To further celebrate our event with Black Mesa, we have released three brand new unlockable skins for the Manta. These skins are exclusive to the Black Mesa Bundle and will be available as unlockables until August 4th! Just like the other Black Mesa unlockables, you must own a copy of Black Mesa, and complete a match in Intruder to unlock the items.
Alongside the new Manta skins, we're also releasing Update 2287! For this, we have focused on getting rid of some bugs, and polishing the overall gaming experience. This update includes:
Update 2287
Fixed a bug causing players to be invisible or out of place
Fixed laser sensor sound spam
Fixed slip zone sound spam
Fixed Scrolling UVs exception
That's all for today, Agents! Take a clip and show off those new skins in our Discord! We would love to see your rad skills.
See you on the Island,

Intruder x Black Mesa - Mission Briefing
Agents!
Your new assignment starts today! I hope you came prepared, as this one isn’t your usual briefcase stealing gig.
But first, make sure to check out the Developer Livestream happening here and watch the Superboss Games team push the Crowbar Collective devs into an afternoon of Intruder madness! Grab your hats and tune in to cheer for your favorite team.
Before anything, we have a surprise for our most avid Intruder players! Coming with the event, we're excited to announce there will be a 200% EXP Boost for a week (until August 4th at 12 CST) to help you grind levels, and get awesome new unlockables!
... Unlockables you say? Exclusively for this event, we have Black Mesa themed patches, hats, and more coming! Jump on Intruder now to collect them all:
We also have exclusive menu backgrounds, and some more for your player profiles!
There are currently two very special hats! They will be available for anyone that plays Intruder for an hour if they own Black Mesa in their Steam library! This will only be available until August 4th at 12 CST.
Now, to the event!
You are tasked to create a Black Mesa Themed map to help new Agents from the Crowbar Collective to discover Intruder!
If you do not own Intruder or Black Mesa just yet, take advantage of our special Bundle: Get one of, or both the games for 50% OFF.
The Bundle will last for one week only, until August 4th at 12 CST!
Now Agents, there’s some rules to this event! Read your mission objectives carefully:
The map must be created for this contest, not previously uploaded on the workshop or elsewhere.
You can use previously created assets but not entire maps. This means not taking an old map and adding the Black Mesa flair!
The map must be created by you, of course. Any stolen layouts or entire maps won’t be considered.
The theme must be around Black Mesa and be the key element in the aesthetics and/or playstyle of the map.
You can submit the map as a collaboration between multiple people, but be aware that the prizes will not be duplicated if you win! You'll have to figure out how to split them evenly between team members.
All submissions must be submitted to the workshop by September 28th at 12 AM CST and link posted in the #map-submissions channel.
Maps Will Be Judged By The Black Mesa & Intruder Teams Based On The Following Criteria:
How fun it is to play.
How well the map is designed.
Originality and creativity.
How creatively the Black Mesa theme is involved.
Upvotes on the Steam Workshop (Influences but does not decide).
To get started, make sure to join our Discord server and reach out to mapmakers there! We also have plenty of resources to get you started below.
Remember, take inspiration from Black Mesa, use Intruder mechanics, and create the best community map ever made to win prizes!
If you need inspiration, take a look at our awesome community made maps from previous events here and here!
Get Started:
Download Unity 2020 (ver 3.37f1) from the Unity Hub

The winners of the contest will get the following prizes:
1st Place:

$100 USD Steam Gift Card.
Poster and Stickers from Black Mesa and Intruder.
x1 Game Key per Game.

Intruder - Arcade Machine Contest
Calling all Agents!
We have a brand new mission for you, and we think you’re going to love this assignment! Our Agent Polybius has been compromised, and is requesting you to provide him the tools needed for his safe extraction.
Your task is to design the assets for an Arcade Cabinet that will be implemented in the next Phil’s Map! Polybius will create the 3D model and use your art on the cabinet should you win. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create two assets: a side panel, and a banner for the Arcade Cabinet.
The assets should fit the retro / 80s style of a classic Arcade Cabinet, and be about Intruder. Be creative, get some inspiration online, and show us what you can do!
The rules are as follows:
A submission must contain two assets: A side panel (2048*2048 minimum) and a banner (1024*2048 minimum).
Only one submission (containing both assets) per person is allowed.
The assets must be created by you, of course. Any stolen ones won’t be considered.
Must be submitted on Discordby July 22nd, 12PM CST in the #arcade-submissions channel.
No discussions in the event channel please, but feel free to react to the artist’s posts and show some love! Your reactions will help with the final judging. Any discussions will be deleted from the channel to keep things clean.
All submissions must follow the server's rules, and Discord Terms of Service.
Submissions will be judged by the Community Management team, Discord Mods, and the AUG team. The assets will be critiqued on the following:
Originality and creativity.
Fitting the retro arcade theme of the contest.
How well the assets are realized.
Reactions on the submission piece will be considered in the judging process.
The winners of the contest will receive the following:
First place:
The winner’s art will be used in the next installment of the Phil’s maps.

June is here, and with it, we're bringing the heat in the Steam Summer Sale! We are stoked to announce that Intruder is going to be 50% OFF until July 7th. If you don't own the game yet, it's the perfect time to join our ranks!
To make it even better, all matches will have a 200% XP Boost until the end of the event! Grind those cool hats, Agents!

This sale will be available from June 23rd to July 7th!
Now, with that said... We have something special for you Agents!
Update 2247 - Introducing Armor
Our team has been hard at work implementing a brand new feature that we are excited to release today in Intruder!
Armor is coming in Intruder and it's coming in hot!
While it's still subject to changes and further balancing, the team spent a lot of time implemeting it and making sure it fits the game nicely as a brand new gadget. You are now able to pick it up in various maps, but doing so has a fair share of setbacks!
Pros of using Armor:
Armour protects your entire body.
Reduces incoming damage by 40%.
Reduces balance damage by 65%.
Walking and crouching speed won't be affected.
Cons of using Armor:
Slower running speed.
The shotgun completely ignores balance damage reduction.
You can no longer silently walk, crouch or jump.
Wearing armour produces a different sound compared to simply walking.
Jumping with the armour will also consume twice the usual energy.
Alongside the update, comes some changes and fixes:
Map Maker 2.086
Added Heavy Armor pickup
Changes
Explosions now have balance drop off based on distance. So if your leg is just around a corner, you should not fall.
Variable head shot damage to account for armor
Let us know what you think about the Armor set coming to Intruder in our Discord!
See you on the Island, Agents!
