Mechabellum Update 2.0.0.2 Adjusts Star Expedition Difficulty

Mechabellum update 2.0.0.2 tweaks Star Expedition matchmaking to make the mode easier for 70 percent of players while increasing difficulty for the top one percent. The patch also releases Elite Battle Contracts DLC on Steam alongside minor bug fixes.

Update 2.0.0.2 for Mechabellum alters the Star Expedition enemy matchmaking logic, introduces new downloadable content on Steam, and clears out several known bugs across units.

Star Expedition Tuning

Matchmaking rules for enemy lineups now draw differently from player pools. About 70 percent of players will encounter easier opponents in Expedition mode. High-tier matchmaking remains largely stable, but the top one percent of elite players will face increased difficulty due to a higher ratio of victorious player snapshots.

DLC and Bug Fixes

Elite Battle Contracts DLC packages are now available for purchase on Steam, with Epic Games Store availability scheduled for the following day. The patch also resolves bugs affecting Sandworms, the Experimental Death Knell, and reward distribution alongside display errors.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.0.0.2 fine-tunes PvE difficulty distribution while bringing new content to Steam, smoothing out rough edges from the 2.0 launch.
