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

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


[h2]🌌 New map: Space Station[/h2]
A big three-layered map with loot & events ↓



[h2]⛰️ Revamped the Caves of Turion map as a "battle royale-like" experience[/h2]
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.
   

[h2]💼 A "Mercs Only" mode[/h2]
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.


[h3]OTHER CHANGES:[/h3]

• 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

[h2]❗ SERVER WIPE ❗[/h2]

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.
