NEW YEAR, NEW LOOPERS UPDATE!

LOOPERS ARENA - NEW YEAR, NEW LOOPERS UPDATE!

Loopers Arena has come a long way but with the start of 2026 Loopers Arena is starting off with a BANG! Revamped Familiar Fortress, New Mechanics, and PLENTY of Looper Changes!

Frosty Fest is Over, Traveling back to Familiar Fortress with a few Changes!

Frosty Fest has ended so we are heading back to Familiar Fortress! Familiar Fortress has had a bit of a Terrain and Nature rework since November changing up the Gameplay slightly!

There's a new Lake Area, Very Tall trees that can be used as Cover or something to Grapple onto, a New Castle Building, and many more small tweaks and improvements!

Like Frosty Fortress? Well don't worry as the Map will return again for 2026s Frosty Fest!

New Mechanic Changes

I've been working really hard on these new Mechanics in hopes that they don't break easily. These Mechanics should help Loopers feel more Polished and better to play!

The first of these Changes are Items/Consumables switching from requiring you to get an Elimination or be Eliminated to a Simple Cooldown System! For Most Loopers you no longer need to get Eliminations or be Eliminated just to use 1 Crash Pad or Nitro or more. Items & Consumables are still Capped at their Stack Size

The Next Mechanic isn't very game changing but one I found helpful. Have you ever tried to switch your Looper and you walk into the Ring and then find out someone is already playing that Looper and the Ring showing is a Visual bug? Well now all Loopers have a Player Counter showing how many Players are on a Looper in the Spawn Hall. So if the Ring is showing, just check the Counter and see if there is a Player already playing that specific Looper!

These last Mechanics are something we play tested on a recent Live Stream but this Update removes Damage Nerfs from the game and Increases every Looper (beside The Ice King) to 200 Health/Shields + 50 Overshield! This will help Loopers be easier to Balance, and will heavily reduce the lag that came with them!
