Saber Interactive has released a fresh update called ‘Datavault’ that allows players to tackle ‘Ordeals’ in campaign, operations, and eternal war modes. These challenges can be found in a new section of the battle barge titled Datavault.
Rewards and Cosmetics
By completing these tasks, players will gather Research Data, a currency that helps unlock details about both allies and foes. This mode also introduces new cosmetic items – four icons meant for the right pauldron, two weapon skins, and two pieces of armor.
New PvP Map and Enemy Type
Additionally, a new PvP map named Tomb has been introduced. It features quick side routes and a central area for close-quarters combat that can be attacked from multiple angles.
There’s a new enemy in the Tyranids faction called Biovore. This enemy moves quickly, can launch spore mines from afar, and has a melee attack for close encounters. Players can now access six new emotes like “a stoic handshake” and “a pound to the chest” through the emote wheel.
Tech-Priest Workshop and Requisition Points
Another addition is the tech-priest workshop located in the battle barge armory. Here, players can trade lower-tier armory data for more valuable types. They can also sell this data to gain requisition points. The maximum limit for requisition points has been raised from 990 to 2000.
New Difficulty Level
The game has introduced the sixth and final difficulty level, dubbed “Absolute,” which centers on more varied enemy groups that present heightened challenges. In this mode, resources and ammo are scarce.
Quality of Life Improvements
In addition to these significant updates, there are several quality-of-life enhancements, including a FOV slider for PC, optional crossplay for console gamers, new finishing moves, an XP bonus for quick matches, and additional masteries for player progression.
Lastly, the perk trees across all classes have been balanced, and several bugs have been fixed. You can find the complete patch notes linked here.
