The Robocraft site has been updated with a new blog post that informs players that loot crates as drops or as earned rewards are being removed completely from the game. Purchasable crates were removed in mid-May. The current iteration of crates will remain in place until the deployment of the next Phase 2 update when the Tech Tree will make its return.
In lieu of crates, players will find the Tech Tree returning to the game, with Special Effects earned as players level up and earn Tech Points. In addition, Robit battle rewards will be handed out based on each player's performance in the match.
In another future update, players will find the Tier system. There will be five tiers (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary).
- Robot Ranking returns – each part has Robot Rank and the combination of parts on your Robot will define its Tier
- Higher rarity parts will typically have higher Robot Rank values
- We’ll remove Boosts from the game
- 8 vs 8 Elimination returns as a permanent game mode as part of the mode roster
- Game Mode selected at random when battle launches, with users able to ‘opt-out’ of modes they don’t wish to play
- A tiered reward system with higher Tiers giving greater XP and Robits
- Ranking available in all Tiers, can you get to Protonium 5 star in all Tiers (it’ll be hardest in Legendary Tier)
- Ranking system improvements so you can play for fun without losing your rank when you want to, and play hard to rank up when you want to
