[h2]Weapons & Augments #3[/h2]
The Orpheus is crawling with unknown threats. But it’s not all doom and gloom — today’s dev diary is about fighting back electrical weapons and tactical augments. Let’s dive in. 🩸

[h3]The Conduit ⚔️[/h3]

Rumored to be forged by a mad engineer deep in the Orpheus, this blade was originally meant for fire rescue. Now? It's perfect for slicing through flesh and synthetic matter alike. It's brutal, swift, and has a thirst for pain.

[h3]Dual Str8Fires 💥 [/h3]

Repurposed from old Earth tech as the evolution of "Uzi", these dual-wielded SMGs define the phrase "spray and pray." With large mags doubling as recoil dampeners, they’re chaotic, fast, and dangerously fun in tight corridors.

[h3]XM LED Strobe ⚡[/h3]

Once a mining laser, now a handheld cannon. The XM LED Strobe was turned into a weapon of rebellion during the Gravel-3 uprising. It’s raw, unstable, and powerful; no safety switch, just fire.

[h2]AUGMENTS[/h2]
Enhance your gear. Enhance yourself. Here are two augments that can shift the tide mid-run.

[h3]Powerslash ⬆️[/h3]

Supercharge your melee. After a fully charged swing, dodge to activate a 1-second 200% damage boost. Perfect for carving through Darkphage before they can blink.

[h3]Impact Wave ⬆️[/h3]

Land hard, hit harder. Slamming into the ground now releases a shockwave... but be careful, your jumps will cost more stamina. High risk, high impact.

[h3]Coming Soon: Summer Next Fest Demo 🔥[/h3]
Recognize some of these from our last playtest? Just wait. During Steam’s Summer Next Fest (June 9th to 16th), the demo expands with:

• A new boss fight 👁️
  
• More weapons 🔫
  
• More augments 💉
  
• And the most content we’ve released to date 🚨
  

Get ready to descend deeper into Moros Protocol than ever before.

See you in the stars 💫

"And when devoid of prey, the cancerous plague shall turn on itself, and a thousand deaths won't sate its vile hunger." - Juk' Haram, 21-73

[h2]A Presence Aboard the Orpheus[/h2]
A masked warrior has been sighted in the deepest levels of the Orpheus; calm, unstoppable, and draped in an unfamiliar armor. She moves with purpose. She speaks in verses. And she leaves nothing of the Darkphage in her wake.



No one knows who she serves or why she’s here. The way she moves, the way she acts… it’s hard to tell if she’s even human. She might be something else entirely.

What remains clear is this: you must remain vigilant.



You may catch a glimpse of her soon. Steam Next Fest begins June 9th, and for the first time, players will have the chance to face the Sin Seeker within the rooms of the Orpheus.

Soldiers stick together. That's a core tenet Orpheans believe in fervently. Facing the universe alone is a curse.

Good day, Orpheans!

Our 4th playtest is now live! This playtest brings a big change... Co-op is now available.
Grab a friend and face the darkness... together.



[h3]How to join the playtest[/h3]
Head over to the Moros Protocol Steam page and hit the "Request Access" button on the playtest.
The Playtest app should now be available in your Steam library. This process might take a minute, so refresh if it doesn't pop up immediately.

[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]
New Weapons 💥

• The Conduit (Melee)
  One of a series of bladed weapons rumoured to have been crafted by a mad engineer deep in the ship’s bowels with a penchant for pain and a sprinkle of surprise. Though its creation was bound for fire-fighting, a downward swing is bound to cut most non-metal materials easily.
  
• The Dual Str8Fires (Physical)
  Repurposed from forgotten Earth tech, Str8Fires are lightweight submachine guns that are perfect for dual-hand showdowns. These weapons are the definition of "spray and pray", as their large magazines also act as recoil compensators and prevent unwanted muzzle rise

• Online Co-op is now available in the main menu.
  
• Enabled more Bioboost upgrades.
  
• Added Challenge Rooms.
  
• Two new enemy types - Darkster Larvae & Variant Zombie

It has seeded the infinite void with denizens of hatred. It waits in silence, until the pride of mankind demands correction. Unfettered, it brings lasting equality through annihilation. It is destruction incarnate. It is the Darkphage.

[h2]Echoes in the Dark[/h2]
Something unnatural has taken hold aboard the Orpheus. Its crew changed, Its corridors stalked by things that shouldn’t exist. Today, we're revealing some of the threats you'll encounter in Moros Protocol.

[h3]Larvae[/h3]


These creatures scuttle through the Orpheus with an unsettling purpose; seeking out the living. Small and fragile at first, they’re easy to dispatch... but don’t get comfortable. The longer they persist, the more they change. And the more dangerous they become.

[h3]Twisted Orpheans[/h3]


Once-human figures now roam the halls, grotesquely altered. They move with brute force but sluggish steps, as if dragged by something within. Their glowing chests may hint at a weakness, but facing them means confronting what your crewmates have become.

[h3]Nychoraptors[/h3]


These creatures no longer resemble anything from the Orpheus. Fast, vicious, and disturbingly agile, they are the stuff of nightmares. Watch for the glint of an eye where one should never be... targeting it may be your only chance.

Thank you for reading, and get ready for our playtest this weekend. You might want to grab a friend as co-op kicks off tomorrow! See you in the stars 💫
