Phoenix Apex

Super Soldier

PML-SB000



The top of the line, the cream of the crop. The most elite member of the Phoenix force, augmented with experimental military-grade cybernetics infused with the toughest nanolattice alloys money can buy.

Uplifted with Watts-Rucker's gene therapy. More wetware than the average Phoenix soldier, but definitely less Homo Sapiens, more Homo Patent at this point. Created for solely one purpose: stopping the menace plaguing Watts-Rucker operations. The corporate dealings leading to its creation must be the stuff of lawyering legend.

The Phoenix Apex is a melee powerhouse that would love nothing more than to get up close and personal with your Combat Shell. What's left of you as a result might just fit into a Watts-Rucker test tube.

That's why maintaining distance is key. Remember to use the C-Balls to your advantage. They'll aid you not only with resources, but with traversal opportunities to help you stay ahead in the fight against the Apex.

Keep a close eye on its shield as well. When it's up, the Phoenix Apex is fully protected and able to throw back just about everything you throw at it. Time your attacks and pick the right angle to strike at this brute or wait for Mothership to spawn its drones and hit them all with a grenade - this will create a fountain of shields.

Bosses of Deadlink - Torantula

Whichever crooked megacorp you are assaulting, you can be sure at the very end a fierce boss fight is going to await you. Each one is challenging in its own way and while it pays to know your every enemy, it especially pays to know these ones.

Torantula Spider Tank

Yakuza Boss

THI-YB000



The minds of Tora hanchō are traditionally placed inside the most advanced products Tora Heavy Industries can offer. Old and groggy, they’re displeased with anyone interfering with both the zaibatsu's or the gang's ops.

Always in a state of comfort, with a hair trigger temper, these Oyabun are directly tapped into drip feeds of quality sake. They explode at the slightest show of disobedience from anyone, be they their underlings or an interloper such as the CSA Combat Shells.

The Tora Heavy Industries Torantula packs a lot of firepower. You will have to contest it with your own of course, but it doesn't just come down to trading blows and seeing who hits harder. It's where you apply all your firepower that counts! In the case of the Torantula? The rocket pods and the spider's "abdomen". Hit those areas and hit them hard to inflict some massive damage on this massive mech. And keep in mind, that the lasers move slightly slower than the combat shell's movement speed, so the best strategy here is to stay away from panicking.



How did your first encounter with the Torantula go? Did you pick up any tricks while confronting these big boss spiders? Share or brag in the comments below!

Combat Shell Deep Dive #4 - Juggernaut



In the chronicles of Deadlink's unending combats against ruthless corporations, our previous explorations have taken us deep into the Combat Shells – from the agile Soldier and the battle-hardened Hunter, to the ingenious Engineer. These insights have peeled back the layers of strategy and strength that define each shell.

But as the tides of corporate brutality continue to surge, a fresh gust of innovation arrives with the Full Release update – Juggernaut Combat Shell. Stepping onto the battlefield under the endorsement of the CSA and birthed by the audacious minds at CORE, Juggernaut comes throwing a whole lot of flak at your enemies while bending physics for fun and profit offense and defense.

Juggernaut Combat Shell

Combat Android

US9280157B2-D



The fourth sanctioned CSA Combat Shell, made to deal with nano-augmented opponents. The Juggernaut Combat Shell is a mix of heavy industry and open sourced components tying together the limits of strength, armor, deceptive speed, and low budget.

Some CSA funds requisitioned from corporations are spent on deepening connections with the CORE makerverse, punks, and anti-authoritarians. This relationship built on mutual corporate hatred allowed the creation of a new class of shell, the holdout sent to finish the job against corruption. Work with tinkerers and open-source nutjobs allowed the CSA to think outside of the box, integrating slipspace technology in new unique ways. Its speed is unmatched for its armor and size, allowing the use of a heavy scattergun loadout.




From a mean bruiser packing a heavy shield, the Juggernaut went on to develop into something a lot more experimental, deflecting bullets not with slabs of alloy, but with theoretical physics!


The Stray Redirector reroutes incoming blasts through slipspace, making the already armored Combat Shell outright invulnerable. Though wherever those blasts are getting rerouted just might mean someone somewhere is going to have a very bad day.

The Combat Shell remains quite punchy as well, specifically with Graviton Punch both bringing the heat and providing for some striking bursts of speed.



While Juggernaut's abilities pack a punch, the weapons have a bit of a kick to them. Rounding off the Combat Shell's arsenal is the beast of a sawed-off shotgun known as Primed Eliminator and the open-sourced GNU+Cluster launcher firing grenades that explode into a front-facing arc of deadly shrapnel.



Did you trust the collab between CSA and the makerverse? Did you become a fan of it? With all four Combat Shells unleashed, let us know if the Juggernaut made its mark!
