GTFO gets massive update “Infection” – new levels, new enemies, and more, on March 31st
GTFO is a 4-player co-op action/horror FPS game, made for hardcore gamers looking for a challenge. The game takes place in a terrifying underground facility called “the Complex”, where your team’s survival relies on your ability to communicate, coordinate – and count your bullets. Today, they are showing a recorded gameplay session the developers had, revealing the first expedition of their next big update (Rundown #002), which will be named “Infection” – hinting at its theme.
In the video, you can see the group of four pursuing the objective to locate a “TERMINAL_546” and from that, establish an external uplink. It’s up to the team to find out how to get to this terminal; GTFO doesn’t give many clues such as waypoints or directions. Finding your way involves looking for signs on walls and doors, and accessing data hidden in computer terminals scattered across the facility.
Ulf Andersson, founder of 10 Chambers had this to say of the new DLC
“GTFO doesn’t hold any hands and places demand on cooperation from the start; communicate with your team to find out if they see any signs on the walls or doors, to make progress. On this particular expedition we’re playing in the video, the players need to work together to establish an external uplink from a terminal: One team member will need to type in commands that are only visible on the screens of the three other players – who will need to shout them, while also combating an onslaught of monsters. As you can see in the video, it gets intense”
Visible in the video are also two new weapons: A machine pistol and a burst rifle. When the update is released – and is made available free for everyone that owns GTFO – on March 31st, it will also include a total of 10 new expeditions of which some need unlocking, as well as new enemies and objectives.
Simon Viklund, co-founder of 10 Chambers added
“The update will include 10 new maps in total but we’re trying out an exciting new feature as well, that we call Warden Restriction. When we release the update, it will have a number of the expeditions locked. When a certain number of people have completed the tiers that lead up to those expeditions, the locked ones will become accessible […] We hope this will encourage even more help and engagement between our community members, which we have seen a lot of already – and we feel very grateful to have such a nice and friendly community!”
GTFO already has a very active community, especially on Discord where they’re one of the largest servers right now with over 175.000 members. This Discord server used for people to find team members as well as discussing GTFO or helping new people understand the game.
This new update, named Infection (Rundown #002), will be available March 31st, 1 PM CET, to everyone that owns GTFO Early Access.
