Operators,
The moment is officially here. The doors to the Method of Entry Technical Alpha Demo are open, and you can download the build directly from our Steam store page right now!
This alpha is a focused training grounds experience designed to give you a direct, hands-on feel for our core mechanical foundations. You will have full access to the armoury to try out the weapon handling, and the Time Trial course to push your movement, target acquisition, and precision to the limit.
Please remember that this is a true technical alpha. This build is all about testing our mechanics, breaking things, and uncovering early bugs so we can build a rock-solid foundation for when we move into the full 5v5 multiplayer tests. Your feedback at this stage is absolutely vital.
The Launch Challenges Are Open! To celebrate the drop, our Discord challenge channels are now unlocked. We are running two community challenges throughout the demo period:
The Speedrunner Challenge: Lock in your absolute best time on the course. The players holding the top 20 fastest times at the end of the demo period will earn an exclusive Discord role, and the 5 quickest runs will be featured on our official YouTube channel! (Challenge ends 1st July 2026)
The Codebreaker Challenge: There is a hidden, secret code tucked away somewhere within the training grounds. Figure out the puzzle, snap a clip or screenshot of the solution, and be one of the first 20 players to submit it to claim your exclusive Discord role.
Note for the true completionists: If you manage to conquer both by securing a top-20 speedrun time and being one of the first 20 to crack the code, you will be given a secret role for the ultimate bragging rights.
Once you have completed your runs, please head over to our pinned Steam Bugs & Feedback discussion thread or jump straight into the official Discord server to let us know what you think.
Thank you all for the incredible support. Grab the build, check out the armoury, and let's see those times!
