Specialists against ACUs, Armored Aliens & monsters

[p]Greetings, Legend Hunters![/p][p][/p][p]The wait is over. Legend Battles has officially launched on Steam! As of today, the gates to Aurora, a 25 km² neo-futuristic island, are open for our Single-Player PvE mode. This initial phase allows you to master the core mechanics and explore the island's secrets before we expand the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The Roadmap: Aurora to Bellona[/p][p]While you begin your journey on the island of Aurora, we have massive plans for the near future. We will soon release the Bellona continent—a sprawling 400 km² neo-futuristic handcrafted warzone. This map expansion will launch simultaneously with our highly anticipated Multiplayer PvPvE mode, following the release of our Co-op PvE mode in the coming weeks.[/p][p][/p][p]The Mission Cycle: Scavenge, Succeed, Extract[/p][p]Your objective is clear: deploy to the surface, complete critical Attack, Defend, and Loot missions, and reach the extraction point alive.[/p]
  • [p]Attack & Defend: Attaquer les stations de véhicules extraterrestres pour empêcher l'arrivée d'équipements mécanisés lourds et défendre les tours de télécommunications pour communiquer avec le vaisseau bombardier.[/p]
  • [p]Earn Legend Coins: Once the extraction is successful, the precious Legend Coins that you did not spend during battles in the purchase stations for weapons, vehicles, helicopters or even teleportation portals that you earned on Aurora become your personal property to make purchases in the lobby Battle Store.[/p]
  • [p]Battle Store: Exchange your hard-earned Battle Coins in Aurora for exceptional cosmetic items in the Battle Store to customize your Specialist and make them an unparalleled Legend Hunter..[/p]
[p][/p][p]Specialist Roles & Progression[/p][p]In single-player sessions, you can gradually progress through 5 Tiers across all 4 Specializations. Mastering these tiers is vital as the enemy difficulty scales with your success.[/p]
  • [p]BULWARK (Drone/Shield): The ultimate frontline defender. Deploys Defensive Drones to draw aggro and Protection Shields to create safe zones under heavy fire.[/p]
  • [p]MOBILITY (Thruster/Vehicle): Speed is life. Utilizing Kinetic Thrusters and the Ornithopter deployment system, this specialist excels at rapid repositioning and Armored Vehicle insertion.[/p]
  • [p]ENGINEERING (Tower/Terminal): Keeps the squad running. They maintain defenses with Nano-Repair Towers and service Vehicle Purchase Stations via Neural Network Terminals.[/p]
  • [p]ORDNANCE (Turret/Weapon): Pure area denial. Controls High-Energy Weapon Systems and heavy Multi-Functional Turrets to overwhelm the enemy with raw firepower.[/p]
[p][/p][p]The Triple Threat: Know Your Enemy[/p][p]Prepare for intense, chaotic, and often hilarious encounters where Friendly Fire is always active. You must navigate threats from three distinct factions:[/p][p] [/p][p]1. ET-ACUs (Extraterrestrial Armored Combat Units)[/p][p]These mechanical autonomous arsenals appear as:[/p]
  • [p]Light, Medium, Heavy and Agile robots.[/p]
  • [p]Tanks, Rollers, Drones, and UFOs.[/p]
[p]They are all equipped with:[/p]
  • [p]Melee & Ballistics: Blades, Miniguns, and Tesla Machine Guns.[/p]
  • [p]Heavy Energy: Laser and Plasma Cannons, Missile Launchers, and Flamethrowers.[/p]
[p][/p][p]2. Aliens: Armored, Rogue & Civilian[/p]
  • [p]Armored and Rogue Aliens: Armored infantry carrying Flamethrowers, Wave Pistols, Grenade Shotguns, Missile Launchers, and Quad-barreled Drones.[/p]
  • [p]Civilian Aliens: Fanatical fighters wearing C-4 explosive vests and wielding spiked baseball bats. Beware of the little ones—they are often more wicked than the giants.[/p]
[p][/p][p]3. Ferocious Monsters[/p]
  • [p]Flames and poison: These beasts rely on organic lethality, spitting flames and poisonous liquids.[/p]
  • [p]Melee combat: Their claws and bites are almost always fatal in close-quarters combat—maintain a safe distance![/p]
[p][/p][p]Legend Battles is now available for Free-to-Play on Steam. Grab your gear, choose your specialization, and we'll see you on the extraction line![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for being the most incredible community.

