- Here's a teaser for next week's Surge Defence System patch! - 10 June 2022
Hey everyone, We're going to be waiting to push the balance changes and Trooper and Map rotations until next Friday when we'll be pushing the Domination Surge Defences Patch! This is the new map The Military Base with the Surge Defence System maxed out around B point! As a team increases a point's Surge Value, up to the a max of 50, they fortify defences around it. The defences always appear at 30/40/50 surge values, but depending on the map and point a different combination of Energy Walls and Light and Heavy Mortars appear. They only block or damage attacking team, and while the defences can be healed they don’t regen health. Be careful to keep them up though as once they’re destroyed, they’re gone until the point is neutralised and brought back to the corresponding Surge value. Next week will also come with an AI overhaul for Domination, along with a revamp of the main menu to fit in…

Hey all, we’ve got a little announcement ahead of the patch this Friday (tomorrow). As we wade through Early Access and towards full launch, we’ve decided to retire future purchases of the Super Pack. We’d like to give a massive thanks to everyone in the community who picked it up, and assure those of you who have it that we will continue to support those purchases and you will continue to get Troopers as they are released. For us, the Super Pack was something special for our early players to reward them for starting the Super Squad community, sticking with us, and providing us with feedback, laughs, and copious bug reports! The Super Pack will be removed from our in-game store on Friday the 29th of April, but will remain available for purchase on Epic and Steam until the end of the 13th of may.
