Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! We want to give something special as a gift from us at 5-fortress to celebrate Christmas. A brand new playtest but including an experimental new pve-gamemode. It's in a very early stage but we have been working day and night the last five weeks to make this happen.
What is our new pve-game mode all about?
You start with your team ( max 5 players ) in your Stronghold. Your end goal is to collect all four electron tubes to your radio transmitter and be able to send the extraction rescue signal.
But you will get resistance!
The Soviet Army will do everything they can to erase all rebels in Scandinavia. They will try to hunt you down and capture your Stronghold.
Between the attack waves your team needs to get out of your comfort zone, discover our brand new map Berget, and find more resources to gain your defensive gear.
But be aware, that some of the areas are heavily guarded by the enemies.
Airdrops are also the key to winning in this gamemode, from them you get better loot and most important, electron tubes. You need four of them to activate the radio transmitter as it is in our pvp game mode - Transmit.
Remember, if you die under an attack wave it's up to your team. If everybody dies it's game over!
This brand-new game mode is in a very early stage, so don't expect a finished pve-experince but you can already expect resistance from our NPCs and a vibe of what is to come in the future.
We have many ideas about what we want to do with the game mode. Like side missions, more types of enemies, and more to explore in our new map Berget.
We are very happy with what we managed to do in this short amount of time, and we can ́t wait to see what you guys think.
If you don't find anybody to play with you can play the pve-mode alone. But it's gonna be hard to complete alone.
Please give us feedback on what you think.
We have been so busy with the pve-game mode so not many changes are done to Transmit game mode. But we will have some servers live with the game mode Transmit. After Christmas holidays we will focus again on the Transmit gamemode and experience.
Please invite your friends, and spread the word about this game. That will help us a lot!
