In this variant, you'll face three special time trial maps for each Combat Shell, giving you 12 unique challenges. On each map, you'll need to collect coins and defeat enemies within a tight time limit. If you can beat certain times, you'll earn medals that are displayed on global leaderboards, so you can see how you stack up against other players.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/a929a5bceed09256bef6feda898d8424389cb9f1.jpg 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/c8ab7b8e700d090b96a05e8e37eb75dedd67b59e.png

What's new?

"📢" marks the changes suggested by the Deadlink community

📢 Extant Existence (Endless Mode)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/cb31dc54b0b69b6a8ca990523920125bb2f64d77.png 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

📢 Lizz Watson Changes (minor spoilers ahead)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/956b4932bc17a75d7b0551df077b427300e31879.png 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

🌞 Brazilian Portuguese Localization

Bom dia, agente! - Raphael Chagas da Silva prepared the fan translation of Deadlink, especially for our Brazilian players.

Other Changes

• 📢 Added UI visual cue for hidden implants
• 📢 Unlocked cutscenes can be rewatched anytime
• 📢 Added option to reset the Deadlink Upgrades in HUB at no cost
• 📢 Added toggleable ability cooldown indicators near the crosshair
• Improved UI readability for Steam Deck
• 📢 Defibrillator now refills shields to max value on activation
• Fixed elevator collision issues in Femto
• Fixed cutscenes 6 and 7 not playing after completing a run

There may not be a weapon best suited against this boss (although if we were to try, we would pick endless bureaucracy), but you won't need one. Time to check on a boss unlike any other, but no less important. Your boss! Name Category ID Thomas Crusher CSA Executive Director CSA001MAJIC https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/41652932/6aebb545813eb8101a9b1c6b7792ab8b7978d2bf.jpg 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!

If you made it this far you know CEO Lizz Watson brings more than her stunning good looks to the fight. Time to take a look at the pinnacle of your foes, Agents! Codename Specialization ID Lizz Watson Femto CEO FMT-SB000 https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/41652932/ae5afbd83690f0df3bc117c682748678b1240104.png "This bitch slays!" reads her bio, plastered across the net, and don't worry, you've seen her on TV too. Magna cum laude at Princeton, and a complete princess, she knew what she wanted. Femto was her chance at grabbing onto the C-Balls of "nerds" and "losers". She took their flagship products and wrapped them in PR speak, spinning the investors around her finger and breaking the noses of those who broke NDA. Of course, investments don't run on lies alone. C-Balls were cool, but a nano-company needs something even more nano than her wasp waist. She is not only a role model and a fashion model, but the main model, the prototype of what humanity can be. Of course, she won't mention the stolen patents or the off-the-shelf parts. Lizz may have won many battles by outpatenting her competition and keeping the proper spin with clever PR, but in a fight she's the real deal. No matter which Combat Shell you're packing, Lizz Watson will be a challenging opponent. Femto's nanotechnology is more than a gimmick, and in combat with the CEO you'll find her bringing facsimiles of your abilities. That means you're in for a contest of skill and a test of all that you've learned in the many simulations that brought you here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/f5940de1b9fd2add6169d06f2e04a856babfd4d6.gif How did your encounter with CEO Watson go? Did you find out which of you slays harder? Feel free to share the results of your encounter and all the juicy combat experience you've gained in the comments. P.S. Agents, we'd like to express our gratitude for all your previous feedback about Lizz. We hear you and we've seen your concerns about her difficulty and general enjoyability in combat. We're addressing this with balance adjustments to enhance the fun factor – rest assured, we're actively working on it.

