Indie horror studio Red Barrels released an update for The Outlast Trials this week. Split into 2 parts containing different Trials and MK-Challenges, Program Countdown is a new limited-time event. Part 1 will run 10th until 24th September. Whilst Part 2 will run 24th September until 8th October.
The Outlast Trials: Countdown
Program Countdown straps time-bombs to each player, forcing them to hunt for time extenders as they complete Trials. If the time runs out, the entire team dies a fiery death, resulting in a failed Trial. Get ready to run for precious time; even if you survive this Trial, remember: time comes for us all!
- A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Limited-Time Event
- Complete Trials and MK-Challenges in the Countdown Program to earn Event Tokens
- Complete the secondary objective in Countdown Program Trials to gain extra Event Tokens
- Accomplish Tasks in the Countdown category to earn Event Tokens
- Spend acquired Event Tokens in the Limited-Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics
- Once the event ends on October 8th at 10 AM ET, the Catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost
New MK-Challenges at the Docks
Two new MK Challenges, ‘Empty the Vault’ and ‘Poison the Cattle,’ are now available in Part 1 of Program Countdown. These MK Challenges will be included in the new roguelike mode ‘Escalation Therapy’ map pool. They will also be featured in the upcoming weekly program rotations moving forwards.
Empty the Vault
Casinos are the temple of idiot waste and wilful failure. Your mission is to steal from those who would steal from you.
Poison the Cattle
The milk of human kindness must be contaminated with liberty and progress. Players must poison the cattle therefore spoiling their milk.
In addition to the new content, Red Barrels have also implemented a number of fixes and balancing tweaks. These will enhance player experience with new animations, improved Amp abilities, and more.
