We're thrilled to introduce a brand new feature in this Deadlink update, one that many of our dedicated players have been clamoring for: Extant Existence, also known as Endless Mode!

Alongside the addition of a new game mode, Deadlink has also received a significant round of balance tweaks and bug fixes to enhance overall gameplay stability and fairness.



"📢" marks the changes suggested by the Deadlink community


Endless Mode was a highly requested addition from our passionate player community, offering an opportunity to truly put your skills to the test or simply enjoy infinite gameplay for relaxation.

Dive into the simulation in a brand-new special area where waves of enemies will spawn one after another, challenging your survival instincts and combat skills. As you face your enemies, you'll be rewarded for your skills with implants and upgrades, becoming stronger and even more badass with each victorious encounter.

Endless Mode serves a dual purpose: a thrilling challenge to see how long you can endure the relentless onslaught and a perfect training ground to experiment with weapon combinations and implant synergies.

So, gear up, sharpen your reflexes, and step into the endless simulation of Extant Existence. How long can you survive? How powerful can you become? The answers await in Deadlink's most exhilarating update yet!

Endless Mode becomes available upon reaching the Femto corporation and also introduces:

• 1 new skin for each primary weapon
  
• 4 new achievements
  

[h2]📢 Lizz Watson Changes (minor spoilers ahead)[/h2]

We always strive to provide the best gaming experience possible. One area where we heard your feedback loud and clear was the final boss encounter with Lizz Watson. Many players found this fight to be exceptionally challenging and, at times, unfair.

In response to your input, we've made some general changes to the Lizz Watson boss encounter. However, we want to ensure that experienced players still find a proper challenge, especially on the higher difficulty tiers. Therefore, most of these adjustments primarily impact the lower crisis levels, striking a balance between accessibility and maintaining the challenge for our veteran players.

• HP reduced based on Crisis Level and Form (formerly 14k/14k, now VR-O: 12/6, DD: 13/10, N: 14/14)
  
• Tweaked additional enemies' composition and spawn times (scales with difficulty)
  
• Improved weak spot collision detection
  
• Lizz exits invisibility upon using any attack ability
  
• Lizz spawns only one turret at a time
  
• Added damage indicators for special abilities
  
• Slowed down slash projectiles (scales with difficulty)
  
• Fixed Alt+Tab freeze during the second form cutscene

Thomas Crusher

        
CSA Executive Director

        
CSA001MAJIC

    



A veteran intelligence operator, and father of the CSA. Crusher spent his early years in the field, operating in shadows, fighting terror, intercepting international transactions, and realizing the obsolescence of the Fed. 
 
The enemies of the US were not terrorists, communists, or cartels anymore. Threats became internal, with megacorps controlling criminal and terrorist activity.

He spent recent years as a security advisor whilst lobbying for the CSA’s existence. Crusher has agency to work as he sees fit without repercussion - as long as he shows results.

And the key to CSA's results is of course you, Agent. Results you have to show not just against rank and file enemies, but some of the most dangerous weaponized corporate assets in existence. Luckily it's people like Thomas Crusher who have got your back in your fight against the megacorps!

Did Crusher give you a tough challenge, Agent? We're curious to know if the CSA crew came in handy during your battle. Share your thoughts and impressions in the comments!
