Hello, Gun Rise fans! This month the team focused on polishing and balancing the game to create the best experience possible. We’ve gone back to the early game districts and made some major changes as well as rebalanced the starting line-up of heroes. Also, look out for the new dual-wielding hero, Savage!
Here’s what’s new in Gun Rise 0.7:
District Updates
We’ve gone back to the early Campaign districts and done a major overhaul of all the missions. We feel the new missions are more focused and exciting than before. If you’ve already played through these missions, we hope you try them again! If you are new to Gun Rise, there are some fun missions waiting for you.
PvP Update
We’ve adjusted the matchmaker to achieve a better balance between team power and PVP Points. This will help make matches at higher ranks more rewarding and less punishing.
This is a result of your feedback. We’re still planning much bigger changes in the near future. We’ll share more of what our plans for that are in a couple weeks!
Co-op Raids
We now display your wins remaining on the match results screen and you can refresh those wins right from that screen. Additionally, we’ve put a lot of extra work into making it clearer when an invite has been sent out, including a notification! So make sure you have notifications enabled to never miss a match!
New Hero, Savage
A dual-wielding machine gunner. Lay down overwhelming suppressing fire and lock down large avenues of the battlefield! Savage will be available as part of an upcoming special event. Look for more information soon!