You could say that Trinary Iskra took its appointment as Interport's CEO well. Just look at the peak efficiency Interport has been operating at! Sadly the AI is not only mad with power, but armed to project that power at you. Codename Specialization ID Trinary Iskra Chief Executive Officer AI IPN-MB000 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/e5a978149666a8ed1e487236c68b7909de30e7b3.png Ever-increasing profits and efficiency led Interport to appoint an AI as CEO. AIs aren’t new for corporations, advising countless cutthroat decisions and market strategies, but this was quite bold. Interport’s limitless resources created an engineering marvel, built with trinary logic, a Soviet concept unexplored since the domination of binary computing. It was named “Iskra”, referencing the gnostic divine spark. Capable of near-prescience without Turing registry supervision. Warehouses network – each one housing semi-autonomous cores syncing frequently. It’s speculated cores are fully conscious, practically limitless, and developing delusions of godhood. Iskra is a massive foe with a massive ego and a massive arsenal. While its divinity complex might be a delusion, it is truly a master of saturating its environment with death. Your greatest challenge in this fight will be to avoid Iskra's attacks. Always stay aware of your surroundings! Dodging is crucial, but if you don't keep an eye on your dash charges you might just trap yourself in the middle of one of several highly damaging attacks. And keep in mind - each stage of Iskra has its own weak spot that guarantees critical damage if shot directly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/c87da5061f1a9ac8d486a6e35fac473103558bbd.gif Have you toppled a god, Agent? Do you have any tips, tricks or war stories to share? Head to the comments and let everyone know!

Attention, all new-coming Agents! Prepare to infiltrate the neon-lit cyberpunk underworld – the newest Deadlink demo is now your training ground for the challenges that await. Сarefully designed by CSA to calibrate Agents, it is your ticket to prove that you're ready to handle the world of corporate brutality. Equipped with all the features of the full version, including voiceover and localization, this demo thrusts you into the heart of the action. As you face off against the ruthless Tora Heavy Industries, the first enemy corporation hailing from Japan, every ounce of strategy and firepower counts. Will you rise to the challenge? The Deadlink demo awaits your bold entry!

What do you get when a ruthless PMC works together with an unscrupulous biotech corporation to create a supersoldier? You get our next boss - the Phoenix Apex. Codename Specialization ID Phoenix Apex Super Soldier PML-SB000 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/6aa7223f319842a8c6b6ab9d14d1e0218bc9fb4a.png The top of the line, the cream of the crop. The most elite member of the Phoenix force, augmented with experimental military-grade cybernetics infused with the toughest nanolattice alloys money can buy. Uplifted with Watts-Rucker's gene therapy. More wetware than the average Phoenix soldier, but definitely less Homo Sapiens, more Homo Patent at this point. Created for solely one purpose: stopping the menace plaguing Watts-Rucker operations. The corporate dealings leading to its creation must be the stuff of lawyering legend. The Phoenix Apex is a melee powerhouse that would love nothing more than to get up close and personal with your Combat Shell. What's left of you as a result might just fit into a Watts-Rucker test tube. That's why maintaining distance is key. Remember to use the C-Balls to your advantage. They'll aid you not only with resources, but with traversal opportunities to help you stay ahead in the fight against the Apex. Keep a close eye on its shield as well. When it's up, the Phoenix Apex is fully protected and able to throw back just about everything you throw at it. Time your attacks and pick the right angle to strike at this brute or wait for Mothership to spawn its drones and hit them all with a grenade - this will create a fountain of shields. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/a78e0966595c4df84f34f03d165d2e6418ad0abc.gif How did your run against the Phoenix Apex go, Agent? Did you stand up to the challenge posed by the supersoldier? Share your battle tactics and experience in the comments!

Whichever crooked megacorp you are assaulting, you can be sure at the very end a fierce boss fight is going to await you. Each one is challenging in its own way and while it pays to know your every enemy, it especially pays to know these ones. Codename Specialization ID Torantula Spider Tank Yakuza Boss THI-YB000 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/7ee0037989f3ee46e756ff74108001b4ea6aa1b1.png The minds of Tora hanchō are traditionally placed inside the most advanced products Tora Heavy Industries can offer. Old and groggy, they’re displeased with anyone interfering with both the zaibatsu's or the gang's ops. Always in a state of comfort, with a hair trigger temper, these Oyabun are directly tapped into drip feeds of quality sake. They explode at the slightest show of disobedience from anyone, be they their underlings or an interloper such as the CSA Combat Shells. The Tora Heavy Industries Torantula packs a lot of firepower. You will have to contest it with your own of course, but it doesn't just come down to trading blows and seeing who hits harder. It's where you apply all your firepower that counts! In the case of the Torantula? The rocket pods and the spider's "abdomen". Hit those areas and hit them hard to inflict some massive damage on this massive mech. And keep in mind, that the lasers move slightly slower than the combat shell's movement speed, so the best strategy here is to stay away from panicking. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/82ce797e838c7b3bf13027cac007b12b95608204.gif How did your first encounter with the Torantula go?

