To celebrate the launch we're streaming Lemnis Gate on the Frontier Twitch channel and the Lemnis Gate YouTube channel for the next few days, each day at 17:00 BST! Join us to win amazing prizes, hear directly from the devs themselves, and even challenge them to a match or two!

Game Modes, Match Types, and more

When you first boot up the game, we recommend starting with the Training Mode to get a feel for how the time loop mechanic works in practice as well as familiarising yourself with our roster of operatives. You can also just jump straight into your first match, if you so choose. You'll have access to the full suite of operatives, maps and Game Modes right from the start:

• 7 Operatives; each equipped with their own unique weapons and skills. Every operative adds something new to the team, and how you respond to your opponent's actions is up to you. Learn more about them in the Lemnis Gate Operative Trailers
• 12 Maps; each with their own quirks and layouts for you to learn. Familiarise yourself with some of the map with the Lemnis Gate Site Surveillance Trailers.
  
• 4 Game Modes:
  • Retrieve XM - Retrieve XM from the battlefield and bring it back to your spawn point. Whoever has secured the most XM by the end of the final round wins
  • Domination - Shoot to power Particle Accelerators around the map. Whoever has powered the most by the end of the final round is the winner
  • Seek and Destroy - One player attacks and another defends multiple Resistors on the map. If the attackers destroy a single Resistor, they win
  • Deathmatch - Earn points by taking down your opponent's operatives, and see who can master the time loop

Each map and Game Mode can be enjoyed in the following Match Types:

• 1v1 Turn Based - You and your opponent take turns adding one operative at a time to the loop.
• 1v1 Simultaneous - In the same turn, you and your opponent add one operative to the loop at the same time.
• 2v2 Turn Based - Each player takes turns adding operatives into the time loops one at a time in teams of 2
• 2v2 Team Mates Play Together - You and your teammate simultaneously add an operative to the loop, then your opponents both add an operative to the loop on their turn.
• 2v2 Enemies Play Together - In the same turn, only one player per team adds an operative to the loop at the same time.
• 2v2 Simultaneous - In the same turn, everyone adds an operative to the loop at the same time.
• 1v1 Turn Based Local – Play with your friends at home either by swapping seats or passing the controller back and forth!
• 2v2 Turn Based Local – Play with your friends at home either by swapping seats or passing the controller between all 4 of you!

We can't wait to see your amazing and bold strategies.

We can't wait to see you in the loop, Operatives!

Lemnis Gate is full of opportunities to defeat your opponent, flex your creative thinking and come out on top thanks to expert planning and analysis of the battlefield. However, we know that some of you want to show this to the world and see where you stand amongst the world’s best. In this post we'll be discussing Ranked Mode and how it will work.
 
In Lemnis Gate players can engage in competitive (Ranked) matches to climb the game's ranking system. Ranked Mode is the place to be for those of you with a competitive streak. In Ranked Mode you'll be able to compete against other players with the goal of raising your rank and getting the top position on the leaderboards. There's also the added bonus of bragging rights for reaching the top.
 
Ranking Up
Lemnis Gate’s ranking system comprises of five ranks. With each rank broken down into five tiers:  Starting at tier 5, a player must reach tier 1 before moving up to a new rank. Below you can see an example of a "Gold 1" player:



All players will start out in Bronze Rank. From there you will need to work your way up through 5 tiers, from 1 to 5, before you're able to advance to the next rank. There are five available ranks:

• Bronze 1-5
• Silver 1-5
• Gold 1-5
• Platinum 1-5
• Diamond 1-5

Your Rank information is displayed in the top-right corner of your screen in the game's menus, indicating your current rank and tier.

Below you can see an example of the aforementioned information displayed on the top right:



Ranked Progression
To increase your rank, you’ll need to partake in Ranked matches. To advance to a new tier/rank, you must obtain six wins. In Lemnis Gate, every win grants the player a node, while a loss will take one of your nodes away.

