Greetings pilots!

May is the month of updates it seems! On May 15, we'll be releasing another minor update for HAWKEN. The main feature in this patch is a special map we've designed specifically for the Fight Club community event! The map is basic, but will hopefully provide our community with an awesome playground to host future Fight Club events.

We've also performed some additional economy rebalance. Many mechs, weapons and items have had their HC and MC costs reduced.

Below are the detailed patch notes for this minor update. Enjoy!

Special Notices

[*]Economy Rebalance

[*]All mechs have had their MC costs reduced.
[*]All primary weapons and items have had their MC and HC costs reduced.

[/list]Features

[*]Test Arena Map

[*]This is a new, untextured test map in an arena style designed primarily for competitive 1v1 matches, also known as HAWKEN Fight Club. This map is only accessible through private servers.

[*]The Rules of Fight Club

[*]In fight club, pilots will face off in a Best of Three 1 v 1 fight to the death to determine who is the ultimate mech pilot.
[*]Two pilots will enter the arena via the mech teleporters located on the BLUE and RED side of the arena into their designated "Staging Pits".
[*]After both pilots are ready and in their respective "Staging Pits", a spectator pilot will begin the match countdown for the battle to begin.
[*]After the match countdown reaches "Zero" or "GO!" , the match begins and the two competitors begin their match.
[*]After a player has lost 2 rounds, that player is eliminated from the competition and two new pilots will move on into the arena to take their place.
[*]The last pilot standing at the end of the fight club is the victor!
[*]Remember, these are merely suggestions on how you, the players, organize and conduct your Fight Club matches. If you feel your event would run better with different rules or organization, go for it! This map exists for the sole purpose of being used by our creative community.

[*]Spectating Made Easier

[*]Special rules have been applied to the Fight Club map that makes spectating the arena easier.
[*]While in the spectator stand, you will not be able to fire, use items, and most of the HUD has been disabled to enable players to watch the fights clearly.
[/list]
[*]Use the Teleporters!

[*]Simply walking up to the spinning teleporters will teleport you in and out of the arena.
[*]There are also two more teleportation devices installed on the sides of the arena to allow players to move between the arena's sides.
[/list]
[*]Swap Your Mechs

[*]There are multiple Mech Swap Stations installed around the arena.
[*]If you need to change Mech before battles or need refresh your items and ability, simply walk up to one of the many Mech Swap stations and press the "E" button.

YES fuzzy bunny YES
IT'S FINALLY HERE

Loving the reduced item prices! Being broke for HC as I am, grinding out the credits to kit out a new mech got a bit annoying sometimes. ^^

I don't want to sound greedy for asking this, but will there be HC reimbursements for already-purchased items_ If not then no big deal, but if there are then I'll be able to buy my G2 Raider a whole lot sooner.

@ZC: Cool, thanks!

[ShadowWarg]

Why are Adhesive's minor updated NEVER MINOR!

So this new area, this isn't an actually game mode with these set rules_ Dudes, do you even know what you have_ Do you know how many people would love this in local. This is spectator and duel mode in one convenient package! This has got to come out for public servers. If not for test of skill, than to just sit back and watch others blow up while studying how they play in comfort.

Add in leader boards and your golden!

Onward and upward fellow pilots!

I will say the game has shown steady and consistent improvements since the Steam patch.

Keep up the great work!

[Beefsweat]

Does this mean we could see a spectator mode for all game modes in the near(ish) future_

[teeth_03]

The Items are still too pricey to be mech specific, we need global options, even if they're MC only.

[jrkong]

HC reductions! JUST EPIC!

If only the G2 Raider got fixed though.

[OmegaNull]

What happens in fight club stays in fight club.

[KejiGoto]

Ah hell yes! Fight Club!

[Mech__Warrior]

Devs, you rocked it with the 1v1 Fight Club map!  Your creativity and in working with the community is awesome, even though I've never joined any fight clubs.

[Bearbolt]

Economy changes_ Check. Fight Club_ Check. Potato that crashes every other match_ *Sigh*... Check.
