If enough people destroy dinosaur nests in a high-danger area, enemies will be thinner on the ground in the next update.
#SECOND EXTINCTION CLASSES UPDATE#
According to the developers, Second Extinction will collect data based on how players around the world are doing in the fight against the dinosaur threat and average out the results, then use the data to regularly update the threat level. The map is broken up into distinct zones, each one given a color rating based on dinosaur activity. While the map is static, the optional events are randomly spawned with each new drop, ensuring that the same mission will never play out exactly the same way.Īlso complicating matters is a dynamic risk system, which I only managed to see the barest example of. While working our way through the objectives, my team kept encountering little side-missions - bases we could secure would enable respawning and resupplying, dinosaur nests that needed clearing out, and resource caches to scour for the crafting materials within. After a terrifying drop-pod ride, my team had to travel around the map setting up sensors to locate the craft, then fight our way through hordes of dinosaurs on the way to it, and then finally scan a cave before sealing it off, hopefully containing the dinosaurs within.
Simple enough in theory, but missions are broken up into distinct chunks to make them feel more tactically authentic. Our job was to find the ship, repair it so it could escape, and then finish the surveying job it started before calling for an extraction.
The raid I tried had players searching for a disabled research ship.
#SECOND EXTINCTION CLASSES UPGRADE#
Players pick a class, team up with two other people to complete the objectives, racking up experience points to unlock new character abilities and gathering resources that they can use to upgrade their weapons. Second Extinction‘s missions are built around basic, and therefore extremely replayable, narratives with random encounters dropped in to make. True to their charter, SE is a game with relatively modest ambitions, focusing on dramatic, hour-long experiences that force players through a series of dramatic setpieces while hopefully giving them enough of an adrenaline rush to keep them coming back for more.
