What’s New Coming This November
November brings the next major content update for Lunar Corps, introducing a brand-new mission inspired by the First Labour of Hercules, new gameplay systems, and improvements to the battlefield.
New Map - Firebase Nemea
The First Labour begins. The Corps has received a distress call from Firebase Nemea, a research outpost on Planet Nemea. Survivors from the research team are surrounded by hostile creatures and require immediate extraction. Your orders are to find them and evacuate them safely off-planet.
Proceed with extreme caution. Initial reports indicate that the outpost's reinforced perimeter has been breached by a creature of immense size and unknown origin. Its current whereabouts are unknown.
New Gameplay Mechanic - Cover System
Until now, players have relied on their Energy Shield to deflect incoming projectiles. With the November update, we're expanding your defensive options with a new Cover System, allowing you to take cover behind objects in each Firebase.
This gives you another way to approach combat, allowing you to reposition, avoid incoming fire, and make better use of the environment when your Energy Shield isn't the best option.
New Leaderboard System
A brand-new Leaderboard System is coming to Lunar Corps, tracking your kills, matches completed, personnel rank, and worldwide position.
Leaderboards will be accessible from the laptop located on the Home screen of the Main Menu.
You'll also be able to switch between Global and Friends Only Leaderboards to see how you rank against the wider Lunar Corps community or your fellow operatives.
Ability Bar Cooldowns
We're adding new visual cooldown indicators to the Ability Bar, making it easier to see when your abilities are ready to use again.
This should make managing abilities during combat much clearer, especially when multiple abilities are on cooldown at the same time.
Many of these additions have been shaped directly by feedback from our community, and we greatly appreciate everyone who continues to share their thoughts and experiences with us as we develop Lunar Corps throughout Early Access.
We'll have more to share as we get closer to the November update.
