With the upcoming September 2022 Update of Boom Beach: Frontlines coming into the game, players will see a brand-new game mode named Boom Ball. Along with it, there will be a number of new cards, lots of balance changes, and more! The September 2022 Update in Boom Beach Frontlines, will be the 0.9.0 Update of the game.
Boom Beach Frontlines September 2022 Update: Boom Ball
Boom Ball is a new (and experimental) 6v6 game mode where each team has 3 goals. The objective is to pick up the team’s ball from your base, fight through the opponents’ defenses, and run it into one of their goals, in order to score. Taking place in Boomuda, players can also naturally expect that Goals would explode after scoring!
Players must keep in mind that each team has its own ball. Therefore, one can’t just go all-out on the offensive. If they want to win, they need to make sure that they would also defend their team’s goals to prevent the opponents from scoring. The team with the highest score by the end of the timer or that manages to score 3 goals first wins the match!Â
When and Where to Play Boom Ball
Boom Ball is a limited-time mode that is playable only during the weekends. This mode will become available each Friday at 12 p.m. (UTC), ending on Mondays at 12 p.m. (UTC). Players can unlock Boom Ball after reaching 450 Medals. Once unlocked, they can select Boom Ball from the new game mode selection screen, located right above the “Battle!” button.
Boom Ball Variants
Currently, Boom Ball has three variants. Each of them gives them a different perspective on this experimental game mode:
- Classic Boom Ball: Players can choose their Troop loadout freely, just like in Conquest. There are 3 unique maps to play on!
- All-Star Boom Ball: All players have the same Troop loadout with a choice of troops custom-picked for this mode. Each map has a different loadout. Note: Players will be given access to any locked troops at their unlock level. Of course, if their own troops have higher levels, they will get to use that instead!
- Vehicle Boom Ball: It is Vehicle-only mode and contrary to the troop-focused variants, vehicles can pick up the ball! It is time to unleash chaos and destruction on the pitch! There are 3 pre-set loadouts. Players will be again granted access to any locked vehicles.
On each weekend, there will be a different Boom Ball variant to play in, so players will get plenty of chances to try them all!
As mentioned earlier, Boom Ball is an experimental, time-limited game mode. The developers will be looking forward, super-excited, to see how players react to this mode and whether it should become a mainstay in the game. There are surely tons of learnings and improvements to be made. But, it will be the feedback of the players and the developer’s reception, which will make it the perfect game mode.
Boom Beach Frontlines September 2022 Update: New cards
The maximum player level will be increased from 53 to 56. With it, there is a selection of new islands to explore and new cards to unlock!
Crystal Critters
Crystal Critters are a rare power-up that deploys a squad of enchanted coconut critters. Once deployed, Crystal Critters will run to the closest allied Troops and jump on them to recover their health. They look pretty cute too!
Bike
The new Bike is a common vehicle, which is extra fast and super versatile. Players can hop on and gain control of the Bike while still being able to use their Troop from the sidecar. Jetpack passengers are too silly to be allowed.
