Welcome to one of the most anticipated and all-around mega-huge, extra-chunky important updates of Armajet Early Access! Before we breakdown Update 1.3.X's release notes, we want to take a moment to thank all of the community contributions leading up to this point—your voice is heard loud and clear here at Super Moon Base and we've worked hard to accompany this update with more customization features you want (and a female Pilot finally!) and overhauls to the career progression system, bounties, directives, and store changes. With changes this big, our amazing community should have much to celebrate and discuss over the holiday season. Let's dig into the details of Update 1.3.X while you're watching the ARMORY V2 Official Guide!
WHATS NEW IN 1.3.4 (iOS) and 1.3.5 (Android/Steam)
CROSS-PLATFORM FEATURES
- The all-new ARMORY V2 has arrived! Introducing our starting lineup of Pilots: Kruger, Ana, and 1337—customize and explore your Pilot's available flightsuits, skin mods, and jet trails and show off in every victory!
- Weapon galleries within ARMORY V2 have been updated! Check out the new Weapon info and progression indicators and scroll through your available weapon gallery when selecting weapons and Ultimates for your loadout.
- Seasonal Leaderboard rewards are now available for the Top 100 Pilots! Get Paragon after every season: 2000 Paragon for 1st Place, 1000 Paragon for 2nd Place, 500 Paragon for 3rd Place and 250 Paragon for the rest of Top 100!
- Addressed various gameplay and netcode related bugs (ONGOING PROCESS)
THE BIG PROGRESSION AND STORE UPDATE
- Attention ALL Pilots! We've listened to your feedback and have carefully tuned the progression system including Bounty Timers, Directive Timers, and most importantly Pilot Level-to-Weapon Requirements—all of these have been significantly lowered in requirements in order to maximize weapon variation for our community, especially for Team Deathmatch mode, upcoming tournaments, and general content creator usage. Access more weapons quicker and show us what you and your teams do with them!
- Dynamic Store prices have been adjusted and 'Bundles' are now available for unlocking and crafting more weapon mods!
- Pilots, Flightsuits, and Jet Trails are now available for purchase through ARMORY V2!
NEW USER TUTORIAL AVAILABLE
- All new recruits will be presented with an Armajet Flight Controls, Weapon Use, Ultimate Activation and Bounty Unlocking tutorial! (This step is skipped for our Armajet veterans, but you'll be able to check it out by logging out of your Super Bit ID!)
- WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE
- Holiday sweets and stocking stuffers could be on the way...
- Stay tuned for the Armajet "12 Days of Christmas" Streamer rewards special event!
- Maps and game mode options coming up!
- Armajet merchandise... are you ready, Pilot?
Dev Notes: Armory V2 is an incredible milestone for all of us as it sets up the foundation of future Pilot and Weapon customization options in all future Armajet releases. You can almost imagine where more UI/Menu items could slot in within the Pilot-Armory submenu. We also love the more streamlined option to scroll through your selected Weapons and any unlocked mods upfront (with a bonus added benefit of optimizing the menus with less 3D assets). We also welcome our first female flightsuit AND A.I. flightsuit for more Pilot options. And jet trail customization... we really can't stop talking about the excitement of ARMORY V2...maybe just watch the Armory V2 guide for more! :).
Massive changes to the progression system have started, especially with Pilot-to-Weapon level requirements (newer users will observe that the Nightfall is now unlocked at Pilot Level 73 which means any Veteran Pilot since Day 1 of Early Access may find themselves close to unlocking the most advanced weapon in the game). Directive timers have been significantly reduced (halved to be exact) and Bounty timers are down to 1hr each! Needless to say, many of these changes are to completely improve your pilot progression experience in unlocking weaponry (and seeing more of these weapons in the arenas in general). Fair warning: these changes do not change the pre-requirements of actually obtaining kills to progress! Skill2Win always!
Lastly, each and every end of season now rewards our Top 100 pilots with Paragon! While we develop a beefier rewards system, this was icing on the cake to release with an update this big. Let us know what you think of Update 1.3.X and thank you for your continued support of Armajet!
We'll see you in the skies, Pilot!