When moving up in the ranking system, you will start with two nodes upon promotion to a new tier/rank. This is to prevent you from being immediately demoted again if you lose your next match, which could lead to hopping between two ranks.

Match Eligibility and Exceptions
All Game Modes (Domination, Seek & Destroy, Retrieve XM, and Deathmatch) and Game Types (1V1 Turn-Based, 1V1 Simultaneous, 2V2 Turn-Based, 2V2 Teammates Play Together, 2V2 Enemies Play Together, and 2V2 Simultaneous) are available to be played in a Ranked environment.

There are, however, two exceptions where you won't be able to play Ranked matches to avoid "rank farming." As follows:

• When in a party of 2 or more, players won’t be able to play 1v1 Ranked matches.
• When in a party of 3 and more, players won’t be able to play any Ranked matches.

We hope you enjoyed this overview of what to expect from Ranked Mode when Lemnis Gate launches on September 28. See you in the loop!

Greetings Operatives!

Reporting in for our final Operative Profile – our series where we look at the weapons, skills, and abilities of Lemnis Gate's deep space operatives. We’ll also be giving you a bit of insight into the Operative’s backstory, and what has guided the path of their lives until the time we are playing in. Your teams are made of specialists in their fields, from soldiers to scientists, which have been brought together by Lemnis Industries to help save humanity from utter extinction.

This week’s profile features Quentin Anderson, an operative known by the codename “Rush”. A decorated soldier, he jumped at the chance to test early versions of Lemnis’ Kinetic Booster. Speed is where he excels, so we can’t wait to see what quick-witted strategies you come up with to best put him to use.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Before joining the military, Quentin grew up on the sunny shores of Jamaica and takes great pride in his cultural heritage. Due to this, when he’s not deployed or training, he prefers to take it slow and spend time enjoying the little things in life. Still a kid at heart, his favourite down-time activity is snacking on cereal while watching cartoons. 

As mentioned prior, Rush was approached by Lemnis Industries as they saw his skill and speed in the field and knew he’d be the perfect candidate to test their Kinetic Booster, and he was thrilled for the opportunity. Similar to a jetpack, he wears this pack on his back during combat and uses it to amplify his already-impressive agility. However, his favourite part is its propulsion technology that allows him to maintain his agility while in midair – luckily his suit is fire retardant!

Rounding out Rush’s arsenal are his Dual Shredders, a pair of double machine guns that fire at a speed that rivals his own – but be wary, their high rate of fire is offset by a low damage output, so you’ll have to be strategic about where you target. His manoeuvrability allows you to get more done per loop than other operatives, so we recommend experimenting with how to work this in your favour.

Depending on the round and the Game Mode you’re playing, how you want to approach utilising Rush may change. During a round of Retrieve XM, deploying Rush early to get ahead of the objective and collect multiple points may put you at an early advantage. However, keeping him until the end and then making the most of his map traversal could allow you to nab any leftover XM from the field. You’ll have to consider your options and pick the best strategy for your gameplay style.

Of course, Rush’s map traversal can help in far more situations than that. By using his Kinetic Boosters, he can clear gaps that would leave other operatives hanging. Use this to your advantage, whether it's Rush-ing to a key moment nobody else could reach to change the tide of time in your favour, dodging a trap that others couldn’t bypass, or more – whatever strategy you use, just don’t forget to keep your wit as quick as his gunfire.

Not only can Rush be used for early advantages and late-game nabs, he can also work great as support for your own team. Did you fail to complete an objective or not do enough damage during a loop?  Or perhaps an enemy operative has snagged a target before you could? With Rush, you can fix that. Zipping into the fray as your own backup can get you those last few points to cinch the match.
These strategies only scratch the surface of what is possible, as there are so many ways to take advantage of the agility offered to you by Quentin Anderson, a.k.a. Rush. What do you think of him and his abilities? Will you deploy him early in order to get a lead on your opponent, or save him for the final round? We’re sure you’re already thinking of ways to best deploy him, so let us know some of your ideas in the comments!
