This is a critical stress test for the Austro-Hungarian Empire's finest scavengers. If you participated in the previous test, you will find your progression intact for this session. However, keep in mind that this is the final hurrah for your current gear—a full progression wipe is scheduled for June 22 to ensure a level playing field when the game officially launches on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The developers at Hologryph and TowerHaus haven't just flipped a switch; they have brought some significant meta shifts to this test. The most notable change is a massive buff to Leviathan damage, which has been doubled from 50 to 100. This makes these encounters significantly more lethal and forces a shift in how you navigate the procedurally generated desert. Shotgun cannons have also seen adjustments, alongside various loot and spawn tweaks designed to refine the scavenging economy.
Technical stability is the primary focus here. The team has implemented several hotfixes for server-side performance and addressed lingering bugs with control schemes and world interactions. For a game that relies on the physical presence of massive mobile bases, these interaction fixes are vital for a smooth piloting experience. If you have access, jump in now—you only have 24 hours to test these balance changes and sharpen your raiding skills before the desert claims everything on the 22nd.
