(Chris Mullins) #1

Suit up and boot up, Mercs!

Along with a Ranked Points weekend, today’s update brings some minor fixes, and some not-so-minor additions to the game.

OBSIDIAN OPERATIVES

For the next two weeks, something special is hitting the Store.

Ever since Dirty Bomb was kickstarted by Founders buying packs to support the game, players have requested more impactful skin changes for their Mercs. Today we’re taking a first step towards fully realizing this with the launch of a new Loadout Card line - Obsidian Operatives.

Arty, Stoker and Fletcher are getting their own preset Obsidian Loadout Cards, complete with leather jackets, facemasks and high-tech sportswear. These suited-up Mercs will make you the talk of London, so get them while they’re available!

Find them in the Dirty Bomb Store, individually or as a bundle, until the 6th of July.

RANKED SEASON 3 ADDITIONS

Several new items have been added to the Ranked Store, giving you more to fight for and boosters to get you there faster.

BATTLE HARDENED TRINKET

Do you burn through Ranked Points like they were going out of style? Introducing the Battle Hardened Trinket, a shiny reminder of your Ranked Dedication.

This Trinket bursts apart with a glowing rage when you inspect it, and highlights your kills in the killfeed for other players. Purchase it for Ranked Points in the Ranked Store.

RANKED BOOSTERS

Ranked Boosters can now be purchased in the Ranked Store. These premium items increase your base Ranked Point earnings by 50%, and continue to operate during Ranked Point Weekend events to double your earn rate - So this weekend is the best place to start!

Unlike Credit Boosters, Ranked Boosters work in real-time rather than match-time. Because of this, Ranked Boosters last for a number of days rather than hours.

They are still active in the down-time between Ranked Seasons, so be careful when purchasing close to the end of the Season.
