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.
