Enter the dark sci-fi ruins of Tau Ceti IV, a dead colony packed with rival Runners, hostile UESC security, and environments that can flip from quiet to lethal in a heartbeat. Whether you drop in solo or with a crew, tense scavenging and careful exploration can explode into fast PvP where gunplay is sharp, resources are limited, and smart prep wins fights.
Extract to grow your seasonal power, earn cosmetics tied to your achievements, and turn stolen loot into stronger builds. Then risk everything again on the next run, putting your gear on the line for even bigger rewards.
A GRAVEYARD OF POSSIBILITIES
Break into abandoned research facilities, brutal landscapes, and hardened security outposts holding the remnants of a vanished expedition. Tau Ceti threatens you from every angle with distinct enemies, dynamic events, and environmental hazards that demand adaptation. Each zone ramps up the danger and pushes you closer to the UESC Marathon above.
POWERFUL. CONFIGURABLE. EXPENDABLE.
Choose from six Runner shells that set your foundation for different playstyles such as Destroyer, Recon, and Thief. Build around moddable weapons, implants, and core system upgrades to create countless loadouts. If you run with a crew, plan your team composition each drop to stack strengths and approach fights and objectives on your terms.
ENEMIES EVERYWHERE
Run in teams of two or three, or queue alone in solo lobbies. You can also enter active crew lobbies as Rook, a lone scavenger with no starting gear and nothing to lose. Use prox chat to form uneasy alliances when it benefits you, but keep your guard up because partners can turn on you instantly. In combat, hesitation gets punished, and a single survivor can reboot their crew even after death.
INFLUENCE IS POWER
Work with six competing factions, each offering valuable incentives for expanding their foothold on Tau Ceti. Completing contracts boosts your baseline power through season-long unlocks like shell upgrades, stronger starting kits, expanded vault space, and specialized offerings you can purchase with spare loot.
DEFRAGMENT THE TRUTH
No one knows what happened a century ago when the Marathon expedition went dark. As a trespasser in UESC territory, you are in a rare position to piece it together. Dive deeper into the colony and uncover the secrets buried in Tau Ceti’s past.
DEATH HANGS ABOVE
Once access to orbit opens, take your endgame build into the Cryo Archive, the first floor of the UESC Marathon. Solve raid-like security systems to unseal frozen vaults and steal the artifacts inside. Every tight corridor forces clashes with fully geared crews racing for the same prize. Breach the seventh vault and confront an entity that even the UESC fears.
