New this week in Thunder Run:

Level 16 Elite Machine Gunner

The Level 16 Elite Machine Gunner is here!

As with the recent max unit level increases, your Level 16 Elite Machine Gunners will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The best part about it? No blueprints are required for upgrading. As long as you have TOC12 and the new building levels for your Academy and Barracks, you can upgrade away!

Bug Fixes

And that’s not all, Commanders! Here’s a recap of all the Bug Fixes from the past week:

  • The user interface was falsely reporting various conflicts with equipping leaders that are now resolved. This mostly came up with Turret Emplacements, since there are more turret leaders than most other types. To trigger it, you would have to have more than six leaders in your inventory, and at least one of those leaders would have to conflict with a leader already equipped in a turret.
  • Edison wasn’t giving proper research bonuses to the Leader Academy, and Savage wasn’t giving proper research penalties to the Leader Academy. Both TOC leaders are now doing their jobs properly for that building.
  • There was a bug that caused the trophy award icons to count towards the boost item limit which is now fixed. If you are unable to apply boosts in combat but able to apply them in your base, please refresh your browser.

Have feedback to share about this week’s releases? Let us know over on our Thunder Run Discord Server.
