Up to your ears in lava!

The hotter, the better? If you agree, travel forth to conquer vast expanses of lava and fight terrible monsters in the new missions! Don’t expect it to be an easy task: those abandoned bases on a white-hot planet are dangerous enough you risk stay there as a pile of steaming flesh.

New monsters

Hear that sound? Muffled growls and screeching of claws? That’s our new monsters, ready to disembowel you, just say the word! No? Then get ready for a hard fight.

• Suicide bot
  A crazy product of mutations and bioengineering: all it wants is to explode and kill as many mercs as it can!
• Golem
  Its body is stone and lava: not an easy combination to destroy! It will turn you to ashes or a bloody pancake with a great deal of indifference.
• Wolf
  A biomechanical wolf is much more vicious than a normal wolf. It is also much harder to kill because of its mechanical parts. My, what sharp teeth you have!
• Cryo-droid
  Tiny but nasty, this droid will freeze the enemies closest to it. That means you.
• Stundroid
  How can such a small robot be such a bother? It fires, it stuns, it is everywhere at once!
• Battle Drone
  Make sure to not let it break out its machine gun, or it will quickly morph from a tiny droid to a death machine!
• Hunter
  A true horror of the night. Surrounded by shadows and almost impossibly fast, it can become a source of nightmares for anyone who met it. Don’t worry: no one has ever survived such an encounter anyway.
• Snarl Shaman
  You thought the monsters couldn’t heal themselves? They can now! This snarl found a biocryogenic staff and heals itself and its monster clanmates with abandon!
• Spikepelt
  If porcupines turned into monsters, they would definitely be spikepelts. Thousands of deadly quills - now that is an arsenal fit for a real monster!
• Beetle
  Chitin, mandibles, venom, chirrups and clicking noises. This beetle has evolved all the best qualities of alien fauna. Its main trait is the desire to get under your skin… and it you from the inside!
• Zombie
  These ones are too cool to eat brains. They probably kill you because they resent your humanity. Or maybe because of loneliness, since you will become one of them after a single bite!
• Toxispore
  Toxic and carnivorous. Definitely not the flower to give your date.
• Detonating Fly
  If you hear its distinctive buzz it’s time to run as fast as you can. It explodes!
• Small Spider
  Much more dangerous than Big Spiders when there is a whole cluster of them. There usually is.
• Raptor
  It’s not about its small paws. It’s all about its enormous fanged maw, to better tear its victims apart.
• Hound
  A monstrous creature from the very depths of lava planets. If you manage to survive its claws, you’ll be incinerated by the fireballs it throws.

Wave after wave!

You think you’re so great at kiting the monsters and killing them from a safe distance? You have a new challenge ahead: the monsters are coming at you in waves, and there’s nowhere to run! The new system of gateways will not let you get out until you’ve killed all monsters! This is going to really prove how good you are in action!

Colonel Wolf

A quiet planet, the rapid fire of a machine gun, explosions. Something’s missing. That’s right! Introducing a guy built like a brick house who’s going to yell at all of you wimps. Colonel Wolf just loves to yell at people who still listen to him, and his sense of humor will have you grinding your teeth!

Bug fixes and mission difficulty

We corrected all the previously reported bugs, as well as reworked difficulty levels for missions. Don’t even think you will be able to clear a difficult mission without sufficient skills, equipment and a bit of luck!

New UI

New missions screen - it’s time to explore different planets. Or, rather, it’s time to destroy everything alive on those planets!
This is a planet in the middle of nowhere. All we know about it is the fact that once upon a time it housed an intergalactic prison for all miscreants, and especially those who think they are miscreant BOSSES. Predictably, they have all broken out of prison. Not quite as predictably, it turns out they are difficult to kill. This is going to be a hard job: we mark heightened activity of yet another Boss every day!
Being the best mercenary out there would warm the cockles of anyone’s heart. That sweet, sweet feeling of superiority. Now more user-friendly, intuitive, and more importantly, clear for everyone: the best players are at the very top of the list!

Tired of waiting for your reward? Soon you will receive the long-awaited league chests. Tear it apart to get a well-deserved reward! Next season!

Weapon overhaul

Weapons have stopped being just boxes that fire lasers or missiles. We are introducing LEGENDARY weapons. Their stats and power depend on their rarity. Now a weapon will truly become an important addition to your arsenal!

No more gadget energy

We have thought long and hard about it, and in the end decided that we will no longer support energy for gadgets. This will remove any energy restrictions enabling you to fight with your favorite gadget! The players who have had a gadget before this update will be able to use it with no energy now. The players who have not had a gadget before this update will receive one based on their level.
