Release 1.0.181.5: Battle Pass Boost, Party Fixes & Shield Update

💪 Another week, another massive release from the Faraway team 💪

⏫ Players can now see Battle Pass Boost per match

We launched the first NFT battle pass in the history of gaming. One of the many benefits of owning our Premium Collection heroes is that ownership gives players a boost in blasting through the battle pass and unlocking rewards. While we’ve been tracking the boost amount since the beginning of Season 1, the boost amount has not been made visible to players via the game yet.

How much Battle Pass Boost will I get?

• Tier 1: 30% boost for holders of 5+ Season 1 Premium Drop NFTs

• Tier 2: 20% boost for holders of 2-4 Season 1 Premium Drop NFTs

• Tier 3: 10% boost for holders of one Season 1 Premium Drop NFT

  Note: Heroes listed on marketplaces will not be eligible to receive these rewards.

As of this release, players that own or have owned Premium Collection heroes during Season 1 will now see a huge bump in their BP points, according to the tiers above. They will also see the amount of boosted BP points added at the end of each match.

🥳 Ain’t no party like a Mini Royale party, ‘cause a Mini Royale party no longer resets after each reload

We have a lot of work coming up for the more social elements of Mini Royale, like parties, followers and additional clan mechanics. In this release, we addressed an issue causing parties to disband after each page reload.

Now, your party will only reset if you choose to leave the party. But who would ever want to leave the Mini Royale party?!

🤷 Shield? What shield?

Alas, the eternal quest for perfect spawn logic wages on. While this is in the works, shields have provided a quick band-aid as protection from spawn camping; however, with this release, we have heard you all loud and clear that the shields need some improvement.

Now, shields will disappear as soon as a player shoots (or after 4 seconds max). We will continue to tweak shield and spawn logic as we get more feedback from our community.

🌟 You don’t need to be godlike to make a clan

Previously, players had to reach level 20 in order to create a Mini Royale clan. Now, players can now create clans as soon as they hit level 9. Keep an eye on those clan leaderboards, fam.

💄 Leaderboards get a glow up

We’ve updated our leaderboards for a cleaner and more enjoyable ~*viewing experience. More updates to come for leaderboards in the future.
