June 22^nd, 2006 (8:12pm) - NCSoft has announced that Auto Assault’s first update has gone live, as Update 1.

Update 1 features include:

* ’Über’ Missions – have a high-level character? Think you can take on the ultimate challenges of the Auto Assault world? Then sign up for Auto Assault’s ’Über Missions’! Completion of these missions gives incredible rewards...but few will make it that far. Are you up for the challenge?

* Faction Chat – Global chat for your entire race. No matter where you are, you’ll always be able to link into allies and friends for help requests or just talk smack about how you tore up Ground Zero today

* Character Re-Spec – Feel like your character is just not cutting it with the skills and stats you spent hard-earned points on? The new Character Re-Spec ability will allow you to re-spend all your points and create the character you want

* Mission Compare – Sometimes, we all need a little help with the harder aspects of post-apocalyptic life and sometimes we just want to roll deep with our buddies. Mission compare makes this easier – you’ll be able to instantly see what missions your friends have, enabling you decide which mission needs your combined attention

* Loot Linking – You just found a chassis that makes you grin from ear to ear and you want to share the stats with your friends. With loot linking, all you need to do is shift-click on the item when in chat and your friends will see every detail. Also good when trading/selling items!

* New Missions – Over 50 new missions of varied and challenging content. See new sights; explore places you never went before.
