Boom Beach Frontlines rolled out the new 0.5.0 update on March 31, the update is aimed at making the game and the battles interesting through changes to card rarities and power, and introducing many other improvements to the overall progression and experience of the game. The update will be available for users who have the latest version of the game.
Boom Beach Frontlines 0.5.0 update
Super Operations
Super Operations will increase the intensity of the battles with a twist. The Super operations will take place in seven new maps, these islands will feature three new biomes including snowy environments, industrial areas filled with mechanical remains of Dr. T’s experiments, and islands partly destroyed by volcano activity and lava rivers.
These are the new Super Operations coming in this update:
- Base Buster: A gigantic missile present at the center of the map will attack the opposing team once it’s captured by a team, giving an advantage to the ones who hold it.
- Giga Bites: The immortal Giga Critter will fight on the team’s behalf which captures it, although the name says it’s immortal, the Giga Critter will be deactivated after heavy damage.
- Critter Fortress: Critters are free-falling from the sky in large numbers, they get bigger after each attack.
- Hot stone passage: The island will turn into a hotspot with balls of fire falling from everywhere while the players fight for control of the island.
- Freezing Point: The freezing point is the opposite of the Hot stone passage where ice brings a twist to the game as players fight for control of the island.
- Lava Land: This is when the volcano erupts as on the other hand players fight for control of the island.
- Triple treat: Point C will start under the ownership of neutral critters. Whoever captures Point C and holds 2 outposts by the end of the game will win.
Rarity Rebalances
Some cards like the Mortar Bike didn’t feel powerful enough to be an Epic, or the Shotgunner, who deserved to be more than common. This is why there will be a change in the rarity of several cards.
Rarity increases across all rarities will apply no change in card level, but the number of cards owned will be divided by 10. The Rarity decreases from Epic to Rare, and Rare to Common will add +2 card levels and multiply the number of cards owned by 10.
Rarity decreases from Epic to Common will add +4 card levels and multiply the number of cards owned by 100. All players who have an account before this update will receive 2 Premium Boxes + Coins in a predetermined amount based on the HQ level.
Troop Cooldowns
To make the battles more interesting, the troop’s cooldown will be in place with the new update. This new feature will give a short time to the eliminated team to make plans and re-evaluate their loadout. But cooldowns will differ based on situations.
- The rarity and level will determine the time span of cooldown for a troop.
- Since vehicles already have cooldowns, troops that get eliminated while driving will not go into cooldown.
