Embarking on the journey to ascend the unforgiving Shattered Peak isn't just about taking on gruelling Outposts on a quest for GenMat, it’s a pursuit for glory. For every Custodian, climbing the ranks isn’t merely a quest for rewards; it’s the pursuit of bragging rights. A testament to their skill and dedication.
As the snowstorm begins to subside on the Shattered Peak, the time has come for the unveiling of the much-anticipated Sector 2 ranked rewards.
Ranked rewards in Meet Your Maker are granted on four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Master. You enter the ranking system once you hit Player Level 5, and from there, the sky’s the limit. Finishing the season with a rank of Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Master will earn you the corresponding decal as well as the decals from lower tiers. These shiny, intricately designed cosmetics can be placed above an Outpost’s entrance or anywhere else within its walls as a not-so-subtle reminder to Raiders of who they’re up against.
Similarly to the Sector 2 Ranked Reward decals, these unique decals ensure a more seamless differentiation between tiers – where Gold gleams brilliantly and Masters exudes a radiant, captivating emissive glow!
Ranked Rewards also include two Raider cosmetics. Those earning a rank of Silver or higher will receive the Pandemic skin for the Sledgeblade while those earning a rank of Gold or higher will also receive the Deadly Upsurge skin for the Nautilus Custodian.
All rewards will be granted once Sector 3 releases and the next season begins. Until then, build like an evil genius, raid like there’s no tomorrow, and lock up those bragging rights while you can!

Hotfix Notes - 11/14/2023
Hey Custodians, we have just released another hotfix to address some of the issues that have arose since the release of our mid-sector update. For a full breakdown, please see the patch notes below:
BALANCING CHANGES
We have reduced the size of the Corrosive Cube’s Spontaneous Mod’s acid puddles from 300cm to 200cm and increased the attack cooldown from 1sec to 1.5secs. - The Spontaneous Mod was found to be stronger than intended which made it difficult to navigate through some Outposts. These changes should allow this mod to better serve as a useful area denial tool to combine with other defenses to keep Raiders moving.
We have shortened the effective range of the Ravager’s attack to 20m.
BUG FIXES
We have fixed an issue causing acid from a Corrosive Cube’s Spontaneous and Splatter Mods to create damage zones larger than intended, which made it difficult to navigate through sloped areas.
Fixed an issue causing Decals earned through the Expeditions Reward Track to be incorrectly changed to the Light’s End 1 decal when cloned.
Fixed an issue displaying all Outposts as the easiest difficulty rating (half skull), from the Social Raid menu.
Fixed an issue causing the Loadout prompt to remain on screen when resuming building from Test My Base.
Fixed additional issues with text and localisation in the Expeditions menus.
Fixed a game title crash related to Easy Anti-Cheat.

