Saturday Night Event! Thanks for coming to this much more impromptu and unexpected mini-event in-game everyone. It was so much fun to put on and we hope everyone enjoyed as much as we did. (For anyone who didn't make, don't worry we didn't give out items this time!) In the future after this phase of a bit more rough mini-events we'll hopefully be instilling the option of being able to select an event ping role for stuff like this. Anyways, have a great Secret Saturday night!
06.21.2021
Something is approaching the Cartoon Network Universe...
The Fusion Invasion has hit Earth like nothing else however it seems things have really been kicked up a notch with new sightings across the world. Those Fusion freaks have been seen roaming outside their lairs and some Fusion Monsters spawning suddenly in unusual places. We need to take action against this, especially since Dexter has picked up some signs of something big approaching the world combined with some... unstable issues. In the coming days, we're tasking you to follow messages being sent by field scouts in cryptic hints in-order to avoid interception. If you can find the Fusions in the world, make sure to take a picture of them and take them down. Some heroes may even join in with you on the front lines to defeat the large amount of minions or maybe even some of the Fusions! Expect things like this to trickle out over the next few days. And who knows, maybe that big thing Dexter has been suspecting is closer than we could ever imagine. Though in the mean time though, does anyone else smell something fishy?
(THIS IS AN INTERCEPTION FROM FATHER!)
"Hey, this is the one and only Father calling in from Peach Creek Estates. I wanted to remind you children that today is MY day. It'd be nice if you could help me with some things down at Delightful Developments however, some of you may already have done that. If so, nicely go Down The Lane and then to the curb. But who know's maybe if I'm in the mood I'll even have a conversation with you booger brains. Not sure how nice it's gonna be though."
06.27.2021
Thank you heroes for keeping the world safe and sound. Thanks to your efforts, you were able to destroy the roaming fusions and buy us enough time to reinforce the infected zone barriers. This will prevent any fusions and monsters alike from escaping further. This is a great victory for us.
Moving to more pressing matters, I will be holding a special conference tomorrow, 9pm GMT, at City Hall, to discuss some new developments that have appeared recently. If you don't know what time this will take place for you, check with your local time converter.
See you there heroes!
- Dexter
Subsequent description (06.27.2021)
What's up everyone! This is a reminder that the DexLabs Conference will be going on in about an hour at City Hall, specifically where The Great Machine is (seen in this photo!).
You might even see me help out today showing off something really cool! Everything will of course, go according to plan! We've planned this for a while after all.
See ya there!
06.28.2021
That's a wrap for Fusion Safari everyone! This was a fun ride and I want to thank everyone for making our first event such an enjoyable experience, especially the grand finale today at City Hall even despite all the technical difficulties that happened in the beginning.
I hope you guys also enjoyed the reveals as well as your new weapon of choice!
07.05.2021
Happy 4th of July everyone! An """amazing""" hero has decided to visit Townsville Center´s mall for a small meet and greet and celebration. Come on over!

Talk like a pirate day!
Ahoy landlubbers! Another frantic day in the Cartoon Network Universe with "Talk Like A Pirate Day" being held for any aspiring crew!

More To Come From RETROBUTION!
This war isn't over, not by a longshot! Fuse is still out there and his minions are sure to try to scare us again this year. Keep a look out for any of those green menaces and we'll see you on the battlefield!
Thank you for reading and we hope you're enjoying RETROBUTION!

Mega Fusion Echo Echo returns!
Breaking news! The deadly Fusion Mega Echo Echo has been captured once again. This gigantic fusion copy of Ben 10's supersonic alien was walking around wrecking havoc in Genius Grove late at night, but thankfully, the plumbers managed to capture and imprison it on a null void cell. According to the plumber who designed the prison, he's giving access to people who can find DNA coordinates from scattered mini Echi Echo around the Darklands. He says there are good rewards in sore!
Go find them and get those coordinates, then grab a group to face off against Fusion Mega Echo Echo!
Strange Fusion Spawns occurence in Endsville
Early today, a huge group of Fusion Spawns were spotted around Endsville. We don't quite understand why they were there, but signs point towards Runty being the cause. The spawns were dealt with, but we got no answer from Billy nor Runty.
Perhaps someone more prepared should investigate?
Fuse's Secret Plan?
Reports claim there has been a turmoil over on Fuse's front door, especially recently as more and more fusion fighters have attacked Lord Fuse head on. Perhaps there's some secret plan going on over there? Too dangerous for me to investigate.
We'll leave it up to you fusion fighters to check it out. Stay safe out there!

