Hello Runners,
It’s been a busy time on SYNCED. Our team has been working hard getting everything ready for our upcoming Open Beta Test, and we just want to take the time now to offer you a little sneak preview of the latest news coming out of the Dead Sectors. This is the PvE mode we have planned, where you’ll explore the Meridian, take down the Tyrants, and stop the Surge. Here’s a quick glance at some gameplay footage captured just this week:
Surge Storms wrack the Meridian. These deadly clouds of nanomaterial rove the wastelands of the Dead Sectors, ravaging everything in their path. If one of them entered Haven, it would be a disaster, so we’ve got to stop it. You will need to team up with 2 other Runners, enter the Dead Sectors, find the Locus Nanos that feed the storms, and put an end to their threat.
These five sectors will challenge even the most skilled Runner. Horrifying nanos, overwhelming Tyrants, and the ever-present threat of the Surge Storms will put your skills to the test. You’ll need the strongest allies and the best gear to even have a chance at survival. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.
Unlock New Gun Tech
In Haven, you’ll be able to radically alter your weapons with Gun Tech upgrades. From knocking back your enemies to changing your weapon’s spread, you’ll be able to pick upgrades that fit your playstyle. Some of these upgrades will be unlocked early on, but as you play you will quickly discover new, more powerful upgrades.
Equip Gear Chips
Gear Chips are upgrades for your Runner that offer buffs and bonuses to augment your game. Some Gear Chips will help you deal more damage to nanos, or increase your critical hit rate, and more.
With Gun Tech and Gear Chips, you will be able to explore different combinations to unlock your Runner’s full potential, and explore all the possibilities that SYNCED has to offer.
Hit Up the Exchanges
For even the most well-prepared Runner, the Dead Sectors are dangerous. Runners who want to come back alive, rely on a nano by-product called Radia. This volatile resource acts as currency for you inside the Meridian. You can spend Radia at the many Exchanges you’ll come across. Exchanges are old Shinar tech that’s been corrupted by the Surge. They deliver powerful perks and mods to help you maximize every one of your runs.
Don’t forget to SYNC
Once you tame and synchronize a Prime Nano, you will have your Companion Nano working by your side. These four classes: Crusher, Guardian, Seer, and Suppressor will be key to your victory in the Meridian. Pick the right one for the right fight and you’ll come out on top.
And the Dead Sectors don’t end there. Once you beat all five sectors, more maps, more challenges, and more upgrades will be unlocked, forever changing your world of SYNCED.
We are always listening to our community, and your feedback is important to us. You can talk to us on Discord or on Twitter, and get all the latest updates through our Steam page as well. We’ve got big news coming just around the corner that we’re so excited to share with you.
Stay tuned, Runner. The Meridian awaits.
