Squad Busters is undergoing significant changes, most notably the elimination of Win Streaks. This means the days of relentlessly climbing the win streak ladder for extra rewards are over. Several other updates accompany this change.
Why the Change and When?
The decision to remove Win Streaks stems from player feedback. Instead of fostering a sense of accomplishment, the streak system was perceived by many as overly stressful and frustrating. The feature will be removed on December 16th. However, your highest achieved streak will remain on your profile as a permanent record.
To compensate for this removal, players who reached certain win streak milestones (0-9, 10, 25, 50, and 100) before December 16th will receive exclusive emotes. Unfortunately, coins spent on boosting streaks will not be refunded; the developers cite maintaining game balance between free and paying players as the reason.
Player reaction to this change is mixed. While some welcome the reduced emphasis on "pay-to-win" mechanics, others express disappointment, particularly regarding the perceived inadequacy of the compensation.
Cyber Squad Season
Beyond the Win Streak removal, Squad Busters' newest season, Cyber Squad, is now live. This season offers a wealth of rewards, including a free Solarpunk Heavy Skin. Jump into the battles and explore all the new content.
