The following changes & fixes are being applied in the Thursday, August 28th, at 10 AM PDT update.
[Skirmish]
Earn the next Arc I Hero, Orpheus, the Corpus Siren Hero in this month’s Skirmish, and use it to dominate in the upcoming monthly Event. Orpheus never had a lot of friends growing up, as the son of a Corpus exec. His family had money, but was short on connection. His social reclusion allowed him to excel at his work, climbing the ranks of Corpus like his father did. As the new supervisor of the dronecraft department, he finds it easier to open up to these silent compatriots than to real humans. He might not be the person you want to talk to at a party, but he is certainly the person you want by your side on the battlefield.
We’ve expanded the Skirmish roster to include the TWO most recent seasons! Use your Goliath, Crozier, Bombard and Pioneer units and their Heroes, the Warrior, and the Metatron, against Eastern Horde to play through the Recruit set or the Officer set to earn skirmish XP. Sets can be completed in any order and pay out a bonus XP Cache. The Officer set will test your might but will pay out more XP than the Recruit set. Choose the set that best fits your power level. You can hit the targets multiple times, and wins will count towards future set completions, so you won't be penalized for hitting a target again!
Starts: August 29th at 10 AM PDT
Ends: September 1st at 10 AM PDT
Store Closes: September 2nd at 10 AM PDT
The Verkraft board of directors have voted for more thorium mining. Normally the strongest proponent of increased drilling, Kruger has seen troubling trends happening. Thorium resonating on its own, listening to… something. He hasn’t been able to convince the board, so he has reached out to Corpus. He is begging them to stop the Verkraft forces, but is this a trap, or an honest request?
In Operation: Echoes, the next Arc I unit, the Siren, sings the song of war, and you can earn it in the Event Store and Mission Track. Orpheus knew his drone tech was too good to keep to himself, so he selected his most loyal troops and created the Sirens. Equipped with multiple drones to distract foes, the Sirens bring the noise. It spawns 2 Ground Drones, At Level 10 spawns 2 additional Air Drones, and at Level 20 the Ground Drones Shoot at Infantry and Vehicles, and the Air Drones Shoot at Aircraft. You’ll also be able to unlock its Tech, Harmonic Shielding, Claxon Mesh, Dumb Fire, Precision Fire, and MotionFreeze Rounds!
Starts: September 4th at 10 AM PDT

Store Closes: September 11th at 10 AM PDT
[Supply Store Token]
When the Tokens for the Supply Store were originally created, they were set to expire after 7 days since they only going to be used during the Main Event. Now that we have Supply Token Bases on the map at all times, the expiration actually hurts players since you could lose the Tokens you earned.
With this release we’ve removed the expiration time on the Tokens, and there will now be a cap of 600 Tokens a player can hold at once. This will allow you to earn Tokens, but not to fear you’ll lose any remainder balance you have from week to week.
General Performance Improvements
The Supply Store was not correctly awarding Goliaths
The Legendary Scorcher was losing its Level 10 Talent at Level 20
Pilum and its Tech were showing a cap of 21 when it should have been 20
Shadow Ops was not awarding Tech for the Crozier past 20 redemptions when it should have been 24
The Finish Now cost for units was not calculating correctly
