Update 4.9.0

2024.11.27

Roll, rumble, and rise!

This week’s update cranks up the action with FANFARE: enjoy 200% XP for Daily Contracts and up to 150% bonus XP and Fans earned for gameplay until the end of Season 4! Whether you're chasing victories or grinding out those last rewards, now’s the time to shine.

Suit up with the Smashquaker Set for roller derby dominance, channel primal energy with the Savage Spots Set, or stay sleek and fast in the Swift Stripes Set. Prefer a cooler approach? The Eclipse Shade adds a shadowy edge to every encounter.

On the technical side, we’ve reshaped the Model 1887, boosting its pellet count and tightening its spread while reducing the damage for more precision-packed shots. Customization fixes polish up fan favorites like The Synthsprawler and Darque Mood, and performance tweaks should give your HUD a smoother shine.

Stay sharp, and keep your aim true. Now, let’s dive into the full patch notes!
