Game Update Number 2[]

  • The hover length bonus (how high it floats above the ground) obtained from the rival and racer chassis has been removed. It still retains its hover power bonus (how springy the hover mechanic is, more power adds stability).

  • Made adjustments to the Magrider so that combining strafe and forward velocity no longer provides an advantage to hill climbing

September 4, 2015 Update[]

October 24, 2016 Update[]

    • Aphelion VEX-4 CoF min from 0.85 to 0.7
    • Aphelion VEX-4 CoF max from 0.85 to 1
    • Aphelion VEX-4 CoF recovery rate from 10 to 20

November 18, 2016 Hotfix[]

  • Bugfix: Magrider Prototype-B Plating should no longer show in first person view.

February 2, 2017 Update[]

  • Vehicle third person cameras have been adjusted.
    • Dev Note: Opened the viewing angles on most vehicle cameras for drivers to allow for increased awareness in third person.
  • G30 Walker
    • Pitch down limit from 0 to 5
      • Dev Note: Adjusting the pitch down limits on Ranger and Walker helps reduce the situations you’ll find a vehicle on your horizon and unable to be damaged. This is more a quality of life adjustment than anything else, though Walker receives at least a bit more viability against infantry at longer distances.

June 14, 2017 Hotfix[]

  • Ikanam’s vehicle bay has been revamped, and now accounts for Magrider’s thickness.

September 26, 2017 Update[]

Empire Specific Anti-Infantry Secondary Weapons (MBT, Harasser, Sunderer, ANT, Flash)[]

The C85 Canister (NC Vanguard/Harasser), Proton II PPA (VS Magrider/Harasser), and P525 Marauder (TR Prowler/Harasser), are now capable of dealing light damage to heavily armored vehicles, allowing for more versatility on those platforms.

  • Fixed floating model pieces on Magrider’s main cannon.
  • Fixed typos in the Magrider's Magburn ability.

Flanker Armor (Lightning, MBT)[]

  • Lightning and MBT Armors have been refunded, and a new “Flanker Armor” has been added.

Flanker Armor increases resistance to C4, ensuring that two bricks will not be able to kill a Main Battle Tank.

Lightnings will still be destroyed with two well-placed bricks, but the damage of each brick is significantly reduced, complementing the small size and maneuverability of the platform.

November 22, 2017 Hotfix[]

  • Magrider Gold Aero Trim is no longer broken.

December 13, 2017 Hotfix[]

Lightning and Main Battle Tank adjustments[]

Dev Note: The changes below address some of the Harasser's exaggerated survivability post CAI, as well as give AP a more stand-out place against other vehicles, while reducing the appeal of HESH as an all-rounder main cannon. Additional changes have been made to sharpen the edge on various weapons that were underperforming (or overperforming) at their intended role.

  • Supernova FPC (Magrider)
    • Direct damage from 700 to 750
    • Dev Note: Like with the Vanguard, this moves Sunderer and MBT down one shot to kill, from 8 to 7.
  • Supernova VPC (Magrider)
    • Blast damage from 1050 to 800
    • Dev Note: We've been seeing the Magrider have far and away more infantry kills than any other HESH equivalent, and feel that that's mainly due to its maneuverability at ranges infantry would normally be able to keep tanks at bay. We're removing the one-shot splash kill within 1 meter, while still retaining the highest splash damage of the Magrider's main cannons.

November 13, 2018 Update[]

  • Magrider's base movement speed has been increased by roughly 5 to 10 kph depending on movement angles and chassis options.

November 15, 2018 Update[]

  • Magrider receives its intended speed increase as mentioned in the last update.

March 20, 2019 Update[]

  • Tank Shell resistance (type 7) from 0 to -50
  • Rear armor from -100 to -50
  • Dev Note: While the original goal of increasing survivability for more casual or inexperienced players was well intentioned, tank versus tank combat became too much of a slugfest to be enjoyable for veterans. This change is a major swing back toward shorter tank versus tank time to kill values to bring back some of the tense, fast-paced gameplay (as well as some of the frustration that gameplay caused.) We'll continue to pursue avenues for easing less experienced players into the tank game, but it will no longer come at the cost of this style of gameplay.

August 28, 2019 Update[]

  • Magburner (Utility Slot)
    • Rank 1 Magburner has been integrated by default, and Magburner's skill line has become a passive part of the vehicle instead of living in the utility slot.
    • Added an additional rank to the Magburner skill line.
    • Moved the cost of each tier up a rank, as the first tier is now free. Costs remain the same overall.
    • Adjusted the regeneration rates of Magburner for better scaling at lower cost ranges.
    • Fuel tank recharge to full from 35/30/25/20 to 35(default)/28/25/22/20
    • Fixed an issue where framerates would drop drastically while trying to activate Magburner without an appropriate amount of energy.

    • Rank 3: 28 second cooldown.
    • Rank 4: 25 second cooldown.
  • Multi-directional Exhaust (Defensive Slot)
    • Added new "Multi-directional Exhaust" defensive slot item that further reduces the time to recharge Magburner, and allows for limited horizontal strafe capabilities while Magburner is active.
    • Rank 1: Increases Magburner regeneration rate by 15%.
    • Rank 2: Increases Magburner regeneration rate by 23%.
    • Rank 3: Increases Magburner regeneration rate by 27%.
    • Rank 4: Increases Magburner regeneration rate by 30%.

September 15, 2021 Update[]

  • Default Utility and Defense
  • Magrider
    • Resist type 4(Heavy Machine Guns) reduced from 87 to 80 for the ANT, Chimera, Lightning, Vanguard, Prowler, Magrider, and Sunderer.
    • Magriders/Harassers with the PPA equipped will no longer see the Sunderer's ammo dispenser FX on their vehicle.
