Eliminate CO-OP

Chris Plummer walks employees through Eliminate CO-OP.

// Employee Alert // Prototype Battle Drones have gone rogue and company property is being sabotaged! Extermination teams are needed to clear the infested facilities!

Team up and Exterminate all Battle Drones! Use extreme caution! Battle Drones hunt in groups, are well armed and will attack on sight.

Mission Details:

· Teams: Arsenal Megacorp recommends that employees work in teams of 2; however, solo operations are also permitted.

· Objective: Your team has 3 minutes to exterminate the entire infestation in your assigned facility before the facility explodes. The drones will hunt you down. Hold your ground to avoid ambushes.

· Compensation: Energized employees are authorized to keep any gear or valuables recovered during extermination including credits, weapons and armors. Additional bonuses will be awarded for completely clearing infested facilities within the allotted time.

Players have 3 minutes to exterminate all enemies from their facility. Enemies attack in waves. All enemies in a wave must be destroyed before the next wave begins.

Use teamwork: Drones are powerful and outnumber you. The best way to survive is to stick with your teammate!

Your gear must be energized in order to earn compensation in Co-op Extermination mode. Compensation includes credit payments and loot dropped by destroyed drones.

Loot: Enemies have a chance of dropping loot when they are destroyed. The more enemies you kill, the greater the odds that you will find loot! In co-op games, certain loot drops can only be collected by the player who scored the kill.

Powerups can be picked up by any employee: Some battle drones will drop powerups when killed. Powerups can be picked up by either you or your teammates.

Progress Bonus: Players can be awarded credits for defeating certain, more challenging waves of enemies.

Extermination Bonus: Both players are awarded bonus loot if all enemies are destroyed in three minutes or less.

Exact specifications on Bot Types is classified, although Arsenal Megacorp has released reference photos so that bots can be identified on sight (see below)

More Battle Drone bot types will be revealed as our advance teams sweep Block 12E.

Q: How many people can play in a CO-OP match?
A: CO-OP supports 1-2 people.  However, expect Best results when playing as a pair.

Q: What if my partner is a much higher/lower rank than I am:
A: Eliminate CO-OP takes both players ranks into account and uses that to inform the overall difficulty of enemy drones.

Q: How does compensation work in CO-OP Mode?
A: Players are compensated in 3 ways.  First, enemies will occasionally drop loot items when killed.  Loot can include credits, but can also include items such as new weapons and armors.

Q: Can I shoot and kill my co-op partner in CO-OP mode?
A: Friendly fire is deactivated in CO-OP mode.

Q: Can I use loot from CO-OP mode in deathmatch?
A: All loot collected in CO-OP mode can be used in deathmatch as well.

Arsenal Megacorp releases new Offworlder Armorset

After several months of intensive research, our Armor R&D team is excited to reveal the new Offworlder armorset - now available for sale to all employees.

Originally designed for use in zero-gravity combat zones, Offworlder provides users with an alternative in heavy armor technologies. Fans of the Tanker armorset have noted that while the Tanker provides superior protection in enemy encounters, the extreme shielding materials add considerable weight.

The Offworlder provides an all new experience by giving you nearly the same level of protection as the Tanker armor, while allowing for superior mobility.  This combination of strength and speed makes the Offworlder - and you - a deadlier opponent.

Offworlder represents our latest, and best, entry in the field of combat protection.

Enjoy its competitive edge.
