TL;DRT3 Mech: Valkyr2 new T3 Ballistic weapons: Hammerhead & Buckshot CannonValkyrThe Valkyr has joined the test field: a new high-mobility mech built for prototype weapon trials under live combat conditions.

TL;DRT3 Hover: the GoblinT1 Walker: CS-Gunner3 new weapons: RC-Large, Mini Jet, Rocket BoosterGoblinThe first T3 vehicle for the Dept. of Science. Officially designated with an acronym so long nobody bothers, the platform is better known as the Goblin.Originally built as a mobile Rail Cannon carrier for long-range fire support, trials showed the chassis could survive closer work than expected. Later batches were up-armored and up-gunned, shifting the Goblin into a front-line heavy weapons role.CS-GunnerAn attempt to preserve infantry effectiveness in the age of combined mech warfare.The CS-Gunner has proven especially effective in urban incursions: small enough to weave through buildings while maintaining the firepower to deal with any soft targets within.New WeaponsRC-Large: A Large T3 Rail Cannon. Rushed into service by the UEE. It prioritizes decisive shots over efficiency, user safe…
- Patch 0.3.0.3 - 12 March 2026
It appears that the new Haven forces were a bit too enthusiastic about joining the fight. While I appreciate the energy, it was a bit much. Enemy Changes Haven Changes Enforcers spawn a bit less often and now also drop Plasteel. Armed Response now spawns less often and begins appearing 1 threat level later. Increased RIOT Plasteel reward Cruiser now drops Plasteel Reinforcement System Changes More time is now allowed between reinforcement waves, giving players more breathing room. A stricter cap is now enforced on wave spawn locations. For example, in the Field Research mission, you should now see a maximum of about 2 active reinforcement wave points at any given time. The system is now stricter about preventing reinforcements from spawning too close to the player. Balance Changes RG-Buzzsaw Magazine size: 250 > 400 Damage: 7 > 6 RG-1 Reload Time: 3 > 2 Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where mo…
