Drones are combat units that hover around your robot, providing it with different kinds of support. You can deploy drones with your robot, using the same power cells that are spent on active modules. Unlike pilots and modules, drones aren't tied to particular robots — you can select them on the deployment screen before going into battle.
Balance Update:
Meta: Currently, the meta is dominated by close combat burst builds — “get close, kill fast, retreat” is the most prominent tactic by far. We want to give more space for other styles of play: snipers, sustained-damage builds and supports should have their opportunities to contribute to the fight as well.
Buff or Nerf:
Ravana
Durability: ↓ 10%
Ability duration: ↓ 1 sec
Ability cooldown: 14 → 15 sec

FEBRUARY 11, 2020
Right now
Graphics and performance update
For 5.7 we've done a huge behind-the-scenes rework of technical part of the game.
As a result, you might notice less battery consumption, less freezes and performance drops — and, as a bonus, better visuals on newer devices. And, hopefully, less cases when your device gets too hot to hold in your hands.
Paint jobs got cheaper
We took a look at all the paint jobs we have in the game and noticed that the costs of many of them just don't make sense. Now most of them became cheaper, some drastically so. Some of them even require silver instead of gold.
Sneak peek: Update 5.8
Update 5.8 is planned for the last week of February. See offical post for more info

New Legendary Pilot: Thomas Mindread (Leech)
Cosmetic map tweaks: as we're getting ready for the Titans (check this video for a quick overview on them), maps have received some cosmetic tweaks to accommodate for the presence of those robots.
Details: Rocket launchers that can freeze enemy robots after landing a certain number of rockets. Once the effect triggers, the target’s movement speed gets drastically reduced and its armor gets more fragile, causing a robot to receive more damage from all sources. By upgrading the weapons you increase their damage and reduce the number of rockets you need to land before triggering the effect. The effect’s strength remains the same across all levels.
Robots:
Special edition robots (Eldritch Ares, Imperial Hades, Ancient Tyr, etc.) now have 5% extra durability to compensate for their inability to use Legendary paint jobs
Other:
Fixed an issue that caused Phantom to clip through certain buildings after teleporting
Fixed a glitch that sometimes sent you into space instead of showing you a paint job selection screen
Fixed an issue causing Ancient Tyr's stats to differ from regular Tyr's

JULY 27, 2015
What's New
Additional improvements to the game balance.
Fixed the incorrect error message after connection drops.
Other improvements and fixes.
Weapon changes
Due to the necessity of the additional improvements to the game balance the characteristics of some weapons have been reconsidered:
Previously, the damage from guns and lasers decreased at longer distances. Now these weapons deal the same damage regardless of the distance to the target.
Laser guns working principle.
The way Gekko and Zeus deal damage has changed. Now they deal maximum damage regardless of how many lasers are installed on a robot.
Aiming.
Aiming distance increased to 1,100m for all robots.
The main reason of these changes is the robots’ unusual set of hardpoints and the lack of efficiency comparing to other robots from the same category.
Daily tasks
Now you are able to complete daily tasks. The successful accomplishment of each task will bring you some Gold. The prize depends on the task’s difficulty level.
Due to the new daily tasks the prizes have been changed for getting the following medals:
The map was created on an improved game engine Unity 5. The new version helped us add new smoother graphics, make the game more realistic and reconsider some other visual aspects.
A lot of attention was paid to the terrain features of the map. Recently we were receiving a lot of requests from you guys to make something less about capturing beacons and more about fighting. This led us to the creation of the first map oriented toward intense fighting.
Game Center is no longer obligatory for the usual game, however it is still required if you want to play with friends or to save your progress when you switch between devices.
Sudden death when the internet connection is lost.
The damage of Aphid at level 1 was erroneously understated. Now it will be 1168.
The speed of robots will be shown now more accurately.
Balance:
Due to the speed revision, almost all robots were slightly modified. Changes of more than 3% are described below.
New homing missile system for close combat(~300m) with high trajectory of approach, which allows you to attack enemies hiding behind the obstacles (especially the big ones). High-speed targets are pretty hard to hit, though.
Prototypes of the enforced basic weapons: twin-turret Punisher Mk2 and twin-turret Molot Mk2. Both require a medium weapon slot (new weapon slot type).
Cossack wields a medium weapon slot. Light and medium weapons can be equipped.
New robot – Boa. Medium class. Faction – Germany. Slots: 1 heavy, 1 medium. Pretty hard to destroy (Gl. Patton-alike) and high speed.
Several buildings on the location will receive an additional floor, which making it impossible to use them as Natasha sniper positions.
And the last one. Now you can get 5,000 Silver for point capture. After update you will get 10 Gold for it.
