NEW ARCHÆAN VARIANTS AND PARASITE MUTATIONS ARE HERE!

The Parasite keeps evolving and REACT must adapt to its new threats. Jump into the containment zones to take on the new variants.

NEW ARCHÆAN VARIANTS

Get ready for new enemy variants with unique characteristics, to shake up strategies in your incursions:

FERAL GRUNT

An erratic melee attacker that can jump off walls to close the gap on you and your squad. Eliminate it before it reaches you.

STORM SPIKER

This variant shoots multiple homing projectiles at you. Destroy them mid-flight. Stay out of its line of sight to avoid detection.

SMOKER

It can self-detonate, leaving a cloud of smoke that deals damage if touched. Maintain distance and obliterate it first before it gets close to you.

NEW PARASITE MUTATIONS

New Parasite Mutations are also here, to challenge tactical approaches in the field, when playing on higher difficulties:

REVIVED ARCHÆANS

All enemies are reanimated after death. Obliterate them to keep them from coming back.

SPONTANEOUS BLINDING MINES

Archæans leave behind Blinding Mines when they die. Obliterate the enemy to prevent blinding effects.

SPONTANEOUS EXPLODING MINES

Archæans leave behind Exploding Mines when they die. Obliterate the enemy quickly to prevent mine drops.

ARCHÆAN HAVOC

The enemy can breach destructible walls and obstacles instantly. Plan defense tactics accordingly and be wary that your usual defenses won’t be enough!

IMMORTAL SMASHER

This smasher is completely covered in carapace and won’t take damage. It has no weak points. Do not engage.
