AirMech Server Pet Back in November we had extended downtime while we rebuilt the servers. To commemerate these dark times, we're releasing a special pet and making it free to claim for the rest of 2025 . No catch, just one redeem per account. It's a sad little server that crashes down to the ground when in robot mode, and flies around after you when you're in air mode. All while sparking and s…
Rolling together a collection of fixes and work in progress for a minor update. Updates · Added Player Maps, Campaign buttons to Play menu · Fixes to Map Editor window, show authors and allow unpublishing · Campaign button just a test for more Wastelands maps being ported over Balance · Pepper and Stinger armor type lowered from 70 to 60 · Morty move speed lowered from 5.0 to 3.0 · Striker Miss…
Rolling out a build with various fixes and some in-progress improvements to the Units Loadouts management. The ultimate goal is to allow you to have more than 4 loadouts and be able to pick the ones you want at the start of a match. With Custom maps seeing more playtime, the last thing you want is to not have the right units for the map or gamemode you are about to play. This will also lead to…
UI updates! We've added (somewhat ugly) buttons to the screen when in Town to make it easy to access the various functions. But wait, doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a Town area to explore? In a way, yes, but since Town is not well explained or labeled, it's still quite a mess for anyone new to it, both veterans and new players. The goal is to make Town good of course, but this achiev…
Minor update to fix some matchmaking issues. One was where if you were invited and then joined the queue from the bottom menu, you didn't go in the general queue. We also reworked some logic around changing modes and player sizes. Sometimes bad things might happen if players joined and left. We've put some more guardrails to prevent bad combinations and try to make better choices if someone dro…
Many thanks to all of the players who have been sharing information with us about situations where they have not been able to play due to latency (ping) estimations when they really should have pretty good internet. This only affects a subset of players, so there is a good chance this update is not relevant to you, but it might be. Out of these groups: · Players who can use Matchmaking fine alr…
Minor bugfix and quality of life improvements patch. Something to watch out for is if you invite people into a group and then try to play games, you may not have common servers with them. This could lead to a black screen when loading which never clears, because both players can't get on the same server. Try to verify you have common servers if directly inviting people to play with. If you use…
Continuing the work on making Custom Games easy to setup, easy to browse and join. Definitely still bugs we are working out, especially how to configure what bots go where and move people around between teams but already we see people eager to use it. Look for the half buried structure in the lower right area of town for now. Once we get it working more reliably we'll move it front and center.…
We have new queues for Matchmaking, both on the PvE side and PvP. While these should mostly work the same as they have in the past, a key difference is it is easier to change what your group wants to do. If you start by inviting a friend directly, or get matched with them, you can change your minds and play a different mode or game type. That sounds minor, but the reason we did this is to lay t…
It's a been a long time coming, but we are ready to more widely test the biggest update to AirMech in years. Consider this the "Director's Cut" of the game, taking our favorite things from AirMech Arena, combining that with parts of AirMech Wastelands, and just going back to simpler more fun gameplay. Survival and Coop are back and front and center. We have the basics of a Town area to meet oth…
This is a PvP live-balance update aimed at addressing a few sore spots and shifting some units closer toward their intended roles. An additional live-balance update is expected to follow after some time for players to adjust. Join us on Discord to discuss the balance changes: - Bomber guns piercing increased from 50 to 55 - Bomber melee damage increased from 161 to 166 - Bomber armor decreased…
Balance, bugfixes and a few new skulls. There are some larger Strike features in development, including a rework to the team queuing systems and being in game together while looking for a group. Some of those changes were available for preview in the last few Canary builds, but need significantly more work, so for this update they are disabled while we work out the bugs. Changes: · Make faction…
We're rolling out some matching and ranking changes which go along with the new Season which just ended, this was part of some changes and improvements we are making to matchmaking and we wanted to have a clean break. We're currently debating doing 2 or 3 months for Seasons, and I'm personally leaning toward 3 so it can match the "seasons". We wanted to intoduce a new lower priced way for new p…
