#Overview#

[New Storyline: Mashmak Rescue Operation]

- S.H.A.D.O.W. has detected activity from Theia's Vanguard in the Mashmak region. Recon Strikers sent to investigate have lost contact. Pilots must deploy the [PGI-X30G1 ALYSNES] to infiltrate Mashmak, rescue the team, and uncover Theia's Vanguard's true intentions.

[Strikers]

- S.H.A.D.O.W. has authorized 13 unique BREAK Strikers, each with distinct tactical roles, for this operation. Pilots can unlock them through research or by redeeming them with E29ts.

- Using data from previous drills, S.H.A.D.O.W. has updated weapon configurations and combat parameters for certain BREAK Strikers and improved weapon effect descriptions for all Strikers. Pilots are advised to review the latest weapon details and combat parameters.

[Tactical Station]

- This operation grants pilots direct access to matchmaking for [6v6 Operation VERGE] and [Mashmak: Co-op Mode], allowing free choice of combat zones.

- Pilots can unlock additional game modes, including [3v3 Ace Arena], [Mashmak: Solo Mode], and [Custom Room], by earning achievements and accumulating Achievement Points to reach specific levels.

- The [Recruit] feature in the Hangar lobby and [Default Striker Configuration] in each matchmaking mode help pilots form squads and join matches.

[Mashmak]

- Latest intelligence reveals Theia's Vanguard is weaponizing Corite Pulse Storms to trigger a global catastrophe. S.H.A.D.O.W. is deploying BREAK Strikers to Mashmak. Pilots must eliminate enemy strongholds, recover resources, and reach the extraction point within the time limit.

- Squads from unknown forces have also entered Mashmak to counter Theia's Vanguard. Beware of threats from Corite Pulse Storms and unidentified combat squads during stronghold clearing and extraction.

[Challenge]

- To help pilots familiarize new Strikers, S.H.A.D.O.W. provides Basic Tutorials and Challenges for all authorized Strikers, alongside the original [Test Pilot] tutorial.

[Credit Score System]

- S.H.A.D.O.W. enforces discipline by monitoring and penalizing negative participation, rule violations, and unsportsmanlike conduct in ranked and casual matchmaking. Low Credit Scores will restrict access to season matchmaking.

- Credit Scores are shared across all matchmaking modes. Pilots can view their current score and the Credit Score rules in their pilot report

[Mods]

- The Mod system is now live, allowing pilots to adjust their Striker's performance by equipping [Mods] for specific components. [Mods] enhance one combat parameter but reduce another within the same category (HP, Energy, Fluid Armor, Mobility, FCS, Weapons, Stability).

[Pilots]

- Pilots can personalize their body during codename selection. Enhanced Hangar cosmetic technology enables further customization of outfits, accessories, hairstyles, body types, and more for a distinctive appearance.

[Paint Job]

- The new Striker Paint Job system is live, allowing pilots to customize each Striker's appearance and color scheme with paints, patterns, and insignias. Pilots can also research special weapon blueprints to unlock unique Striker and weapon skins.

[Hangar]

- Hangar Exploration is now available, allowing pilots to explore the base's work and living areas in third-person view, showcasing the grandeur of BREAK Strikers and various weapons.

- S.H.A.D.O.W. will continue to upgrade the Hangar, with more functional areas and facilities to be unlocked soon. Stay tuned!