Pumpking Spawn infestation in the graveyard
Halloween has arrived early this year! Not only has the whole world turned pitch black thanks to a terrible curse, but Fuse has developed dangerous Pumpkin Spawn all over the Graveyard! We suspect they have a plan to steal candy from kids. How evil! It also seems like Fuse noticed how weak these guys were last time, so now they got some tougher shells to break!
Go meet with Jeff and Fred Fredburger at the gates into Eternal Vistas. They need some help with the invasion (the pumpkin invasion, that is). You might even grab some nice loot for your efforts!
Ramses' slap is Gone!
The folk over at Nowhere (that being 3 people) found something terrifying: The Gereat King Rmses' slab... is GONE!
Rumors suggest that it may be something related to Fuse, but why would he want some useless, old slab? Well, whatever it may be, it looks like Courage could use some help tracking it down.
Help Jeff!
Happy Halloween! My name's Jeff, and over there is my friend Fred Fredburger. We came here from the Underworld to go trick-or-treating, but a bunch of Pumpkin Spawns suddenly showed up and ruined it! Can you help us get rid of them?
Find us at Eternal Vistas I'll gladly reward you for your help!
Subsequent description #2 (10.18.2021)
Night of the living Weeper
The Weeper is on the loose! Thanks to a few meddling kids who decided to not heed Grim's warnings, a nightmaric beast has been unleashed at Eternal Meadows! This giant was presumed to have been slain by King Goerge of the Forever Knights, and it was sealed away in a strange bool that could trap any kind of evil, but due to the dark magic around Eternal Meadows, the beast has returned, and it won't go easy on those who disturbed it.
Be careful and bring a buddy with you to defeat this monster!
Kids continue to fight Pumpkin Spawn invasion
The spawns just keep coming! Many kids have arriving at Eternal Vistas to deal with the spawns and grab some sweet look along the wat! But it seems like this invasion won't stop anytime soon, so head out there and help out! Jeff might reward you handsomely for it too.
Hack, dash and slash with the Gem Rejuvenator!
This beautiful gem scythe is a deadly weapon that can reset the memories of other gems us used by Spinel, a forgotten gem left behind in a distant world for eons just waiting for their master to return. Using this deadly weapon, Spinel returned to earth to take revenge on the one she knew had done this to her: Steven Universe.
Now you can do the same yourself to Fuse's army with this delightful weapon!

The Balance Update
It's been a while since I have used @updates
Patch Notes:
- Guard now grants you immunity frames upon getting hit + a 30% damage reduction to melee combatants.
- Guard power no longer blocks battery drain, instead Freedom has taken that role.
- Freedom now blocks leech attacks.
- Shield type nano powers (freedom, guard and antidote) will now linger for a second after the nano is put away, this also however drains nano stamina.
- Most weapons will deal guaranteed criticals to sleeping enemies.
- Many more NPC retexturing glow ups, the most prominent being the KND operatives from numbuh one to five. All credit goes to @MicroRave and @Mr_Puppus.
- More secret shenanigans, to be revealed tomorrow so stay tuned.
SIDENOTE: These balance changes are quite experimental and will be fine tuned as time goes on. I have also not made any changes to nano power descriptions for this reason.
09.16.2022
Incoming transmission regarding the "STOP THE GROWTHS" mission!
Jack, the KND and DexLabs have considered this threat to be major, and as a result, have deployed three special relic weapons to aid you in battle.
Redeem the code of your chosen team (Adaptium, Blastons or Cosmix) to receive one of the weapons and badge signifying you as part of said team. CHOOSE WISELY as you can only redeem ONE WEAPON and join ONE TEAM per character.
- Adaptium: teamblue
- Blastons: teamred
- Cosmix: teamyellow
DexLabs informed us to KEEP YOUR BADGE IN YOUR INVENTORY as to track the scores of each growth defeated during the battle.
As the three weapons are relics, only the most worthy can wield them, however this does not stop you from participating in the event as the only real requirement are the badges in your inventory. Once the mission is over, the weapons will be removed and locked away for future important missions.
See you all in battle tomorrow!
10.16.2022
Minor Update
Patchnotes:
- Antidote will now block eruptions at the cost of the nano's entire stamina.
- Guard iframes have been halved for all weapons excluding melee weapons, the melee iframe increase only works at melee range however.
- All shield powers no longer drain stamina when the nano is put away.
- The three legendary relics have been put away along with the respective badges.

