Squad Busters is eliminating its win streak system, ending the relentless climb for extra rewards. This change, effective December 16th, aims to reduce pressure on players. While the streak feature is being removed, your highest win streak will remain as a profile achievement. Players reaching certain milestones (0-9, 10, 25, 50, and 100 wins) before the cutoff date will receive exclusive emotes as compensation. However, coins spent on win streaks will not be refunded, a decision aimed at maintaining game balance. Player reaction is mixed, with some welcoming the reduced emphasis on "pay-to-win" mechanics and others expressing disappointment with the compensation.

Beyond this change, Squad Busters' new Cyber Squad season is now live, featuring numerous rewards, including a free Solarpunk Heavy Skin. Players are encouraged to explore the new season's content.