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/452ace16c71122de595f9ab7b0d68b8959469043.png In the chronicles of Deadlink's unending combats against ruthless corporations, our previous explorations have taken us deep into the Combat Shells – from the agile Soldier and the battle-hardened Hunter, to the ingenious Engineer. These insights have peeled back the layers of strategy and strength that define each shell. But as the tides of corporate brutality continue to surge, a fresh gust of innovation arrives with the Full Release update – Juggernaut Combat Shell. Stepping onto the battlefield under the endorsement of the CSA and birthed by the audacious minds at CORE, Juggernaut comes throwing a whole lot of flak at your enemies while bending physics for fun and profit offense and defense. Name Category ID Juggernaut Combat Shell Combat Android US9280157B2-D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/5a543d8318546205c1f6446ed427a2e5c9557c9a.png The fourth sanctioned CSA Combat Shell, made to deal with nano-augmented opponents. The Juggernaut Combat Shell is a mix of heavy industry and open sourced components tying together the limits of strength, armor, deceptive speed, and low budget. Some CSA funds requisitioned from corporations are spent on deepening connections with the CORE makerverse, punks, and anti-authoritarians. This relationship built on mutual corporate hatred allowed the creation of a new class of shell, the holdout sent to finish the job against corruption. Work with tinkerers and open-source nutjobs allowed the CSA to think outside of the box, integrating slipspace technology in new unique ways. Its speed is unmatched for its armor and size, allowing the use of a heavy scattergun loadout. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/56f0f5ccd6df6637b89d453e11dfee16c50c5498.png From a mean bruiser packing a heavy shield, the Juggernaut went on to develop into something a lot more experimental, deflecting bullets not with slabs of alloy, but with theoretical physics! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/2443cc2126c08d8f1a3840742c11a0a6487545cf.gif The Stray Redirector reroutes incoming blasts through slipspace, making the already armored Combat Shell outright invulnerable. Though wherever those blasts are getting rerouted just might mean someone somewhere is going to have a very bad day. The Combat Shell remains quite punchy as well, specifically with Graviton Punch both bringing the heat and providing for some striking bursts of speed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/d30d2b8416c783b660755cc90756706b944331cb.png While Juggernaut's abilities pack a punch, the weapons have a bit of a kick to them. Rounding off the Combat Shell's arsenal is the beast of a sawed-off shotgun known as Primed Eliminator and the open-sourced GNU+Cluster launcher firing grenades that explode into a front-facing arc of deadly shrapnel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/5f24cb03a9651c532f1762235a94905c5e4b45bf.png Did you trust the collab between CSA and the makerverse? Did you become a fan of it? With all four Combat Shells unleashed, let us know if the Juggernaut made its mark!

What's new?

"📢" marks the changes suggested by the Deadlink community

Invest With Femto

Name Category ID Femto, Inc. Nanotech Corporation 18-CR-00258-EJD {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/89da02e0dfcdc7c0955a9763a242eca636e4aa62.png Motto: Big things in tiny packages Supplements and biodomes, the 20th century technohippy intertwined with modern corporate. The corporate world was always dark, concentrating on short-term. But then, there was Femto. A light in the dark, something to look up to with hope for a post-scarcity future. And if you felt otherwise, their kind, smart-dressed mercs would show you the lit path, and the door, with a boot up your ass. The largest nanotech corp in the Solar System began as a small startup, created by altruist makers. That dream was abandoned, however, with new management. The new CEO hated the founders, ousting everyone for more power. Remolded, Femto was soon on every billboard, every office, every TV, and of course, in your home, spying on you with their ubiquitous C-Balls, stealing your data down to your molecular structure. Some say that tech they eavesdropped is the root of their newest product, the one only seen by stock-holders. Some say this new product is her.

