New Limited-Time Event: PRIME TIME
[previewyoutube=woxby3rZ-I4;full][/previewyoutube] Prime Time proved to be a most efficacious therapy; so much so that we are reviving the initiative. Gooseberry, Coyle, or Franco unite to hunt you down in the same Trial for some compound Therapy.New Limited-Time Catalog: PRIME TIME
A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Prime Time Limited-Time event.
- Players can spend their acquired Event Tokens on items in the Prime Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
- Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.
New MK-Challenge: FUMIGATE THE FACTORY
Aging workers with their pensions and benefits are the bleeding wounds of our economy, draining the corporate body with their chronic existence. Stop the bleeding with a sterilizing gas and put the workers out of our misery.
New MK-Challenge: REDEEM YOUR FREEDOM
Currency, like your survival, is worthless unless you give it value with faith. Collect tickets like your life depended on it.
Revamp of Program Genesis
The Genesis Program has been revamped to include all Trials and MK-Challenges.- Trials are now organized by theme.
- Programs now feature distinct visual feedback to clearly differentiate between Trials and MK-Challenges.
- Going forward, all new Trials and MK-Challenges will be added under their corresponding themes within the Genesis Program.
Quickplay replaced by Group Finder
- Quick Play has been replaced with the new Group Finder.
- Accessible from the Terminal’s main screen, the Group Finder allows players to connect with others looking to participate in the same activity.
Pause Menu rework
- The Pause Menu now features three tabs: Menu, Tasks, and Loadout.
- Players can navigate through these tabs to view their respective content.
- While in a Trial, the Loadout tab is view-only. Changes can still be made in the Sleep Room and Shuttle before starting a Trial.
- Holding Tab (or Select on Gamepad) remains a shortcut to quickly open the Tasks tab.
Tasks Tracking
- It is now possible to pin one Task and have it displayed in the HUD permanently.
- Simply navigate to the Tasks menu and press the Pin input.
Additions/Fixes/Balancing
- “Weekly Therapies” are now called “Routine Therapies” and include more tasks to complete for extra rewards. This change helps distinguish them from rotating “Weekly Tasks” and week-long program tasks.
- Routine Therapies and Special Therapies will now include event variators in the Introductory difficulty, since it’s now possible to play any Trial in its original format within Program Genesis.
- Jaeger Ex-Pop changes: [list]
- The Jaeger will no longer spawn during Trials of the Genesis Programs on Introductory and Standard difficulties.
- It can still appear in Standard difficulty for Routine, Event, and Escalation Therapies.
- Spawn chances reduced to 20% (was 33%) at Standard Difficulty.
- Spawn chances reduced to 75% (was 100%) (Intensive and Psychosurgery)
- The Jaeger can now only spawn once per Trial.
- Once spawned, the Jaeger presence in a Trial is reduced to 3 minutes (was 5 minutes).
- Improved Variators compatibility.
- Added a new tab “Last Played” that lists the last Trials played in chronological order.
- Added all latest MK-Challenges.
- Reduced the number of syringe in Trials.
The Outlast Trials Roadmap 2025
