[h2]NEW FEATURE: PILOTS[/h2]
Pilots are Robot operators that come with unique specializations and skill trees. You can level them up to enjoy bonuses to help get the edge in combat such as extra damage and defense, plus an Ultimate Ability!

When upgrading Pilots via Skill Trees, players can choose between different skill options at each level to create unique Pilot builds. The skills available depends on a Pilot’s Personality and Specialty, with different Pilots opening up to different playstyles.

The first Pilots to join the game are some of the finest mercs in the Wild Ten. Hail their callsigns and win the fight today in War Robots: Frontiers:

• Kate "Sparrow" Sinclair: A mercenary from Eirene seeking to make her mark in the Wild Ten, Sparrow is equipped with skills focused on damage output and survivability in close-range combat.
• Leonard "Monk" Fitzpatrick: Monk hails from a line of soldiers who died before their time, but he now seeks to carve a new destiny for himself. He’s equipped with skills that favor positional gameplay and long-range weapons.
• Marcus "Dome" Shedd: Born to a closed-off planet and never allowed to explore, Marcus now lives for adventure in the Wild Ten. He’s equipped with skills suitable for either close- or mid-range builds.
• Duncan "Thinkfast" Prasad: What Thinkfast lacks in brawn, he makes up for in near-unrivalled piloting skills in a Robot. Equipped with skills working in synergy with ability modules.

A recolored model of Monk has been used as a placeholder for both Dome and Thinkfast in this update. In future updates, every legendary Pilot will receive a unique model and voice lines.

Welcome to QNET, the interplanetary information and utility network. What can I help you with today?
[h2]QUERY:>>WHO IS KATE SINCLAIR?[/h2]
A mercenary Robot Pilot, currently contracting out of Tortuga for combat missions on the Wild Ten. 
[h2]QUERY:>>WHERE DID KATE SINCLAIR COME FROM? [/h2]
Kate hails from Eirene, an unincorporated Freecon holding colony. A ‘ZV’ (zero value) frontier settlement that has, insofar as public records will allow, no funding from its mother corporation. 
[h2]QUERY:>>WHAT IS KATE SINCLAIR’S BACKGROUND? [/h2]
Per Freecon records, Kate’s parents are registered conscientious objectors. This tracks with what is known of their colony, which has been the base of anti-war pundits and social critics for decades.

The only other documentation available to this utility network comes from a Freecon-sponsored War Robot modding event, in which Kate took the top honors.

[h2]QUERY:>>WHY HAS KATE SINCLAIR COME TO THE WILD TEN?[/h2]
Insufficient data. This network cannot speculate. Consider rephrasing. 
[h2]QUERY:>>HOW DID KATE SINCLAIR COME TO THE WILD TEN?[/h2]
Kate arrived on Tortuga via a vessel registered as The Ezquerra, operating primarily within Freecon space but holding a cross-corporate travel designation. Her listed vocation at that time was ‘culinary.’ 

Tales From The Wild Ten is a series composed by writer Patrick Kindlon. Stay tuned as the saga continues in War Robots: Frontiers, and catch up on the story with Old Wars Never End, Kate and Varangian, and Corporate Empires.
