The loop
How a run works
Choose your operator
The Space Station is your base. Choose your operator and loadout before you drop in. Every operator has a unique playstyle, so try them out in the Testing Zone and find the one you like best.
Play solo or with friends
Every player hosts their own session. Open yours so friends and other players can join, or jump into someone else's open session. Up to 4 players.
Pick a mission
Choose a Mission Card. It shows the environment, the rank (E to SS) and your objectives.
Drop in
Land on the planet and complete the mission objectives with your squad.
Evac
Mission complete? Call in the ship and get your squad out before the Hive overruns you.
Built for your hands
Mechanics
Everything is done with your hands. No reload button, no menus mid-fight.
Mag reload
Pull a mag, seat it, slap it in. No reload button.
Chamber a round
Rack the slide or charging handle to get back in the fight.
Revolver reload
Flick it open, dump the brass, load, snap it shut.
Real recoil
Every weapon has its own recoil. Fire with one hand and the kick is much harder to control. Grab it with both hands to keep it on target.
Either hand
Every grab works left or right. Swap hands mid-fight.
Grenades
You can grab grenades from your arm, arm them and throw them to eliminate big groups of enemies or large structures. Each player is equipped with 2 grenades, chosen in the Operative Station.
Mining
Use your pickaxe to break ore deposits and collect resources. Each environment has its own resource you need to upgrade your operator.
Don't get left behind
When the evac countdown starts, get to the evac zone. If you don't make it before the ship takes off, you're left behind.
Holster & swap
Holster your weapon on your body and pull your sidearm when you need it.
