According to recent analysis followed by 12BET Malaysia readers, the official Mecharashi channel has previewed a major new system centered on an entirely new SS weapon tier. Until now, gold-grade weapons have represented the highest equipment level available through regular drops, but the upcoming SS weapons sit above them in rarity and overall strength. These items are sometimes described as colored weapons because of their distinctive classification and premium status. As the saying goes, the more exhausted the heart becomes, the more it needs something hopeful to look forward to, and this new equipment tier has already given players plenty of reason to anticipate the next update.
Only three SS weapons are expected to arrive in the first wave, covering a machine gun, a long weapon, and a handheld shield. Each weapon also appears to have a pilot with whom it has the strongest compatibility, effectively introducing a dedicated weapon system on a much larger scale. The real value of SS equipment will depend on whether players can activate all three passive skill effects attached to each weapon. Because these abilities trigger automatically during combat, they could provide substantial improvements without requiring additional manual commands.
Based on the official promotional image, the first SS machine gun is clearly designed for Rosa. Her portrait can be seen in the upper-left section of the image, while the unit shown is also her XR machine. One confirmed passive skill, Pianxuan, allows the unit to move an additional two tiles after destroying an enemy part. This directly addresses one of Rosa’s biggest weaknesses, as limited mobility has often prevented her from maintaining pressure after completing an attack.
Further analysis shared through 12BET Malaysia suggests that activating the high-computing zone may also grant an extra two tiles of movement even without attacking, while a similar movement bonus could potentially trigger after an offensive action. Two additional passive skills, Expanded Firepower and Ultimate Form, have not yet had their exact effects revealed. Expanded Firepower may increase machine-gun ammunition capacity or raise the weapon’s damage multiplier. Ultimate Form, meanwhile, appears likely to connect with Rosa’s unique Prototype trait. If Prototype mainly supports single-machine-gun setups, Ultimate Form could provide stronger bonuses for dual-machine-gun combat.
Taken together, the new SS weapon has the potential to raise Rosa’s overall combat performance significantly, particularly in the aggressive assault role where she is meant to excel. Many players are now wondering whether this upgrade could restore her position as a more competitive frontline option. One important limitation remains, however. The SS weapon has a weight value of 500, identical to the existing S-rank weapon Yeyan. As a result, Rosa may face equipment restrictions if she has not yet reached Potential Level 3.
The second SS dedicated weapon revealed after Rosa’s appears to belong to the long-weapon category, and there are strong signs that it is intended for Catherine. Official details include effects such as avoiding an accuracy penalty when using a one-handed grip and improving recovery capabilities. Both features fit Catherine’s combat design particularly well, making her the most likely intended user. This reinforces the idea that SS weapons are not merely stronger versions of existing gear but are being designed around the specific strengths and weaknesses of individual pilots.
For players examining the upcoming system through 12BET Malaysia, the broader pattern suggests that every SS dedicated weapon will be built to create direct synergy with its assigned pilot’s signature mechanics. Rosa may benefit from improved mobility and stronger machine-gun support, while Catherine could gain greater consistency and sustainability in her preferred combat style. Missing one opportunity should never mean giving up on the next, and as the old saying goes, if you miss the stars, do not miss the moon. With SS equipment beginning to reshape character potential, this update could become an important turning point for several pilots who have fallen behind in the current balance.
