Hack Mode is Coming We're excited to announce work has begun on the first DLC for StarCrawlers, and it's all about Hacking! Here's how it will work :
1. When Hack Mode launches, a free update will activate the hacking system for all players.
2. Hack Mode will connect things in the meat world (security doors, terminals, objectives, etc) with nodes in the local Wire network of your mission location. Locating a datajack will allow you to hack into the network, explore, control nodes, and fight new enemy types that exist only in the Wire.
3. To fight enemies and navigate the Wire, you’ll need specialized gear. All players will start with a basic Deck to upgrade and equip with programs and utilities to boost your hacking power. Hacking gear can be found within the Wire, from corporate contacts, and a shady new storefront opening in STIX…
4. A Hack Mode DLC will be available for purchase that adds a new story campaign, new deck programs and utilities, and meat world rewards, but owning the Hack Mode DLC won’t be required to enjoy hacking in StarCrawlers.
