Closed Beta 2 Begins Today

Return to Kerberos

Hello Mercs! Thousands of militants joined us on the battlefield in our first Closed Beta, completing missions and racking up MARKS. It's time to enter the SECOND phase of Closed Beta, starting April 9.

If you thought that the Closed Beta 1 was thrilling? LOCK and LOAD, because we're about to take things to a whole new level.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the new exciting updates heading your way.

Biggest Updates:

1. Infantry Loadouts | There's a loadout just for you!

Players can now customize their class specific loadouts, allowing further tuning to specific playstyles. Giving you even more ways to customize your loadouts to fit your playstyles.

2. Regional Deployment | Deploy and destroy

Command your troops and call in reinforcements! The all-new “Theater of Operations” feature allows you to fast travel and deploy at specific regions in the map where there’s more action to engage in – all from the comfort of your garage.

3. World Boss Buff | Groundshaking (quite literally) stomping attacks

World bosses can stomp now, ‘nuff said. Keep your head up and watch where you’re going! This will require players to strategize on how to out-maneuver them, and offer a more rewarding victory once you defeat these behemoths.

The introduction of stomping attacks reinforces the sense of scale and power associated with world bosses, emphasizing their status as formidable foes that demand respect and careful strategy to overcome. As players face off against these buffed adversaries, they'll experience adrenaline-pumping encounters filled with tension, excitement, and the thrill of victory.

Other Cool Features:

Added PvP Domination World Mission

Brand new Domination World Missions added! Play with and against other players in Domination mode in Skull Pass and Crater City.

Hologram vehicles for scanning husks

Upon encountering a previously unseen enemy vehicle, defeat it and initiate an all-new scanning process where you can scan the husk and watch a hologram of that vehicle appear once the scan is complete. The blueprint then seamlessly gets added to your blueprint inventory.

Unit leveling updates | Level up together

New and improved leveling up system for your combined arms collection (Infantry and Vehicles) aka “Units” - so that it feels more rewarding to you and offers you more meaningful advancements and upgrades as you progress. This offers a smoother progression path for your units as they gain experience and proficiency in combat.

New consumables

You will now be able to craft and obtain various remote consumable skills such as airstrikes to use against enemies.

How long is the Closed Beta?

Closed Beta Phase 2: will be from April 9th - May 14th, with a two week hiatus from Apr 23 - May 6. The hiatus will be used to prepare a battlefield surprise that raises the stakes higher than ever before. Shortly after the end of Phase 2, $MCG will go live, and participants in Closed Beta who have earned Marks either through in-game or quest participation will be eligible to claim $MCG!