- The visuals of the Game Guide have been updated.
- Several images in the game guide featured screenshots from the Beta that didn’t represent the original game at the time of release and especially did not represent Retrobution. A good bunch of these images have been updated.
- The Game Guide’s background has been updated to feature an artwork of Computress as opposed to a 3D render.
- None of the actual information presented in the Game Guide has been edited and several images still don’t represent the game properly.

- Nanos[1]

- Courage and Coco’s retextures, which were previously in the game, were accidentally removed in Birthday Bash. That’s now been fixed. This potentially isn’t the last you’ll see for Courage however we ruled that it’s better to have some sort of updated version of him in-game instead of waiting for a what-if.

- Mac has gotten a texture update to give him more natural colors taken from concept art and the show and an updated face.

- The Clockwork Top Hat had clipping issues in the original game; it's been edited to fit better on the player's head and to minimize any bad-looking clipping.

- The adjusted drop table of the Shipwrecker will be kept a surprise for a few hours after the update; however, a separate checklist and item list document for its drops will be provided in our Discord thereafter.

Additions
- A handful of new items have been put into the Stockings! There's 7 new items in total, 4 in the Stuffed (Red) Stockings and 3 in the Well-Stuffed (Green) Stockings! Good luck.

- DexLabs and Mandark Industries are both expanding out to the eyewear business! They're both debuting with frames based off their CEO's. However, the local eyewear carrier is owned by DexLabs so they're both sold by one new Dexbot at Tech Square!
- One brand new grindable has been added to the world.
Fixes
- The Frozen Fowls and Frosty Fowls were being stingy with their green stockings, so we reminded them it's the season of giving! Frozen Fowls now drop their Well-Stuffed Stockings at the same rate as the Penguin Pestss drop Stuffed Stockings. Inside The Spire, Frosty Fowls drop guaranteed Well-Stuffed Stockings!
- Some of the new Pants and Backpacks from the stockings didn't wanna budge from your inventory to go to the trade window. These items are now tradable!
- Looks like the Mr. Smoothy cups that we were sent were from a bootleg company because they were labeled "Mr. Smoothie"! We've sorted this out and now the Mr. Smoothy weapon has the proper spelling in it's name.
- Some C.R.A.T.E. names have been edited to properly capitalize "CRATE".
- The Fusion Echo Echo C.R.A.T.E.s and Mini Fusion Echo Echo C.R.A.T.E.s previously had improper description names! The description writer will surely be fired for this blunder.

Optimizations[3]

- NPCs that are further distances away from the player will update less often. NPCs currently not in view of the player will also update at a lower rate.
- Floating display names were previously checking every loaded NPC to see if there was a clear line-of-sight to the player’s camera, now it only checks NPCs within the view cone.
- The fade-in effect for NPCs and Players was performing an expensive search function hundreds of times per second, leading to unnecessary stuttering when they appeared. This has been fixed, the search results are now cached and the fade-in interpolation only happens on every physics update.

Transportation[3]

- (Endsville → City Point. City Point → Endsville. City Station → Townsville Park. Townsville Park → City Station. Mojo’s Volcano → Tech Square. Tech Square → Mojo’s Volcano. Devil’s Bluff → Nowhere. Nowhere → Devil’s Bluff.)
- Ever thought those Monkey Minions were too slow? Mojo has decided to give you the opportunity to put your money where your mouth is, a new feature has been added to the Monkey Skyway Agents called Turbo Travel!

- Behind the scenes, we’ve increased the maximum amount of items a vendor can have from 20 to 50. No vendors in the game currently use this feature but this was done in-order for us to be able to expand on vendors such as Fashionable Fátima in the future.

