War Effort: The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E.

The rumors were true. Mechs are back but you;ll need to donate a hefty amount of Gold Bars at Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. Stations first. The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. has a stripped down armor hull with no overshield, making it easier to counter and dismantle. However, it's perfect for taking on wave after wave of Cube Monsters.

Shopping Carts

Shopping Carts are back. Technically a "vehicle", you can throw a friend in one of these to do some quick dashing around the aisles. These carts can be found in Retail Row and Holly Hedges.

The Convergence Expands

The Convergence has once again changed shape. The Cube Queen's corruption has spread, so be sure to drop in and check it out.

Major Bug Fixes
