As the Battlerekt tournament series nears the finish lines, the power rankings in both regions are solidifying more and more. In Europe new contenders are popping up constantly, but Intolerant stays a constant at the top of the leaderboard. A team to give Legendary a real run for their money in North America has still not been found, despite valiant efforts by everyone.
Replays – Summer Mega Patch
With the new patch coming we want to give some heads up regarding replays. Due to version differences replays made from before the Summer Mega Patch will continue to work but may affect your performance in a negative way while viewing them. In short, old replays won’t be broken, but can result in lower frame rates while being viewed. This will most likely be more noticeable on low-end computers.

Chest & Income System Updates
We are introducing a lot of new stuff with the Summer Mega Patch on June 27th so some systems will change to accommodate.
First, with the Summer Mega Patch Silver Chests will be purchasable for 400 Battle Coins. Leveling your account will also award Silver Chests. Gold Chests will however no longer be obtainable via Battle Coins. Instead players will get them via Gems, Quests and leveling Champions.
Second there’s also changes coming to how players earn Battle Coins. Players will no longer earn 50 Battle Coins by winning 3 matches. Instead they will earn Battle Coins after every match regardless of if it’s a win or a loss. This income uses a static value where a few factors also grant extra Coins. Despite this the Battle Coin income rate through matches stays about the same. The total Battle Coin income will be higher than before though due to the new Quest system.
If you have extra Battle Coins lying around, make sure to buy Gold Chests with them while you still can!

Dev Blog #19 – Campaigning and Questing
Hey all, Christian here with some more information about the upcoming patch I talked a bit about last week. If you missed it in last week’s dev blog, I talked in short about changes that will come with the next major patch and which are meant to prepare Battlerite for Free-To-Play (and complement Battlerite Lite). The three things I brought up was an updated Quest System, the introduction of Account Levels, and the new currency currently called “Gems”. In this week’s post we’ll check in again on the new player experience, as it’s also slated to arrive in the same patch, and take a closer look at what the new Quest System entails.
