Gundam Breaker 4 update adds Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam and Gundam Calibarn ahead of in-game events

Bandai Namco has released a new update patch for Gundam Breaker 4 that also has some major additions. The company has added the promised new Mobile Suits ZGMF/A-262PD-P Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam from Gundam SEED Freedom and X-EX01 Gundam Calibarn from The Witch From Mercury with this update. Players can obtain them by buying their respective Gunpla kits that have been added to the in-game shop.

This patch also comes ahead of the start of in-game events. In a Japanese-exclusive announcement, Bandai Namco revealed that they will gradually hold three kinds of competition events. Those who want to complete the game's trophy/achievement list will particularly want to look out for the Gunpla customization upload event on October 10-17 and the Diorama contest event on November 7-14, as the Event Gallery will finally be available for submissions during those periods.

The same patch, however, also includes several gameplay balance adjustments. While Bandai Namco has practically buffed the Funnels and Machine Guns, they also brought nerfs to the rapid-thrust attacks from the likes of Gundam Barbatos' mace and the Gyan and Gundam Rose's sabers. These balances are made to level the playing field, because the company will hold a Battle event on October 24-31 where players will compete for high scores and clear times in the leaderboards.
