The enemies and objectives you'll face are pretty varied. If your Operator is left behind or goes down, they'll be captured by the aliens, and you'll need to rescue them when you play the incursion again. You must extract your character from an incursion in order to keep using them, and your Operators retain the damage they receive. You can extract at any time during a mission to cut your losses, but the farther you go, the more you can earn in terms of overall character progression and experience points.

Those objectives are randomized with every playthrough of each map, and the maps themselves will shift between sessions-so while you'll see certain facilities and locations more than once, how you approach them and what you have to do can change.Įvery map is divided into individual incursions, and each incursion is made up of three 'subzones.' Those zones are linked by airlocks, so once you've completed the objective on the first zone, you can choose to continue on to the next, where the challenge and rewards will ramp up, or extract your team. Weapons and gadgets have been tweaked to be more useful for larger PvE levels, and your goal in each mission is to use stealth and team tactics to destroy enemy Archaeans, avoid being overwhelmed, and seek out and complete objectives. Here, though, the focus isn't on fighting another team in PvP, but sneaking into Archaean-infested combat zones in hopes of gathering information and samples about the threat and escaping with it hence, the Extraction name.
