Developer Update: Economy and Progression

[p][/p][p]Pilots, thank you for your continued support and patience as we shape the future of War Robots: Frontiers.[/p][p]Over the past few months, we've been carefully planning how new robots and weapons are introduced into the game. We know how important it is to maintain a fair, transparent, and enjoyable experience for all players, especially as the battlefield evolves with new content.[/p][p]With that in mind, we want to take a moment to share how new content will be handled moving forward. Our goal is to keep things clear and consistent for every pilot, whether you're just starting out or deep into your journey.[/p][p]So, here’s what’s changing, and how we plan to introduce new gear in a way that supports a healthy game economy and progression system.[/p][h3]How New Robots and Weapons Will Be Released [/h3][p]Our goal is to give you early access opportunities while ensuring that new content gradually becomes accessible to players through regular gameplay. [/p]
  • [p]First, new robots and weapons will debut through limited-time direct sales (including Daily Deals). These offers will be available for a short period and are designed for players who want to get their hands on the latest tech right away.[/p]
  • [p]Next, they’ll be featured in an upcoming Battle Pass or Event Pass. This gives players another chance to earn them through gameplay while also enjoying seasonal content and rewards.[/p]
[h3]What’s Coming Next[/h3][p]We know many of you are eager to plan ahead, so here’s a look at the upcoming content schedule and what to expect in the weeks ahead.[/p]
  • [p]September 23–30 – The limited-time sale for the new Kumo War Robot is live! This is your first chance to deploy Kumo on the battlefield. But don’t worry if you miss it—Kumo will be making its way into the Battle Pass starting October 14.[/p]
  • [p]October 14Season 3 begins, and with it comes a wave of new content. Throughout the season, we’ll be introducing new spider-type robots and weapons, each bringing unique abilities and playstyles to shake up the meta. We’ll share more details about each addition as they’re released, so stay tuned for regular updates.[/p]
  • [p]Also launching on October 14, several powerful robots and weapons will be added to the general progression system. This includes the Mesa and Ceres War Robots, along with the Nucleon and Apollo weapons. If you haven’t had a chance to try them yet, you’ll soon be able to unlock them through standard progression.[/p]
[p]There’s a lot on the horizon, and we’re excited to bring this new content to life as War Robots: Frontiers continues to evolve.[/p][p]Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss what’s coming next![/p]

Trap from the Warp: New War Robot, Weapon, Wrap & Events

[p][/p][p]Step into the web of the latest September update—fresh and bold like a pumpkin spice latte. Discover Kumo, the FreeCon War Robot that strikes from the Warp, unleash the new Horde Heavy Shotgun, and claim the radiant Gemwrath Animated Wrap. Test your mettle in the revamped Last Robot Standing mode with powerful team-wide boosts, seize upgrade discounts, and don’t forget to grab the community-made Raptor's Attack Sticker with the exclusive promo code.[/p][h3]KUMO: ATTACK FROM WARP WITH A NEW WAR ROBOT & WEAPON[/h3]
  • [p]War Robot Model: Kumo[/p]
  • [p]Class: Defender[/p]
  • [p]Dominion: FreeCon[/p]
[p]Meanwhile, waking up on Tortuga for the first time during all that kerfuffle, Carmen Ruiz  is fascinated by the secrets hidden in Tortuga's coffers. To earn pilots trust, she volunteers to decipher location of another FreeCon weapon cache by following encrypted records in Tortuga's Solidus. Her search proves successful—leading her to a War Robot unseen by any other pilot. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Patient as a spider, Kumo weaves its web from stillness and stealth—don’t rush, just wait for the moment. When that moment comes, support your allies and boost their damage resistance. The rest of the time? Slowly push through enemy defenses or reinforce your own lines.[/p][p]Equip Kumo with the new Horde Weapon, the Heavy Shotgun—an energy double-barrel weapon that fires a diverging blast of plasma. It’s perfect for the front line of assault. And don’t expect that front line to be out of reach—use WarpArmor (Core Gear). This ability lets the robot teleport to a chosen point and gives itself and nearby allies damage resistance for a few seconds.[/p][p]Kumo is now available in the Store and Daily Deals.

[/p][h3]ANIMATED WRAP: GEMWRATH (SEPTEMBER 23–OCTOBER 7)[/h3][p]The Gemwrath Animated Wrap turns your War Robots into a masterpiece of warcraft. This armor shimmers with a scatter of diamonds, framed by golden details worthy of master jewelers. But this is no ceremonial regalia—this radiant warplate is a living monument to the glory carved by War Robot and its Pilot on the battlefield.[/p][p]The Gemwrath Wrap is now available in the Store.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]UPDATED LAST ROBOT STANDING MODE (SEPTEMBER 23)[/h3][p]Game Modes Last Robot Standing+ permanently replaces the old Last Robot Standing mode in Ranked Play.

Map Spotlight: Horizon One

[p]Each battlefield in War Robots: Frontiers is unique, with its own pitfalls and perks. Horizon One is no different. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]FIELD RECONNAISSANCE[/h2][p]The freighter ship Horizon One crashed on this barren wasteland, giving this map its name. The ship was carrying a large cargo of Noachium, the mineral that stabilizes Warp Gates. This Freecon ship is now up for grabs by any Dominion that can seize control of the map. [/p][p]Mayflower is trying to contain the environmental disaster caused by the Noachium to the habitat, FortEvo seeks to preserve and study the effects, whilst Freecon merely wants their cargo back, and to secure the crash site for themselves. [/p][h2]STRATEGIC ANALYSIS[/h2][p]Pilots have plenty of opportunities to enrich themselves while the battle rages on on Horizon One. The map features covered routes perfect for ambushing unaware foes, with plenty of high ground for attacks and lowlands for retreats and regroups.[/p][p]Pick your Drop Team carefully, and bring only the best of the best to tackle this map. Drop into Horizon One today.[/p][h2]MODES[/h2]