Hey everybody, just to let you guys know we've fixed the drop rate for the Powdered Flart Nano Creation Item. It should now have it's proper rarity and be harder to get as it was intended.
We have plans to take care of the unintended large amount of Powdered Flarts in circulation while still having some compensation for players who have already earned a lot.
We'll be publishing a Devblog in the coming days going into more detail about this as well as how we plan to make Nanos like Panini who originate from Events available past their event dates outside of the original release of their Nano Capsule.
Subsequent description (02.16.2025)
Oops! Change I forgot to put into the patch notes until now, Oil Ogres have finally been given the helmet that they've had in their icon since the original game! Oil Ogre fans rejoice.

Retrobution v2.1 Patch - Guide Vendors and Grindables
Highlights[4]
- With the Killer Blood Gnat crisis solved, the Blood Gnat Exterminators have packed up and left Candy Cove. Flapjack and Bubbie returned to Stormalong Harbor still in search for a cure to Bubbie’s stomach ache while Johnny Bravo is once again M.I.A.
- Guide Vendors have returned from Retro! (NPCs)
- DX Vehicles are no longer locked to Level 36. (Vehicles)
- New music now plays in Tech Square (The Past) and Foster’s Home Interior. (Music)
- Most of the drops from The Future World Bosses, Don Doom and Bad Max, have been given distinct textures to make them unique items from their equivalent items in The Past. (Items)
Music[4]
- Tech Square, The Past has been given a new variation of the Science District track by our new composer, NomiiCat! We want to add unique tracks to certain areas, and this is the first step towards that.
- The inside of Foster’s Home now plays a unique track originally composed by Panman14 for FusionFall Legacy.
Areas[4]
- For Foster’s Interior music changes to work, some edits needed to be made about how the interior functions.
- Foster’s Interior is now an instance. You will still be able to see other players inside, but similar to Infected Zones, you cannot warp into it while in a group without group members being nearby, and you cannot use your vehicles inside.
- If you log out in Foster’s Interior, you’ll be booted out to outside Foster’s Home upon logging in again.
- If you last logged out on a character in Foster’s Interior, you’ll find yourself in a version of the interior without any NPCs, including the warp Key to get out. To leave, you must warp to someone in your Friends List or use the Warp Away button in the menu.
Vehicles[4]
- To be competitive in the very non-monopolistic, very competitive vehicle rental market, Kevin’s Hot Rod Rentals now offers DX Vehicles to non-Level 36 players!
- DX Vehicle counterparts of regular vehicles will now be the same level as the regular version.
Nanos[4]
- The descriptions for several items related to various aspects of Nanos (Gumballs, Power Items, and Potions) were just the name of the item themself again, and in some Power Items cases, they even used the internal name of the power instead of the actual final one. These have all been revamped to better explain the mechanics of the items and their uses.
- Power Item names used to not have the first letter of the power capitalized (i.e. “dash Power Item” instead of “Dash Power Item”). This has been fixed.
- Additionally, the Health Power Item was named “heal” instead of “Health”, the proper power name; this is now fixed.
NPCs[4]
- Flapjack, Bubbie, Johnny Bravo and the Blood Gnat Exterminators have all left Candy Cove.
- Flapjack and Bubbie have returned to Stormalong, still in search of a cure for Bubbie’s stomach ache.
- Johnny Bravo’s whereabouts are unknown, but we can only assume he’s trying to hit on somebody.
- The Blood Gnat Exterminators have considered their operations a success and have gone back to whatever else they do while a Blood Gnat attack isn’t happening. (We don’t think this happens often enough for it to be their day job).
- Guide Vendors have returned from Retro with a revamped system!
- There’s now only one Guide vendor per Guide, and they all reside near the Guide they represent in the game world.
- You can buy items you have completed the missions for. If you try buying an item you haven’t earned from a Guide mission, it’ll give you an error message.
- In our previous update, we introduced some visual changes to the Monkey Skyway Agent and Mojo’s Minions. We’ve evaluated the changes again and have edited their visors again to bring it even closer to the game’s original promo artwork!
- Apart from this, their textures have also been slightly edited.
- The Fosters’ Front Door NPCs that warped you in and out of Foster’s Home Interior previously didn’t have any icons. They’ve been given a new key icon now!
