Enhanced enemies

Yellow, red, and phantom enemies differ in health, damage, speed, and rewards.

Missions and quests

Eight story missions, ten daily quests, and nine main quests reward full campaign play with XP and Lambda Tokens.

Lambda Tokens

A rare personal reward from red and phantom enemies; the system remains in testing.

Personal chargers

Wall-mounted health and armor stations keep a separate reserve for every player.
