Savage Gauntlet, Exoprimal‘s new full-on co-op mode, is now live. Savage Gauntlet is a new game mode tailored specifically for PVE lovers. It features no direct PVP elements and tasks five exofighters with joining forces to overcome a weekly Dinogauntlet.
Capcom warns that Savage Gauntlet is a high-difficulty challenge for experienced players and that it will keep on rotating its rules and scenarios every week to keep it fresh and harsh.
It’ll still feature some degree of player competition
On top of fighting against the game’s AI, Savage Gauntlet also invites the community to compete for the fastest completion time on the global leaderboards for each platform. This challenge consists of time-attack missions that you can replay as many times as you want. This will allow players to develop the necessary strategies and skills required to achieve the best possible ranks.
Capcom teases that the most successful squads will earn awards for their service.
How to enter the Savage Gauntlet – requirements
All Exoprimal players can access Savage Gauntlet for free. You don’t need the Survival Pass, but there’s one catch. Accessing this expert gauntlet requires players to have beaten the game’s main campaign, which may take up around 20 hours of playtime.
New missions begin each week on Thursdays at 8pm PDT. They’ll end on Mondays at 7:59pm PDT, giving you a nice three days and one minute to rest.
What else is new
Exoprimal is getting seasonal updates rife with awesome new content. On top of the new gauntlet mode, Season 1 will release 10 new Alpha variant exosuits on August 16. Variant exosuits are classes that feature contrasting weapon loadouts and playstyles to the classic ones.
Season 2 will begin in mid-October. It will introduce a new map, mission type, rigs, Modules, and a Street Fighter 6 crossover. Season 3 will hit in January of the next year. It will introduce more variant exosuits, a Neo Triceratops boss, and a Monster Hunter crossover.
Exoprimal sure doesn’t seem like it’s going extinct anytime soon. You can play it on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam).
