■First of all,
Greetings, pilot! This is Ishii from the Development team!
It’s March now, and I imagine some of you are super busy preparing for the new chapter in your lives!
That being said… wait, it’s already March!? I can’t hide my surprise. It feels like the seasons are passing faster and faster each year.
Now, let’s go over this month’s update information!
This time, we’ll be introducing two next-generation MSs in a row!
Some of the details have already been covered in the development video letter, but we hope this serves as a helpful recap.
■Upcoming event, GBO Spring Festival F!
This year, we’re holding the “GBO Spring Festival” once again!
In honor of the arrival of the F91, we’ve decided to call it the “GBO Spring Festival F” (Formula)!
With Special Supply Drops, limited time missions, and exciting content to enjoy every week, there’s plenty to look forward to, so be sure to join the fun!
◎Get up to 100 MSs as a gift!
To all new and returning pilots, we’re giving away up to 100 MSs during the Spring Festival!
This lineup includes highly used MSs in the current meta, units that low-rank players normally can’t exchange yet, and even ★4 MS that require a large amount of DP!
If you have friends who haven’t started GBO2 yet, this is the perfect time to invite them to join the fight!
Here are just some of the 100 MSs that will be part of the giveaway!
Can you spot them in the campaign image? (We packed them in pretty tightly, so take a close look!)
  • ★★★★　Nu Gundam
  • ★★★★　Sazabi
  • ★★★　　Gustav Karl
  • ★★★　　Dezpada
  • ★★★　　Full Armor Striker Custom
  • ★★★　　Haze’n-thley
  • ★★★　　Hazel Custom [High Mobility Form]
  • ★★★　　Gundam GP00
  • ★★★　　Sisquiede

  • ★★　　　Silver Haze Kai
  • ★★　　　Geara Zulu (EH)
  • ★★　　　Gelgoog High Mobility Type (GK)
  • ★★　　　Re-GZID
  • ★★　　　Advanced Hazel
Veteran pilots, this is also a great opportunity to gain a significant boost in enhancement values by reacquiring MS you already own!
Before claiming them by the Reward Center, be sure to unlock the enhancement value cap at the Hangar.
Also, keep in mind that 25 MSs will be gifted each week, so make sure your Reward Center doesn’t get too full!
■New MS “F90”!
“F90” from “Mobile Suit Gundam F90 Fastest Formula” is now in GBO2!
<Unit features>
・General unit with cost of 700.
・A compact melee-oriented MS developed under the Formula Project as a return to the fundamentals of battlefield tactics.
・As the 5th-generation MS production costs rose, the Federation’s Strategic Naval Research Institute (S.N.R.I.) started the Formula Project to re-envision mobile suits with their original design as versatile humanoid war machines in mind.
・Stripped of the superfluous integrated weapons systems, this minimalist MS uses micro-honeycomb technology to slim down the armor and movable frame, reducing size and weight to put the “mobile” back in “mobile suit”.
In addition, it boasts 1.5 times the output of conventional MS thanks to two miniaturized generators.
・It also features the mission pack system hard points for increased versatility.
A holo-cube processor is used for complex controls, and some even speculate that it has an artificial personality processing system on board.
・Can be deployed both on the Ground and in Space.
※This video may not be representative of the actual product.
  • Skill “OS “Type A.R””
  • ・When the MS HP falls below a certain level, this skill will be automatically activated only once.
  • ・Increased mobility.
  • ・Increases thruster recovery speed.
  • ・Stagger from cumulative damage is reduced.
  • ・Grant skills “Aerial Melee System LV1”, “Tactical Boost LV1”, “Emergency Evasion System LV3”, and “Forced Injector LV4”.
  • ・Nullifies all reactions except stagger due to cumulative damage, ONLY immediately after skill activation.
■New MS “F91”!
Let’s take a deep breath, because… we have another one! “F91” from “Mobile Suit Gundam F91” is also joining to GBO2!
With the late January update, we introduced the highest cost tier: 750.
Now, the first-ever LV1 unit at this cost is finally joining the battlefield!
<Unit features>
・General unit with cost of 750.
・This compact MS was created by the Strategic Naval Research Institute (S.N.R.I.) under its initiative to increase the role of compact mobile suits and realize the full potential of current technology.
