Level Zero: Extraction 1.0 Is Now Available | Map №3: Space Station

What's new in v1.0

🌌 New map: Space Station

A big three-layered map with loot & events ↓

⛰️ Revamped the Caves of Turion map as a "battle royale-like" experience

Here's a list of changes:

1. The main elevator can only extract three Mercs; as the session approaches its end, the elevator can't be called;

2. Two additional solo exits that are one-time only;

3. Better loot;

4. A ring of erosion starts moving toward the central elevator 10 minutes into the session;

5. Aliens are immune to ring of erosion damage.

💼 A "Mercs Only" mode

This is a separate optional mode for Mercs only. It offers a more forgiving experience without Alien Monsters, but the loot is of a slightly lower tier.

OTHER CHANGES:

• Final screen UI rework:

  1. Causes of death;

  2. Names of all the people in the lobby with more details about what happened to them during the session;

  3. An ability to add friends.

• New skin attribution system: Skins are now obtainable through achievement-style goals and are never reset after completion.

• New Alien Monster feature: Cocoons. When playing as an Alien, wrap a dead Merc in a cocoon; if it stays intact until the end of the session, you get a share of the loot that the Merc was carrying.

• New weapon: Sniper rifle ↓

  

  

• New grenades: Gas, UV Flashbang ↓

  

• Revised economy with faster progression

• Steam Friends through in-game UI. You can add other players as friends during a session—a pop-up will appear above them.

• Matchmaking update: Locked regions. If you choose a region, you will only look for games in that region.

• Various UI & UX Improvements

❗ SERVER WIPE ❗

The progress, including your stash, trader reputation, and Merc/Alien Monster levels, has been reset. Unique cosmetic skins remain in your inventory.

❗ The skin acquisition system has been changed to provide permanent gains upon completing a challenge. This means that any skins earned will not be affected by wipes from now on, and will remain in your inventory.
