Hey Tangerine crew! We’ve been working hard to deliver an update that amps up your in-game experience, and Block 5 is here with some epic new features. Get ready to dive into thrilling combat, futuristic trading and a world that feels more alive than ever.
Reborn War Mode: Choose Your Fight
Remember when we tried out War Mode a few wipes ago? We hit a few bumps along the way, and we had to pull it from the server. But don’t worry—the developer and our team have been working together to fix those issues. Now, War Mode is back and better than ever!
- Switch It Up: Whether you’re feeling like a fearless fighter or a cautious survivor, you can easily toggle between PVP and PVE. Just head to a safe zone and use the chat command /flag to swap between modes.
- Dynamic Zones: Enjoy your adventures in areas designed just for high-octane combat or safe exploration. Bubbles around monuments will allow you to compete in PVP action while in the monument.
- Raidable Bases: Raidable Bases are now reserved for players in full PVP mode. This will mean if you attempt to go raiding then you’ll need to make sure your base is ready to defend raiders as well!
- Teams: Teams need to be unified in changing status. If someone on your team is in full PVP mode it will pull the entire team in PVP mode!
Better NPCs: The World Comes to Life
We’re cranking up the action on monuments and during events with an upgrade to our NPCs. With Better NPC on board, expect a more immersive world where every drop and event is guarded by dynamic characters to make your experience more challenging!
- New Faces at Monuments: Explore your favorite landmarks with a fresh cast of NPCs that add depth and challenge to your adventures.
- Exciting Events: From epic AirDrops to intense battles when tanks or helicopters go down, these NPCs bring extra thrills to every moment.
- Vibrant and Engaging: The upgraded NPCs create a richer, more unpredictable environment—get ready for surprises around every corner!
virtual Delivery: Your New Drone-Driven Marketplace
Say hello to the future of trading! Our new vDelivery system lets you order items from vending machines and watch as delivery drones bring your gear straight to you.
- Quick & Cool: No more waiting around—grab what you need in a flash with high-tech drone deliveries.
- Easy to Use: Just look at the back of your personal vending machine, place your order and let the drones do the rest. It’s that simple!
- Fresh Trading Vibes: Enjoy a seamless experience that keeps the focus on the fun of the game.
Outpost Vending Machine: Trade Up Your Mining Comps
Placed a Vending Machine and need a boost in your gear? Our new Vending Machine at Outpost is your go-to spot for trading up those mining comps into higher-value items.
- Upgrade On the Fly: Swap out your lower-tier mining components for top-notch resources, making your grind even more rewarding.
- Meet and Trade: This new hub is a perfect place to catch up with fellow players, share tips, and spark some friendly competition as you all level up your stash.
- Known Bugs: There’s a known bug with vending machines that won’t show what kind of item you’re looking at when viewing remotely. To see your trade up close be sure to visit Outpost directly to trade.
