NEW CONTENT
"POLTERGEIST" SERIES
“Poltergeist” is a new weapon series, which combines overwhelming power of other weapons and unique design, inspired by the Halloween atmosphere and its most popular symbols. Amazing power of these weapons can both frighten your enemies and satisfy your sense of beauty with sparkling elements on the barrel. Apart from weapon series there are weapon skins of the same style.
You can land killing blows with the “Poltergeist“ series weapons and get unique achievements: a custom stripe, a badge and a mark.
You can get the "Poltergeist" items in the festive mini-game that will soon become available.
"RED SAND" MAP
We are glad to present you the new seasonal map for the "Free for All" mode! This time the Red planet will become the scene of combat featuring a low gravity environment and Martian colonist settlements that you could have contemplated while completing the Special Operation "Mars". It is not possible to imagine Mars without SEDs, meaning that "Red Sand" will be available only for robots outfitted with the Martian ARCUS equipment.
"Red Sand" offers a completely new gaming experience and an opportunity to have lots of fun!
