September 2016

Boom Beach has had many different updates over the years. These are listed here by year:

Note! The Warships Introduction Update is still missing. This section will be added over the next few days.

2024

Maintenance Break (July 5, 2024) Bug Fix: Victory Point Exploit Fixed Maintenance Break (July 4, 2024) Bug Fixes: Bases should now spawn even if the Player is offline Cryo Mine now destroy Mines in Mega Crab. Maintenance Break (July 3, 2024) Bug Fix Game no longer crashes after swapping Troops in Warships Maintenance Break (June 28, 2024) Bug Fixes: Troops retargeting while following a flare has been fixed. Wrong text in Path of Glory Hammerman Strikes Back card has been changed. Critter GBA again spawns the correct amount of critters. New matchmaking has been fixed. Win with Unique Troops mission has been fixed. Update (June 28, 2024) UI fixes and improvements Increased vertical camera movement in player bases. Fixed not showing boost header in WS UI if the only active boost is GBE. When a resource base is captured from the player, the message no longer erroneously shows VP being lost, as resource bases no longer cause VP gain or loss. Fixed CoE banners not showing on the map in certain cases. Landing Craft unit positioning has been tuned to prevent units falling overboard. Fixed Sculptor, Prototype Factory and daily chest rewards closing their respective parent windows. Now the parent windows should stay open (e.g. shop doesn't close when claiming daily box). Seasonal Campaign mission progress message position adjusted so that UI doesn't get blocked. When using custom skins for units, the correct icons are now used as well. Warships leaderboard now shows player position for all players. Bunker and Garrison Bunker tutorial will no longer trigger in an enemy base in certain situations. Shield Generator cables are no longer going into Bunkers during attacks if there are units in the Bunker. Units are ejected from Bunkers if their team does not match the Bunker (this occurs when the Bunker is hacked). Units from Bunkers no longer get resurrected by the attacker. Garrison UI has a new icon for upkeep to differentiate it from gold costs. There are several small tweaks to make the Garrison UI clearer. Garrison units are now automatically applied after the popup is closed. Previously changes were discarded on exiting unless specifically applied first. Resource production logic was changed to fix issues with upkeep handling. Gold is no longer automatically collected when changing garrisoned units. Other fixes & improvements Improved shooting positions for Gunboats. Boats with two turrets will now shoot from both of them. Fixed units getting stuck targeting hidden defenses (Hot Pot, Boom Surprise) if their range is higher than the turret. Fixed a bug that allowed players to get an additional turret in Warships if they upgraded a node after a negative node caused their turret count to go to 0. Unit vs. unit retargeting logic was adjusted: Slow-firing units (e.g. Bombardiers) were sometimes skipping every other shot when other units (e.g. Critters) were between them and their target. Players are now shown a warning message if leaving a TF would cause intel they have collected to be lost. Earned VP is applied to the next VP chest if the current chest is full. In the Seasonal Campaign reward track the Buy Pass Point button is now situated under the free rewards. This was changed to clarify that the purchase does not award the actual rewards, only the points. Having the Boom Pass reduces the cost of switching nodes in Warships. This affects both the cost and the cost cap. Mystical Monument Leaderboard A leaderboard has been added to the Mystical Monument Only players active in the last two weeks are visible on the leaderboard Ties are resolved by whichever player got to the level first Path of Glory Path of Glory is an informational feature that indicates at which stage of a player’s journey various features are unlocked. It lists buildings, troops and game features. Path of Glory is accessed from the Building Suggestor. Invasion logic changes Logic for determining when an invasion on the Archipelago Map occurs has been adjusted. Blackguard (PvE) and mercenary (PvP) invasions are now on separate timers and are no longer random. These timers are visible in the Radar info screen. The tooltips for these timers will give additional information. The timing for when an invasion occurs has changed. Instead of a potential invasion, there will be an invasion at the time displayed. The base time for the invasions increases based