This post will prepare you for what is in store as part of the patch as well as what you should expect going into it. ##### 15-Year Anniversary Event Better late than never! To celebrate 15-Years of APB: Reloaded we’re introducing the 15-Year Anniversary event role, packed to the brim with Joker Tickets and exclusive Titles. Additionally log in between now and the 13th of August to earn the "Ladder Climber" Title as a login reward! ##### Gamersfirst Anti-Cheat (GFAC) This patch also introduces our in-house Anti-Cheat GFAC - This project has been months in the making and we’re extremely happy to finally get it out the door so we can start tackling the cheating problem head on. GFAC is made entirely in-house and it has been a significant project. We are dedicated to improving it until we’re satisfied with the results - However, this is entirely new tech and after weeks of testing we are at the stage where we can only move forward by releasing the Anti-Cheat and tackling issues as they occur which could mean that things may be bumpy for the first week or two as we weed through any issues that get reported. We wouldn’t have been able to get this fair without the help of some very dedicated community members, and now its up to you to jump in and help us push it forward. While we’re going to be watching GFAC closely we would also like to urge all of you to let us know about any issues related to GFAC that you encounter so we can fix said issues them as soon as possible in the dedicated “GFAC Known Issues” thread on both Discord and the Forums! ##### Leaderboards (Beta) Todays patch also adds our new Leaderboard System with its first season official starting on the 1st of August! This is another entirely new system for APB. With that in mind, August is our Leaderboards Beta phase. While we feel we have built something extremely versatile, we need to experiment with what works and what doesn’t over the next few months. We plan to move out of the Leaderboards Beta phase in early 2026 so that we can expand on the system with the things we learned. Again, this is where you can help us! Feedback will shape this system into being the best it can possibly be so you have any please make sure to submit it in the official Leaderboards feedback threads on both the Forum and Discord! **IMPORTANT PSA:** If you are using a config that uses an edited “DefaultEngine.ini” file you will need to either repair your game and redo your DefaultEngine.ini changes in the new file provided or manually edit your existing file and add the following in your [Engine.DataStoreClient] array: +GlobalDataStoreClasses="APBUserInterface.cUIDataStore_Leaderboard” **Not doing so will result in a game crash when opening the Leaderboards UI!** ##### Premium Todays release also marks the release of our revamped Premium service offering new rewards. You can read all about it in our dedicated blog post from a few weeks ago (https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2025/6/28/premium-2025) but here is a short summary: The new Premium subscription will cost $4.99 / 500 G1C, and here are the new benefits: - Receive 1500 Joker Tickets each month ($3 in value) - Up to a 30 percent bonus to all Contact Standing (XP) gains - 125 percent bonus to all APB$ (in-game currency) gains - 20 Percent discount on most items in the ARMAS Marketplace - Access to the Premium ARMAS Vault containing three items rotating Bi-Weekly such as Items usually only found during sales or items with an increased Premium discount - Use your Clan name as your character Title - And more perks coming in the future like Premium Leaderboards with special rewards Additionally Players that had premium prior to Premium becoming free will have that premium amount reinstated - If you did not have your Premium days reinstated please contact Customer Support by Emailing “support@littleorbit.com”! ##### 15-Year A _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/113400/view/659333607535411938]_
