v1.9.0 - Boss Battles!
FEATURE A fearsome new enemy has been added to the game: leviathans! A leviathan can spawn randomly anywhere in the world and bring with it death and destruction. However, if you team up with some friends, you just might be able to defeat it before it goes back into hiding. Those that successfully defeat a leviathan will receive rewards based on how much they individually contributed to its defeat. These prizes can include exclusive exocraft parts that can only be found in leviathan's dropped core.
FEATURE A new location has been added to both Beacon Bay and Eclipse Harbor: the Offering Well! This is a mysterious formation that reaches deep into the depths of the planet. Ancient natives believed these wells had mystical powers, and indeed, making offerings can lead to a leviathan being awakened! Other rewards can be found from offerings including parts, drones, XP, gems, credits and more!
FEATURE 16 new exclusive parts are available as possible rewards from defeating leviathans (they share some of the same alien technology as well).
FEATURE Added a new leaderboard tracking the number of leviathans defeated.
FEATURE New special power-ups have been added into crates that will spawn while in a team race. These power-ups can impact everyone on your own team or the team you are facing.
