Greetings, Pilots!
We’ve shown parts of Dreadnought and Leviathan—two new storylines introduced in our upcoming EVERSPACE 2: Titans DLC, launching September 16. Both of these quest chains add new story, challenges, enemies, and most importantly, sweet new loot!
We’ve shown a selection of the new legendaries, gear, and consumables in our Dreadnought and Leviathan streams leading up to launch. Now, it’s time to reveal a short list of MOST of the new gear found by battling the Dreadnought and exploring Leviathans. The team is still tweaking some of these effects, so what you see on day one may differ slightly from what’s described below.
Live out your Trogdor fantasies in EVERSPACE 2: Titans! Be the best dragon you can be.
New Legendaries
Judgment Day - Mine Launcher
Launches weaponized mines that fire a deadly autocannon barrage in all directions, dealing heavy damage in a radius for a short period of time. When triggered by an enemy, the mines hold their position.
Force Forge - Energy Core
Activates all modes for the Magnetic Repulsor device. Additionally deals energy damage and kinetic damage to all affected enemies..
Viscous Intent - Bio Weapon
Ejects blobs of goo that stick to surfaces and enemies and explode after a short time. Enemies are slowed and receive increased damage for each blob stuck to them, stacking up to 10 times.
Inferno - Bio Weapon
Emits a stream of super-heated plasma that sticks to surfaces and enemies, dealing additional damage for a short time.
XM-426 - Bio Weapon
Discharges acrid projectiles that apply a stack of “Corrosive Slime”, dealing additional kinetic damage as Corrosion over time. Each stack reduces the target’s movement and fire rate. Stacks up to 6-10 times.
Hollow - Armor Plating
Has no capacity itself but grants repair per kill directly to the hull instead. Increased hull damage reduction.
New item sets? Gotta collect ‘em all!
New Item Sets
Power Oscillator Set
The set is all about balancing the energy between weapons and thrusters.
Set items: Munition Motor (Booster), Coulomb Collector (Cargo Unit), Dualcore Alternator (Energy Core)
Set Bonus 1: Collecting energy orbs overcharges the weapon and boost energy capacity which then slowly deflates back to normal.
Set Bonus 2: While boost energy is overcharged, gain increased handling. While weapon energy is overcharged, gain decreased weapon spread.
Symbiosis Set
Spores are great. Nothing wrong ever comes from spores.
Set items: Exoskeleton (Plating), Suffusion Field (Shield), Impulse Modulator (Energy Core), Transfusion Missiles (Homing Missiles)
Set Bonus 1: Destroyed debuffed targets will leave behind a mending spores field for a short time that restores some hull and armor over time when flying through it.
Set Bonus 2: Mending spores will provide 2 random buffs and remove previous ones.
Set Bonus 3: Destroying an enemy will refresh active timers on buffs granted by mending spores.
Together We Stand Set
Inspired by wingmates from the Dreadnought storyline.
Set items: Cardéna’s Support (Pulse Laser), Yuen’s Escape (Booster), XR’s Ingenuity (Cargo Unit), Rakhima’s Foresight (Sensor)
Set Bonus 1: While under target lock, the ship can deploy a grabbable decoy that redirects the incoming missile.
Set Bonus 2: While in combat, an armed holographic ship will materialize nearby and obliterate smaller targets.
Set Bonus 3: Destroying an enemy will create a panzer bomb which can either be shot to detonate, or can be grabbed and thrown. Deals heavy area damage.
Brood Mines swarm and shred enemy ships. Fun to watch, not so fun to have happen to you.
New Non-Legendary Weapons
Cardéna’s Support - Pulse Laser
Part of the Together We Stand Set
Energy arsenal with an engagement detection system calibrated to increase the fire rate as more friendies are detected nearby. Increases fire-rate for every friendly unit within range up to a certain point.
Brood Mines - Mine Launcher
Packed with eggs of metal-eating annelid spaceworms that hatch on impact and attack in swarms. Upon detonation, the mine releases a creature swarm that seeks out and attacks nearby enemies.
