The team behind the MMORPG, Auto Assault, has announced that their anticipated Update 3 is now available on the game's test server. As promised, Update 3 will have four more instances that you can take advantage of regardless of your level. As we have mentioned in our last report about the game, they are The Tower, Scav Uprising, La Leche Madre, and Malachite Detention Center.

Update 3 promised to be big and from what we can see and read from the release notes, they lived up to that promise. So with that, let's go over the release notes.

Release Notes for Update 3
ADDITIONS

• Beware! Darkbite's mother has taken offense at the wanton death of her offspring. It is now possible that she will show up on occasion when he dies… and could be carrying some new goodies to boot.
• Added new Outpost Token Store "Warmonger" items and boss-specific loot drop items from the new Level 80 instance boss "The Tower”.
• Added 4 variant friction tank treads, shared across all factions (now found available in stores at Levels 24 and 48).
• Added new warning message to outposts in Ground Zero. When a turret or infantry defender is damaged, the owning race will receive a warning message.
• New Level 18 instances. These each require a group to complete. Human: Scav Uprising missions (speak with Houston in Militia Base). Biomek: 5 Detention missions (interact with Terminal-bastion-26 in Winston). Mutant: 5 La Leche Madre missions (commune with Warren in Bordertown).
• Added new Meks for display in Hazard Mode area.
• NOTE: The Power Dump feature is *NOT* active in this build.

CHANGES

• Removed restrictions on deflection and resists in PVP.
• There are two ways to get Outpost Tokens in Ground Zero now. Tokens should never be awarded in any other map except the contested layer of Ground Zero. The first way is by holding Outposts (this is identical to the way Tokens were given at release, but the payout has changed). After holding an Outpost for ½ hour, you get 1 Token. After holding the Outpost for another ½ hour, you get 1 more Token.
• Whenever you kill an enemy, there is a chance that they will drop a Token. Two factors modify this chance: the number of Outposts your race holds, and the population of your race.
• Added UI component on the bottom left portion of the HUD that shows the percent chance of a Token dropping from your current target.
• Added a new warning message to Ground Zero Outposts. The messages will alarm the owning race when a turret or infantry defended is damaged.
• NPC's that have core missions to offer are now distinguished by yellow pillars instead of white pillars.
• Xeno Darkbite Dinged! He should now be a bit more fun to farm.
