Attention Mercenaries!
We just released our new update. This update does not only add your own spaceship to return to after grueling missions but also the first MMR suit, which will expand your possibilities to tackle our new seasonal leaderboards.
We know that everyone is looking forward to finally getting NFTs by climbing our leaderboards. For now, the leaderboards will give out in-game items, but you should keep your eyes open for community events to win some NFTs!
In addition, this update also adds some improvements as well as several Bug Fixes.
To introduce the new spaceship and unlock the MMR suit for everyone, we also need to reset the progress of all accounts. This also ensures that all players start on an equal ground for the next leaderboard seasons! Of course, you will not lose your NFTs, just your in-game progress and in-game items.
If you have any feedback, please let us know in our #game-feedback channel.
