The Tricksters Update is Live!

Seize the upper hand with stealth and cunning in the Tricksters update, now live in War Robots: Frontiers! Grab a Pioneer Pack to enter the fray in Early Access on PC via Steam and MGLauncher, available from wrfrontiers.com and Steam.

EXPAND YOUR ROBOT SQUAD

Add two new Robots to your Hangar, and utilise their unique tactics in battle.

  • Raven: Swift and deadly, Raven attacks with a signature ability that fires a volley of deadly projectiles.
  • Loki: Trick your opponents by deploying decoy holograms while also entering Stealth to gain the upper hand. 

POWER UP WITH NEW WEAPONS

Boost your firepower with three new weapons!
 

  • Scatter: Launch sonic attacks that can deal damage through solid objects at a certain distance.
  • Shocktrain: Fire precision lasers that deal damage to an extra target nearby after the initial hit.
  • Dragoon: Snipe your unsuspecting enemies with this energy-efficient heavy option.

TURN THE TIDE WITH NEW ABILITIES

Switch up the fight with new special abilities!

  • Blink: Instantly dash forward a short distance with lightning-fast speed, enabling you to escape enemy fire, or take the fight to your foe!
  • Passive Shield: Fortify your build with this absorbing ability, turning incoming damage into replenishment.

NEW MAP: MONT

Enter the fray in a brand-new arena on the new map: Mont! Brush up on our top tips for achieving victory:

  • The beacons near spawn points are easy-to-control, but success lies on the high ground.
  • Attempt to take the hill beacon early, then set up defences. 
  • When attacking and enemies are already at the beacon, you can attack the destructible structure to send it crashing down on enemies.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

As well as brand-new Robots, Weapons, and Map, the Tricksters update also comes fully stocked with QOL improvements.

  • All available languages now feature updated translations.
  • The Frame Rate Limit is now set to 60 FPS by default, helping to avoid overheating on certain GPUs (this can be adjusted within the game Settings).
  • The Store now features updated content and level rewards.