on player level. This indicates the shortest time the timers can have. Base time is capped at 2 hours at level 60. Timer duration depends on the amount of discovered and liberated islands. There is a minimum number of islands that need to be liberated for the timer to start. This number depends on the total number of islands discovered. These numbers are separate for Blackguard and mercenary invasions. The more islands beyond the required amount of islands are liberated, the shorter the time to the next invasion. If all islands are liberated, the timer uses the base time. The timer is recalculated when liberated or total island count changes. The timers still have the current 14 hour inactivity cutoff. If the player has not logged in for 14 hours, the timers pause. The timers resume when the player again logs in. Update (April 30, 2024) Fixes: Fixed icon and text overlapping in info/speed up popup. Fixed door animation for Fortified Residence skin Fixed rank up screen info button not opening rank popup. Fixed wrong rank shown in daily reward ad popup. Fixed erroneously showing player resources when visiting other player’s islands from warships. Fixed a crash if player receives ER state updates from previous WS battle while in island battle. Fixed an error that caused submarine rewards always to be shards. Now, shallower dives give fragments while deeper dives give crystals. Warships Added icons to the various choice nodes when inactive. Negative nodes now check that the player has unlocked enough defenses before allowing a reduction in those defenses. Choice nodes now allow selecting defenses even if a negative node choice has caused their available count to be 0. Previously the choice nodes would have treated such defenses as locked. Seasonal Campaign & Boom Pass Sounds have been added to the Seasonal Campaign UI. Challenge missions now have a different icon background color. All missions now have a progress bar. Added functionality that prevents buying the Boom Pass if too little time remains in the Season. There are now indicators for mission progress in the home base and on the archipelago map. Missions can now be pinned to appear first on the list. All players can now purchase season points with gems to progress the reward track. Previously only Boom Pass holders had this option. Missions can now be rerolled with gems. The cost increases after each reroll. The button is in the information popup. Campaign Missions will now award intel at a rate of one per 50 points. This intel reward is doubled for Boom Pass holders (edited) Improvements Hero ability upgrades can now be finished with Attack Plan. To fix the various player XP errors over the years, a function that recalculates player XP and player level was added. This will be run for every player the first time the game is opened after the update. There will be a popup showing the change if your XP was adjusted. Supply chests (“VP chests”) now stack up to 8, with a new one added every 6 hours. Balancing Player level requirements for HQ levels 4-7 were reduced to make the early game faster. Rifleman build time is reduced to 10 seconds to reduce early game wait times. Attacking troops will prioritize engaging defending troops, including critters, that come in range, even if the attackers are firing at buildings at the time. Units will not retarget if the defending unit is already targeted by two or more attacking units. Removed VP gains and losses from resource base battles. Task Force intel cap has been increased by 50%. Classified items cap has been increased to 5. At HQ 25, Brick’s Iron Will and Everspark’s Critter Swarm can be upgraded to level 7. HQ 26 HQ can now be upgraded to level 26. After the upgrade, the following will become available: An additional Wood Storage can be built. Three mines and one shock mine can be added. New feature: Proto Module Conversion After the Weapon Lab is upgraded, players can convert proto modules for a small sum in gems. The building UI has a new tab for this conversion. New feature: Garrisons The Bunker is a new defensive building. Players can build two bunkers at HQ 26. At HQ 26, the bunkers can be upgraded to level 8. The bunker has a feature called Air Defense, which reduces damage the bunker takes from Artillery and Barrage abilities from the gunboat. Damage from troops is unaffected. The bunker has no offensive capabilities on its own. The player must garrison troops in the bunker. The bunker has a housing limit, which determines how many troops it can hold. The bunker can not hold large troops, such as Tanks, Mechs or Scorchers. The