・Based on concerns that the increased size of 5th-generation MS would lead to higher costs due to the impossibility of repurposing existing components, S.N.R.I. devised the Formula Plan to downsize mobile suits.
The preceding F90 series had multi-functional armor(MCA) and newly-developed thermonuclear reactors, greatly improving the thrust-to-weight ratio.
This extra output was used to power a Variable Speed Beam Rifle (V.S.B.R.) with the ability to adjust rate of fire and firepower, as well as a beam shield.
・This MS uses data obtained from the F90 to realize the full potential of current technology by improving the maximum output.
Limiters have been imposed due to its extraordinary capabilities, but it comes equipped with a biocomputer that activates the suit’s full potential only when the pilot is deemed capable of handling it.
・Can be deployed both on the Ground and in Space.
※This video may not be representative of the actual product.
  • Skill “Max Performance”
  • ・This skill can be activated by pressing the touch pad after a destroying a certain number of enemy MS or destruction assists.
  • ・All the parts HP (head, back, and legs) of the MS will be fully recovered.
  • ・Increases the unit attack power and mobility.
  • ・Thrusters consumption at the start of and during high-speed movement is also reduced.
  • ・Delays the movement of your MS’s marker on enemy radar
  • After the skill effect ends, it can be used again after a certain cooldown period.
  • Skill “Mobile Melee Program”
  • ・Activates while moving forward at high speed for a certain time with target weapon selected.
    Melee attacks switch to special melee while activated.
    However, during melee attacks activated by this skill, thruster recovery will not occur.
    ※For the F91, the corresponding weapon for this skill is the sub-weapon “F91 Beam Saber x2”.
■<VR operator> Cecily Token Pack is going to be on stock!
For a limited time, we will be selling a token pack that comes with a special bonus—Cecily, the heroine of Mobile Suit Gundam F91, will be joining as an operator in GBO2!
It’s the perfect combo to set her as your operator and launch into battle alongside the F91 for epic missions!
■VR operator
・Cecily Fairchild（CV: Yumi Touma）
■Voice sample
  • ※Voice of the <VR operator> Cecily will ONLY in Japanese.
■Battle Simulator is now updated!
■TRIAL “The Lineage of Gundam”
The TRIAL mission lets you try out MSs you don’t yet own and experience their performance firsthand! This time, you can be among the first to try out the F91.
The mission is an original battle where you’ll face off against the main MSs from various Gundam series one after another. Get ready for some intense action!
When you equip the F91 Beam Saber x2 and perform high-speed movement for a certain period, you’ll get to experience the iconic spinning slash—just like the one in the original series when the F91 took down the Crossbone Vanguard’s “Bugs”!
Be sure to try out this new Gundam’s performance in this mission and relive that epic moment!
■SURVIVAL “The Foes from Pezun”
The SURVIVAL mission is all about defeating an endless waves of enemy MSs.
This time, the theme revolves around the MSs related to the asteroid “Pezun”.
You’ll be facing off against the Act Zaku and Galbaldy α, secretly developed under the Zeon’s “Pezun Project”, as well as the X-series units piloted by the New Decides, a group of Earth Federation military instructors who revolted while stationed at Pezun.
■BOSS “The Descending Terror”
The BOSS mission is, as the name suggests, focused on defeating the bosses (massive MS, MA, etc.).
This time, you’ll be up against a sequential battle with the Psycho Gundam Mk-II and Big Zam!
Watch out for the escort MS and supporting artillery, and focus on attacking the boss’s weak points. When an opening appears, unleash your full firepower and go for the kill!
Be aware that beam ranged attacks will be nullified by Big Zam’s I-Field, so it’s recommended to take on this battle with an MS with ballistic weapons until you get the hang of it.
■Last but not least,
This update will be applied at [PDT] 03/12/2025 22:00 / [CET] 03/13/2025 06:00.
Just like last month, unit adjustment of the month and the report for the previous unit adjustment will be update on [PDT] 03/26/2025 / [CET] 03/27/2025 for data collecting.
That wraps up the Dev newsletter for March!
As mentioned in the video letter, we’d like to end by introducing the new opening movie!
With that, we’ll see you all on the new battlefield! Good luck out there!
