgotten. And there are career statics pages in the game now.
