Introduction
Introducing the Super Gore Nest Master Level, a thrilling addition to the game that takes combat to a whole new level. Designed to push players beyond their limits, this challenging experience will test their skills like never before. With environmental hazards and changing conditions, players will need to adapt their approach to combat in order to succeed. Plus, there are exciting rewards up for grabs, including player icons, nameplates, and cosmetics, all earned by completing the Super Gore Nest Master Level in different difficulties and modes.
In addition to the new Master Level, the Classic Mode offers a fresh twist on gameplay. Starting with only the Combat Shotgun, players must scavenge for weapons and mods throughout the level to survive. For those seeking an even greater challenge, the Extra-Life Difficulty has been added, where permadeath awaits once all Extra Lives are depleted. And for the true masters, the Ultra Nightmare Difficulty will put their skills to the ultimate test, with no chance to gain Extra Lives.
But that’s not all! Get ready for the upcoming Gift Wrap and Tear Event, filled with festive fun and cosmetic collectibles. Starting on December 10th, this event promises to bring holiday cheer like never before. So, hold onto your butts and prepare for a jolly good time as you unwrap the joy of this free in-game event. Merry Youmas to all!
