TL;DW:

  • Stormbreaker is intended as a “next step in the exploration gameplay”.
  • Stormbreaker is not an event or a mission taken from the mobi, it’s a permanent sandbox activity.
  • Stormbreaker is a continuation of the regen crisis storyline focused on another company.
  • New facilities have a new door lock mechanic which requires players to dress in faction specific clothing.
  • Lots of unique loot hidden around.
  • Finding tips on how to progress requires reading through lore strewn around the locations.
  • Storm around the next location does distortion damage to your ship, gotta go on foot. Also deals radiation damage when on foot.
  • To travel through the storm you have to take shuttles on the edges of the storm.
  • Expect to fight against lots of NPCs and wildlife.
  • This activity will come with audio logs to find.
  • More story content coming in August.
