Dreadnought Out Today, New Details on Havoc Mode

PlayStation

PlayStation
New enemy ships warp onto the battlefield. Four Destroyers. Two Dreadnoughts. Covered in jagged, rusted panels of armor and bristling with firepower, these vessels look stronger than the ones from the last wave — the one that almost destroyed you and your teammates. If you’re a superstitious captain, now might be a good time to take out your lucky rabbit’s foot.

If you enjoy taking on tough enemies (and even tougher odds), you’ll like Havoc Mode — a new game mode that’s coming first to Dreadnought on PS4, and it’s out now! Havoc is just one of the many additions and improvements in the recently released closed beta patch.

from last December for a general overview of the game. If you’re a veteran captain, read on!

Weather the Storm in Havoc Mode


Havoc Mode is something that we made especially for PS4 players. It’s a cooperative challenge that pits you and two teammates against increasingly difficult waves of enemy ships, which are commanded by the ruthless Dead Horde. Sent by the nation of Troja, this motley faction of criminals and disgraced navy officers will stop at nothing to redeem themselves and fulfill their mission: to destroy the Scum Belt’s navigation beacons — and anyone who gets in their way. Your ability to work with your team and adapt to changing threats determines how long you can withstand their relentless assault.

Havoc is about survival, and growing stronger as the Dead Horde’s ships get increasingly menacing and powerful. Instead of bringing your own ships into battle, you and your team choose your preconfigured vessels every few rounds and upgrade them over time. For example, before a match, you can enhance your ship’s weapons, health or speed — or switch to an entirely new loadout.

Think you can handle the fierce and unrelenting Dead Horde? Jump into a Havoc match to find out!

Last but not least: a lot of players in the closed beta have been asking for an “invert” option for the right control stick. Well, we’ve been listening — now you can find it in the controls menu!