Expeditions Have Arrived!
Greetings Custodians,
Our mid-sector update featuring Raiding 2.0: Expeditions, has arrived, and with this update comes new features and content, balancing changes, quality-of-life updates, bug fixes and more! For a detailed breakdown, please see the patch notes below:
NEW FEATURES & CONTENT: RAIDING 2.0: EXPEDITIONS Expeditions are an all-new way to engage with the game’s Raiding experience. The Raid Map has gotten an overhaul, which will present you with 3 difficulties of Expeditions to embark on, each with a different level of challenge for the Outposts you’ll Raid.
Upon selecting an Expedition, you’ll begin on a node-based Expedition Map with a web of branching paths, filled with Outposts to Raid and rewards to collect. As you clear Outposts, you’ll earn in-game currency (Synthite, Parts and Cells), new game-changing Enhancements and progress through the brand-new free Seasonal Reward Track.
As you complete Expedition Zones, you’ll earn Expedition Points which are used to unlock exciting rewards from the Seasonal Reward Track such as exclusive cosmetics, decals, and the new Enhancements.
ENHANCEMENTS: Enhancements are new equippable and depletable gameplay buffs that you can add to your loadout. They greatly change the Raiding experience, providing buffs like increased grapple speed, extra jumps, exploding ranged ammo, and much more!
Enhancements are consumed by using charges. A charge is used upon leaving the Safe Zone and lasts until the Outpost has been completed. Enhancements can be swapped mid-Raid, although doing so will consume a charge on the newly equipped Enhancement the next time you exit the Safe Zone. You will still have lost the charge on the previously equipped Enhancement.
They come in 4 potential rarities, Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic, each with increasing levels of impact, and they can be earned from completing Outposts, through the Expeditions Map for reaching the end node of branches, as well as from the seasonal Rewards Track.
Enhancements can also be used in Social Raids without the worry of an Enhancement charge being consumed, so this is a perfect way to test out these new tools!
MODS & AUGMENTS: NEW GUARD AUGMENTS:
(Enforcer) Seeker Bolts: The Guard fires bolts that home in on their target.
(Hornet) Sluggish: The projectile now leaves a spherical slowing field that reduces Custodian movement.
(Ravager) Combat Ready: Increases how quickly the Guard engages in combat once alerted.
NEW TRAP MODS
(Impaler) Red Hot: Burning spikes kill anyone who touches their sides. Slightly increases the amount of time the Trap is extended.
(Corrosive Cube) Spontaneous: Deadly liquid is constantly ejected from the Trap.
DYNAMIC DIFFICULTY RATINGS ENABLED In our Sector 2: Shattered Peak update, we released a new granular 10-point difficulty scale symbolized by skulls, meaning the more skulls you see, the deadlier the Outpost. This replaced the previous system which featured Normal, Dangerous and Brutal Outpost difficulties.
This overhaul brought in a new system which makes it easier for Raiders to choose the kind of Outposts they want to play. This change not only affected how the difficulty is displayed, but how it’s calculated.
As of today’s update, Outpost Difficulty Ratings will now be dynamic, and will actively change based on how Raiders perform in the Outpost. Raider kills will now be considered when attributing an Outpost’s difficulty.
The initial Difficulty Ratings will rely on the defence configuration of the Outpost, and then will be adjusted over time based on Raider kills as your Outposts are Raided, so we’re calling on you Custodians, raid as much as possible!
Making changes to your Outposts will readjust the Difficulty based on the initial Difficulty Rating.
HALLOWEEN DECALS:
Embrace your Halloween spirit with five glow-in-the-dark decals! These decorations will add a touch of fright to your devious creations! These and other spooky rewards are available to unlock on the Expeditions Reward Track.
WISH YOU WERE HERE DECAL
The long-awaited arrival of the smiling “Wish You Were Here” decal is finally here. Use it to taunt lost Raiders at a dead-end or brighten up your Outposts with a smile. It’s the perfect way to communicate both joy and mischief with a touch of style!
QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES
Loot Magnetization: Parts and Synthite are now automatically magnetized to the player when in close proximity. Using the “Pick Up Magnet” Enhancement will increase the radius at which the loot is magnetized.
We have added a "!" new item notification on the Raider HUD's Loadout prompt to indicate when a new Loadout item is available.
We have updated the game engine to Unreal 5.2.
BALANCING CHANGES TRAPS BALANCING:
Incinerator: Fire damage is now applied over time, leaving a small window for the Raider to avoid death.
ADVISOR SHOPS:
All Synthite costs for unlockable items and item upgrades have been removed. Synthite is now exclusively used for Building and Advisor Boosts.
Parts costs have been removed from all initial item unlocks. Unlocks now only cost Cells.
All upgrades now cost Cells and Parts, and the Parts costs for upgrades have been rebalanced.
Cells costs have been significantly reduced across all purchases that require them. This is inline with reduced Cells rewards that will be listed below.
The cost to craft Phoenix Pods have been reduced from 50 to 20 Parts.
The cost to craft Flash Barriers have been reduced from 50 to 30 Parts.
RAIDING:
We have increased the Guaranteed Rewards for completing Raids:
Champion Outposts now reward Parts OR Synthite, not both. Rewards are now different per difficulty. - Previous Reward: 100 Synthite and Parts. (All Difficulties) - New Normal Difficulty Outposts Reward: 75 Parts OR 100 Synthite - New Dangerous Difficulty Outposts Reward: 100 Parts OR 125 Synthite - New Brutal Difficulty Outposts Reward: 150 Parts OR 175 Synthite
We have also added new sources of Cells, Parts and Synthite which are obtainable through the Expeditions system.
CHIMERA LEVELS:
We have removed the Parts and Synthite rewards from levelling up the Chimera.
Cells rewards for levelling up the Chimera have been decreased from 250 to 100.

All Synthite challenge rewards have been increased from 250 to 300.
All Parts challenge rewards have been increased from 250 to 300.
RANKING:
Ranking Points received from Building have been doubled.
Ranking Points received from Raiding is now dependent on the difficulty of the Outpost but have been generally increased across the board.
HARVESTER:
The friendly Harvester is now immune to Corrosive Cube acid.
WEAPONS BALANCING:
Arc Barrier: The uptime has been decreased from 1.5s to 1s.
Demolition Cannon: Level 1 ammo has been increased from 2 to 3, and from 3 to 4 at Level 2.
BUG FIXES ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES:
The Path of the Chimera achievement has been replaced, as the feature it was based on has been removed. The new achievement, Social Raider, can be unlocked by grabbing the GenMat and escaping in a Social Raid. This new achievement will be automatically unlocked for users who unlocked Path of the Chimera in the past.
ADVISOR BOOSTS:
We have fixed an issue displaying a Harvester path of 0m for some Outposts after activating the Watchman boost. - Note: This fix will require any Outpost that displays this issue to be reopened by the Builder after downloading this patch update. The issue will be resolved as soon as the Builder loads into the Outpost, so this issue may still be displayed for a few days but should die down over time.
AUDIO:
We have fixed an issue preventing the Overseer's Slipstreamer Biolink audio from playing when the Biolink is equipped on a different suit.
Fixed an audio issue occurring when multiple Sentry Beam lasers would hit around the same target.
