UPDATE 5

Features & Improvements

The Crack! Brand new Game Mode

Carrasco has revealed the secret of accessing the universe’s most unknown and uncharted region - the Crack! This cosmic void of mysterious origins contains an endless chain of gigantic neural networks filled with priceless riches that can be found nowhere else. But be careful – what the universe giveth, the universe then taketh away. The Crack has a corrupting effect on your enemies, making them more dangerous than ever before!

Leaderboards 

Compare your achievements with other players and friends for ultimate bragging rights.

Crafting

This update introduces the next iteration of our Crafting System. Crafting features now unlock gradually when upgrading Punch Cards. Plus, crafted weapons will now always have better statistics than any weapons you find, ensuring that the time spent on upgrading blueprints and gathering resources is always time well spent. Additionally, the Crafting interface has been streamlined and there’s a new tutorial to make sure you’re making the most of it all.

Get-a-job

Say hello to our new Mission System, meaning an end to the mission grind. Now you can choose the power level of your outings, giving you more control over mission difficulty and in turn the quality and type of reward you’ll receive for successfully finishing them. Tougher missions = better loot. It’s just the way of things! Get-a-Job also improves matchmaking with other players.

Enhancer

The Enhancer Vendor has had a makeover. Talent item slots are now unlocked as you level up your character, meaning there’s now a far bigger reward for levelling! We’ve also redesigned and improved the layout of the Talent Tree.

Rebalancing

Game balance has been significantly altered! These balance changes touch on nearly all areas of the game such as enemies, weapons, missions, economy and more. Dive in and check it out for yourself!
