Gladiators: Survival in Rome just got an exciting update, Version 1.28.0, which was released on October 16, 2023. In this new season, called Season 3 of the Battle Pass, players can expect lots of changes and improvements. One significant change is that they’ve replaced the keys in the Battle Pass rewards with treasure chests. These chests can be opened from your inventory, and if you have any keys from previous seasons, you can still use them on the treasure chests in your villa. Additionally, a special Halloween event with extra rewards is on the way later this month.
The game has also introduced something called “Auto-Mode.” Now, when searching and gathering items within a small area, the locations will automatically use this mode. It’s more convenient and ensures that characters in your villa don’t continuously gather water or clay. Auto-Mode has been enhanced in specific areas like the Hunting Grounds, Pine Forest, Colosseum, and more. In the Colosseum, the target selection has been improved, allowing Auto-Mode to focus on ranged foes, and you can even browse your inventory while in this mode. Lastly, the Alchemy system has seen some changes, with potions now categorized into short-term and long-term effects, and new potions that boost armor, critical damage, and gathering speed. You can also merge two potions into a potent variant using the Philosopher’s Stone, which can be found near Nucretius. These updates bring a lot of fresh and exciting changes to the game for players to enjoy.
Gladiators: Survival in Rome Update 1.28.0 Patch Notes
Battle Pass: Season 3
- Welcome to the new season of the Battle Pass launching this month. With this month’s theme, alongside balance tweaks and numerous enhancements, you can mine the Ethereal Guide armor set.
- The keys in the Battle Pass rewards have been replaced by treasure chests, which you can open from your inventory. The treasure chests in your villa will remain for the time being for those who haven’t used all their keys from previous seasons.
Note: A Halloween event with extra rewards will launch later this month.
Auto-Mode
- All locations now default to Auto-Mode settings for searching and gathering within a small radius, as before. Additionally, the small radius applies to the Villa, ensuring characters don’t continuously gather Water or Clay.
- The enhanced algorithm (with a larger radius) will feature in the following areas: Hunting Grounds, Pine Forest, All Hollowstone Locations, Colosseum, and Etruscan Tomb.
- Within the Colosseum, the target selection radius is increased, enabling Auto-Mode to focus on ranged foes. Plus, browsing your inventory during Auto-Mode is back.
Alchemy
- Potions are now categorized into short-term (Combat) and long-term (Elixirs) effects. Elixirs offer a lasting boost, while Combat potions provide a powerful but brief effect. These effects won’t overlap but will supersede previous ones.
- New potions boosting armor, critical damage, and gathering speed will debut.
- Brewing potions will need world-found ingredients. Nucretius will trade empty vials for Colosseum coins and provide the Philosopher’s Stone to merge two potions into a potent variant. Use the Mystic Cauldron near Nucretius for these combinations.
Food and Cooking
- Starting with Mushroom Soup, eating cooked food not only restores stamina but also temporarily increases your maximum stamina. This stamina boost stacks with different food types but replaces the same food type’s buff. Additionally, you can now use Raw Meat for stamina restoration while out in the fields; however, please note that it cannot be stored in the resource warehouse.
- Cooking is simplified, demanding just one culture point and an extra ingredient, and the Burned Clay Bowl has been reintroduced. Moreover, dishes like porridge will slightly enhance stamina restoration.
Locations
- Forests that reset upon entry, e.g., Hunting Grounds and Pine Forest, have undergone several modifications.
- The overall number of enemies has been decreased, and some will now launch ambush attacks on the player. This is done to enhance the exploration experience of these locations, infusing them with more dynamics and combat scenarios.
- The Tunnels of the Hollowstone Mine remain unchanged.
