Content update

Campaign Mode Rework

Campaign Mode has been reworked, where the campaign is now a true Boss Rush experience featuring the Pretender. As the Pretender, players must now fight through each boss in the many factions of Erebus, in a curated sequence, and only once per boss!

• Suits, Perks and Weapon Drops remain random!

• Regardless of the boss that is being fought, the Perk Drop type will be randomized for each possible selection on each Stage Select screen

• Legendary Boss Crafting is now optional for Campaign Mode, where it will spawn the V1 for Megalith, Rali, and Mari, while the Tyrant will be completely randomly generated if no Data Drives are added

• Skinner and Boz are still optional, but you can only fight them once per run

• With this change, the older Campaign Mode has been moved to Legacy Campaign instead, where you can play the older version of UNYIELDER’s campaign once you have tried playing Campaign Mode at least once!

• Existing players will instead have it unlocked on any existing save files!

• Note: Provenance will now always start with two loot boxes in Campaign Mode and Gauntlet Mode

Gauntlet Mode

Gauntlet Mode is essentially the same gameplay experience as Campaign Mode, without the story cutscenes and dialogue, and you can play as Rali, Rain, or Skinner as well!

Leaderboard

Together with the curated boss rush experience comes a Leaderboard! The leaderboard will now store your best performances for Gauntlet as well as Endless Mode!

• Try to complete the Gauntlet within the shortest time possible!

• This will showcase and save the top 10 results for each type across all save files

• You can find the leaderboard next to the teleporter within the House of Cards! (next to where you’d normally start a new run)

• Note: Your score will not show up for other users if your and your game’s privacy settings are set to private.

Iguana

• New Major boss for Tennuli

Crucible
