guys i found leaked patch notes by ddosing into the hawken servers!
General changes
- Maps are now selected at random instead and servers do not cycle through maps sequentially.
- Map pool: We have removed Origin and Wreckage from the TDM Map Pool, as we found that games on these maps were often standard and very stale.
- To compensate for this, we have added Uptown and Bunker to the TDM Map Pool an additional 3 times, as we found that these types of maps were much more exciting, and we wanted to make players more likely to encounter them in the future.
- Renamed Last Eco to Lagwood Forest.
- We found that the maps in the Siege Map Pool weren't interesting enough. To encourage more interesting gameplay, all maps in the current Siege Map Pool have been replaced with Bazaar, Bunker, and Prosk.
- Missile Assault is no longer selectable from the in game menu. Instead, a Siege game has a 20% chance of starting as a Missile Assault game instead.
- Marvin the Yeti can now spawn on all maps (DM only).
- Sound changes: Pressing the "request help" key (Z by default) will now play "hax requested" instead of "help requested".
Mechs
- All mechs now have rear view mirrors
- If a player holds the BOOST and FLY keys at the same time, the mech will instead enter liftoff mode. Mechs can now attempt to breach Ilaal's quarantine.
Scout
- Increased walking speed by 3 m/s and boosting speed by 2 m/s
- Decreased reload time of all weapons.
- Increased damage of all weapons
- The TOW has been replaced with the TOW Mk II, which reloads twice as fast and has a larger explosion radius.
- Reduced health to 55.
- Special ability also increases run speed
Bezerker
- Special ability now lasts 30 seconds longer. The Bezerker can no longer overheat during this time, but all controls except facing direction will stop responding. The Bezerker will boost, fly, dodge, shoot, and walk in random directions until the effect wears off.
- The effect now increases weapon damage by 400.
Incinerator
- Incinerators can now do friendly fire.
- Whenever a mech is killed by an incinerator, a loud "MICHAEL BAY" will be plated to all players, regardless of audio settings.
- Incinerators can now be used to produce charcoal to aid allied mechs when they are low on fuel. This is only particularly effective on Lagwood Forest and Wreckage.
Assault
- Removed the Assault. Players with two or more assaults will be refunded 300 HC.
Vanguard
- Vanguards can now be purchased with MC only.
Marvin the Yeti
- Can now be purchased for 4,000,000 HC or 20,000 MC.

Predator
- Is now permanently cloaked and does not show any silhouette. Activating the special ability now enables "snoopervision", placing Snoop Dogg's face in front of the screens of all enemy mechs.
Bruiser
- Has been renamed "Minor Distraction" from "Bruiser".
New Mechs
Super Assault
