Release Notes: Update 1.05
Greeting, pilots! Update 1.05 for Mech Arena: Robot Showdown is now live! Take a moment to read through the Release Notes to see what’s new!
Crate Opening Mechanics Change (Tokens)
Crates are no longer available as rewards for completing Battles. Instead, they will be available in the Hangar at all times. Completing Battles grants Tokens, which in turn can be spent to unlock Crates.
To open a Crate, you need to collect the required number of Tokens.
There are two types of Tokens:
Battle Tokens. These Tokens are used to open Battle Crates. The number of Tokens received by the player depends on RPs gained during the battle. Player receives Battle Tokens based on their performance no matter the outcome of the battle.
There is a limit in place on how many Battle Tokens can be collected. The maximum number of Tokens increases as the player progresses through Divisions. Once the limit has been reached, no further Battle Tokens can be awarded for 2,5 hours. Progressing into a higher-tier Division resets the limit to 0 and allows more Tokens to be obtained.
Victory Tokens. These Tokens can only be gained by winning Battles. Victory Tokens are required to open Victory Crates. The number of Tokens received does not depend on RPs gained in the battle, but depends on the player’s current Division.
There is a limit in place on how many Victory Tokens can be collected. The maximum number of Tokens increases as the player progresses through Divisions. Once the limit has been reached, no further Victory Tokens can be awarded for 8 hours. Progressing into a higher-tier Division resets the limit to 0 and allows more Tokens to be obtained.
IMPORTANT: As Crate Mechanics change with this update, all Crates that were available in your hangar before the update will be converted - you will be able to open Battle and Victory as if you had enough tokens for it.
Battle Token Booster
Battle Token Booster has been made available as well, once used it will double the Battle Tokens gained in Battles.
There are two types of Battle Token Boosters:
- Battle Token Booster for 1,000 Battle Tokens - allows to double 1,000 Battle Tokens gained in battles (you will receive 2,000 Battle Tokens);
- Battle Token Booster for 500 Battle Tokens - allows to double 500 Battle Tokens gained in battles (you will receive 1,000 Battle Tokens);
You can get Battle Token Boosters in the Shop, as a reward for level-up, as a reward in the new Loyalty Program.
IMPORTANT: Battle Token Boosters do not affect the overall limit for Battle Tokens.
