- ■First of all,
-
Greetings and thank you for your service, pilot! This is Ishii from the Develop Team.
While it might be a little bit late… Happy New Year, pilots!
Let’s cut into the chase, I have some update preview for you. - ■New function “Expansion facility”!
-
As we had mentioned in the “Dev Newsletter”last year, we are adding the new function “Expansion facility” in the coming update!
Detailed information will be announced in the near future, but let me go through some brief introduction here. -
- ★Customize your own MS!
-
You can obtain bonus effects by giving your MS “expansion skills” at expansion facilities.
There are 2 types of enhancement, - ①Adding skill which can boost specified spec while eqiupping specified type of custom part(s)
- ②Adding skill which can boost specified spec or the maximum value of the spec
-
to simply fit your play, or Further enhance the unit’s capabilities, or even make a build that completely different to trap your opponent!
(Also, the higher skill LV you get, as much bonus effect you will obtain.) - Let me get you some example.
- ◎Offensive / Defensive balancing customize
-
The “Custom Part Expansion [HP]” expansion skill, which increases the MS HP according to the number of custom parts classified as “Attack” type equipped.
Making your MS a high aggressive unit through the custom parts, also boost the defensive part by the expansion skill.
It is a highly versatile skill that is useful for both front-line raid, general MS that engage in close combat and even support MS that snipe from behind. 
- ◎Melee Attack Specialized Customization
-
The expansion skill “Melee Strength Expansion” can grant you a bonus effect of increasing the melee compensation and raising the limit of the value.
Combine with the custom part “Enhanced Melee Program”, you MS will now completely specialize in melee attacks.
It is recommended for MS that uses Heavy Attack of a single high power blow and MS that make heavy use of multiple fighting arms. 
-
Of course, I’ve just talked some possibility here.
I look forward to the unique skill build from you all! - ★Choose a mechanic that fits your play style!
- You can select a mechanic and pay the development costs of “MS Expansion Coins” and “DP” to develop and grant the skills at the Expansion facility.
-
There are “General” and “Veteran” mechanics, as well as the well-known “Leona Lucraft” for pilots, and the development cost and development skill LV draws change for each mechanic.
As you can see, Leona has a high development cost but also a high LV enhance rate. -
Mechanic Development cost Drop rate of each skill LV LV1 LV2 LV3 LV4 LV5 
General Mechanic
DP: 3,00045% 33% 15% 5% 2% 
MS expansion coin: 50 -
Veteran Mechanic DP: 30,000– 45% 32% 15% 8% MS expansion coin: 100 -
Leona Lucraft
DP: 80,000– – 50% 35% 15% MS expansion coin: 200 - ※Obtaining rate is currently under development.
-
※
MS Expansion Coins: The coin which is for enhancing the MS and expansion skill can be obtained through daily and monthly missions after the implementation of the Expansion facility.
- Let’s make a quick summary for the introduction and see what we can do with the Expansion facility.
-
◎Get into the battle everyday and obtain MS expansion coins, also the MS expansions and skill development!
To develop expansion skill, you will need MS expansion coin and you get it from daily and monthly mission.
So, don’t forget to take you chances, pilot! -
◎Make sure to lay down your request to your mechanic everyday!
Mechanic for the skill development can only request once on each everyday. So check the cost of the request and the drop rate of each skill LV before making the request. -
◎The “great success”
Each time you develop the skills will be a possibility of “great success” and developing 2 skills at once.
Normally is just one skill at time, so it could be a huge skip on your enhancement time and cost when getting a “great success”!
However, you can only set one skill at a time, so depending on the skills you develop, this may actually be a “minor trouble”… -
◎Develop skills everyday and get the skill development bonus!
Each mechanic will have bonuses depends on how many request you have made.
Such as reduction on requirements like “MS expansion coin” and “DP”, even a higher chances of “great success”.
More request you made, your are closer to your goal! - ★”Expansion skill enhancement ticket” implementation!
-
In case of “the “skill you have but in a low level“, then you can just use Expansion skill enhancement ticket to raise the level and strengthen the skill.
By repeatedly developing skills, you can eventually give your MS the high-level skills you desire, but there is a limit to the number of skills you can develop in a day, so you can purchase and use the tickets as needed. - ★“Expansion skill enhancement ticket” to increase the LV of expansion skills will be on sale soon!
-
We are selling “Expansion skill enhancement ticket” that can be used to increase the LV of “Expansion Skills”.
In case of “the “skill you have but in a low level“, then you can use this ticket to raise the level and strengthen the skill to the highest level without having to develop it.
By repeatedly developing skills, you can eventually give your MS the high-level skills you desire, but there is a limit to the number of skills you can develop in a day, so you can purchase and use the tickets as needed. - ◎New item “Expansion skill enhancement ticket”
- ※While this ticket is paid item, you can also obtain it from campaigns so grab your chance if it is here!
- ★About the present
-
In addition, starting immediately after the next update, all pilots who log in will receive a special gift of all items needed for the Expansion facility for a limited time!
Let’s use this and try out the features of the Expansion facility! 
- ■New MS cost range “750”!!
- We are setting up the new environment for the new cost 750 units in the future.
-
“Qubeley”, “The O”, “Zeta Gundam [HML]”, and “Hambrabi”, these MS from “Mobile Suit Z Gundam” will coming in from the 1st week.
I’m sure our pilots will jump into the battlefield once played in Gundam Z!
From the second week onwards, high-level unit will continue to join the battle, so this is the only chance to enjoy a battlefield where the environment changes dramatically every week, so we look forward to your join in. - Immediately after the update, the frequency of cost 750 rating matches will be modest compared to other costs due to the small number of MS, but as the number of unit increases as the weeks go by, we will delightly increase the frequency of Cost 750 matches in the future.
- Furthermore, during the event period, you can acquire a “Zeta Gundam LV4 (cost 750)” by logging in, so be sure to go out and try it!
- ■New MS “G-Doors”!
-
“G-Doors” from “Mobile Suit Moon Gundam” is now in GBO2 as a cost 700 support MS!
(Moon Gundam’s head and psycho plate is originally belonged to this MS.)
It can also take advantage of the numerous equipped Psycho Plates to defend and attack at the same time. - <Unit features>
- ・Support unit with cost of 700.
- ・Unit 3 of the Psycho Gundam Mk-IV series, developed by remnants of the former Titans with assistance from a man known as Mister Enkidu.
-
・Commonly referred to as “G-Doors,” this unit is equipped with Psycommu weaponry known as Psycho Plates, inspired by the Reflector Bits of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II.
The armament is aimed at packaging the Psycommu system and weaponry contained in the unit, and the external installation of the system has had the second benefits of downsizing the unit and expanding the range of use of existing units. -
・While this MS was downsized, it was equipped with standard armaments such as a beam rifle, beam saber, and head vulcan.
It is equipped with as many as 16 Psycho Plates on its back, enabling it to simultaneously operate as an offensive and defensive unit. - ・The plates form what looks like a door, hence the name “G-Doors”.
- ・Can be deployed both on the Ground and in Space.