Opening of the app on January 17. Play Offline Solo PvE

[p]Greetings, Legend Hunters,[/p][p] [/p][p]Legend Battles opens officially on Saturday, January 17th (9:00 AM in Beijing, 2:00 AM in Paris) – Friday, January 16th (8:00 PM in New York) in Early Access.[/p][p] [/p][p]In Legend Battles Early Access and for a small monthly fee, you get access to all of Legend Battles' cosmetic items, including all the contents of in-game store, battle passes, battle bundles, and battle sets. Moreover, all the cosmetic items you got with the Early Access app will be available in your inventory with the final release app.[/p][p][/p][p]Beyond just getting the game itself for free, downloading a game in Early Access like LEGEND BATTLES on Steam, offers several specific benefits to you.[/p][p] [/p][p]Here are the main "points" for you to use the Steam app:[/p][p] [/p][p]1. Influence the Game's Future (Early Access Perk)[/p][p]When you download an Early Access game, you aren't just a player; you’re a tester. You get a direct line to the developers via the Steam Community Hub. Your feedback on bugs, weapon balancing, or map features can actually change the final version of the game.[/p][p] [/p][p]2. Automatic Updates & Stability[/p][p]Steam handles all the "boring" stuff. Instead of hunting for patches on a website, Steam automatically updates the game in the background. This is crucial for Early Access titles which often push out daily or weekly fixes.[/p][p] [/p][p]3. Earn "Steam Points" & Customization[/p][p]Every time you spend money on Steam (or contribute to the community), you earn Steam Points. You can use these in the Points Shop to get:[/p]
  • [p]Animated avatars and frames.[/p]
  • [p]Profile backgrounds.[/p]
  • [p]Special "Legend Battles" chat stickers (we plan to develop them later).[/p]
[p] [/p][p]4. Community & Social Features[/p]
  • [p]Guides & Walkthroughs: Access player-made guides directly through the Steam Overlay (Shift+Tab) while you’re playing.[/p]
  • [p]Achievements: Track your progress and show off your "Legendary" status on your profile.[/p]
  • [p]Steam Workshop: If the game supports it, this is where you’ll find easy-to-install mods or custom skins.[/p]
[p] [/p][p]5. Secure Ownership & Cloud Saves[/p][p]If you get a new PC or play on a Steam Deck (or the new 2026 Steam Machine), your progress is saved in the cloud. You won't lose your gear or level progress in Legend Battles just because you switched devices.[/p][p] [/p][p]6. Refund Protection[/p][p]Steam has a solid refund policy. If you download Legend Battles and realize your PC can't handle the Unreal Engine 5.6 graphics, you can usually get a refund as long as you've played for less than 2 hours and owned it for less than 14 days.[/p][p][/p][p]Please, add Legend Battles to your Steam Wishlist and follow us to stay tuned for the official updates and patch notes![/p][p] [/p][p]Enter the Command Room!

Loadouts, Drops, Purchase Stations, Battle Coins

[p]Greetings, Legends!
