Hello Guardians!


The Arsenal update is free and is the first real content update of the year following our roadmap.

I wonder what could be in the Super update? Surely something super...We've put together a video to give you a quick overview of the highlights of this update, find it here:


Here are the highlights of the Arsenal update.

We've added 9 brand new weapons to the game. Some of them are hommages to the things we love (and that fit Roboquest) and others are just designs we felt were missing.

• Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.

• Rapier - En garde!

• Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!

• Minion Box - Raise my minions!

• Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.

• Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?

• Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.

• Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.

• Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).

Two new friendly robots are coming!

Willy Wonder and Burger Bill.

Willy Wonder is a kind and swormy merchant who can upgrade your weapons' rarity (granting them access to more affixes) at the cost of Powercells. In addition, he also has access to all sorts of perfumes to grant 1 additional affix to your weapons.

Willy Wonder has to be unlocked through a Basecamp upgrade.

Look at that handsome fella!
The second one is Burger Bill.

He's been voted Employee of the month for more than a century now, so you'll be in good care with him.

Burger Bill doesn't do anything in particular for you. But he runs the Training Range.

Unfortunately, he's been missing recently and as a result the Training Range is closed!
Help find him! If not for him, do it at least so you can enjoy his company!

We added a Training Range in the Basecamp.
Initially, you only have access to Punching-Bot (to measure your DPS).

But once you've found Burger Bill, he will bring back its former glory to the Training Range and you will be granted access to:
• A Weapon Vending Machine to spawn any weapon you have the card of
• A Soda Machine to upgrade your weapon
• A Shooting Range with little dummy targets and a banger soundtrack

The Crystal Powder is a new resource that can only be found at the end of Corrupted Levels you've already completed.
Upgrading a weapon from Epic to Fantastic at Willy Wonder's shop will require a Crystal Powder.

We hope that this addition will give incentive to update your route when progressing through the game, effectively promoting a more varied game experience.

We've implemented a new keyword in this update: Summon.
Various effects in the game now directly reference Summon and the action of "Summoning".

That means that you now have options to opt-into builds that directly reinforce and grant new bonuses to your army of minions!

In addition, all the multiplayer-only items now trigger off your wonderful "summons".

Finally we added a bunch of new options to toggle certain UI elements and other quality of life changes.


And that's it for the highlights of this patch!

If you want to read the full patch-note, head over there.

The Arsenal Update is live and available now so we hope you're ready to kick some metal ass!

Here are the patch-notes for the 1.2 version of Roboquest: the Arsenal Update.

Find the release announcement here.



• New resource: Crystal Powder
• Crystal Powder can be acquired at the end of levels containing a Corrupted Crystal you've already claimed
• Crystal Powder is used to increase a weapon's rarity from Epic to Fantastic in the new friendly robot Willy Wonder (view in the Friendly Robots section later)
• New keyword: Summon
• Summoning is the action of deploying allies like drones, decoy, sentry turrets and everything else that is tagged as Summon in its description
• Several ingame elements such as Perks and Items grants bonus effects to your Summons
• Reworked several parts of the code to make sure your summons apply your additional effect like "marking burns"


• Several perks have been reworked to now include the Summon keyword


• New weapons:
• Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.
• Rapier - En garde!
• Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!
• Minion Box - Raise my minions!
• Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.
• Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?
• Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.
• Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.
• Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).
• The damage of summons deployed by alt-fires has been increased by 15% per weapon level to 20% per weapon level

• Decreased Cadence firerate bonus from 15% to 10%
• Fragmentation reworked, now works as Buckshot but sends a volley of explosive projectiles

Developers' Note: Fragmentation always felt awkward and a bit misplaced due to its graphical implementation and its projectile speed. Replacing it with something that propels several projectiles similar to its origin weapon will probably feel better overall and works best for us in terms of balancing and implementation. Beware Kaboom Buckshot!

• Phone Charger now also increases your summon health

• Replaced the Goliath Destroyer by a Goliath Cruiser in Fields
