Tacticool — patch notes 2.18.0

Tacticool x Left to Survive DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL Event

Tacticoolers, get ready to descend into a place not everyone can escape from. The underground research complex in Zone 39 is once again engulfed in chaos, while the Necrovirus continues to spread. This time, you'll face a previously unknown threat.

The DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL event, in collaboration with Left to Survive, is a challenge where every descent becomes a fight for survival. In the Halloween-themed DESCENT mode, the world of the tactical shooter Tacticool and the post-apocalyptic world of Left to Survive, where zombies have enslaved the Earth and taken control, come together in a single story. The deeper you go, the more dangerous the path becomes. Will you be able to face this new threat, make it to the end, and escape the underground alive?

  • The Infected in new forms and the dangerous elite Necrommandos await you — these enemies will require you to come up with new tactical approaches.
  • Choose a new Augmentation bonus at the start of each match and build up its effect as you progress through the floors. Make every descent into the underground complex unique!
  • Unlock research projects in the special LABORATORY, available only during the event, and expand the capabilities of your equipment.
  • Test yourself on the FIXER difficulty level — it's back for fighters ready to take on the ultimate challenge.
  • Complete event missions, fight the Infected, and prove that you can survive under the most dangerous conditions.
  • Take part in the Event Competition — compete for a spot among the best and win prizes available only once a year. During the final week of the event, you'll also face the Daily Competition with additional rewards.
  • Don't miss your chance to collect all the Tacticool x Left to Survive collaboration items and stand out with a unique arsenal!

The DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL event will run from October 11 (10:00 UTC) to November 1 (10:00 UTC). Available for all players with a rating of 1,000 or higher.

DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL Event Pass

The Event Pass offers a variety of resources and items that will help your Tactical Group survive in the underground complex and on the battlefield in classic matches. Unlock all 30 levels of the Pass to get Silver, Gold, Toxicoins, Arsenal Token I, and other rewards FOR FREE, as well as the rare "OVERHEAT" weapon skin.

Activate the Premium and Elite Event Passes to get MORE resources, the epic "SOFT TOUCH" weapon skin, and the exclusive Tacticool x Left to Survive collaboration weapon — the epic NECROMANCER machine gun. Complete all Premium Event Pass levels and add a new weapon to your arsenal!

NECROMANCER is a portable machine gun that unfolds into a fortified turret with protective shields when deployed. The unique REFLECTIVE ALLOY mod adds a special bullet-ricocheting coating to its shields when installed. The machine gun's distinctive look is complemented by a Left to Survive-inspired design on its shields.

DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL Event Shop

The Event Shop features Operator outfits, weapon skins, and many other items for your gear. Pay special attention to the collectible items inspired by the world of Left to Survive: the epic "ASHCROFT" booster hat, which grants additional event points in matches when equipped, and the epic outfits for Operators JASON and MCMEAN, based on the appearances of Left to Survive heroes Michael Bennett and "Doc" Bill McCarthy.

DARKTOBER: SURVIVAL Competition

In Zone 39, danger lurks on every floor, but only the most resilient will be able to earn the most event points and claim the top spots on the leaderboard. Fight, take risks, and prove that you're the one capable of surviving a clash with this new threat. The best fighters will receive profile avatars and add a valuable Tacticon to their collection.
