Update 4.0.3
In this update, which launched earlier this week, we improved the scoreboard based on community feedback and we will continue to iterate further to make it even more awesome!
Ammo bars were added for characters that use ammo-mechanics and the new visual help notifications for skills can be enabled/disabled in the settings. Check out the full patch notes on our forum

New ‘Naut
An old newspaper was flying around in space and the readers discovered that a group of space mercenaries escaped from prison on Carcaco back in 3584! The new ‘Naut joining the game in Update 4.1 might have something to do with their breakout!

Workshop highlight
In Squadnauts by CationF , every player will spawn with the same ‘Nauts following them (Lonestars spawn Lonestars, Clunks spawn Clunks, etc).
They have a special custom AI and will follow you wherever you go, meaning you can have huge battles with lots of characters on screen!
