A key objective involves seeking out the missing Head of Operations, Helen Marshall, as she is believed to hold crucial information regarding the escalating threat.

New Equipment and Customization

The expansion introduces new weapons and modifications specifically for Jesse’s Service Weapon. These additions are thematically inspired by the deepest, most mysterious aspects of the Oldest House, offering players fresh tactical options for approaching combat scenarios encountered in the caverns.
