New Additions to Forge Your Path
At the heart of this update is Harris, whose arrival expands the roster of Descendants defending humanity. His skills emphasize tactical combat that aligns with the game's sci-fi narrative, letting you delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding your origins. Alongside him, new Ultimate Weapons like Hypernova and Hive Master offer tools to reshape builds, focusing on crowd control and precision strikes that feel integral to the story's invasion themes.
The patch introduces a slew of new Modules—spanning Ancestors, Descendant, Melee Weapon, and Trigger types—plus 19 Mutant Cells for experimentation. These additions encourage role-playing depth, as you customize your Descendant to uncover hidden lore through missions.
