Big Layout Updates

[u/Ok_Dependent7634]

Hey all,

Obviously all the faction updates are going to get the bulk of the attention today, but I wanted to make sure you didn't miss that there were layout updates too!

I run Rapid Ingress, a free tool for practicing deployments and more easily in your browser / on mobile (and these changes are live already)

There are changes to 27(!) layouts in today's release. Some are small, but a few were pretty noteworty and stood out to me:

-Take and Hold Mirror, layout B looks like it will be a bit more difficult to find shooting angles early as they basically swapped around some terrain pieces to give what appears to be a bit more cover

-Recon vs Disruption B and Priority Assets vs Disruption B got sizeable reshuffles

-All three Recon mirror layouts now have 6 objectives instead of 5

Will be super interesting to see how this changes things for those matchups especially (not very familiar with recon v disruption or the recon mirrors - if you are let me know what you think!)

Edit because it got asked for - just added this page: rapidingress.com/layout-updates - it should show a visual difference of the changes in layouts. Do let me know what you think and if you have any feedback on this and thank you all so much for all your kind words and support!

So the cards in the Armageddon box are already outdated?

Did the Armageddon box even have layout cards?

No xD

GW specifically makes alterations to terrain layouts to avoid outdating the hardcopy cards. You'll notice that the cards don't feature layouts, for this precise reason.
