  • Loot and Shoot – Master over 30 powerful weapons, each modifiable with elemental affixes and upgrades. Turn a shotgun into a void-spreading crowd crusher, or a submachine gun into a room clearing hail of ice. From plasma cannons to sniper rifles, your arsenal adapts to any combat scenario.
  • Unleash Elemental Fury – Incinerate drones with fire, freeze swarms with ice, chain lightning enemies with shock, or send them to the void with a well-timed headshot.

  • Fight on Your Terms – Start each new battle cloaked in stealth. Scout enemies out and decide on an attack plan before engaging them in combat. Explosive barrels, wall cover, and a mix of environments add an extra layer of strategy.
  • Solo or Cooperative Carnage – Adventure on your own, or conquer the ship in a cooperative squad of up to three players. Mark enemies for focused fire, synchronize grenade strikes, and storm enemies with overwhelming force. Adjust difficulty levels for each mission to match your mood, from a more laid-back adventure experience all the way to nightmare mode.
