Update 3.8 is here!
Greetings, pilots! Update 3.8 is all about new horizons. New map Carrier, new game mode Free-For-All, new robot Raven. We tell you all about it!

Free-for-all is a hectic 6-player mode where all pilots fight for themselves. The more robots you destroy in a single “life”, the higher your streak goes. High streaks give you tokens you can use to repair robots lost during the match.
Skirmishes are fights with novelty rules available every weekend. In one we make jumpy robots even jumpier. In another we put heavy weapons in light slots. Possibilities are endless, and as everyone is using same robots, things will remain balanced by definition.
First Skirmish will kick off with the Anniversary event start at the beginning of May.
The key difference of Carrier is in the structure of the map itself, as we call it — “tug of war” principle. Beacons are arranged in one line, coherently, one after another.
Carrier has a lot of shelters and strategic points and everything is surrounded by water, which destroys robots immediately. That alone brings new tactical opportunities.
Raven is a jumping robot with significant trick potential. It has 2 jump charges and you can even jump while in the air, changing direction mid-flight or propelling you higher up.
Time for some old-schooling sniping! Here comes medium Trebuchet — Ballista — and Gekko’s heavy brother called Flux.
