Freejam is pleased to announce that Epic Loot, the biggest expansion to date for the free-to-play creative robot engineering game Robocraft, will launch later today.
Epic Loot is one giant step forward for Robocraft as it progresses towards moving out of Early Access and into full-scale launch later this year. The expansion features a top-to-bottom transformation of Robocraft’s progression system, wide-ranging weapon rework and a number of changes which streamline the overall experience.
A top line summary of the expansion is below:
· New Loot System: Players can earn item-granting Salvage Crates (Rusted, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Protonium) for taking part in online matches against others and in single-player against bots with drop rates for Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary items dependent on crate calibre. Better performance in-game equals better crates, and number of items per crate is dependent on player activity. Packs of Protonium crates can also be purchased for real money, with pricing starting at 12 Protonium Salvage Crates for £3.99 GBP / $4.99 USD.
· Forge and Recycle with Robits: Users can take any cube they don’t want and recycle it into a new economy element dubbed ‘Robits’. They can then use that currency to forge new weapons, cubes or traversal options of their choosing and access the Community Robot Factory (CRF) to acquire new robots. Robits also function as a reward for players uploading their designs to the CRF for others to forge.
· Weapon Rework: The Tech Tree has been removed from Robocraft, allowing all weapons which drop from crates to be useable by all players regardless of level. Additionally, all 31 weapons in the game have been balanced so that they are viable and valuable all the way through the skill curve.
· Balances and other tweaks: The real money currency Galaxy Cash has been removed from Robocraft. Going forward Robocraft will only use real money values in-game rather than an in-universe facsimile in order to ensure that players know exactly how much money they are spending. Additionally, this update also includes a myriad of tweaks including a buff to armour components and a new Inventory Forge Cost option for the CRF which adjusts the prices of robots based on how many cubes from the desired design are resting in a player’s inventory.
Earlier this month, the invisibility-granting Ghost module and the shotgun-like Ion Distorter was added to Robocraft as part of the ‘Ghosts in the Machine’ update and ‘Epic Loot’ brings even more meaningful changes to the increasingly popular PC-exclusive title.
“All of us here at Freejam would like to send a huge thank you to all the [Robo]Crafters out there who have stayed with us during Robocraft’s many balance changes and mechanic reworks of the past,” explained Freejam CEO and Robocraft Game Director, Mark Simmons.
“This final large balance change and new progression system is a huge leap towards Robocraft moving into Beta and out of Early Access later this year.”