[/p][p]Your power in Legend Battles doesn’t come from luck. It comes from preparation, engineering, and mastering the systems that shape every firefight. At the center of all this lies the Loadout — your personal combat identity — with the Airdrops and the Purchase Stations, the high-value terminals that fuel your squad’s progression.[/p][p] [/p][p]Today, we’re diving deep into how Loadouts, Loadout Drops, Purchase Stations, and mid-match upgrades work in Legend Battles so every Legend enters Aurora and Bellona with absolute confidence.[/p][p][/p][p]1. What’s inside your Legend Battle Loadout?[/p][p] [/p][p]Your Loadout is a 1:1 copy of one of the five classes you've built inside the Lobby:[/p]
  • [p]Defender[/p]
  • [p]Attacker[/p]
  • [p]Sniper[/p]
  • [p]Destructor[/p]
  • [p]Terminator[/p]
[p][/p][p]Each Loadout includes weapon, gear loadouts, vehicle loadouts and helicopter loadouts, giving you unmatched tactical variety.[/p][p][/p][p]Your weapons and gear Loadout Contains:[/p][p]✔ Primary Weapon
Fully customized AR, SMG, LMG, sniper, or battle rifle with attachments.[/p][p]✔ Secondary Weapon
Pistol or revolver—also fully modded.[/p][p]✔ Third Weapon
A melee weapon such as a tactical knife… or the iconic combat guitar.[/p][p]✔ Lethal Equipment
Grenades, Molotovs, C-4, and more.[/p][p]✔ Fast Mobility Vehicle
Choose the vehicle you want to drop with: superbike, off-road truck, racing cars, etc.[/p][p]✔ Gear Package
Helmet, bulletproof vest, backpack.[/p][p] [/p][p]This is more than equipment.
This is your identity as a Legend—your customized combat DNA.[/p][p][/p][p]2. How to Secure your Loadout Mid Match[/p][p][/p][p]There are three main methods of obtaining your full Loadout:[/p][p][/p][p]Loadout Drop: Weapons and gear at half price, payable with combat coins. Beware, chaos is guaranteed as the drop approaches so prepare your smoke grenades![/p][p][/p][p]Weapon and Gear Purchase Station: Weapons and equipment at full price, payable with combat coins. Purchase them in secluded locations, far from enemy eyes, but beware of ambushes.[/p][p][/p][p]Vehicle Purchase Station: Vehicles at full price, payable with combat coins, but the scarcity of these vehicle purchase stations leads to chaos and snipers all around.[/p][p][/p][p]Helicopter Purchase Station: Choppers can be obtained at standard cost using combat coins, but the limited number of these helicopter purchase stations results in widespread disorder and snipers lurking everywhere.[/p][p][/p][p]Let’s break them down.[/p][p][/p][p]A. Loadout Drop Events[/p][p]At set intervals between circles 2–6, multiple Loadout Crates fall across Aurora and Bellona.[/p][p][/p][p]Key Facts:[/p]
  • [p]Anyone can access them[/p]
  • [p]Extremely contested[/p]
  • [p]Instant access to your full custom Loadout[/p]
  • [p]Best approached with overwatch and smoke cover[/p]
[p][/p][p]Pros: Half price, fast, powerful
Cons: You might walk into four snipers and an RPG[/p][p][/p][p]3. Purchase Stations — The Heart of Gear Progression[/p][p]Purchase Stations have evolved significantly in Legend Battles, reshaping how squads obtain their Loadouts.[/p][p][/p][p]The match opens with a brief period where players must depend entirely on what they can find, because both Loadout Drops and Purchase Stations remain inactive until the first circle finishes collapsing.[/p][p][/p][p]The Weapon and Gear Loadout Purchase Station:[/p][p][/p][p]This early phase pushes every squad into pure scavenger mode, forcing quick searches for weapons, attachments, Battle Coins, and a reliable vehicle before the battlefield begins to tighten. When the second circle arrives, the tactical landscape shifts: Purchase Stations power on, letting teams invest their earned currency, and Loadout Drops start appearing, giving access to personalized builds.[/p][p][/p][p]From that moment until the penultimate circle shuts everything down again, the match evolves from improvised survival to high-stakes, cash-driven customization where smart spending and timing can determine who controls the endgame.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the most reliable Loadout method in the game.[/p][p][/p][p]The Vehicle Loadout Purchase Station:[/p][p][/p][p]4. How to Earn Battle Coins (BC)[/p][p][/p][p]In Legend Battles, the flow of Battle Coins (BC) is intricately woven into the core systems of combat, exploration, and squad synergy, creating an economy where every meaningful action has value. Eliminations and assists remain the most dramatic sources of BC, instantly rewarding players for precision, aggression, and tactical superiority. But the economy doesn’t stop at raw firepower—teamplay is deeply monetized. Legends who share weapons, armor plates, ammo, medkits, or tactical gear with their teammates receive BC for their cooperation, reinforcing a culture of mutual support and strategic resource circulation within the squad.[/p][p][/p][p]The Helicopter Loadout Purchase Station:[/p][p][/p][p]Beyond combat contributions, the battlefield itself is a treasure trove. Fallen enemies drop Legend Coins, high-value tokens that can dramatically boost a team's economy when recovered—though retrieving them often requires navigating high-risk zones and contested kill sites. Meanwhile, BC bundles scattered across Aurora and Bellona encourage constant movement and exploration, rewarding players who search interiors, rooftops, alleys, underground passages, and hidden side rooms. This layered economy ensures that whether you’re fragging enemies, backing up your squad, or scouring the environment like a seasoned scavenger, your efforts steadily fuel your path toward superior loadouts, tactical purchases, and late-game dominance.[/p][p][/p][p]5. Mid-Match Loadout Changes[/p][p]Yes — in Legend Battles, you can change your loadout during the match by using:[/p]
  • [p]Bought Loadout Drops[/p]
  • [p]Bought Loadout weapon and gear purchase station[/p]
  • [p]Bought Loadout vehicle purchase station[/p]
  • [p]Bought Loadout helicopter purchase station[/p]
[p][/p][p]However: you cannot swap loadouts through a menu mid-fight.
