See you in the arena, Bombers!

Dive into the latest Bombergrounds update with patch 1.6.1! 🚀 The Gigantic Duck Team is back with another exciting patch that includes critical bug fixes, fresh features, and reworks to enhance your Bombergrounds experience. Let's break down what's new and improved in this update!


[h3]🔄 REMAKE - Giro Ability Rework[/h3]
Giro, the beloved giraffe 🦒 known for the unique ability to interact with the environment, has received a significant rework. Giro can now use its ability and consume grass anywhere on the map, regardless of whether there are grass patches. This change opens up new strategic possibilities and ensures Giro remains a versatile and fun character to play in all scenarios.



[h3]🌟 NEW - League Points and Updated League Progress System[/h3]

In our recent 1.6.0 patch, we introduced the new League Progress and mentioned that it will now be distinct from your total trophies. However, the icons for total trophies and League Progress remained the same, which could create some confusion among players. To better showcase the changes to League Progress, we are introducing League Points with a new icon.


In addition to introducing League Points, we've now updated the League Progress system with new ranks and icons to better showcase your achievements and progress. The journey through the leagues has never been more clear or rewarding:

• Bronze starts at 10 league points
  
• Silver starts at 1100 league points
  
• Gold starts at 4150 league points
  
• Platinum starts at 8400 league points
  
• Diamond starts at 12400 league points
  
• Master starts at 20000 league points
  
• Grandmaster starts at 25000 league points
  
• Legend is the pinnacle, starting at 30000 league points
  

These new ranks and icons are designed to give you a more visual and rewarding progression experience through the game.


[h3]🛠️ BUG FIXES - In-Game[/h3]
We've squashed several bugs to provide a smoother gameplay experience:

• Fixed an in-game crash related to Brie’s trap and other damage sources.
  
• Resolved issues with Giro’s ability: Giro will no longer get stuck or become non-functional if bombed while using its ability.
  
• Eliminated occasional stutters in-game, ensuring a more fluid and enjoyable gaming session.
  
• Fixed Hoppy and Volter’s instant ground teleport: Corrected to prevent unintended ability recast effects.
  
• Fixed unable to use bat after respawn: dying while holding the bat charge won’t prevent bat use after you respawn.
  
• Fixed Quaker’s hitbox mismatch: Adjusted to accurately cover the intended circle area.
  
• and more..
  

[h3]🛠️ BUG FIXES - Lobby[/h3]
Fixed the tutorial pointer: Some players encountered issues with the tutorial pointer being bugged. This has now been addressed, making the tutorial experience smoother for new players.

Welcome to an out of this world update, Bombers! 🌌 The Gigantic Duck Team is thrilled to announce Bombergrounds Patch 1.6.0, marking the launch of Season 6: Spacelands!

[h3]🏆 REMAKE - League Progress[/h3]
We've completely remade the League Progress system! Now, you can unlock up to 15 characters as you climb up the ranks. Each victory brings you closer to new allies on the battlefield.

Important: Given that the League Progress is a now brand-new system with different rewards, distinct from the player's overall trophy count, we are resetting the League Progress trophies for all players to zero. This reset allows players the opportunity to earn rewards right from the beginning of the League Progress journey.


[h3]💳 REMAKE - Bomber Pass: Now Only $4.99[/h3]
We are excited to announce a lower Bomber Pass cost, now just USD 4.99, down from USD 12.99! While also switching the purchase option to real money. This change allows us to pack the Bomber Pass with all those random rewards you love, making each day’s grind full of potential treasures.


[h3]📚 NEW - Tutorial Game Modes & Tutorial Pointers for New Players[/h3]
Welcome, new Bombers! To get you started on the right foot, we've introduced new tutorial game modes and a tutorial pointer system. The pointer system will help guide new players to things like league progress, upgrading animals, claiming free shop items, etc.. The option to disable pointers is available in the game settings.


[h3]✨ NEW - Earn Star Upgrades in the League Progress![/h3]
Climb the league and earn star quality upgrades to enhance your characters. The higher you go, the stronger you become!


[h3]🛠️ Minor Changes and Fixes[/h3]
Shop Updates: We're introducing Guaranteed Drops info for Box Opens, making your shopping experience more transparent and rewarding.
Bug Fixes: Many in-game and lobby bugs have been resolved, ensuring a smoother and more stable gaming experience.


[h3]⚖️ REMAKE - Balancing Overhaul[/h3]
We've conducted a comprehensive balancing overhaul. All animals have been re-balanced, re-tuned, and optimized to ensure a fun and exciting gameplay experience for everyone. Expect a new level of competitiveness and strategy on the battlefield!
