Once a quiet moon orbiting Saturn, Daphnis has been overrun and converted into a sprawling industrial weapon by a rogue scientist and left in the hands of a barely-operational AI - one bad command away from total meltdown.Now it stands as a war-torn ruin, buried under colossal structures built for a single purpose: total destruction. As you push deeper into the wreckage, you’ll catch glimpses of the solar system’s violent past, uncovering the ruthless events and societal breakdowns that cleared the path for PTC’s rise.
Beyond these new five maps designed with vertical sprawl and packed to the boiling point with environmental hazards, secrets, you can expect heavy resistance - luckily you have new tools at your disposal.
- The Fission Dynamo - a high-voltage answer to overcrowded rooms. Use with extreme caution.
- Two combat drones - autonomous allies from humanity’s forgotten wars, redeployed to watch your back.
- The Lava Suit - lets you swim where others melt. You’ll need it. The heat here isn’t just metaphorical.
- High-grade armor - rugged, reliable, and built for taking sustained enemy fire.
