That's not all!

This patch includes some fixes for Campaign mode plus a few additions to the Loadout Editor and a balance change to the Rush arcade mode. Loadouts

  • Added Random button to the Loadout Editor. This will create a Random Loadout and Build Order based on your current unlocked Items.

  • Added Export button. Pressing this will copy a text code for the current loadout to the clipboard that you can share.

  • Added Import button. Opens a screen where you can enter Loadout codes generated from the Export feature. You can only import loadouts you have the items unlocked for.

  • Unlocking an Item in the Loadout Editor now immediately equips it.

Arcade

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: Chassis Items weren't being unlocked correctly in Campaign.

  • Fixed: Chassis Descriptions weren't formatted correctly.

  • Fixed: Arena Derez animation correctly plays now.
