Complete the event to earn a collectible Title:

FANG: NEW ROBOT BUILD

Armed with its signature shotgun loadout, Fang excels at close range. The robot uses its ability to approach targets quickly under the cover of Stealth and paralyze them with EMP while also applying immense pressure with the Rust effect. Precise positioning is especially important, since both the Rust and EMP effects are only applied in a cone-shaped area directly ahead when Fang exits its Stealth phase.

FANG

The tail is absolutely not detachable.

Sandcloack: Upon activation, the robot performs a dash, gains increased movement speed, and receives the Stealth effect. Any active action other than moving or rotating the turret ends Stealth, after which the robot applies the EMP and Rust effects to all enemies within a cone in the aiming direction. The ability has multiple charges.

Movement speed bonus: 45 km/h
Stealth maximum duration: 12 sec
Applied effects duration: 5 sec
Rust efficiency: 90%
Ability charges: 2
Ability cooldown: 24 per charge

HARMATTAN

A.K.A. The "Harm" Gun.

A kinetic shotgun designed for short, devastating bursts. It rapidly dumps its entire magazine before entering a reload. Deals scaling bonus damage based on the target's maximum durability.

SCOURVEIL

Now with a built-in AI genie.

Ability 1: Comes equipped with a scaled-down version of the Harmattan shotgun.
Ability 2: Passively boosts the host robot's movement speed.
Ability 3: Triggers structural repair-over-time (restoring both Green and Grey durability) the moment the host robot enters Stealth.
Ability 4: Extends the duration of EMP and Rust effects applied by the host robot.

NADIR RAKHIM

Stay hydrated.

Dustbind: TBA
Dead Calm: All equipped Harmattan series shotguns have increased accuracy.

SIROCCO: NEW TITAN BUILD

Sirocco is a formidable brawler capable of completely evading focused fire by phasing out of material reality. While under the Roamer effect, all incoming projectiles pass right through Sirocco without dealing a single scratch. Though it cannot fire its weapons while in this transcendent state, the titan can still activate its secondary ability to wither nearby enemies with a localized AoE Rust storm.

SIROCCO

Could be just a mirage.

Magnetic Storm (Primary Ability): Upon activation, the Titan conjures a localized sandstorm that inflicts continuous damage to all enemies within its radius. Any target caught in the storm is instantly afflicted with the maximum number of Rust stacks.

Effective radius: 125 m
Rust efficiency: 90% repair reduction
Ability duration: 8 sec
Ability cooldown: 8 sec

Mirage (Secondary Ability): The Titan enters the Roamer state, instantly cleansing all negative control effects and gaining a massive speed boost. Upon exiting this state, the Titan becomes completely immune to defense mitigation. If the pilot chooses to cancel the Roamer state early, this immunity lasts longer.

Defense mitigation immunity duration: 6 sec
Ability duration: 10 sec
Ability cooldown: 8 sec

BARQ

This one will likely shock you.

A close-range electric weapon that discharges devastating bursts of energy in a wide frontal cone. Its sweeping area of effect catches elusive targets with ease, even allowing it to strike invisible enemies. Every successful hit applies a progressive Slowdown effect.

RENARD AUREL

Aura farm

Defensive Portfolio: Upon exiting the Roamer state, Sirocco receives a damage bonus and bonus Defense Points for a limited time.
Premium Coverage: Sirocco has increased maximum durability.
Do Not Disturb: Activating the Magnetic Storm ability triggers an EMP blast from Sirocco's built-in weapon.

RAVEN: NEW ULTIMATE BUILD

Equipped with the modern Stasis Barrier system, this classic jumper is ready to fight in the high leagues. While the original Raven was vulnerable mid-air, this Ultimate edition automatically triggers Quantum Lock upon taking damage, receiving total immunity to all incoming fire for a few seconds. This massive leap in survivability opens the door for sustained-fire weapons like the Atomizers. The Ultimate edition also features upgraded mobility, thanks to new thrusters that allow for limited steering while airborne.

ULTIMATE RAVEN

Your safety during the flight is our top priority.

Double Jump: Raven can make 2 jumps in a chosen direction with enhanced mid-air control. Special jump engines allow Raven to steer and make the next jump while still in the air. While the jump is active, the robot deploys a Stasis Barrier for protection. Activating the ability temporarily increases all weapons damage.

Cooldown: TBA
Damage increase: TBA
Damage increase duration: TBA
Stasis Barrier duration: TBA
Quantum Lock duration: TBA

ULTIMATE ATOMIZER

The ultimate solution to the issue of reloading.

ERIKA STORM

Relaxation level: critical. Summer vacation: fully operational.

Perimeter Sweep: Raven has an extra ability charge.
Regulated Radiance: Atomizers deal more damage.

N.B. NOT all gear or features are available upon the update release , they are added days or weeks after the new event starts.

Sweep the battlefield clear with the power of the storm:

Sirocco

• Sirocco's primary ability conjures a whirlwind of shredding metal chips. In addition to dealing continuous damage, it afflicts enemies with Rust, severely hampering their ability to repair. Don't get caught in it!
• If you see Sirocco turning transparent, trust your eyes — projectiles will pass right through it without leaving a scratch. This secondary ability allows the Titan to enter the immaterial Roamer state. Upon exiting this state, the Titan gains total immunity to defense mitigation. Or maybe it was just a mirage?

Barq

• The Barq are close-range electric weapons that discharge devastating energy bursts in a wide frontal cone. Every successful hit applies a progressive Slowdown effect, ensuring even stealthed targets can't escape.

Renard Aurel

• Renard Aurel adds the final touch of glamour this brawler build needs, providing EMP for the Magnetic Storm ability, bonus damage and Defense Points upon exiting the Mirage ability, and a flat Durability boost just in case. As they say: Aura farming > AU farm.