Spore Missiles - Homing Missiles
Warheads with heavily compressed chambers of neuroinfectious chemicals that flood into life support systems. Applies the Confused condition for a short time.
Cluster Mines - Mine Launcher
Inspired by an old design by Dr. Vohs, these proximity mines are packed in loosened racks that spread after launch. Upon detonation, the mine scatters into many smaller proximity mines.
EMP Mines - Mine Launcher
Miniaturized EMP devices packed with proximity sensors that arc toward and short out nearby power sources. Mines deal their damage over 8s and apply EMP to affected enemies.
Multi-Coil - Coil Gun
Multi-chamber mass driver with understandable spread, downsized to fit on the wings of a spacecraft. Additional projectiles per shot.
High Fire-Rate (HFR) Flak - Flak
Cannon with shorter launch tubes and smaller rounds that sacrifice attack range, spread and radius for a healthy fire rate increase.
Siege Cannon - Gauss Cannon
Destructive ordnance that dumps generated energy into inertial dampening systems to avoid overheating while locking movement. Decreased ship speed while firing.
Tail Mines - Mine Launcher
Drops mine behind the player instead of launching in front.
Transfusion Missiles - Homing Missiles
Part of the Symbiosis Set
Parasite-like missile that intrusively binds itself to defense systems and feeds energy back to the launcher. 'Missiles deal their damage over time and restore your ship for the respective amount.
Endo Pulsator - Pulse Laser
Altered pulse weaponry that launches endothermic particles, capable of converting disabled target systems into pure energy. Fully restore weapon energy if the target's shield or armor has been depleted with this weapon.
Initiator - Rail Gun
Controversial yet effective long range ambush weaponry known for a wide variety of petty and efficient tactics. Unaware targets receive increased damage and reduced speed for a short period of time.
New gear means new builds to tackle those 2000 lunacy rifts!
New Gear
Scrap Screen - Plating
Meticulously crafted plating that utilizes technology from outdated drone disassembler devices, automatically. 'Slowly dismantle enemy drones in range into armor hitpoints.
Twin Surge - Booster
Multipurposed engine module coupled to a second capacitor which force-feeds energy once a threshold is reached. After boosting a short time, gain additional boost speed.
Impulse Modulator - Energy Core
Part of Symbiosis Set
Brain-like core that treats the ship as a living organism and produces mechanical adrenaline when under stress. A percentage of incoming damage also restores weapon and boost energy for the respective amount.
Coulomb Collector - Cargo Unit
Part of Power Oscillator Set
Thoughtfully designed cargo containment system that detects and collects expended energy charges. Attacks that break a target's shield will drop an energy orb.
Dualcore Alternator - Energy Core
Part of the Power Oscillator Set
Dual capacitor design that feeds energy into itself through a complex assortment of alternating channels. While firing, gain increased boost output. While boosting, gain increased weapon output.
Exoskeleton - Plating
Part of the Symbiosis Set
Tendon-like armor that stretches across and binds itself so tightly that armor restoration also applies to the ship hull. Repair per kill applies to the hull so long as armor is full.
Munition Motor - Booster
Part of the Power Oscillator Set
Augmented engine paired with a power controller that attunes weapon systems the longer it runs. Boosting increases weapon range, increases weapon velocity, and reduces weapon spread by a percentage every second, to a maximum.
Rakhima’s Foresight - Sensor
Part of the Together We Stand Set
Scanning unit hardwired directly with primary weapons to subvert charge requirements by making weapons "see" a full charge before they actually do. 'Chargeable weapons gain increased charge speed.
Suffusion Field (Shield)
Part of the Symbiosis Set
Organic-based fast-flowing recompensation shield which allows bypassing delays via excessive force. Repair percentage of all hull damage dealt as shield hitpoints with each hit.
XR’s Ingenuity - Cargo Unit
