"Boom Beach," the strategy video game from developer Supercell, has released the March update for iOS and Android devices.
Supercell had teased the March update on its official forum and Facebook page. The new update will add HQ 22, Statue Storage, Ranks, Supply Chest and more. As reported in our previous story, "Boom Beach" will receive new upgrades for not only defences but also for Troops and Gunboat abilities with the HQ 22.
Players will be able to store statues in Statue Storage and now, based on the victory points, players will be getting military ranks, where each rank has three sub ranks. Additionally, players can make five attacks to claim a Supply Chest, thus rewarding them after they finish five such attacks.
The update will add a short delay after the troops have died, which will allow gunboat. The players will now be able to name their base layouts. Now, Gearheart will let players to attack five times instead of three.
The game also brings a lot of bug fixes like Scorcher blasting the Headquarters and many more fixes. Improvements are brought to Task Force searches.
Though some of the players have already received it, some may have to wait for it. Players must note that if the game goes into "Maintenance Break," then Supercell is in the process of adding the March update.