bunker will also not hold prototroops. The bunker can hold four different types of troops at the same time. Units can be freely mixed within the housing limit. Units inside the bunker fire at attacking enemies with their current stats. Units are affected by defender’s boosts from offensive statues or tribes Some troops have an improved range while garrisoned inside the bunker. Riflemen, Heavies: +50% Zookas, Cryoneers, Laser Rangers: +20% For Cryoneers and Laser Rangers this extends the distance at which the laser is fired, not the length of the laser. When the bunker is destroyed, the garrison exits and continues to fight the attackers. The garrison is restored after each battle. Even if a base is raided multiple times, the garrison will always defend the base. Garrison upkeep Garrisoning troops does not cost resources. Instead, the troops require a constant upkeep in gold. This cost per hour is indicated in the UI. This upkeep is automatically deducted from the gold produced by the Residences. Island gold production and existing gold reserves do not affect upkeep. Troops can not be placed in bunkers if their upkeep would exceed base gold production. Base gold production is affected by green statues and other bonuses. This allows the player to put costlier troops in the garrison. If base gold production drops below current upkeep, troops are removed from the garrison. Maintenance Break (April 9, 2024) Bug Fix Extra Sculptor Slot from Boom Pass is correctly avaiable Maintenance Break (March 30, 2024) Maintenance for the next Boom Pass Season Maintenance Break (March 26, 2024) Buf Fixes Mystical Monument not showing correct values UI fixes Update (Februrary 26, 2024) Campaign: Campaign becomes available at HQ 5 Campaign seasons start at the same time as Warships seasons and last until the next season starts A set of missions is unlocked each week Completing missions award progress on the reward track This reward track contains both regular and premium rewards: Regular reward track contains chests, with contents identical to Supply Chests; Players can purchase a Boom Pass to unlock premium rewards; Boom Pass holders can purchase progress on the track using gems; Rewards must be claimed before the season ends. New unique items from premium reward track: Complete Missions to get Points for the Boom Pass. Enhanced Admiral’s Key: Boom Pass contains full access to the current Warships season. This access is granted when Boom Pass is purchased, regardless of Headquarters level. New currency: Build Tokens: Build Tokens can be used to start building upgrades when the builder is busy. Sculptor gains extra slots to queue statues for sculpting: These expire at the end of the season, but assigned statues will be completed Optimizers: These come in three variations: building, unit upgrade and sculpting. They give a percentage reduction to the time required. This bonus increases as you claim more optimizers. Bonus is applied when a project starts, so it is not added retroactively to ongoing projects. Optimizer bonuses expire at the end of the season but projects started during the season enjoy full benefits even if the season ends. Skins: Once unlocked, skins are permanently available. Skin menu for the island, buildings and troops can be accessed from Headquarters. Mystical Monument: New ornamental building which becomes available at HQ 20 Each upgrade costs one of four random resources. These options can be rerolled with gems The monument has visual upgrades at levels 1,100,200,300 The monument gives random bonuses at a rate of one every 20 levels on average. These bonuses do not affect combat balance. Seasonal New decorations: During March, players can unlock a commemorative 10th anniversary statue. Anniversary Crab now features a new reward statue. Advertisements: Added the possibility to watch an ad for extra rewards when opening the daily chest in the shop. Added a beach chest. It allows a player to receive random rewards by watching an ad. Gameplay and balance changes: VP chest timer is increased to 6 hours. Streamlined HQ1 - HQ4 progress by unlocking buildings only when they become useful. UI changes: Implemented a new Warships battle HUD, which displays the state of each Engine Room separately. The engines are displayed from left to right as they are situated in the base Removed separate use button for classified items. They can now be used from the speedup popup. Unit boost multinode info now shows the stat increase gained from the boost. Fixed dark mode cloud color on the edges of the screen. Building suggestor UI fixes.