You must interact with a Loadout Drop Crate or a Loadout Purchase Station.[/p][p][/p][p]Each drop and purchase station allows every player to pick their own personal loadout, even if multiple squads arrive.[/p][p][/p][p]6. Purchase Station Availability and Map Coverage[/p][p][/p][p]Aurora’s colossal battlefield is built to keep Legends on the move, rewarding bold rotations and smart economic choices with a sprawling, high-stakes purchase network unlike anything in the genre. Across its cities, deserts, temples, and underground zones, players will discover 110 Weapon & Gear Purchase Stations and 12 Vehicle Purchase Stations and 9 Helicopter Purchase Stations, each placed to create constant opportunities for last-second power spikes, strategic revives, and clutch loadout rebuys.[/p][p]Late-game, Purchase Stations become high-risk hotspots for ambushes.[/p][p][/p][p]Whether you’re fighting through neon megacity rooftops or weaving through cyberpunk villages, chances are a station is always within reach—if you’re willing to fight for it. The chaos intensifies with dynamic Loadout Drops, delivered by roaring air support and capable of landing anywhere inside the active combat zone, sometimes drifting right onto the gas edge or into wide-open kill zones. Contesting these drops becomes a high-risk, high-reward showdown: expose yourself to enemy fire for the chance to instantly reclaim your full customized loadout, or let rival squads steal your power spike and turn the match against you.[/p][p][/p][p]In Legend Battles, economic mastery isn’t optional—it’s a lethal weapon.[/p][p][/p][p]7. About In-Game Currency: Battle Coins (BC)[/p][p][/p][p]The flow of Battle Coins (BC) is the lifeblood of your economic and tactical dominance in Legend Battles, built on a strict match-based economy. You must aggressively earn this volatile cash during the high-stakes chaos of the match itself—looting, completing contracts, and executing rival Legends—to fund vital mid-game purchases like weapon and gear Loadout Drops, weapon and gear Loadout Purchase Stations or vehicle Loadout Purchase Station.[/p][p][/p][p]Crucially, any remaining BC you secure is safely stored in your permanent Battle Coins Wallet after extraction, ready to be spent on exclusive cosmetics in the Battle Store.[/p][p][/p][p]However, for every new deployment, your operational funds are reset to zero; the BC Wallet cannot be accessed during live gameplay, forcing you to prove your worth and rebuild your combat fortune from the ground up every single match.[/p][p][/p][p]Final Thoughts[/p][p]Loadouts are the backbone of Legend Battles.
[/p][p]Mastering when and how to grab them is the difference between:[/p][p]✔ A frustrated early wipe
and
✔ A flawless Victory Royale[/p][p]Loadout Drops = high risk, high reward
Purchase Stations = full control at a premium[/p][p][/p][p]Whichever method you choose, your Loadout defines the Legend you become on the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][p]Good luck out there, Legends.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy hunting.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for being the most incredible community.