- Several generic NPCs had different issues with them that have been resolved.
- Several of them were missing ears, this is now fixed.
- Some generic NPCs with the Princess hairstyle had the incorrect texture, but that’s now been fixed.
- We are very well aware that there are still some generic NPCs out there with unresolved issues. We’ll be looking into rolling out more fixes in future updates as well as looking into the possibility of polishing some hNPCs further.
- Time Squad Officer James at Goat’s Junkyard has been given a unique icon. He was previously using an Urban Ranger icon that didn’t represent his outfit. We’ll be looking at more generic NPC icon updates in the future as a part of possible polish updates.
UI[4]
- The image asking if you’re sure if you’d like to travel to the Past has been updated to use artwork instead of 3D model renders that featured outdated textures.
Items[4]
- The Don Doom, Bad Max, and Super Slayer sets have all gotten retextures to make them unique as they were originally carbon copies of items from The Past.
- The Don Doom Scouter has been retextured to pair with the Super Slayer set. We’ll be looking into potentially editing its name and description in a later update.
- The following items have been adjusted to stop clipping issues and look better on players:
- Delightful Football Helmet
- Dodgeball Helmet
- Masked Mumbler Helmet
- All 4 Dynamo Helmets (Boys)
- Eightball Fireball Cannon
- Mask of the Beast
- Samurai Helmet
- The following items have had their transparent materials adjusted to improve their look in different lighting conditions.
- Mock 5 Helmet
- Dodgeball Helmet
- Underwater Diving Helmet
- F.R.A.P.P.E. weapon line
- S.P.I.C.E.R.
- The Heartmo backpack originally tried to be too much like its cousin, the BMO Backpack, and refused to be sold to vendors. We’ve straightened this out, and you’ll be able to sell it now.
- The Numbuh Two Flight Helmet had a small typo where an ‘ was a ? for some reason. This is now fixed.
- The Alien Plush Pack was erroneously Level 29, it’s now been fixed to be Level 24 (the level of its main giver, the Overcharged Megawhatts).
- The Tribal shirts on boys, for some reason, did not have Toon Shaded shadows on them; this has now been fixed.
- Grindables.
- More info someday.
Bug Fixes[4]
- When dashing onto a jump pad, it wouldn’t send you up at all until you got off it. This has been fixed, and jump pads should properly function when being dashed onto.
- A strange power interaction would happen with the Rocket Nano power with the Jump boost from either Jump - Group or Jump coco eggs where they would increase Rocket's height. This could be exploited to reach unintended heights. This is now fixed.
- Strangely, Nano Panini demanded Scavenge power items to switch to her Health - Self ability! DexLabs has taken a look into and resolved the issue.
- It looks like a Mandroid made a mistake, and Dash would show Recall - Group’s reticle still if you had a Nano with the power out while in a group. DexLabs has fixed this and vowed never to delegate similar jobs to Mandark Industries ever again.
- Panini’s Stun description had a typo, oops!
- Amidst all the Nano Power changes, it seems like Nano Prof. Utonium got a bit confused and thought his Sleep - Cone power was Sleep - Area as it was displaying the wrong icon. We’ve cleared up the confusion, and the icon is properly Sleep - Cone’s now.
- The Powerpuff Hotline Handbag was pointing to the incorrect texture for the nose, this is now fixed.
- The adjustments to items made in the last update were not correctly applied, this has now been fixed.
- The Monkey Skyway Agent that would carry you to your destination didn’t get the “visuals update” memo and was still using his old visor and jetpack gear. He’s now been equipped with the proper upgrades and has the other Monkey Skyway Agents' changes.
- The text messages in missions where you collect items from defeated enemies will not show up if UI scaling is enabled. (ex. The Ball-Peen Meanie had / did not have: Sugar) This is now fixed.
- NPC chat bubbles would sometimes disappear / not appear in the last update, this has now been fixed.
Known Issues[4]
- The DX Plank Hoverboard is still Level 36. We think he’s being stubborn.
- GUI scaling may make the UI too big on non-widescreen resolutions (ex. 4:3). We plan on introducing a more fine-grained adjustment for this later.
- The Toxic Spawns currently have a bug where the first time you zipline with them equipped, your player will be raised above the zipline and ride air.
- When opening nano capsules, sometimes the camera will be very far away, making voice lines inaudible.

