2023 Little Orbit Day

APB: Little Orbit Anniversary

Five years ago, APB: Reloaded entered a new era with Little Orbit. We have embraced the challenge and the possibilities of this promising title, and we are now, perhaps more than ever, inspired to keep improving it and see it thrive! With a lot of progress made recently, we felt like there is an especially good reason to mark the APB: Reloaded Acquisition Anniversary this year.

On May 11th, we will be celebrating Little Orbit Day. We have prepared many in-game events and deals that will be available for a limited time only, so here is your chance to take part in the festivities!

We Have a Deal

Starting May 11th, 1 PM (UTC), all ARMAS items will be available for purchase at 10% off the regular price. This sale will also include all of the available holiday-themed packs, as well as the STAR 556 ‘LCR’ “Old Glory”, the STAR 556 ‘LCR’ PR2 and Colby SNR 850 PR1! There is a limited time to get your hands on the goods, so get ready to seize this opportunity. The sale will conclude on May 16th, 5 PM (UTC). This way, we will effectively cover all the time zones, so make sure you do the math and do not miss it in yours!

Putting On Our Best Suit

No time like celebration to time to try out some new visuals! We are deploying a new launcher for APB from May 11th til May 16th, and our colors of choice will be Little Orbit's traditional white and blue scheme.

And Action!

As for the most exciting part of the event, we will have loads of in-game activities:

• Joker Ticket Minigames, led by GMs and Little Orbit staffers, will be available throughout the day in action districts!
• The daily Joker Ticket cap from minigames will be raised to 500 JT for the duration of the event.
• We are enabling "The Beacon" from May 11th to May 17th! It will function under the standard Fight Club ruleset. During the event, minigames will be disabled in the Fight Club, to promote a classic Beacon experience. Additionally, Asylum will also be disabled throughout the specified days.

Just because we are celebrating, doesn't mean the work stops! Instead, we will use this fantastic opportunity for a little experiment: We will downsize the smaller two Fight Club maps (The Beacon and Baylan Shipping Storage) from 20vs20 to 16vs16. Depending on how these changes perform during the event, upon its conclusion, we will either keep them or revert the changes the following week. (NOTE: Asylum will be kept at its 20v20 population count regardless of the outcome.)

And finally, we're giving you something to bring home as a souvenir from Little Orbit Day 2023. event. All you have to do is log in from May 11th til May 16th to obtain the unique title "Sphere Cultist" in Little Orbit's signature colors (white and blue), along with 200 Joker Tickets. Note that the title and the additional Joker Tickets will be obtainable only on this specific day!

Five years ago, APB: Reloaded entered a new era with Little Orbit. We have embraced the challenge and the possibilities of this promising title and more than ever, inspired to deliver more innovation to our community. With a lot of progress made recently, such as 64 bit Support & EAC, we felt like there is an especially good reason to mark the APB: Reloaded Acquisition Anniversary this year.

Thank you all for sticking with us throughout, there’s so much more to come from our roadmap. Join us in this celebration and take advantage of our LO Day Anniversary event starting May 11th.

From all of us at Little Orbit, here's to many more years to come. Cheers!