Updated Mech and CryoBombardier texts to include info about stunning and changing targets. Changes and fixes Bug fixes Building attack speed bonus now correctly applies to all buildings, previously the effect was smaller than displayed for slow firing units. Fixed building attack speed / life leech bonus being incorrectly shown on enemy buildings when the player has activated it. Fixed a case where the battle ends too early if a shielded Headquarters was being attacked by laser type damage only Fixed scores and resource amounts sometimes not being updated in the UI Fixed Mega Crab bonus reward rounding. When players had resource reward statues, displayed rewards differed from those received. Fixed battle ending before chopper spawns units if chopper is the last troop.

With this update comes a monthly Mega Crab into the monthly event schedule for Boom Beach. What is the Mega Crab? The Mega Crab is one of Dr. T’s most dastardly superweapons, a crustacean hellbent on deconstruction! It is the ultimate test of a Commander’s skill, and a great chance to earn a boatload of extra resources! Formed of seemingly endless stages, players will battle for the top spot on the leaderboard against increasingly difficult defense layouts! Each monthly Mega Crab will be a unique event, each with unique stage bonuses. Information about each Mega Crab will be available before it starts! Players can earn one of four UNIQUE trophy Decorations per Mega Crab. Awarded by the hardest trophy to gain will be the Diamond trophy (followed by Gold, Iron, and Stone). Owners of this trophy will truly show their experience as the ultimate Boom Beach Commander! As each Mega Crab will have unique trophies, once the Mega Crab is gone, the chance of earning those unique trophies are as well! NEW PROTO DEFENSES & CHANGES TO THE WEAPON LAB! Something’s stirring in the Weapon Lab… five new Proto Defenses have been added! They won’t all be immediately available however - the Weapon Lab has been updated to have a rotation of six different Prototype Defenses available to players every week! Below are the details of the first two that will be available: S.I.M.O. A Heavy with a vengeance… Betrayed by a medic on the battlefield and left with one eye, S.I.M.O. seeks out those weakest on the Battlefield. Targets low health enemies within range. Can see through smoke with the help of Infrared sensors. Sky Shield The latest in Prototype technology, this handy building sets up an impenetrable shield against Gunboat Abilities! Until it gets blown up... Sets up a defensive shield around itself, protecting all buildings under the shield from Gunboat projectiles. The shield dissipates if the generator is destroyed. NEW TRIBE BONUSES! There are now a grand total of thirteen Tribe Bonuses that will be added to the Tribes, for even more mayhem. The below boosts can (and will!) be applied to specific Troop types so expect to see some potentially explosive pairings in the future. Warriors with flame damage? Yes please!

A free Beachmas Tree decoration will also be made available for all Commanders who log in during the holiday period, and with this update you will also gain access to a temporary Gun Boat Ability - the Cryo Bomb! New Prototroops When you have reached HQ 15, you will gain access to three mysterious new tank blueprints from the Trader, codenamed ‘Prototroops’. The Trader will occasionally be selling new temporary tanks in the form of Prototroop Blueprints. You can buy 1 day worth of Prototroop blueprint access at a time, and a total of 5 days total access overall. Keep an eye out for Prototroop offers - Prototroop Blueprints will not be available at every Trader visit! There will be three different Prototroops available from the Trader, and each tank will have unique, experimental weaponry! The Trader has provided us with some information about each tank below: Lazortron Lazor Cutter: Fires a powerful lazor beam that can pass through several buildings at once. Rain Maker Make it rain!: Fires an explosive mortar shell from a long distance. Slow but steady: Very slow fire rate - don’t rely on these tanks to net you a speedy victory! Critter Cannon Critter Cannon: Launches clusters of Critters with each shot! Minesweeper: These Critters can also clear mines. The below intel applies to all versions of Prototroops: Limited Edition! Prototroops will be available for a set time limit after you have bought them, and will no longer be usable after this time expires. You can view how much time remains for Prototroop availability from the Gun Boat selection loadout. Prototroops - just like other tanks… sort of! Other than the time limit, Prototroops work like every other troop. They can be loaded onto Landing Crafts, and can be retrained if lost in an attack. Endless Reserves also works with Prototroops! Like other tanks, Prototroops cost Gun Boat Energy to launch. Auto-upgrade Technology comes pre-installed as standard! Prototroops are designed to automatically upgrade alongside your Armory level. This auto-upgrade functionality allows you to spend more time blowing things up! OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Resources from boats can now also be collected with one tap!

