[img=https://www.blocknload.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2.7UpdateApril2016_616x353.jpg] Version 2.7 brings the eagerly anticipated Block skins to the Block N Load Arenas along with an overhauled progression system to go with it. Other highlights include: • Separate Ranked Beta mode. • New Hero progression rewards. • Changes to Roly and Tony's weapons.

Casual and Ranked Beta

Previously all players in Block N Load were entered in to one mode “Classic” which mixed together players who wanted a heavily competitive experience, and those who wanted to play without quite so much pressure. We’ve split Classic into two modes, both of which have their own set of rules, which we'll experiment with over the course of the Beta. We'll keep you posted as to any changes as we go. Ranked will only be available at weekends initially. Check out the Play Screen Game Mode selector for dates and times in your region.

Gold Bar Rewards

Gold Bars awards now take in to account the length of the match, up to a cap.

Progression

[img=https://www.blocknload.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2.7Updateapril2016_680X284.png] We’ve made some quite significant changes to the Hero progression systems. Block Skins are back and you can get them by leveling up your heroes to 10 and 50 where you'll unlock block skins that can be used by any Hero that can take that Block into battle. We've also added more badges and titles for you to earn.

Heroes

Roly Poly Fat Fat Roly’s Booster system (her secondary weapon) and Hero Block have both had some significant changes made to them. Booster Vent Roly's secondary weapon's alt-fire now creates puddles of bubbling Toxic Goo trailing behind her. Use it to deny enemy access or help an escape. Toxic Waste When Roly’s Hero Block is detonated it too will coat the area around it with splodges of seething Toxic Goo. Toxic Goo Friendly goo is blue, while pink enemy Goo poisons and slows foes. Toxic Goo doesn’t hang around forever though - as enemy Heroes pass through it the Toxic Goo will be slowly used up, and eventually destroyed. Tony Turretto The way the shots from the Rivet Gun scatter has been changed. Previously the pellets from the Rivet Gun would form tight clusters. This often meant that you would either hit with all the pellets or you would miss all of them. The pellets from the Rivet Gun now scatter more randomly within its cone of fire. Additional Improvements and Fixes We’ve also been fixing some bugs and improving other areas of the game. Check out the Full Patch Notes for every little detail! P.S., if you managed to qualify for Bronze league in our previous league system, you'll have a sweet Sweet Science Promo skin waiting for you. And because clothes really do maketh the man, Sweet Science, the man himself, is on sale for 50% off the Platinum price until Monday, 5pm BST.
