The Outlast Trials has a up-to-date game mode, added in today’s Invasion update. This up-to-date constant game mode brings PvP to multiplayer horror for the first time, arriving alongside the return of the Geister Program’s limited-time Halloween costume catalog.
Invasion mode allows players to play as reagents or attack games as an impostor. Only a constrained group of imposters can attack a given attempt by posing as a knife-wielding maniac, but those who wait will be their teammate’s eyes and ears until it’s their turn. While observing, they can ping targets and lend a hand strategize by informing energetic cheaters. These Tricksters will appear armed with a knife, of either the Slash or Thrust variety, with the former dealing damage and the latter needing to charge up for an instant kill.
The cheater has a constrained time to defeat the target and is forced to return to the nearest insertion gate or be electrocuted for being rude, rude players. They can also be punished by death, which incurs a time penalty for their next spawn. They have several key advantages, they are able to see the noise made by Reagents, and are also immune to psychotic gas and Prime Asset effects, although they will not be able to pick up items.
At the end of the match, the Impostor will be rated on how he deals damage, kills Reagents, and survives his turn.
This is quite an fascinating variation on the typical asymmetric horror multiplayer game.
In addition, there are two up-to-date MK challenges:
Enchant children
The TV screen is the retina of the mind’s eye, where everything is true and everything is possible, especially when the viewer does not see the tools that shape his mind. Take control of the transmission, change the shape of the subliminal message, and we will release you.
Investigate the Minotaur
Corporate power and dynastic wealth are the cornerstone of free societies, but only as long as extracurricular activities can be silenced. When a private hobby becomes a public scandal, the culprits must be exposed and destroyed so that more monotonous dynasties can be established. Find evidence of the Buffalo Minotaur’s crimes, present it to the press, and we will release you.
There will be a limited-time Geister event on Halloween where you will receive tokens for completing Geister Trials and Quests that will suffer from Geister variators. The event runs from today until November 18, and even the tokens you earn will unlock exclusive cosmetics. Spend it while you have it!
