⚙ The Engineer is coming March 27th!! 🛠

Hi everyone - We have big news today! 

A MAJOR content update is coming March 27 including the Engineer and MUCH more.

Here’s the trailer!

The big new thing about Engineer is the charge mechanic.

Charges are emitted by items like the Battery or the Generator. They travel through the inventory and buff the item right below them. Different charge emitters often come with different paths and effects.

Engineer has many items that are powered by charges and gain special bonuses while charged in this way. But of course there are other tools as well!

There will also be new items for all the other classes, as well as neutral ones. This includes 7 dual class skills that two classes have access to.


We also have been working on quality of life features, some big, some small.

Here are two that we want to highlight:

Bag edit modes

Can be toggled to “only bags” and “only items”, where you can move items freely.

This should make it easy to arrange bags specifically.

Grid Storage

When the “grid storage” is toggled on, items are arranged in a tidy grid. This should make management easier when the storage gets very full.


Both features can be accessed via the toolbar (mobile players already know that one) and a keybind. And there are many more tools like these coming with the 1.1 update on March 27th.


We hope you are as hyped as we are! 😊
