CHRISTMAS UPDATE!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

To help everyone get in the spirit, we're updating the game with free Christmas themed skins and a new map! Each Hero receives a brand new Legendary skin (with female variants) that can be found in the shop and slot machine.

The new map, Training Grounds, is available in Custom Game and Daily Missions, complete with holiday appropriate music! While the skins are permanent, the Christmas themed map is only here for a limited time, after which the Heroes will take down the decorations (the map will stay, just without the Christmas theme).



Look forward to further content updates and patches in the coming months and be sure to join our Discord, where our members were able to vote on which skins made it into the game! We hope you all enjoy this update and have a safe and Happy Holiday season!

Thank you all for actively providing feedback on the game since its release. We're hard at work updating the game and are rolling out the biggest change yet! The XP system has been significantly altered to allow lower level players the ability to level up much faster against higher level enemies in addition to teammates sharing a portion of XP from kills. We know that a number of players have expressed concerns about the game's difficulty being too high and so we have altered the difficulty of some of the maps, added some much needed ammo and health pickups, and enhanced the XP given from certain enemies.

In addition to that, we have created a difficulty survey and hope that you can take 5 minutes to fill it out as your feedback will help shape the game!
