Soldiers!

Each fighter needs a reliable friend who can help them out of a desperate situation, gather information about the enemy movements, cover their backs or sacrifice themselves for the success of a common mission. Finding a companion is a difficult task, but very soon it will be easier than ever! 

We are glad to present you the new mechanics - pets! This is an exclusive unit of animals who have undergone a special training and can now offer unique characteristics.

About the new mechanics

Pets will accompany your character in battle and give him or her certain bonuses. Pets are sturdy, they sport special specs and are completely invulnerable to the enemy. If the character dies while summoning a pet, the latter will be deactivated.

At start, the player will have 5 available pets. They are class-specific and cannot be distributed at the player's discretion.

Pugs for Riflemen
Don't let the cute appearance of the pug deceive you. You will not have to ask it twice to bite a piece off your enemies. The pug will slow down opponents and make them move more carefully in order to avoid its small sharp teeth.

Elapidae for Medics
By taming snakes, Medics will be able to learn more about poisons and apply this knowledge to craft special ammunition that will surely turn out very effective in the fight against any rival.

Goliath birdeater for Engineers
The new pet for Engineers will be very useful in battle. Its web is so sticky and repugnant that once your enemies get into predatory nets, they will immediately be confused and forget how to move well.

Golden eagle for Snipers
No one will be able to hide from the sharp eyes of this bird of prey. It will follow your rivals and help track their location.

Mechanical drone for SEDs
This steel pet is programmed not only as a reliable companion. It can also carry out repairs of any complexity. The drone is able to fix any damage that its owners and thier allies will receive.

Combat Specs

Each pet has a unique bonus that lasts while it escorts the character. It provides a specific effect to the owner, his or her allies or the enemy (depending on the pet).

• "Pug" (Rifleman)
  The opponent's movement speed gets reduced by 30%, once he or she hits the player's line of sight.
• "Elapidae" (Medic)
  The Medic's ammo is oiled with poison and, upon hitting an enemy, inflicts additional damage (decreases health by 2 points per second) during 30 seconds.
• "Goliath-spider" (Engineer)
  The movement of an opponent who is within a radius of 4 metres near a standard engineer mine slows down by 40% and becomes inverted (for example, to move to the right, you will need to use the "left" button, to move forward the "backwards" button, and so on).
• "Golden eagle" (Sniper)
  The pet shows the movement of one random living enemy on the map. After the opponent's death, the goal does not change until a new round begins.
• "Drone" (SED)
  The drone activates a passive bonus to armour regeneration (10 points per second) for the owner and all living allies within a radius of 7 metres from the character.

How do you get these pets? It's simple - just play, accumulate 50,000 Crowns and exchange them for a permanent pet in the game store.
