Hey there! That’s been a long time since the last patch, but we were not idle during this time and we have a lot of new stuff for you :) Many client upgrades (that you've asked before), community-made hero, some reworks and the RANKING MODE! Yes, you can go competitive with players all over the world. Shall we check who’s the best ?
NEW Content:
Cardinal Ranking - Mix of PvP and PvE Rankings with World Leaderboards. Every Day during Happy Hours you will have the opportunity to face the strongest champions of Bloody Efforts and climb in the leaderboards straight to the top! (Some unique Rewards are waiting as well)
Bishops - mighty custom Apostles that may use even 70 Build Points (50 Points for normal Apostles). Bishops can be unlocked in Cardinal Ranking.
Community-made Hero: Dark Matter (aka Mr. Mountain) emerged to sow confusion and weaken enemy lines, along with being the toughest character in Bloody Efforts. The designer of Dark Matter is one of our players SenSequ, whose willingness to find the most broken builds repeatedly made itself felt during all our games. The character charmed me with his very original style of play and I think he will be a great addition to the Hero Pool. Weekly Promotion: Get Hero for FREE on Official Discord.
Shooters REWORK - We wanted to make more diversity in shooting and make it more fun for all players to use Shooters.
