addedSBM Commentary: Arriving just in time for Bitmas 2019... Battle Ball is here in our biggest update yet! With a game mode like this, pairing it up with Squad Chat is critical to your team's success. We encourage all of you Pilots to discover new competitive strategies in all our current arenas! Remember, team work is everything in this mode... don't forget to Pass, Shoot (from far away if you're good enough!) and Dunk the Battle Ball! Do you know a goalie with a golden glove? Guard that goal carefully and see you in the arena!
addedBattle Ball!Play Battle Ball, our newest strategic game mode, in 3v3 or 4v4 Squads! - Work together closely to Shoot, Pass, Intercept and even Dunk the Battle Ball (if you dare!) - Use each map's unique terrain for tricky 'bounce' and 'bank' skill shots - Each team's power hoop is located on opposite ends of each map—defend them wisely! (No, you can't score in your own goal!) - Picking up the Battle Ball instantly replaces your secondary and functions similarly to a frag grenade (Hold-Release; longer Hold for maximum range and throw velocity) - Score 3 Goals OR have the most goals in 3 minutes to win! - Tied scores initiate a one minute overtime! - Dropping the Battle Ball for more than 5s destabilizes its core causing a massively deadly explosion! - The Battle Ball respawns in 10s after every Goal or Battle Ball explosion - NEW Battle Ball Visual and Sound FX! SBM Commentary: The Battle Ball can pass through vines and light bridges on Temple, Moon and Snow Base and we CERTAINLY had an explosive time trying some of these strats! Pro Tip: The Battle Ball remembers "last touch" characteristics, so if you're going for the dunk and get blown to bits in the right direction you may yet score a GOOOAL!
addedSquad ChatStart a Squad Chat by creating a squad or joining another Pilot's squad in the home screen! - Squad Chat channel and alerts appear in the home screen (upper left!) - Squad Chat history is preserved with time stamp information (as long as the squad exists) - Use Emojis with Squad Chat! SBM Commentary: Squad Chat is finally here! We encourage all of our Pilots to socialize and form strategies between games, especially as we develop even more competitive game modes!
addedFeature UpdatesNEW Ball Cam! Spectators can follow the action and lock in on the Battle Ball "Ball Cam" - NEW Battle Ball Game Mode in-game XP to count towards Ultimate charge - NEW "Per Mode" Scoreboards that contain specific information for Team Deathmatch, Fuel Frenzy, Battle Ball and future game modes! - NEW XP Bonuses towards leveling up your Pilots! - First Win of the Day - Squad Bonus - Create your own Battle Ball matches and tournaments in Custom Matches - Emojis are now available to use at the End of Round screen - (Mobile) New "How to Play" static tutorial during boot-up and home screen - Additional language support for German, French and Italian (more options and languages coming soon) - Improved and polished various Map and Pilot Visual FX
