Hey ninjas, the 1.2 patch is finally here and it's an exciting one!
We've added in a Challenge Mode option, which currently contains two separate game modes - Endurance and Gauntlet, which are endless versions of Survival and Purge respectively, where the rewards and difficulty increases over time, and even more when you invest a newly added currency into it, called Intel.
Daily rewards is also another addition that will help alleviate some of the resource issues that happen in the early to mid game. Additionally, playing 6 days in a row (not necessarily consecutively) nets you a legendary lockbox, which is intended to help said progression as well!
