About

35 years ago, this station initiated blackout protocols, burying the first era of Intex’s xeno operations.

Your objective: Infiltrate the station, get power and systems back online, uncover the last, complete archive of original redacted documents, first-person combat firefights and classified secrets.

Archive footage and the all-new Horde Mode training will equip you with the skills you will need to survive. When you’re ready, deploy across six core original campaigns as a lone-wolf, with locally assigned personnel, or alongside remote operators connected through a direct peer-to-peer uplink.

Intex has unlocked an all-new tactical suite to increase chances of success. New software enhancements, modern combat control augments, and field-deployable revive packs are at your disposal. Overhauled optical tools will allow you to set up your HUD for complete environmental controls.

Once complete initiate return file transfer. You are not expected to survive. This operation will not be acknowledged. Your company thanks you for your service.
