Alcatraz – MMO Fallout

Defiance’s Alcatraz Update Live Today

Defiance’s latest update Alcatraz is now available. The update introduces a higher level cap, a new zone, new equipment type, and expeditions.

The new zone, Alcatraz, acts as the stage through which players take on expeditions, cooperative maps that task ark hunters with taking on increasingly difficult challenges. Cyber rigs are new equipment that can be customized to improve performance with weapons, shields, and more. There are multiple rigs and chips for customization that can drop during expeditions, or broken down into cyber shards to spend on the Alcatraz vendor.

Also part of the update, Trion Worlds has promised a smoother leveling curve to 6000 EGO score.

Defiance Previews Expeditions

Trion Worlds has posted an article detailing expeditions, a new mini-game coming alongside the Alcatraz update. Expeditions are a series of challenges players can complete, with rewards and difficulty increasing the further the player gets.

In addition to Tiers, a new “Round” tracker shows how many Expeditions you’ve completed in a row. After completing an Expedition, you will be transported back to Alcatraz to rearm, regroup, and purchase gear.

The news post details the kind of enemies you’ll face and how the tier system works.
