Hey Gearheads! Happy Thursday. First thing we want to say a big Thank you! You have flooded my channels with screenshots. Which means starting Monday, be sure to check facebook, twitter, and the steam discussion forums for Screenshot of the day!
Here we have BlackFang surveying Port Oasis. Thanks for the submission! Also hopefully you have your calendars marked already. Because tomorrow is the first official play with the devs. It starts at 4pm EST and we hope to see you all there!
One thing worth mentioning is that our tomorrows Pre-release update will feature rebalanced gear locomotion stats. Light gears are now super fast and agile, while heavies like Grizzly and Spitting Cobra are much slower and clunkier. This is a first iteration of gear rebalancing, we haven’t had a chance to do any extensive playtests, so numbers are going to change, but the overall direction is there. Make sure to provide your feedback on the new gear handling in Discord. As always, we hope you have a great day and come out tomorrow and join us! Happy Fragging Gearheads!

The world of Heavy Gear Assault is unforgiving — but so is your lust for glory. As a pilot on the distant planet Terra Nova, you play the high-stakes game of competitive Gear Dueling. You earn fame and fortune by making a name for yourself on the arena floor. You stand out from the crowd by customizing the look and style of your Gear. You manage corporate sponsors, hire a support staff and fine-tune your Gear's performance in the Gear Bay. You rise to the top, claim your position — and with every cannon shell left in your magazines, you refuse to let go.

Heavy Gear Assault puts you in control of a multi-ton, humanoid war machine better known as a Gear. The peak of Terra Novan engineering, Gears feature a Rotary V-Engine, an advanced, compact and highly efficient internal combustion engine. For faster speeds, Gears are equipped with a Secondary Movement System (SMS) in the form of either wheels or treads under their feet. Armored with advanced composites and loaded with an assortment of weapons, Gears are the most advanced weapon platform available on Terra Nova.

It is up to you to manage and maintain your Gears on the arena floor and off. Customize, upgrade, and equip yours Gears exactly how you like. In combat, you’ll need to balance hydraulic and electric power to keep your Gear moving. Just remember, whether you eviscerate your enemy with relentless firepower or put a precision VibroKatana blade in their back, be sure to do it with style. After all, that's what your fans paid to see.
