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 achieves a number of things: giving the veterans who just want a simple menu what they have been asking for, a collection of everything in one place for new players, and a rework of some menus to prepare for better gamepad support. The text will become nicer looking icons, and the order they appear will be tweaked for new players, plus options to hide/show things.

While not beautiful, it is intended to at least be functional, so we are looking for bug reports specific to anything bad happening with them. Please post them in the "bugs" forum area in Discord: https://discord.gg/AirMech

The AirMech Loadout menu has had significant changes to hopefully fix a number of bugs that were there, and sets things up to hopepfully allow AirMech selection during Pregame. The Units menu is in the middle of a rework. If you have 4 Loadouts or less then it looks fine...if you have 5 or more (veteran players only) then you will see the in-progress stuff. The intent is to make it easier to swap around rows of units, and when you start a match you will eventually be able to pick which 4 rows you want to use.

Custom Games and Maps! A small but potentially huge change is making it easier to access Custom Games, though the bot/player setup is still buggy. But Custom Maps have been enabled in Solo, Coop, and Custom games when you pick the map. Look for the new tile in the lower right of the Map select screen.

In-game event23 Dec 2025New Units: Bucko and RoninWe're introducing two new units: Bucko is an "improved" version of Bucky, recently recovered from an abandoned research facility. Apparently Bucky was criticized for not being accurate enough with rockets. The fix of course would be to put guidance systems in, making them missiles. But these systems take up space, which means less room for explosives. The tradeoff perhaps was not worth it, as B…In-game event10 Dec 2025Update 290: Special Pet Reward Free to ClaimAirMech 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.
