Atlas Reactor going free-to-play on January 17th

Those who have requested a free-to-play option for AR are getting their wish. The game is going free-to-play and players will be able to purchase individual characters with a new currency called flux.

Anyone that owns the game prior to the 17th will be receiving a really nice compensation package with some flux, 5k iso, and 5 each of the holo-haunt and holiday matrices!

Winter Sale is on

If you're interested in Atlas Reactor, this is the perfect time to pick up a copy. The All-Freelancer version is 20 bucks. And if you love having all the extra skins and goodies, you can get the ultimate edition for 50, which includes a code for the All-Freelancer version to give to a friend (FYI, when I did this through Steam, I had to contact support to receive my code).

Oh, and there's 25% bonus xp during the sale too.

Details here

A new frontliner, Phaedra, has arrived, along with a holiday event (there are some drop-dead gorgeous skins) and a new Chapter for Season 1.

I haven't had a ton of time to play Phaedra yet, but I really like her ability to do significant damage through walls (and dash through them too). I think this makes her a nice pick for newer players that still struggle with ideal positioning (like yours truly). She also has great control options, making her a solid pick for the new Extraction gameplay mode.

Extraction is inspired by the opening cinematic and requires grabbing a briefcase and returning it to an extraction zone before the other team. But holding the case reveals you and keeps you from sprinting. Not only that, but if you dash or take too much damage, you will drop the case. This mode is playable with bots if you prefer that (though they don't always seem to break for the extraction point when they should) and will only be around for a couple of weeks, so make sure and give it a try.
