Season 6: PROJECT JUDAS
Project Judas sees the return of Otto & Arora Kress in a new Trial Environment, the Television Studio. The Kress Twins have meticulously groomed Bob Vanier, celebrity talking head and idol to the masses, to be their upcoming political candidate. Molded to their best interests, Vanier is about to announce his political run live on the air, unless Reagents are able to seat Murkoff’s own candidate instead.
New Trial: SILENCE THE IDOL
You are the electric eye, the ravenous panopticon that births and consumes with the same razor-toothed orifice. Tear, burn, and crush the face of false charisma, and we will let you out.
New MK-Challenge: SOLVE THE MURDER
You are the fetishist, whose obsession with the totems of violence allows you to define more convenient truths. Find the evidence to condemn our chosen killer, and we will let you out.
New MK-Challenge: [REDACTED]
There appears to be an issue with the Sleep Room Terminal. Reagents are asked to ignore any unconventional programs that may populate their screens. Disregard any mention of [redacted]. Therapy is the only way to real freedom.
New Limited-Time Event: SCAVENGER
Prepare for the [REDACTED] collapse. Enter the Trials with nothing and salvage unstable, single-use Rigs from Reagent corpses. Collect discarded mechanical components and return them to drop boxes to be used for the [REDACTED] of [REDACTED].
Program Scavenger Variators:
- Salvage Rigs: Salvage unstable, single-use Rigs from deceased subjects throughout the Trial.
- Broken Reagent: Reagents have no starting Rigs, no Prescription, no Amps, reduced Night Vision battery, and start injured.
- Deliver the Components: Reagents are required to locate and deliver mechanical components to a salvage box.
Event Schedule:
- Part 1 will take place from March 24, 2026 @ 10am ET – April 7, 2026 @ 9:59am ET
- Part 2 will take place from April 7, 2026 @ 10am ET – April 21, 2026 @9:59am ET
X-Ray and Barricade Rigs Rework
Noakes has been busy collecting feedback on its creation, and has greatly improved both the X-Ray and Barricade Rigs.
X-RAY RIG
New Description: Tactical enhancement that allows vision through solid surfaces, revealing points of interest. Can be toggled on or off on demand.
Changes:
- X-Ray is now a toggle ability (On/Off).
- Charge depletes while active and replenishes slowly while inactive.
- Cooldown/energy system functions similarly to Night Vision.
- New upgrade PING THROUGH: “Ping enemies and objects through walls while X-Ray is active. Multiple pings can be active at once.”
- New upgrade ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD: “Generates an electromagnetic field while X-Ray is active, preventing trap activation.”
- New upgrade FASTER RECHARGE: “Decreases X-Ray recovery time.”
- New upgrade INCREASED CAPACITY: “Increase X-Ray total capacity.”
- Upgrades RESOURCES INTEL and CLASSIFIED INTEL have been merged and the upgrade is now called RECON: “X-Ray highlights nearby objectives, consumables, and high-priority items.”
- Upgrade SHARED INTEL has been removed.
BARRICADE RIG
New Description: Place barricades to block openings and delay pursuers. Carry 2 barricades. Removal instantly refunds them.
Changes:
- Players now carry multiple Barricades (2 by default, 3 when upgraded).
- Multiple barricades can be deployed at once (oldest breaks when placing a new one beyond the limit).
- Barricades are instantly refunded if destroyed or removed by the player or a teammate.
- Rig Cooldown starts only after all Barricades are placed.
- Removing a Barricade during cooldown immediately stops the cooldown and refunds it.
- Inventory UI updated to support multiple Barricades counter.
- New HUD markers appear at location of valid Barricade deployment spots.
