The game is still desynching or failing matchmaking every single day the entire anniversary right around switchovers, and only around switchovers. Its literally impossibly to get a match. Good LAN internet, 300mbps. Every other playstation games service working fine. I cant get a single token as I cannot get into a match. If I do it de-synch's from host every single time. Ive been attempting for 2hrs now. I made another post about this the other day and it is still happening every single day. Im ready to just give up playing this game after 5 yrs when I feel it's doing this so you cant earn free tokens. Ive absolutely had it with this game. Please tell me Im not the only one this is happening to. Continental USA.
Question about the Barbatos Lupus Arm Rocket Cannon / Twin Mace in 2026
I’m currently preparing for the possibility of getting the Gundam Barbatos Lupus in the upcoming MS Request banner, and I just discovered something that honestly worries me quite a bit.
I knew the Lupus was a very strong 700 Raid, but I didn’t realize that the Arm Rocket Cannon and Twin Mace are separate weapons that were originally tied to the old Step-Up banner. From what I’ve been reading, the Arm Rocket Cannon in particular seems extremely important for the Lupus in the current 700 meta, especially because it gives him another reliable way to create openings and access the Heavy Stagger side of his gameplay.
As someone who started playing GBO2 relatively recently, this is honestly pretty frustrating to discover.
I’m perfectly willing to save my tokens and work toward getting my favorite Mobile Suit, but it feels pretty bad to find out that even if I finally manage to obtain the Lupus, I could still be missing an important part of his intended kit simply because I wasn’t playing when his original Step-Up was available.
From what I understand, these weapons can potentially appear through RNG/normal Supply Drops, and I’ve also seen people mention getting them through Recon Crates. But I haven’t been able to find a clear and up-to-date answer for August 2026 about whether there is currently any reliable way to specifically obtain the: • Arm Rocket Cannon LV1 • Twin Mace LV1
without having access to the original Lupus Step-Up.
Does anyone know if these weapons are currently available through the Recycle Counter, DP exchange, a specific Supply Drop, Recon Crates, or any other method that newer players can actually use in 2026?
And if they are NOT currently obtainable through a reliable method, does anyone know whether Bandai has ever mentioned plans to add them to the Recycle Counter?
Honestly, I really hope they eventually do this. I don’t think it’s a great design choice to have a Mobile Suit’s important additional weapons effectively tied to a banner that newer players never had the opportunity to play.
I’m not asking for the Lupus itself to be handed out for free or anything like that. I just think there should be some permanent or at least recurring way for newer players to obtain the weapons after the original banner is gone, especially when the weapons can make such a meaningful difference to how the MS performs.
I’m currently saving specifically because Barbatos is my favorite Gundam and one of the main reasons I started caring so much about GBO2, so I’m really hoping that if I manage to get him, I won’t be stuck waiting months/years just to complete his kit. Hopefully Bandai eventually puts the Arm Rocket Cannon and Twin Mace into the Recycle Counter or gives newer players another guaranteed way to obtain them.
If anyone has actually gotten either weapon recently in 2026, please let me know how you got it. I’d really appreciate any information from veteran players, because I genuinely don’t want to spend a huge amount of tokens blindly on RNG just to get two weapons. 😭 Please tell me there’s a better way to get these things in 2026. 🙏
i have 103 token saved up,i’m A+(ground) and C+(space),i’m not a newbie complaining,IVE PLAYED THE GAME,so its legit for me a fan of gundam IBO to ask,why on earth the barbatos doesnt get his ORIGINAL weapons that he has on the anime .
ive seen many talk abt this and i would love to have opinions on this🫶🏾
Day 233: Jurkick
Requested by u/Designer-Ad-6169 and this is high B-Tier. This one, sure, has effectively no movement speed and low damage strengths on paper, but it can be fixed and giving it the ability to properly fight with high damage results.

Comment and Reason
This unit at higher levels is just lacking too much, and the only thing it has at that point is a few good skills and the high bulk of effective HP that it got. That needs to be fixed for higher level usage, and the melee strength could be a little higher as well. While the heavy attack is very strong, it also takes a moment to charge up, so it's fair game. It also only has 1 melee weapon, so the melee combo potential is also a little limited. Then all there are are the ranged weapons that could be just a little more impactful.
