The latest MPH game build ‘Fully Loaded’ is now live! Get in there NOW!

BIG. HUGE. GIGANTIC updates across the game, the Devs are hitting it out the park, well in this case, the stadium!

Here's all the cool stuff you can expect from the new build!

New Battle Zone: Big Carrot Energy Stadium
Rogue Jumpers Represent! Explore the stadium in Hangout or destroy your friends in competitive modes.

Factions Reputation Teaser
Pledge allegiance to a Faction. Raise your reputation level and unlock sick faction drip. The full faction Reputation system unlocks in the next release.

Melee Weapon Combat Improvements
The melee weapons now have a more significant leap from alternative attack. You can use it in mid-air and fly a long distance to attack them.

Updated Skateboard Physics
It’s way more physical now. Gravity is now included so you go faster downhill

Skateboard and Water Pistol Skins
You can now change your Skateboard and Water Pistol Skins.

Reload Animations
All reload animations are now hooked up and in the game. Certain weapons can now be interrupted and only half reloaded.

Weapon Movement Speed Modifiers
Weapons now impact your movement speed.

Performance Improvements (we hope)
We’ve been optimizing the shiznit out of the game. You should see noticeable performance improvements.

Founders Pass has been removed
We are transitioning to the new Faction Progression system, so the founder's pass has been removed from the menu. We have a plan for these items in a future release.

Web3 Backend Infrastructure
The hooks are in. We have successfully tested acquiring Web3 items from the MPH store and having them appear in the game inventory via the Karrat Protocol. There will be much more on this front upon the upcoming launch of Studio Chain.

Web3 Exclusive Cosmetics
The Web3 marketplace will soon be rolling out Web3 Exclusive Cosmetics. Some will be purchasable, while some will be unlockable through in-game actions or SK competitions.

This build is the launchpad for ongoing Web3 activations upon the upcoming launch of Studio Chain! We are still heads down and working very hard on the tasks at hand, as their completion will manifest in very substantial updates to the game and wider MPH ecosystem.

The team's been cooking, more fun stuff will be rolling out in the coming weeks and months! Hooli Hoo!

The crypto market crash was down to Bitcoin's correlation with tech stocks, not the collapse of Terra's UST stablecoin, according to a new report from @Chainalysis. https://t.co/ke0qD3VFUC
