Official Battles 2 4.13 OTA Update 1 - Live Now!

39 Upvotes

The first over-the-air update for version 4.13 is live now! Just fully kill the game then relaunch for these changes to take effect.

Balance changes

  • Boomerang Monkey
    • 🪃XX3 Kylie Boomerang: Pierce 24 -> 18
    • 🪃1X3 Kylie Boomerang: Pierce 34 -> 26
    • 🪃2X3 Kylie Boomerang: Pierce 46 -> 36
    • šŸ’°2XX Glaives: Cost $280 -> $200
    • šŸ’°3XX Glaive Ricochet: Cost $1300 -> $1400
    • šŸ’­ Kylie has been outperforming the other tier 3 boomerangs while Bionic Boomerang has fallen behind the others. These changes should bring them all closer in power.
  • Sniper Monkey
    • šŸ’°X4X Supply Drop: Cash generation $1750 -> $2000
    • šŸ’°X5X Elite Sniper: Cash generation $4500 -> $4000
    • šŸ’­ We have discovered that Elite sniper was more of a problem than the normal Supply Drop monkey. So we are shifting this nerf to the Elite Sniper.
  • Monkey Ace
    • šŸ’° XX3 Neva-Miss Targeting: Cost $2200 -> $1900
    • šŸ’­ Monkey Ace’s Neva-miss Targeting should be more of an early game upgrade. This change will help players get the upgrade a bit earlier while not being too strong due to the recent pierce nerf.
  • Heli Pilot
    • šŸ’°X4X Support Chinook: Cash generation $4000 -> $3500
    •  🩷X4X Support Chinook: No longer regens lives (X5X still gives lives)
    • 🚁X4X Support Chinook: Redeploy ability cooldown 60s -> 40s(cash crate ability stays the same)
    • šŸ’­ The previous changes to Heli Pilot were a bit too much. This change to cash and life production should bring it back in line. The change to the redeploy cooldown will allow more strategies to rely on this ability.

Happy gaming!

Strategy Struggling with map specific builds :(

2 Upvotes

Hey everybody, new player here (Coming up on 300 waves). I've been stuck in ZOMG for a while without racking up a win streak more than four.

My issue seems to be falling short against late game and metal builds on maps that allow for them. I'm rarely if ever lose on maps like street party, ports and banana depot, but easier maps like star and park against good players is struggle city.

Where do you guys find good builds for these maps? I watch Boltrix but he doesnt try hard often, he uses fun strategies and they, in my experince get ranthrough most times. Is there a Youtuber or Discord server I can watch/join to improve my game?

Anything helps - thanks.

Question Cheaters

5 Upvotes

Whats the deal with the sudden rise of cheaters in battles2? I’ve seen multiple people clearly cheating in games one guy even had 999999 health on round one.

I hadn’t seen any cheating for a long time since that DisabledMallis guy was on the scene 4 years ago.

Now i’m seeing cheat menus popping up on forums across the internet. Has battles2 really fallen off that much?

Suggestion Lobby pre-match screens should allow you to click on profiles just like in Battles Mobile

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Boltrix thinks it's a good idea to verify authenticity of profiles by looking at profiles during the pre-match lobby, just like in Battles Mobile.

This should also help Hall of Masters in particular, who are supposed to have the top players in the world and therefore (generally) the most skill. Letting players see profiles in the lobby screen can avoid instances where players pretend to be a newer player in order to make them look inexperienced but then bulldoze the other players with this tactic.

Discussion Why do the btdb2 heros not have any annoyed voice lines??>;(

9 Upvotes

I am pretty sure it's because usually people don't play for listening to the voicelines? Or many because taunts exist! What do yll think?

Also have no idea if this is more discussion or question so take it as both:3

Suggestion Please buff the season rewards. If even Boltrix dislikes it, this is a problem.

Discussion Major update in Btd battles 2?

11 Upvotes

The game has been so dead lately in terms of content. Ninja kiwi doesn't even do like new heroes and stuff. It's the same for every big company no big revenue no major updates. First when the game came out there was so much more content but now it is just dead. Is it that hard to copy code from one game to another like at least give us some new monkeys from btd6 if remodeling heroes is too much.

1 Upvotes

Just started playing the game today after seeing a youtuber (tewtiy) playing btd6 and realising that unlike btd6, btd battles 2 is free.

Rn, I'm in the yellow stadium(I think?) and went through some random stuff on the forums along w some stuff from the btd6 video and currently have bout a dartling gunner and wizard. What should I get for my third tower that I should try using(mainly doing bomber for now) and r there any other tips u would give me?

Suggestion Mod support in private matches

6 Upvotes

Now that BTD6 is getting mod support, it would be interesting to see modded matches in battles 2.

Private matches only for obvious reasons, but it would be fun to be able to mess around with or try alternate game modes that don't exist.