Big balance and bugfix patch! Along with the ongoing improvements below, initial features are in place for running our automated tournaments, and testing will begin this week. In fact, we have already run a few small tests, logged bugs, and will be making smaller incremental patches that focus on getting this brand new system working well. CHANGES · remove blast damage from Helix Rockets in Str…
AirMech Strike Update 268.5, Build 73323 Mostly incremental balance and bugfixes involved in the overhaul of how Helix uses Rockets. What seemed like a simple change on the surface snowballed into a lot of unintended stacking of damage and projectiles. Along with some other balance tweaks this should be a most welcome hotfix. :) BALANCE · reworking Helix ground rockets damage formula to be more…
AirMech Strike Update 268.5, Build 73323 Officially we'll call this a half-patch since it's focused on bugs, balance, and general quality of life improvements. Work on the Tournament system continues with it intending to be the main feature of the upcoming patch. We will be publicly testing that with trial Tournaments, so if you see one pop up you are welcome to enter it but expect there could…
AirMech Strike Build 73231 Launching out of Early Access has been amazing so far. We've spent less time with servers on fire than we expected after the initial weekend, and were very happy to be able to focus on more minor bug fixes and balance issues. We'd like to celebrate this by doing one of the most popular types of bundles from the past--a "Name Your Price" Bundle just for launch! Click t…
The previous patchnotes were accidentally deleted, sorry about that, so this is a repost plus a few fixes. A new update should be coming later on Friday. Update 267 and 267.1 We survived the weekend! Launch is going well, and after fixes this weekend things seem to be in a more reliable state. Chat has been good since Sunday night and Market has been good since Monday. We've been gathering feed…
Whew, a stressful weekend for us at Carbon! While the servers were "up" the whole time, a series of hangs and restarts would leave chat and other systems with embarassing delays or problems. There is a whole cluster of servers that handles different parts of the game, which is why different things would be affected in odd ways. All weekend fixes were attempted, additional logging added, and the…
We could probably stop the patchnotes right there. It feels surreal to be finally getting ready to push that button to leave Early Access on Steam. I believe we will go down in the record books as the game in Early Access the longest, and absolutely the one that had the biggest evolution and active development in that phase. Update number 266, build 73025 was pushed this morning. During these a…
Below is a catchup of the recent patches from the last couple weeks. We always post patchnotes ingame, but as we have been super busy preparing to leave Early Access we have let posting here lag a bit behind. Post-Early Access, updates will always be posted here along with ingame. As we move into the home stretch toward leaving Early Access, we wanted to give the Player Market one more chance o…
Sorry for the servers being down everyone, a combination of issues has the AirMech shard offline but the programmers are working to fix it along with help from our server host. We expect things to be fully restored tomorrow--could be sooner or later, hard to tell right now. When things are back online, we'll do what we can to make up for it--double XP, double Kudos, and the new unit Pepper (sch…
The Gangster makes short work of lighter units. AIRMECH STRIKE UPDATE #262 The Gangster is now available! With wheels in stead of treads, this heavy truck chassis has a lot of mobility, decent armor, and a nasty gattling gun. Sounds pefectly OP--be aware it isn't cheap to build and requires level 6 to build, so don't think you'll be Fort rushing using these out of the gate. But once you can bui…
Love is in the air (literally) in the world of AirMech--and this year we see the arrival of Valentine Neo as a timed exclusive Variant! New tracers are also available, the Cupid's Arrow , and the return of the Pink Heart and Rainbow Heart exhaust cosmetics. Introducing THE PIT If you used the Try Out feature recently, you've seen how you take cosmetics and mechs for a little test run in a mini…
Big things to note are the new abilities for Neo and Osprey. Neo now can do a powerful backstab attack while cloaked, and also has a super-stealth activated mode. Osprey has turned to the dark side and has tuned his nano tool to disassemble enemy units as a weapon! Both are experimental and will get ongoing improvements, fixes, and balanced. Feedback is most welcome. This patch (and the pre-pat…
Happy 2018 everyone! As this is a big year for AirMech we wanted to kick it off with a "Name Your Price" Bundle to celebrate the New Year! It's a special bundle with both Diamonds and Kudos and you can set any price you want (dependant on regional currency, usually around $1 minimum) and you get it, but only for a very limited time! As an extra bonus, beat the AVERAGE price paid (it is updated…
