Mechabellum Public Test Server Update 1.9.1 Preview
The Public Test Server for Mechabellum has been updated with a preview of Update 1.9.1, showcasing upcoming features like the dimensional anomaly, new unit tech for Sabertooth and Mustang, and Rift Score tracking ahead of the February 5 release.
Players can preview upcoming changes for Mechabellum through the Public Test Server ahead of the official launch on February 5. Update 1.9.1 brings experimental dimensional anomalies, fresh unit technologies, and the new Rift Score competitive structure into a testing environment.
Dimensional Anomaly Testing
The test build introduces a dimensional anomaly that allows players to purchase and deploy defensive structures including Defensive Walls, Anti-Armor Cannons, and Rapid-Fire Cannons. Anti-Armor and Rapid-Fire cannons are permanently removed upon destruction, while Defensive Walls require two destructions before permanent removal. Map layouts during this test period feature exclusively Defensive Walls to evaluate building adjustments.
New Tech Implementations
Testing features distinct values for upcoming unit abilities. The Sabertooth tech deploys a trench at battle start, freezing the unit in place while increasing HP by 70 percent and range by 30, with a seven-second timeout if no enemies enter range. The Mustang tech grants instant destruction attacks against targets with current HP below 300, scaling by 300 per additional level, alongside a 50 percent attack reduction.
Competitive Features and Equipment
The Rift mode adds a Rift Score and associated leaderboard that resets every Monday. Equipment is now expanded for availability across all game modes. A deployment confirmation pop-up is included to catch unused supplies or battlefield powers before locking in moves, though it can be toggled off via settings.
