The Outlast Trials: Countdown

Program Countdown straps time-bombs to each player, forcing them to hunt for time extenders as they complete Trials. If the time runs out, the entire team dies a fiery death, resulting in a failed Trial. Get ready to run for precious time; even if you survive this Trial, remember: time comes for us all. Program Countdown will be split into two parts containing a selection of different Trials and MK-Challenges.

  • A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Limited-Time Event
  • Complete Trials and MK-Challenges in the Countdown Program to earn Event Tokens
  • Complete the secondary objective in Countdown Program Trials to gain extra Event Tokens
  • Accomplish Tasks in the Countdown category to earn Event Tokens
  • Spend acquired Event Tokens in the Limited-Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics
  • Once the event ends on October 8th at 10 AM ET, the Catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost

New MK-Challenges at the Docks

Two new MK-Challenges, 'Empty the Vault' and 'Poison the Cattle,' are now available in Part 1 of Program Countdown, taking place from Sept 10 – 24, and they will be included in the new roguelike mode 'Escalation Therapy' map pool and will be featured in the upcoming weekly program rotations.

  • Empty the Vault – Casinos are the temple of idiot waste and willful failure; steal from those who would steal from you.
  • Poison the Cattle – The milk of human kindness must be contaminated with liberty and progress. Poison the cattle and spoil their milk.

In addition to the new content, Red Barrels has implemented a number of fixes and balancing tweaks, enhancing the player experience with new animations, improved Amp abilities, and more.
