Commanders,

The upcoming SWC update brings the release of Equipment Data Fragments, Equipment, and the Armory! In preparation, we wanted to go over each of the major release elements:

What are Equipment Data Fragments?

• Data Fragments are obtained from Supply Crates and are used to unlock and upgrade Equipment at the Armory.
• Players must collection a certain amount of data fragments before they are able to unlock Equipment.

What is the Armory?

• The Armory is new building that unlocks at HQ6 and allows players to activate unlocked Equipment.
• Players can upgrade their armory to increase the number of concurrently active pieces of Equipment.

What is Equipment?

• Equipment provides the player a bonus to the stats of the affected unit/structure along with a new “skin” or visual change.
• Equipment may be location/planet-dependent (e.g.: Snowtrooper Equipment only active during a battle on Hoth)
• Equipment is Unlocked once a Player gathers the appropriate number and type of Equipment data fragments. The unlock is permanent but the Equipment must be activated at the Armory to apply its bonus.
• Equipment is upgraded in the Research Lab with the same unique Equipment data fragments used to unlock the Equipment.
• During the upgrade time, players may not perform other upgrades at the Research Lab.
• Equipment is activated in the Armory.
• Equipment can be deactivated/activated at any time the player has access to the armory. There is no cooldown.