Retrobution v2.1.1 - Guide Vendors & Grindables Fixes
- Something we had intended to push with v2.1 was lowering the level of the Bad Max and Super Slayer items to Level 4 as we felt like it no longer made sense for them to be Level 5 seeing as they don't need to be teasers for a subscription like they were in the original game. This has now been done as well as all their stats have been lowered to that of Level 4 as well.
- Nano Utonium's "Prof. Protection" ability is now displayed as Sleep - Area like intended.
- Oil Ogres have had their skull hats returned again.
- Fixed the updated jetpack flames on Monkey Skyway Agents being reverted to it's original state pre-v2.0
- Fixed the level of one of the grindables.
- Two of the grindables in the update were accidentally extremely easy to get when they were actually meant to be harder than normal grindables. Oops! That's been fixed now.
- The Devil's Bluff --> Nowhere and Nowhere --> Devil's Bluff routes were accidentally unavailable for a time. The Monkey Skyway Agency has now started offering it again.
- The Plank Hoverboard and Zoomulus Cloud's DX versions were still Level 36, now they're properly Level 10 and 4 respectively.
- Two typos in the Mission "Into the Vortex" were fixed.
- A duplicate Potions Vendor was accidentally in Megas' Last Stand. He's been escorted off the premises.

Retrobution v2.1.2 Patch - Easter E.G.G.E.R.
The Easter E.G.G.E.R returns! Buy Easter E.G.G.s and try your luck at unboxing exclusive seasonal items and some new treats!
Four new Ultra Rares have been added to the E.G.G.s drops. Good luck!
05.18.2025
Retrobution v2.1.3 Patch - More Easter E.G.G.E.R. items!
We've made a few more Easter related additions!
Items[5]
- Several new items have been added to the Easter E.G.G.E.R.s drop pool.
- The items in the Bunny Dynamo set have been removed from their position as a grindable Ultra Rare set to be put back in the Easter E.G.G.E.R. like in Retro.
- All items in the set have also been scaled back down to Level 4.
- We plan on adding more items to normal drops in future updates to replace these items as well as generally add more onto the normal world.
- 3 new grindables.
- Each Dynamo Helmet strangely has an exact duplicate in the game files! Icons in the files also suggest that at some point each Dynamo Helmet design was their own item. We’ve decided to restore this in this update. This applies to the Bunny Dynamo Helmet as well
- Even though these two items were previously indistinguishable, for some reason in the mob drops both were used for different mobs. Due to this, you may have your Dynamo Helmet either turn into the Rowdyruff or Powerpuff version in-game depending on where it originally dropped.
| MOBS/C.R.A.T.E.s THAT CAN DROP EACH DYNAMO VARIANT | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rowdyruff Green Dynamo | Powerpuff Green Dynamo | Rowdyruff Blue Dynamo | Powerpuff Blue Dynamo | Rowdyruff Red Dynamo | Powerpuff Red Dynamo |
|
|
| |||
Missions[5]
- The Dexter Guide Mission Bad Nukes has been edited to have both variations of the Red Dynamo Helmet given as a reward. The last line said by Blossom in the mission has been changed to reflect this.
- If you’ve already completed this mission, you can go to the Dexter Guide Vendor in Tech Square to buy the missing helmet.
- Two objective texts about going to the Nuclear Plant infected zone have been changed from referring to it as “the plant infected zone” to “Nuclear Plant infected zone” to match other missions as well as to be more clear.
- Objectives in missions that referred to Foster’s Home have been changed to Wilson Way to match the name change. (i.e. “Go to Foster’s Home” → “Go to Wilson Way”)
- Dialogue in the Nano Project missions given by Ranger Joey have also been slightly tweaked to point out that the map square name is Wilson Way while still referencing that it’s where Foster’s Home is.
Areas[5]
- To better fit with the names of other map squares in the game, Foster’s Home has been renamed to Wilson Way.
- This change is also reflected within the Monkey Skyway UI.
Bug Fixes[5]
- The Bunny Ears item no longer has the bug on the zipline where your character will be misplaced under certain circumstances.
Known Issues[5]
- The Powerpuff version of the Dynamo Helmets already had clipping issues however on boy characters the issue is more apparent. This is planned to be fixed.

