The Outlast Trials – Toxic Shock

A Deadly Challenge Awaits! From April 16 to May 7, 2024, The Outlast Trials will introduce Toxic Shock, a new realm of terror featuring:

  • Time Limited Program "Toxic Shock": An experiment in the symbiotic action of chemically-induced pain and permanent damage.
  •  New Variator: Toxic Shock – The Trial environment sporadically fills with toxic gas, inflicting permanent damage. Hide to stay alive.
  • New Secondary Objective: Collect The Rats –  Recover all the drugged rats within the Trial for tissue analysis. Fulfill the objective for additional rewards.
  • Rewards: Complete Trials in this time-limited program to earn exclusive Toxic Shock Rewards.
  • And More: Uncover the secrets of Toxic Shock by locating new evidence documents scattered throughout the Trials …and many quality-of-life improvements.

Justice, Sabotage, and Beyond

In the coming weeks, players can look forward to new Mk-Challenges:

  • Tilt The Scales of Justice – A test of moral and strategic might against the backdrop of corruption. Can real evidence of false crimes outweigh the power of corrupting wealth? Load the scales of Lady Justice and observe.
  • Sabotage the Factory – A daring mission to halt the sinister operations of the Murkoff Corporation. Murkoff controls the means of production; use the emergency breaks to shut down the factory.
