Gundam Battle Operation 2 is celebrating its one year anniversary in a big way as the recent update has released, bringing in a ton of free gifts and content.

The anniversary update (1.14) weights roughly 1.2GB and comes pack with a bunch of freebies. The event will run from now, until August 29th and will allow players the opportunity to complete in limited missions, and earn clan bonuses along with other content that you can read up below. Gundam Battle Operation 2 is a free-to-play sequel to the first, available exclusively on PS4. As of right now the game is currently only available in Japan, but it does offer an English translation in the game settings. The game is slated to release later this year in the US and Europe, though no exact date has been announced

First order of freebies is the 39 free tokens you get for logging in during the anniversary. These tokens can be used at the lottery station in exchange for a chance at a randomized Unit, character suit piece, or unit weapons/upgrades, though we suggest you take advantage of the current step event, which improves your chances of obtaining certain banner suits and is also currently at a 50% discount for the first step (15 tokens rather than 30). With the anniversary event the first step also has a 72 hours bonus boost which guarantees one of the currently featured banner units. Do be careful and make sure you use those tokens on the right lottery, as I made the mistake in wasting 30 tokens on the regular 10 roll lottery.  And speaking of 10 rolls, for the next 5 weeks the game is giving out 1 ten roll a week for absolutely free!

Now moving on to the other content found in this anniversary update, upon logging on you’ll also be given the following units for free. If you’ve had them prior to this event they’ll be converted over into recycle and mechanic tickets, which you can spend at their respective shops.

Shuffle Target

Similar to the Mode “ACE”, Shuffle Target selects a random player from both team to be the targeted suit. Each team must defend their own while going after the other, and after a certain amount of time the target will swap to a different player, something that doesn’t happen in ACE mode. Destroying the target will grant that team 3 times the score that they would normally get for killing that cost unit. NO details on whether a target destroying an enemy also multiples the score like it does in ACE mode.