NEW STUFF New Power Base tactical note system for Task Forces Chat with your Task Force while spectating Operation attacks See information about your attacker's statues Several new Power Base layouts Find new wildlife on your island Female villagers New Gunboat upgrade visuals New Flamethrower upgrade visuals New, more accurate visual effect for Boom Mine explosions Tap on your Submarine's dive location while it's exploring the depths IMPROVEMENTS The Grenadier now throws faster and further, with a slightly increased grenade explosion radius (DPS remains the same) Statue boosts will pause automatically during maintenance Increased Ice Statue boost times to 10h per PP Cannons, Boom Cannons and Boom Mines no longer deal double damage to Tanks, but instead deal more damage overall Tanks do more damage and train faster, but have less health Operation Intel costs now scale according to the size of your Task Force. Sabotage price reduced (initially 3, then +2 per subsequent sabotage) Better pathfinding for all troops Gunboat ability grid when attacking is now pixel precise Recommended Task Forces now tell you why they're being recommended to you CHANGES PvP loot bonus is no longer determined by the strength of your opponent's defenses, only their total XP matters Added bonus to loot when attacking high VP players YOUR FEEDBACK If you leave a Task Force at any point during an Operation, you won't receive the OP reward, even if you re-join before the Operation finishes Officers can only kick a Task Force Member every 20 minutes You can join 10 Task Forces per day Landing Craft colors improved BUGSPLAT Turrets no longer rotate all day long Friends list will show the correct VPs for your friends Sabotage button greys out when a sabotage is happening Attacking within the '4 minute next invasion window' won't reset the timer back to 4 minutes anymore Bouncing Dr. Terror base visual glitch removed Changed the Grenadier's movement speed text from moderate to slow (no change to his in-game movement speed) You can no longer leave 1-3 NPC bases on your map to 'game' the PvP base spawns (a fully empty map always gives the best chance of new invasions, as originally intended) Maintenance Break (January 27, 2015) Bug Fixes and Balance Changes: Fix a bug with empty Task Forces. New 600+ VP matchmaking changes. Dr. Terror Time Change As Boom's player base grows, we're starting to notice a potential problem with having an event that activates for everyone at the same time - meaning a lot of players simultaneously pressing "Attack Dr. Terror Stage 1". So to keep Boom's servers running smoothly, we need to stagger the time that Dr. Terror visits your maps. Therefore, Dr. Terror's visiting hours have changed to... - 2h sooner: Japan, Korea, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia - 1h sooner: China - No change: United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico - 1h later: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Italy - 2h later: Everywhere else

