Elite Gear Has Arrived

Make Your Hero More Powerful!

SYNDICATE HIGH PRIORITY MESSAGE


Commander,


You can now strengthen your Base and Units by equipping your Hero with Elite Gear!


Just like the Gear you already know, Elite Gear grants an Offensive or Defensive Bonus to your Units. All pieces of Elite Gear are Class IV, meaning they improve Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Armor, and Aviation Units. They also have certain special benefits -


Additional Bonuses:


Upgrading pieces of Elite Gear beyond Level 5 will unlock an Additional Bonus with every upgrade Level. Additional Bonuses unlock randomly with equal probability and provide a 1% boost per Level. All Elite Gear can unlock Additional Bonuses in the following categories:


- Non-COBRA Unit Offense

- Non-COBRA Unit Defense

- Non-COBRA Unit Movement Speed

- Non-COBRA Unit Carrying Capacity

- COBRA Unit Offense

- COBRA Unit Defense

- COBRA Unit Movement Speed

- COBRA Unit Carrying Capacity

- Construction Speed

- Special Operative XP


Ammunition can also unlock Additional Bonuses in these categories:


- Base Defense

- Unit Training Speed


If the same Additional Bonus is unlocked more than once, the Bonuses it provides are added up.


Pieces of Elite Gear can also be downgraded using Downgraders, which can be obtained as Tournament Rewards and from certain Special Offers.


When you downgrade a piece of Elite Gear, its Level reverts to 5, and all Additional Bonuses it grants are lost. You can upgrade and downgrade pieces of Elite Gear as many times as you want to get the Additional Bonuses you need.


Set Bonuses:


All pieces of Elite Gear are also part of Sets that grant Set Bonuses. Set Bonuses do not depend on the Level of the Gear, but only on how many different pieces from a Set you have equipped your Hero with.


The Alpha Set is available now. It is made up of the following Items:


- Alpha Grenade

- Alpha Ammo Box

- Alpha Body Armor

- Alpha Stun Gun

- Alpha Battle Gloves

- Alpha Combat Helmet

- Alpha Biohazard Mask

- Alpha Rifle


Set Bonuses for the Alpha Set will grant you a certain number of AH-72 Thunderheads for free each day and, when you have equipped your Hero with at least 4 different pieces of Gear from the Set, your Offensive Aviation Units will receive a Bonus to their Offensive statistics. Note that in order to receive the free AH-72 Thunderheads on a particular day, you must play the game on that day.


Items from the Alpha Set can be found in two new kinds of Crates:


- Alpha Crates: these contain all Alpha Set Gear, except Ammunition

- Ammunition Crates: these only contain Ammunition that is part of Elite Gear Sets


Both Crates can be obtained as Tournament Rewards, and can be only opened with a Master Key Card (Universal).


Now, get moving and use this knowledge to dominate your enemies. Your Hero can now be made more powerful than ever before!
