Good day, pilots! Update 4.8 comes with reduced upgrade timers, Black Market improvements and Ares paint jobs. Without further ado, let's dig in!

This set of changes is the biggest one we ever introduced. If you get something from the chests, it will either be universal resources (Silver, Gold, Keys) or items you can immediately start using.

We also got rid of Boosters. As handy as they are, that's not a very fun reward to get — so we removed them from all chests.

In a nutshell:

• Bronze Chest - only resources
  
• Silver Chest - resources and items
  
• Gold Chest - more resources and even better items
  
• Super Chest - strongest, newest items

To prevent FFA shootouts from dragging, we reduce the amount of respawns a robot can have by increasing the token cost of 2nd, 3rd and 4th respawns.

• March 5 - Nemesis
  
• March 12 - Hades
  
• March 19 - Ares
  

• Hellburner's ability sound now plays properly in sync with its animation
  
• Lock-down Ammo effect doesn't trigger after module's duration is over
  
• Improved stability across all devices

Our new even starts soon. More about it in the video. Stay tuned!

Available with the Lunar New Year event

Dragons' ability allows them to fly. When Dragons are on the maximum height, they activate an extra weapon that keeps shooting as long as you're flying.

Red Ao Qin is an affordable robot for middle leagues. When flying, it activates a long-range energy beam that automatically sticks to the target in range.

Green Ao Guang is the most reliable Dragon. When flying, it takes significantly less damage from all sources. Equipped with homing missiles for mid-range shootouts.

White Ao Jun is made for high-risk high-reward attacks. Built-in flamethrower works best for fighting up-close, and Stealth that activates in the flight mode lets Ao Jun cover large distances safely.

Buffs for robots:

• Invader Damage resistance +33% (while in the air + for 5 seconds upon landing)
  
• Rayker Ability charges 2 → 3, ability cooldown 8 → 10 sec
  
• Natasha Movement speed (at level 12): 36 → 38 kph, durability: +5%
  
• Butch Movement speed (at level 12): 39 → 43 kph, durability: +10%
  
• Raven Movement speed (at level 12): 44 → 47 kph, durability: +6,5%
  
• Lancelot Movement speed (at level 12): 30 → 33 kph, side shields durability: +12,5%
  
• Stalker Movement speed: 66 kph at all levels
  
• Gepard Durability: +10%
  
• Bulwark Physical shield: +10%
  

Buffs for weapons:

• Shredder Bullet spread reduced
  
• Sting, Wasp Damage +10%
  
• Redeemer, Thunder Damage +5%
  
• Ion Damage +7.5%
  

Ability duration: 7 → 5 sec, Ability cooldown: 3 → 5 sec
- reduces the speed advantage (Hellburner now has to close the distance more carefully)
- gives skilled Hellburner players more control over their explosions (as the delay before explosion is lower now)

Self-inflicted damage (on ability use): 15000 → 12.5% of max durability
- makes mistakes more costly on higher levels

Ability damage upon death: 59750 → 29875
- makes dying on Hellburner less rewarding



At some levels upgrade timers stretch for too long. We want exciting milestones to happen more often, so we cut down upgrade times across the whole weapons/robots list.

You can find all the details here

• Destrier, Cossack, Vityaz, Patton, Gareth, Jesse, Golem, Boa: Module slots removed
  
• Gepard, Stalker, Rogatka, Bolt: 2 passive slots → 1 active slot
  
• Leo, Griffin, Natasha, Doc, Fujin: 2 passive slots → 1 passive slot, 1 active slot
  

Medic Mender & Reanimator Weyland (by Red Rooster) as well as Urban Raptor Inquisitor (by Battledrone 82) enter the game. Thank you, guys - great work!

Greetings, pilots! After the release of remastered graphics update, we’ve spent lots of time gathering your feedback and analysing our data. That’s the reason we’ve been rather silent recently - we wanted to know our next steps and come with a decision made.

First of all, thank you for your feedback! Although beta-version was a success, the main branch release didn’t go as flawlessly as we expected. As we’ve said, this exclusive update for Steam was an experiment and depended heavily on your reaction.

We’ve seen all threads and discussion, this one this one in particular (special thanks to Bio-Break!). And based on your feedback, we’ve decided to reverse the graphics. The change comes with 4.7 update (coming in the nearest future).

The remastered graphics update was an important experiment for us, and we will definitely use this experience to further develop all War Robots platforms.

Yours,
War Robots team

Hey there, pilots! Update 4.6 has come with its main feature - Modules. What are they and how do they work?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD2q9FpY3_Y



Modules are the new sort of equipment that gives your robots unique perks and abilities. With one module you can escape certain death once per battle. Another allows you to hunt stealthed targets. With third, you can patch yourself up on the go — and so on.

Active modules give your robots new active abilities. To use them you need special Power Cells that you acquire from many sources.

Passive modules are more like regular equipment. You can buy for Gold and upgrade them for Silver like your weapons or robots. Some passive modules increase your stats. Others are more skill-based: you should think fast and act smart to make the most out of their perks.



To ensure that everyone can start using Active Modules right away, we give a hefty amount of power cells to all pilots, both active and returning. The higher your league is, the more Power Cells you receive. You can find the exact numbers here.

• WR Royale Tokens removed from Battle Rewards
  
• Power Cells added to Battle Rewards
  

• Black Market - fixed a bug causing Super Chest bar to fill slower than intended. The compensation (5000 keys progress for every 8000 keys spent this season + 5 Supply Drops) will arrive a week after 4.6 release on your platform
  
• Bulwark - fixed a bug causing rockets to deal double damage to Aegis barrier
  
• Mender, Weyland - fixed a bug causing Repair not to restore robot's Durability in certain conditions
  
• In-game ads - fixed a bug causing Ads to break the in-game sound
