Ascend to ZERO changes
In this Quantum Community Report, we would like to not only highlight the community, but also share some cool news with you all!
Leaderboard Leaders
Last time, we mentioned that the the character that has been in the leaderboards the most is none other than Frost Moon Hacker, but she has been dethroned this time!
Since the last Quantum Community Report, the character that has been a leaderboard staple is none other than Golden Gunslinger, appearing a whopping 50 times!
While the highest level record of 492,770 has yet to be broken, the next highest was an extremely close level 491,496! So very close and we think it is possible!
Community Roundup
Last time we shared some community members who had made some content about Ascend to ZERO's open playtest! This time around as well, we founda few more that we think you guys will enjoy!
