Also, updated versions both of Reactor and Armor Kit modules are now available. They work exactly like damage and durability modules for regular robots.

Tweaks and Fixes


  • Skirmishes are back! Woo-hoo!
  • Multiple Titan-related bugfixes
  • Cryo reload animation now works properly
  • Multiple robots shouldn't pile up in the same hangar slot anymore
  • Titan upgrade animation is much faster now

    We have also resolved multiple performance-dropping issues. The game should run significantly smoother on certain devices.