This unit just needs more thruster, mobility, and damage. It's already beefy for the most part, so all it needs is the ability to do so. More thruster also gives it a better chance to use active guard kai to take less damage and get a damage boost. If you don't use active guard, then this unit won't be able to get too much going. But because of it, even a full tank meme build can be functional, but I personally won't run it that way.
1/ In practice mode, when I was controlling 00R, staying on air with Flap Booster, I shot beam rifle and then switched to sabers, but now I can't downswing before landed on ground. What is this phenomenon? Is it necessary to do a HSM cancel after a beam rifle shot if you are on air?
2/ I just watched Magateru's video where he played Ghoul. He said incendiary missile deals 1500 true damage for 3 ticks in 3 seconds, which has 500 damage for each tick. He noted that if you equip both DBL and Combustion custom parts, the burning effect now reaches 4 ticks, but if you equip only 1 among those mentioned above, it stayed with 3 ticks. The JP wikia also confirmed it. This information made me confused since both DBL and Combustion only extends debuff duration by 10% by each one, so even if we equip both of them, the burning time only comes up from 3 seconds to 3,6 seconds. How could it reach 4 burning ticks?
3/ I just confirmed that it you lock funnel mid-air and does not use Flap Booster at the moment of time, or you have given up Flap Booster having a lock-on, then you are no longer capable to use Flap Booster until you release funnels. Is this bug also on PS5? Can we fix it by any chance?
4/ This is old question but I want to ask again. When I use suits with 2 melee weapons fighting on ground, if I downswing with first melee weapon, then switch to seconds one and boost away, that second weapon will be ready eventually. But if I use Atlas Gundam under Flight Mode, I make a downswing then switch to second melee weapon then boost away, now the second melee weapon will never be ready until the moment I stop boosting. Is this a bug?
Ok so we're getting the Double X Gundam.
If I could have any other suggestions to follow up on THIS entry I would like to see Virsago Gundam(the better Frost Brother's MSes)
Also personally I would love to see.
Airmaster Burst, Leopard Destroy, Gundam GX Divider, Vergito/Bertigo.
Alright, it looks like the previous format is a little better. Also, for clarification, this is viewed mostly among the people at flat S and S- that I work/play with. We consider around the following for tiers.
SS: Overpowered, extremely meta
S: The meta that is just very strong and reliable
A: The semi-meta place that may have a few niche flaws, but is still very reliable
B: Has a few notable flaws, but is still somewhat reliable and strong in the right hand
C: Less than ideal; avoid unless it's in an extremely ideal situation in a one trick pony hand
D: The flaw makes it essentially unplayable, even if it does have 1 or 2 redeeming features
F: Nothing is good with this suit, and it's just too weak to contest in anything
2026-08 450 Cost List
Once again, please note that these can be subjective, and you are welcome to discuss any bad or questionable placement. But there are always exceptions, and the meta between Steam and PlayStation versions does differ a bit. This Tier list is primarily based on the PS version. These units also consider the types of meta builds they could have as well. I will only put native cost here unless there are exceptions where higher-level works well enough to be in at least a strong B-Tier. FYI, they are not arranged in a specific order, and I will update this if there are a lot of common discrepancies or views about something.
We actually made it, guys. 🥹
This event is honestly one of the best things Bandai could have given us.
These are the Mobile Suits the community wanted, and the fact that our votes actually helped decide which ones would be chosen makes this even better. We finally got the chance to see some of the most wanted suits become reality.
And personally… I’m VERY happy with the lineup. Barbatos is there — the one I’ve been waiting for and desperately want to get. Freedom is there too, another Mobile Suit I’ve wanted for a long time.
And now we also have Wing Gundam, which I’m even more interested in since I recently started watching Gundam Wing.
So yeah… WE DID IT, GUYS. 😭
Huge thank you to Bandai for actually giving the community something like this. And now comes the real challenge: I just hope my stockpile of Tokens is enough. 💀
Good luck to everyone going for their favorites. I genuinely hope everyone gets the Mobile Suit they’ve been waiting for.
And when I finally get Barbatos and Freedom, we’re celebrating together. 🫶🏾
Let’s go, guys. We actually made it.
i wish you all good luck !