Retrobution v2.1.4 Patch - Easter event ended
The Easter E.G.G.E.R. has been removed, it will return next Easter!
10.26.2025
Retrobution v2.2 - Halloween Spooktacular 2025
Highlights[6]
- Eternal night has returned to the Cartoon Network Universe as Halloween is back! (Happy Halloween)
- A new Event Nano is now available in the game, Jack O'Lantern from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy!
- Several new items have been added to the game, accessible through the Halloween Event!
- Preview v3.0 vehicle speeds with a brand-new Halloween Event Vendor selling new vehicles!
Happy Halloween[6]
- Halloween returns! Go to Eternal Vistas to participate in the main event.
- Grind Pumpkin Spawns and their big brother the Jumbo Pumpkin Spawns to snag some snazzy Halloween treats!
- Jeff and Fred Fredburger have returned from probation to celebrate Halloween with us topsiders! Too bad they brought back the Pumpkin Spawns and Jumbo Pumpkin Spawns back... at least all the treats from last year and some new ones this year are here to farm! Law moves slower in the underworld than it does on the surface.
- A new Event Nano has appeared! Jack O'Lantern from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is now available to create if you’re able to earn the Prankster's Feather Nano Creation Item from Pumpkin C.R.A.T.E.s.
- A brand-new event vehicle vendor has been placed at the gates of Eternal Vistas bringing with them some exclusive event vehicles as well as a preview of the v3.0 updates[sic] vehicle speeds!
- For the duration of Halloween, Croc Pots and Croc Pot vendors are now dressed up for the occasion.
- The Halloween ambience this year has been updated in-order to give it a more unique flair and to improve visibility.
- The sky textures have been adjusted to let color be applied to it better.
- The moon texture has been adjusted and turned green to give it a more Fuse-y look reminiscent of the Ben 10: Omniverse Halloween special.
- The ambience of the sky has been given a purple hue and a brighter look than last year to help visibility and give it a new look.
Nanos[6]
- Jack O'Lantern from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is now available as a brand-new Event Nano! Unlock him by using the Prankster's Feather creation item in your inventory.
- He's a Cosmix Nano with the following abilities
- Tickle Tickle (Sleep - Area)
- Last Laugh (Snare - Cone)
- Don’t Lose Your Head (Revive - Self)
- He's a Cosmix Nano with the following abilities
- The text in the Nano page of your inventory describing the acquisition method for Event Nanos has been changed in-order to specify the item required to create the Nano.
- Previously, if you used either the Yes or Okay emotes with your Nano out, they would play the same animation. However, we discovered an unused "thumbs-up" animation for the majority of Nanos. This unused animation will now be the animation that plays when using the Yes emote with a Nano out in-order to better match the player animation.
- The typo in Humungousaur's name has finally been fixed after 15 years. More information in the UI section.
- In a previous update, we pushed a large amount of text edits to Nano Power descriptions in-order to better describe certain abilities as they worked in Retrobution. Apart of these edits, description changes to Recall - Self Nanos were accidentally pushed, describing a rework that did not make it to the live game. We’re sorry for any confusion this caused and their descriptions have been reverted back to their original ones from Retro for the time being.
Items[6]
- Over 20 new items have been added to the game, available through Pumpkin C.R.A.T.E.s and Weeper C.R.A.T.E.s.
- Some item positions have been moved around.
- Stygian Quills have been moved from being a Weeper drop into being a Pumpkin C.R.A.T.E. drop. It’s harder to get than a normal Ultra Rare item.
- Grim's Scythe has been moved from being a Weeper drop into being a Pumpkin C.R.A.T.E. drop.
- The Solomon Hat has been moved from Weeper into a new, permanent spot at the Level 10 Jerk O'Lanterns in Endsville, similar to the original FusionFall Retro. Unlike Retro, every Jerk O'Lantern has a chance to drop a C.R.A.T.E. containing the item and the drop rate is much more forgiving.
- A fix meant for v3.0 has been pushed early to go along with all the other Billy & Mandy content this update! The Underfist Pants originally had a big, ugly red Mandark M on them despite the icon not featuring anything like that. As such, we've removed the M so that the original intention of the design could be restored.
- While we were at it, we also decided to update the icon of the Underfist Pants.
- Several new Halloween vehicles are available now through a newly placed Event Vendor at Eternal Vistas this year. They’re a bit more expensive than standard DXs however they preview the speed changes coming in v3.0 by being 1,500 Class! Although v3.0 vehicle physics aren’t in the game yet, we hope you enjoy this preview at how fast you'll all be going soon.
- A few items have gotten texture updates.
- The regular Rune Sword now has a blue gem instead of green to differentiate it more from the Possessed Rune Sword.
- The Gwimbly Shirt and Pixel Heart Polo both lacked proper shadows on their textures, this has been fixed.

