You’ve finally made it through Eden? Ready to see what's next?
It’s time to step onto that space elevator and leave the station’s outer ring. You’ll now enter the Outer Core!
Housing the systems that control and run The Arc, the Outer Core is not just home to robot factories and giant plasma generators but to an endless supply of capable and deadly robots. Formerly utilised to maintain the systems surrounding you, they are now standing in the way of your mission.
Having abandoned their tasks of rector maintenance and repairing hull breaches, the Tarantulas have now made it their mission to protect the Outer Core from attack ... your attack. With their plasma shears and electron webs, they can also shield smaller spider bots from taking damage. Whether you're a fan of spiders or not, these eight-legged droids will definitely make your skin crawl.
Berserkers and Cannoneer have teamed up with those creepy crawlers and dangerous Elementals, the former an agile droid which takes pleasure in launching plasma axes your way, the latter armed with damaging void canons. Better attack them from a distance, you don't want to be standing too close when the Berserker unleashes his rush attack which will knock you off your feet!
Can you withstand the attacks the guardians of the Outer Core send your way, or will you surrender and begin your mission anew?
Now Entering: Eden Heights
Eden awaits!
The name speaks for itself. After you've completed ArcRunner's second stage, you'll enter the zone of The Arc's most fortunate inhabitants. Home to the rich and wealthy, Eden Heights is brimming with pristine, manicured trees and graceful towers and is always overlooked by futuristic capsules carrying important people to even more important places - until everyone disappeared.
Defeat sleek and advanced enemies in combat on your mission to ultimately defeat the zone guardian: The Swarm.
Be on high alert or be attacked! To make it to the next level, defeat fast and agile Assassins which will, more often than not, show up out of nowhere. Once used as personal bodyguards for the elite inhabiting Eden, these shock troopers and their powerful katana might quickly become your worst enemy.
With all its inhabitants gone, Eden's guardians can now focus their full attention on you. Stryders - police droids - will catch you off guard with their tracking lasers covering a large area. Be quick to reach them in time to avoid taking damage - their lasers rarely miss.
Shotgun Droids, on the other hand, carry short-range plasma shotguns but have been equipped with jump jets by KORE. Be prepared for them to leap into the air and catch up with you quickly and unexpectedly!
Are you ready to expect the unexpected and accept the challenges of Eden Heights?
Now Entering: Starship Docks
Welcome to Stage Two!
Congratulations, Runner, you’ve survived The City! It’s now time to enter Starship Docks. Surrounded by energy pipes and dismantled spaceships, find a way through the endless stream of starships delivering goods and retrieving waste.
Although slow, the Docks' enemies are deadly but due to their industrial nature, they are much harder to kill. Starship Docks is filled with droids and bots repurposed by KORE which will now try everything in their power to prevent you from completing your mission!
Keep an eye out for Bruisers! Equipped with an energy shield normally used to protect the droid from harmful solar radiation, they will now use their shield every chance they get ... and damage you in the process. Make sure to keep a distance and attack this enemy from afar. Get too close and it will unleash a devastating shield bash attack!
From Beamers - long-range spiderbots eager to attack you with their tri-lazer configuration - to Arc Throwers and Minelayers, which will launch their demolition charges when you least expect them, the Docks are nothing short of a challenge.
Beware of your surrounding as danger is not just lurking on the ground! Don't disregard the Jumpers floating above you. Although slow-moving, these assault troopers carry powerful rocket launchers with a wide area-of-effect!
Have you got what it takes to beat Starship Docks and ascent to the next level?
