PILOT NEW ROBOTS
Add two new Robots to your Hangar armed with unique skills sure to set the battlefield alight:
- Fenrir: Named after Odin’s bane, this Robot is just as deadly.Sacrifice half of Fenrir’s durability to gain increased speed and ferocity, and take advantage of its “repair vampirism” to restore both durability and armor for a percentage of damage dealt to enemies.
- Harpy: A harpy is the mythological personification of storm winds, and this Robot rages just as fiercely. Set fire to your foes with Harpy’s signature ability to ignite targets and deal damage over time.
POWER UP WITH NEW WEAPONS & ABILITIES
Boost your battle power with new weapons and abilities:
Weapons:
- Fowler: Soup up these shotguns for improved bullet spread.
- Lighter: Burn up your enemies with ferocious flame throwers.
Abilities:
- Blast Wave: Fling foes back and deal damage.
- Dazzle: Disrupt targeting systems and make aiming impossible for your opponent..
NEW FEATURES: SQUADS AND SMART PING
