Good day all! Christian here and after a short break from Dev Bloggin’, I’m back to once again share another post with you. This week we’ll talk a bit about how the Summer Mega Patch panned out, answer some questions you might have about it, and the possibilities that have opened up now that the patch is live. Read more »
A hotfix was applied today, on June 30th.
The full patch notes for the Summer Mega Patch can be found here: https://blog.battlerite.com/0-13-0-0/
We deployed some fixes yesterday, around 3 hours after the patch went live. These fixes took care of:
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.
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.
Hey everyone! Shelt (from way back in Dev Blog #2) here to once again to talk a bit about the previous season and about some of the updates for Season 4.

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!
Battlerekt Week 7 was ahead us with plenty of buzz and intrigue. Last week, after three weeks on top, Intolerant was pushed off of their European throne and replaced by Functional Sociopaths. Meanwhile, North America saw rosters change but the dominance of Onslaught remained. How would it all resolve? Could Intolerant battle back? Is Onslaught getting new challengers?
