Hotfix — 2026-05-25
NERF
Mechs - Heart of the Machineⓘ
Chances to upgrade into gold heart, and the chance rises with your courier level
TAC Explainedⓘ

With 6 Mech units, winning a home round no longer guarantees the golden rolls. It's now a chance based, and the odds scale with courier level:

Courier levelGold Heart chance
≤ 50%
625%
750%
875%
9+Guaranteed

Failed rolls you still return the normal Heart of the Machine (a free reroll).

Evidence
  • VPK

    scripts/vscripts/addon_game_mode.lua (home-win loot handler): at the (6) tier the drop is gated by prob = (hero:GetLevel()-5)*0.25, then if RandomFloat(0,1) < prob grants item_jixiezhixin_gold, else item_jixiezhixin.

    hero:GetLevel() is the courier level.
