Keep your optics in focus for a full giant patch note coming your way very soon and listing everything now added to Deadlink.

Last but not least, what better way to celebrate the full release than by offering the full game we've all been anticipating for a special release price? So just as soon as you're through watching the release trailer pick up Deadlink and don't miss out. Time is short, the discounted price will only be available from today (17:00 UTC) to August 4th. Last chance for a bargain this good!

See you in the combat sims, Agent!

The Deadlink Protocol is nearing a decisive stage, agents. That means another step in our mission at the CSA as well. We are working on identifying another corrupt corporation begging for a surgical strike. We should have our answers very soon. In the meantime, take a good look. Is there anything you can glean from the unsorted data?

We would like to start with a great big thank you to all of our wonderful beta testers! It's been a wild week with many agents answering the call and helping us test the game!

With more than 200 of you playing the game and reporting on your experience, we are now able to feel even more confidence in the game's full release. And to give you all just a bit more time to put your feedback and impressions together, as well as to give a chance for more prospective agents to join us, we're extending the closed beta until July 26th!

Join us if you still haven't! You can find all the info on our Discord in the 📢announcements channel!

We look forward to seeing you and hearing all of your feedback!

Exciting news, agents! With Deadlink drawing ever closer to the finish line we want to invite you to join the closed beta!

The beta test will run from July 13th to July 20th. You can join our closed beta testers team through our official Discord. Look for the announcement in the 📢announcements channel!

Can't wait to have you all on board!

We approach our third Combat Shell Deep Dive and it's time to talk about the CSA's venerable field hacker frame. That is, of course, the Engineer submitted as a blueprint by hacker turned CSA Electronic Intelligence Expert, Maria Argentea.


The Engineer represents a middle ground between firepower and sigint. Its abilities are aimed at zone control and tactical area denial. Prominently visible on the Shell is the sting of its Wormlink Breach.


Through this direct link the Engineer hacks cybernetics and electronics, using the cable as a conduit to deliver a software payload incapacitating enemies.


Key to its area denial capabilities is the Lawbringer Turret. While its battery life is limited, it's chock full of sensors and IFF subroutines and has room for additional elemental mods for some deadly force multiplication.


As with other Shells, the Engineer hardly wades into battle emptyhanded. Your armaments, should you pick this Shell, are comprised of the flechette-firing Gauss Rifle that combines respectable fire rate with good recoil control, and the Tarball Grenade Launcher packed with sticky bombs by default.


So how do you like Maria Argentea's gift, agents? Is it your favorite, or do you think the talented hacker just went for a blatant self-insert into the Protocol? Share your destructive Engineering experience in the comments below!