Player[6]
- The animation that plays when you Dash now changes based on the weapon type you’re holding. This includes a new animation for Dashing with Rockets while in the air, Dashing with Pistols while on the ground and Dashing with Rifles while on the ground and air. This change was originally slated for v3.0 but has been pushed early to coincide with bug fixes to Dash this update. (see Bug Fixes)
Mobs[6]
- You may remember that last Knishmas, Spawns were given the ability to wear various Santa Hats for the season. We've expanded on this system for use in the main game as well as with expanded functionality for events and as such several changes relating to this has come in this update.
- During Halloween, Fusion Spawns and Dexbots will now wear various hats from the Halloween Event.
- We've permanently rebranded the Sneaky Spawns and Super Sneaky Spawns in Candy Cove to Swashbuckler Spawns and Captain Spawns in-order to better fit the area. As such, you'll see a handful of them running around with pirate bandanas and captain hats using textures made for FusionFall Legacy.
- The Fusion Spawn has received an updated icon to match with the Swashbuckler Spawns icon.
- Fusion Grim and Fusion Him have received updated textures with altered colorings to improve their looks and fit with the brand new items based on them.
NPCs[6]
- Larry 3000's size has been adjusted to better fit with Coop's height and better fit with the intended heights of Otto Osworth and Buck Tuddrussel.
UI[6]
- The Nano platforms/info boxes in your inventory screen and Nano Station UI have been adjusted to allow space for longer names for Nanos. This change was made to accommodate Jack O'Lanterns[sic] addition in addition to allowing us to fix the name of Humungousaur's Nano as well as to allow us to have a bit more breathing room for future Nano additions.
- The checkbox for Turbo Travel was changed from a filled in checkbox to a checked check box texture to be a bit more in-line with how a checkbox is used in the Settings menu.
- A sound now plays when you click the Turbo Travel checkbox.
Bug Fixes[6]
- An issue where alt-tabbing while jumping or Dashing would send you further in the air/further ahead has been patched.
- An interaction with emotes and Dashing that would cause your player to contort in unintended ways has been patched.
- The issues with the first release of the Mission Finder feature have been resolved. All NPCs should now correctly display on the map, including Event NPCs properly being listed.
- In a previous update, Foster's Foyer was changed to be an instanced area but it looks that made the NanoCom finicky. If you tried using the Warp Away command while inside, you'd somehow get sent to Nano Runty's Fusion Lair! DexLabs has sent out a firmware update to resolve this issue.
- The character wheel first name "Agent" had a space for some reason after it, this has been fixed.
Known Issues[6]
- In this update, we’ve added a new Toon Shaded rimlight shader in the game that works with turning the Toon Outline off in settings. However, the Possessed Rune Sword which we’ve previously added and also uses rimlight is currently broken with Toon Outline off, this will be fixed in a future update.
- Update: 11:29 AM PST - The Friends List is currently bugged. We’re looking into a solution.
Special Thanks[6]
- Thank you to Devan Baker/Wiltilt for creating the Monster Mummy set, Weird Welder set, Him set and Grim set for Retrobution to use!
- Thank you to Mirage for the design of the Grim Enforcer set!