New Corporation To Raid

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/4df32b78aa21598c3e172fe70184788136382c75.gif Femto's rise was sudden, unexpected, unnatural even. Whistleblowers either end up doing blows with the CEO or getting blown up “peacefully”. They wouldn’t like you saying that out loud, but they’re fascists hiding themselves under the burning red banner of peace, the black shirts of investment opportunity. Regardless of sex, they’re darlings of progressive values and big-tech money, enforcing their will with ferocious loyalty to peace, until you become pacified.

It all went out the door when they went public. We want to know what they might be hiding, what only the investors see.” – Thomas Crusher {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41652932/c8ab7b8e700d090b96a05e8e37eb75dedd67b59e.png

With the ever-increasing inflation, XPs have become an absolute must for running a thriving trash business.

Balance Changes

Armor calculation

The armor has been completely overhauled. Instead of acting as a second health bar and one-shot gating, now it is reducing incoming damage. The more armor, the more damage reduction. On top of that, every elemental damage will provide some armor-stripping capabilities, although the most efficient way to do so is still with Toxic/Corrosive damage type.

📢 Difficulty

With the new armor system in mind, we have made adjustments to its values across higher difficulties. This change is aimed at encouraging our Agents to be more thoughtful in their choices of Implants and weapons. Addressing the concerns raised by hardcore players who found Neuromancy too easy, we have enhanced the challenge by making enemies stronger, with increased shooting speed and quicker reactions. However, we haven't overlooked our non-hardcore players who simply want to enjoy the game. To provide a smoother experience, VR-Orientation will now feature less spongy enemies and reduced armor in later biomes. This way, you can freely experiment with different builds before taking on the challenges of Deep Dive and Neuromancy. Furthermore, we have made slight adjustments to the XP gain from door rewards, allowing you to obtain your upgrades a bit sooner. We hope these changes will enhance your overall gaming experience.

Neuralboosts

Neuralboost reward got shifted to the regular reward pool, so it's not handed out before every implant selection anymore. This is a big balance tweak for the build's power consistency. Now players can decide whether they want to boost their combat stats vertically or broaden their progress by adding a new shell and weapon upgrades horizontally.

📢 Soldier’s Shotgun

• Number of pellets decreased (20 ➡️ 10)
• Shotgun damage increased (5 ➡️ 12)
• Detection radius for shotgun pellets increased, and the detection radius curve changed to be less aggressive (projectiles will have a bigger detection radius of up to 20 meters). This should improve the shotgun feel and damage delivery.
• Reload and Fire Rate Shotgun’s mods properties increased to make them a sensible alternative to other Shotgun mods.

Heavy Weapons’ Stats

We noticed a major disproportion in terms of Heavy Weapon damage outcome. This change equalizes each of the secondary weapons to be as viable to play as any other. Damage Critical Damage Changes Rocket Launcher 150 225 Damage +15 Flame Assault Payload 300 375 Damage Mult -20% EM Charge 100 + 280 (mine) 120 + 420 (mine) Mine Damage -10 Prox Mine 200 300 Projectiles -1 Damage +20 ARC Cannon 90 135 Damage +50 Particle Accelerator 300 375 Headshot Damage Mult -15% Damage -15 Electrolaser 10 15 Fire Rate +1 Matter Converter 300 450 Fire Rate -1 Damage -45 Tarball HRGL 150 225 Perfectly Balanced Fire Ant Rounds 160 + 160 (recall) 200 + 200 (recall) Damage: -15 Stormblight Cascade 50 50 Locust Swarm 155 232 Technical Tweaks GNU+ Cluster 120-522 170-680 Blaze Mode 726 826 SMRT Coil 12 17 Goob Launcher 120 + 200 (DoT) 170

⚠️ Save Data Reset ⚠️

Excitingly, the full release brings a plethora of incredible changes. However, this means that the EA saves won't sync with the current version, leading to a reset of progress on the affected save slot. To compensate for any inconvenience, you will receive a partial refund of XP and Turing Tokens. Get ready for an enhanced gaming experience, and thank you for being part of our journey!