2014

Version 19.56.1 (December 9, 2014) New toys: The Grenadier! A powerful ranged unit that deals area damage, rather inaccurately (available at HQ 16) Leaders and Officers can spend Intel to sabotage (destroy) random defensive buildings in Task Force operations Added a fresh batch of new Power Bases and NPC levels Gameplay improvements: Dr. Terror's Wednesday event Statues have been weakened More consistent invasions (tap here to find out more) Operations will display "too easy", "easy", "normal", "hard" or "impossible" based on your Task Force's strength Old Flare timers are hidden when a new Flare is used Gunboat ability timers don't stack on top of each other anymore After maintenance, you can't attack player bases or Resource Bases for a short while You now get one extra guaranteed Power Stone Crystal after beating Terror Stage 19 Changed VP reward to give Shards instead of Crystals (tap here to find out more) Leaving a Task Force at any point during an operation will make you ineligible for the OP reward Things that look cooler: A captured Blackguard freighter delivers your OP reward Power Core and Power Cell destruction effects have been amped up Gears and fans have been turned on in operation levels New invasion and destruction animations on the map New attack in progress animations on the operations map New look for several building upgrade levels: HQ (4, 5, 6, 17), Quarry (2, 4, 5), Iron Mine (2, 3, 5, 9), Sawmill (7, 8, 9), Sculptor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), Cannon (11) and Rocket Launcher (7) UI improvements: New invasion information can be found on the Radar info screen at level 6 (see here) Previous operations can be viewed from the operations map Activity Log now shows Dive Location spawns Visit Task Force members' bases from the chat Check out potential recruits' bases from their join requests See which Task Forces your friends are in from the Friends tab Attacker's name is now shown when watching a replay or spectating Confirmation check before committing to your Task Force attack Bonus material: Epic win sound plays when you beat an operation, Terror Stage 20 or Lt. Hammerman Maintenance Break (November 20, 2014) Bug Fixes and Balance Changes: Fix a bug where some players cannot see their Task Force or start an operation. Top 50 players will be matched a tiny bit more frequently. Server fixes/upkeep. Top 50 players will be matched a tiny bit more frequently (Will this be noticeable? Hard to say, but theoretically the #1 player's VP climb could slow down and begin to plateau). Maintenance Break (October 28, 2014) Invasion cap: We've now analysed the server stats and data since the update and there is a clear drop in invasions. It's been improving and normalising over the past few days, but not as fast as we would like. Therefore, we're increasing the invasion cap as follows: (Radar Level -> Invasion Cap) 1 -> 2 2 -> 5 3 -> 7 4 -> 9 5 -> 11 6 -> 13 7 -> 15 8 -> 17 9 -> 19 10 -> 21 11 -> 23 12 -> 24 13 -> 26 14 -> 27 15 -> 28 16 -> 30 17 -> 31 18 -> 32 19 -> 33 20 -> 34 This also means that if you were getting invasions, they'll come even faster, and if you weren't, you don't have as far to go to start getting them. As well as this, we're planning to improve the invasion system even more in the next update (not this maintenance), so that if you don't get a new invasion, your chances of getting one next time increases progressively. This should minimise the times where you can have a run of bad luck and don't get new invasions even while your map is clear. As well as this, for the next update, we want to add more clarity to how the invasion system works. Force Point decay: Daily Force Point decay increase from 1% -> 5% If you want to create a new Task Force, with the 1% decay, it could take you a very long time to challenge the leaderboards, which we think will deter people from making new Task Forces. With a 5% decay, you can create a new Task Force and challenge the leaderboards much sooner! This should make the leaderboards more competitive, and stop it from being simply a case of when you created your Task Force, but more about how well you're able to play. Intel costs: Higher intel costs, lower Force Point gains for early operations Lower intel costs, higher Force Point gains for later operations Difficulty tweaks inside an operation The current system encourages Task Forces to take on an operation as soon as they have enough intel, instead of saving up for a more appropriately challenging one. This is because the intel to Force Points ratio isn't quite right. The first step for correcting this is to re-balance the intel costs and Force Point gains for the operations. The second step, which will come in the next update, is going to give Task Forces more interesting decisions to make about how to spend their intel. Something else we're changing slightly is the difficulty range of individual Power Bases inside an operation. The strongest Power Base in an operation will be further (difficulty-wise) from the weakest, to better suit Task Forces with a more diverse range of XP levels. Version 18.121.1 (October 23, 2014) Big Stuff: Task Forces have arrived!!! Find out everything you need to know about Task Forces here: [1] Cool UI Stuff: The #1 player's gold badge gets better with age! The longer you hold the top spot, the cooler your badge will become Tap a player's gold badge to see more info Gunboat abilities have handy countdown timers where they land (thanks for this great suggestion, forumers!) Armory usability improvements Extra hint for Power Stone popover if the Sculptor hasn't been built Online warning is now a less intrusive clickable icon (this appears after being online for 4 hours in a 24 hour period) Enemy Activity no longer auto-opens when entering the map screen Neat Graphics Stuff: Possibility of rain on tropical islands Ash particles fall from the sky on volcanic islands Falling snow on ice islands Dr. Terror Got Buff Stuff: Dr. Terror has built Shock Launchers Dr. Terror now harnesses the power of Ice Statues Why are we doing this? We think Dr. Terror is too easy for a lot of high level players, who can breeze through his 20 stages in 15 minutes or less, twice a week. This gives a huge resource injection without much challenge. Dr. Terror is a worthy adversary and clearing his 20 stages should be hard. Balance Stuff: Treasure chests don't spawn as often Dive Locations spawn more often Faster invasion rate when your map is cleared (meaning you have no NPC or player bases to attack) Slower invasion rate the fuller your map gets Lower invasion cap (34 PvP/NPC bases for a fully explored Radar level 20) More info here. Shorter build times for high level building upgrades More expensive Diamond speedups (this is to balance the above point) Less expensive resource purchases with Diamonds PvP loot calculation changes: [2] Other Stuff: Many bug fixes and performance optimizations Maintenance Break: Fix a Task Force replay bug Maintenance Break (August 19, 2014) Balance Changes: Matchmaking improvements to tighten the Victory Point range you're matched with (opponents should be closer to your Victory Point score) Preparations for the Android launch in China.

Fixed Rocket Launcher damage per second info (thanks to Rudeman and others for the correction!) Gameplay and Balance Changes Trees will now randomly grow back on your home base island (thanks to Shocker and everyone else who suggested this!)

Maintenance Break (June 2, 2014) Bug Fixes and Improvements: Defense range indicators on ice islands have been improved Fixed a bug with the Shock Launcher Victory Point rewards now change!

Maintenance Break (May 30, 2014) Balance Changes: You can play and attack for as long as you want! After 4 hours online within a 24 hour period your game can be interrupted by other players attacking you.

Also, increased cost and training time Reduced Medic healing speed and amount Shock Bomb price increased to 7 from 3 and now stun an area (Rework) Version 14.57.1 (April 24, 2014) Visual upgrades New in-game Tank models are now rolling out with improved graphics, animations and effects!
