Visibility Conditions Added To The Event System
Hello Robocrafters!
We hope that you have been enjoying the most recent update! Today we have launched a hot fix which introduces the new visibility conditions to the game. You can read more about this particular feature from the post below:
Alongside this addition, we are also making one more change.
We will be removing Gliese Lake from the map rotation for BA. We noticed that one of the teams was able to attack the other team from the safety of their own base, and this causes some further issues to balancing, giving one team an unfair advantage over the other team.
However, Gliese Lake will still be present in the map rotation for Team Death Match and Elimination.
Thank you everyone who has been playing the game, we hope you enjoy the new visibility conditions!

Plan, Adapt, Eliminate Now Live!
Hello Robocrafters
We have now released the latest update “Plan, Adapt, Eliminate” to Robocraft!
This update contains the following core highlights
Event system added
Gravity added to each of the three planets
Elimination game mode added with 10 vs 10
Weapon balance changes
We did come across a few issues with our visibility condition for the event system. This meant that the fog was not behaving as expected. Certain parts could still be visible through even the thickest fog and lock on weapons were still able to target players through the fog. We were considering delaying this update once more to fix these issues. However as we had already delayed this build once and understand there is a lot of demand to play Elimination, we have decided to force our event system to always select “Clear skies” for all maps for now.
At 10:00Am UTC+1 on 17th of May 2019 we will be entering maintenance to implement a hot fix for the visibility conditions. This will last for approximately one hour
Additionally, we are aware that players are experiencing some server issues, the team responsible for the server are still working on these issues. I’d like to thank everyone who has reported the problems officially, sent output logs and screenshots. We really do hope that this can be resolved soon.
Event System
You’ll be told of the current map, game mode and its conditions BEFORE you even choose to join a game. This means you can select an appropriate robot for the situation.
The event viewer will display the following conditions
Map Name
Game Mode
Gravity
Visibility conditions (Currently set to clear at all times)
Auto healing active or disabled
Air density
The event system will refresh every hour at random so you have enough time to make adjustments to your robots or select one robot from your garage that will work with the current event conditions.
Elimination Returns!
A highly requested game mode returns to Robocraft! When Elimination is selected from the event system, this game mode will come with a few other conditions which are not available in any other game mode.
The team size will increase to ten
Auto healing will be disabled
There will be no respawns
We will be keeping an eye on the performance of this game mode over the coming days. This includes any performance drops or even if there are more active players while this game mode is active. We know a lot of you have been really looking forward to playing this game mode and I hope you all enjoy it!
