Overview

  • The Control Group Warbond goes live simultaneously on July 17 for PS5 and PC.
  • Three new alien-themed stratagems arrive: the PLAS-45 Epoch plasma support weapon that can explode if overcharged, the LIFT-182 Warp Pack teleport device with a destabilizing wormhole risk and the A/LAS-98 Laser Sentry turret that may overheat and detonate.
  • Two new armor sets—AD-49 Apollonian heavy and AD-26 Bleeding Edge medium—feature an Adreno-Defibrillator passive that revives the wearer once before draining health.
  • The VG-70 Variable volley gun offers Auto, Volley and Total firing modes, with Total unleashing all ammo at once in a blast that can harm the user.
  • Additional experimental gear includes the G-31 Arc Grenade, which bounces on impact and chains electricity between enemies.
