Anomaly President Update Adds the Chakram Weapon and Launches Speedrun Contest 2
Anomaly President welcomes a new spinning melee weapon, quality-of-life additions, and the second official speedrun competition. Players can now unlock the Chakram via the Permanent Upgrades menu while competing in the Raid the Media Building event.
Anomaly President is expanding its early access arsenal with the addition of the Chakram, a fast-paced spinning weapon designed for close-quarters combat. Alongside this new gear, the developers have launched the second official speedrun contest and introduced several heavily requested quality-of-life adjustments.
New Weapon: Chakram
The Chakram is now available to unlock directly through the Permanent Upgrades menu. Described as spinning discs of bloodbath, the weapon is built to accelerate combat pacing and provide an alternative playstyle alongside previous additions like the colossal Greataxe.
Quality of Life and Audio Polish
Base and menu navigation receive several functional improvements. A new input on the Base scene lets players show or hide the exterior of the bus with ease. Credits now appear on the main menu, and new sound effects have been integrated across various encounters.
Speedrun Contest 2
The second community speedrun event runs from September 18 at 16:00 UTC to September 21 at 16:00 UTC. Participants must complete a Raid the Media Building run as fast as possible with an on-screen timer, upload the recorded footage to YouTube, and submit their Steam profile and Discord ID through the official Discord server.
Why this patch matters
This update injects fresh offensive options into Anomaly President while engaging the community with a targeted speedrun event, keeping early access momentum steady.
