MAIN CHANGES
:fire~1: Introduction of Skins
• Each skin is a set of 7 pieces: helmet, armor, gloves, pants, shoes, backpack, and robot.
• Skins can be applied over any armor and come in rarities ranging from 0 stars to 3 stars. The starting skins (0 star) will be available for free or through crafting, while the most powerful ones (3 stars) will be accessible via limited sales or unique events.
• Most of the skins can be Quantum tunned! The number of stars determines how many Quantum Tuning options a skin part can have: 0 stars: No QT available. 3 stars: Up to 3 different QT options per part.
• Skins are stored in a wardrobe (feature to be released shortly after Season 8 begins). One wardrobe per NBM account: All clones share the same wardrobe.
Once a skin is equipped by one clone, it becomes unavailable to others until unequipped.
• The wardrobe is permanent: Skins are not erased at the end of seasons.

⭐ Loyalty program
Shadow Depths supporters can now redeem powerful rewards!
Each season, if you buy a pass, you can build a powerful streak and collect rewards. The more seasons you play, the bigger the rewards! Rewards amplify with each additional season you purchase a pass for.

This season also introduces exciting new features, including robots and pets! For more details, check out the log!

Even better: each clone can build his own streak!

Note: All previous seasons played account for 50% of the total streak. For example, if a player bought a pass for all seasons, including this one, they will start their streak at level 4.

TL;DR: S8 Pre-sale: Dec 26 — Jan 1. Season Start: Jan 2. Main changes: Skins with QT + Loyalty program
