- Operational Update #2: Clearance Systems and Combat Enhancements - 4 February 2026
Attention Operatives,Command has deployed a significant operational update across the Loop, introducing new systems aimed at improving navigation, survivability, and tactical depth.This release includes the following changes:Clearance Level SystemOperatives can now gain Clearance Levels within a Loop. Higher clearance unlocks Upgrade Cores, which modify weapons and shields to provide new tactical options during a run.More Impactful Combat and TraversalEnhanced visual feedback, including improved hit reactions and enemy explosions, makes combat clearer and more satisfying. Thrust behavior has been refined for better control. Thrust can now destroy certain environmental obstacles, enabling more aggressive movement.Expanded Enemy BehaviourEach hostile species now exhibits distinct movement patterns and attack behaviors, requiring sharper observation and adaptation.SynthHeal DeploymentNew S…
- Operational Update: Improved Onboarding and Newly Detected Threats - 7 January 2026
Attention Operatives,Command has deployed a new operational update across the Erebos Loop, introducing balance adjustments and improvements to early insertion procedures. New threats and challenges have also been detected!This update includes:New explosions effects and updated tile sets, improving visual clarity and combat feedbackEnhanced operative onboarding, including an improved tutorial and a new quick reference guideSecondary weapon balance adjustments, refining their effectiveness and tactical roleThere have been sightings of new enemy behavior patterns, which require sharper observation and adaptabilityScouts report that Hostile Turrets have been deployed across Shards, introducing new positional and tactical challengesCommand continues to welcome operative feedback. Your field data remains essential in refining Erebos and shaping future deployments.Want to speak to Command dire…

- Hostile Intelligence Update - 15 December 2025
Attention Operatives,Command has detected a significant escalation in Hostile defensive behavior within most Erebos Shards.Field reports confirm that in select areas, Hostiles have deployed Heightened Defense Zones: heavily reinforced sections protected by energy shields and sustained by multiple external energy sources. These defenses render core structures temporarily immune to direct damage. Expect intense resistance: these areas seem to be designed to saturate the combat zone with sustained projectile patterns and maintain continuous suppression.The motivation behind these reinforcements remains unclear. Preliminary scans suggest that reinforced zones are more likely to contain valuable equipment, making them high-risk, high-reward engagements for Operatives. Command cannot yet determine whether Hostiles are attempting to deny Operatives access to particularly powerful gear, or whet…
- Weapon Deployment Update #2: Shotgun - 6 December 2025
Attention Operatives,Command continues to improve tactical loadouts within the Loop. Following a successful hacking attempt which caused a controlled shift in Erebos's quantum state, our scientists have successfully deployed a new weapon class designed for close-quarters engagements, the Shotgun.Shotguns have now entered circulation across the stations. They offer:Devastating short-range firepowerWide spread impact, effective against clustered HostilesIntegrated kinetic pushback, pushing enemies away on impact and creating breathing room in close encountersOur scientists estimate that, similar to the Railgun deployment, a portion of conventional weapons have undergone this quantum shift and now manifest as Shotguns.For Operatives eager to test these systems, field reports indicate that Aetherion 1-7865 contains a Shotgun readily accessible near the starting area.As always, we encourage…
- New Weapon Deployment Update: Railgun - 2 December 2025
Attention Operatives,Command is always working to improve operative conditions within the Loop. Our scientists have successfully modified a portion of Erebos's quantum state, resulting in the first of several planned upgrades aimed at expanding your tactical options.A new class of weapon, the Railgun, has now been deployed across the stations. Railguns offer:Extreme precisionVery long range, ideal for neutralising threats before they close inHigh penetration power, allowing projectiles to pierce through multiple targets in a straight line. This makes Railguns particularly effective in the narrow corridors that define many Shards.Our scientists estimate that approximately 1 in every 8 weapons has been affected by the quantum state shift. These altered signatures now manifest as Railguns, and can be used by Operatives as their primary weapon.For Operatives eager to test these systems, ear…
- Loop Adjustment Patch 02 - 27 November 2025
Attention Operatives,Command is as always pleased to receive valuable feedback from you. As a result of your efforts, Command has deployed a new stability update designed to improve survivability and tactical flexibility within the Erebos Loop. Several adjustments have been injected into the Loop's quantum fabric:• Increased Credit Yields: destroyable objects and Hostiles now drop slightly more credits, improving purchase capability in holoroom shops during extended Insertions.• Reduced Incoming Damage: Hostile damage output, especially in deeper Shards, has been slightly reduced.• Expanded Tactical Armor Variants: the chances of finding specialized tactical armor have been improved. These suits now feature more pronounced resistances to one, two, or three specific elemental types.• Improved Hot Spring Availability: healing and regeneration Hot Springs now appear more consistently, offe…
- Loop Adjustment Patch: Quality-of-Life Update - 22 November 2025
Attention Operatives! Thanks to your feedback, and after days of painstaking research into Erebos's quantum fabric, Command has successfully injected a new quality-of-life update into the Loop.Changes include:Various Difficulty Adjustments around enemy damage and player's self-damage, to make the experience less punishing.Graphics Improvements: better visibility for bullets and hostile projectiles to improve combat clarity.Improved Control Mapping: Dash is now also mapped to Left Stick Click (L3) for controllers.Auto-Reload: weapons now automatically reload when empty, once the Operative releases the fire button.As always, Command encourages Operatives to continue sharing feedback. Enhancing the Loop experience brings us closer and closer to restoring Erebos.Want to speak to Command directly? Join our Discord channel.
