Research is war.
Helix Dynamics and Ferrox Industries are locked in a ruthless war over a single resource: brains. Every scientist working in your lab earns money and pushes your research forward. Every scientist stolen from the enemy hurts where it counts: the bottom line.
Recruit. Kidnap. Sabotage.
- Recruit the independent researchers in the middle of the map and escort them to your lab… under enemy fire.
- Kidnap the rival company's scientists, right from the heart of their base.
- Sabotage their lab benches, their coffee machine and their armoured doors: a scientist without coffee is a scientist who produces nothing.
- Research new weapons and gadgets: pulse rifle, Tesla cannon, disintegrator, cluster grenades, proximity mines, exoskeleton…
Attack… or hold the base.
Every lab has a weak spot: a different secret entrance on every map (a geyser, a teleporter, an air vent, a freight boxcar, a trapdoor…). It's up to you to seal them off. Grab the blowtorch, nail up planks, weld on steel plates, repair under fire, switch on the defence turret and lay traps: glue, oil, electrified floors, laser alarms, steam jets… While some attack, others defend.
And there's a T-Rex.
Free it from its paddock and watch it devour the other team. Or dodge freight trains, giant bowling balls, a sentry gun, the zombies of the quarantine zone and the museum's security lasers.
