We fully integrated ARKit 2! Now, two friends can play the game at the same time, in the the same location, sharing the same battlefield. No longer limited to play with friends online, local multiplayer is a really new way to compete. Watch out for the other player's position in the real world and get to your favorite spot as fast as you can for more effective and precise aiming. Physical contact allowed...but Fair Play rules apply :) Also, with ARKit 2, plane detection is faster and more accurate. Well lit and non-reflective surfaces are needed for optimal AR tracking.

• Major content release! New heroes, friend matches, 7 new languages, superweapon tweaks. • Two new Machines are now unlockable. With brand new abilities, Nightcore and HEEVR should add a whole new dimension to gameplay. • Nightcore is an elegant, long range death machine, designed for quick decisive kills. Her skill with a sniper rifle is unmatched amongst Machines. • H.E.E.V.R., or Hostile Environment Exploration Vehicle Repair, is a loyal and rugged explorer that will keep your machines in good repair. • Hero selection - tap on your Machines in the lobby to enter selection mode. Read about each unique Machine and try them all in battle. • Superweapon changes- The superweapon now charges when you kill enemy heroes, instead of drawing from general combat points. We felt players shouldn’t need to make a choice between using OMS and the super weapon. • Friends battles are here! Now you can invite friends and challenge them directly from your friends list. • Friends leaderboard- see who’s top dog amongst your friends on this new friends-only leaderboard. • Game fully translated to Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian.
