We’re happy to announce that Vehicles 2.0 is now live! Players will now be able to upgrade their favorite Mark 1 vehicles into new and improved versions. Get ready to deal even more destruction with your vehicles.

What will you need to upgrade your Mark 1 to a Mark 2 vehicle? You’ll need your Mark 1 vehicle and a Tune-up Kit which is available in the C-Store. Upgrading your existing mark 1 will not alter the appearance of the vehicle, but it will get higher stats and will add more mod slots. Most mark 2 editions will come with 7 or 8 slots, 8 if you have the 10% “Drifter Store Bonus.”

In addition, this is your chance to get four new Mark 2 vehicles, including a brand-new Hover Tank chassis. The Mammoth and Mastodon hover tanks are angular, deadly hunters of the sky, and are available in the C-Store; the Smilodon is based off the same chassis, and is available in the Drifter Salvage store. Fans of Heartstring can also pick up the Broadhead grav bike in the Drifter Salvage store.

We've also added the new Vehicle Showcase room, where you'll be able to see available vehicle designs, in Renaissance Center where the Q-Store used to be. The vehicle showroom is the one stop shop for all Champions to browse Mark 2 vehicles, upgrade your Mark 1 vehicle, and to check out the brand new stunning Mark 2’s available in the C-Store.

The new Mark 2 vehicles pack a punch and also feature incredible new designs. The new Hover Tanks and Grav Ghariots will come with 4 weapons and 3 mods (split between defense and support). Grav Bikes, Hawkwings, Exocets , and VOTLs will come equipped with 3 weapons and 4 mods (split between defense and support).

Since we've added the Mark 2 vehicles, we've knocked down the prices of most C-Store vehicles, down to 1200 ZEN. (The Stealth Hawkwing and Wilson VTOL are 1400 ZEN.) And if you've recently won an Arrowhead or Adder from the Heartstring lockbox, your vehicle should automatically be converted to Mark 2.

In addition to introducing upgraded vehicles, we are also tuning vehicles and various weapon systems. Vehicles have been given a lower in-combat speed, to help avoid overshooting your target, and we’ve altered how boost works. There were also slight changes to weapon damage.

 

We’ve received a lot of feedback from the community about updating vehciles and we are more than excited to be able to bring this update to the game. Which vehicle will you be upgrading? Let us know in the official Champions Online Forums.
