From the creators of Dead by Daylight comes Meet Your Maker, Behaviour Interactive’s new spin on the building-and-raiding genre.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, players take on the role of the Custodian, servant to the Chimera: a biological experiment, and the key to humanity’s salvation. Tasked with seeking out uncorrupted genetic material, they must defend and steal this vital resource by building and raiding deadly maze-like structures known as Outposts. Designed for strategy and action fans alike, Meet Your Maker will grow over time, adding new content and featuring an ever-expanding toolbox of traps, guards, and gear. 

Gameplay revolves around the creation and infiltration of stand-alone levels called Outposts. Players will switch between roles as they mastermind devious maze-like Outposts filled with traps and guards, then gear up for methodical fast-paced combat raiding other players’ creations.

In this dying world, players take on the role of the Custodian, servant to the Chimera: a living experiment created as a last resort to save life on Earth. They’ll enter a tactical battle for the planet’s most coveted resource and the key to the Chimera’s evolution: pure Genetic Material. But acquiring it won’t be easy. Players will need to build and fortify maze-like Outposts that extract and guard the precious GenMat, or infiltrate and outsmart other players’ creations to gather more. With every Outpost in the game built by players, user-generated content is the driving force of the experience.

Building is about creating Outposts designed to lure, outwit, and kill trespassing players. To do so, players will combine a huge array of customizable blocks, traps, and guards as they strategically create their deadly masterpiece. The innovative AI recording system allows players to pre-record custom patrol paths for their guards to surprise and swarm raiders. On the flip side, players will also need to raid the Outposts created by others. Each Outpost will test their grit, wit, and reflexes as they try to get in, grab the GenMat, and make it out alive. No two Outposts will ever be the same, making for a highly replayable experience.

New features and gameplay updates are coming to Meet Your Maker on August 15 as part of our first Mid-Sector update! We also have a special teaser at the end of this email hinting at where Meet Your Maker will be taking players next.

Here’s a quick look at some of the new features, content, improvements and more that are coming with the Rising Tides Mid-Sector Update:

New Features and Updates

• Social Raiding Now Enabled for Every Outpost - With this update, every Activated Outpost will automatically have the Social Raid status enabled, meaning that they will always be searchable from the Social Raid menu. Progression and rewards will still only be tied to the Outposts raided from the standard Raid Map, but now Builders will be able to share their levels without worrying about losing out on standard raid rewards.
• Introduction of Daily Challenges - A Daily Challenges system for Raiders will be introduced, replacing the current Chimera Tribute system. Raiders will now have a steady stream of exciting new tasks to complete and will be rewarded for doing so. These challenges also improve gameplay variety by encouraging the use of different mechanics and strategies.

New Gameplay Content & Improvements

To keep Raiders and Builders on their toes, we’re deploying 5 new Mods and Augments. We’ve seen first-hand how quickly the community creates when they have new tools to work with and we're excited to see how these latest additions will shake up life for Custodians in the wasteland. All of the new Mods and Augments will be unlockable with in-game currency. 

In addition, three new solid-color decals will be made instantly available for all players to further push the themes of Sector 1: Dreadshore.

And finally, the new update will be arriving with bug fixes, balance updates and UI refinements.

Sector 2 will give you the chills

Here’s a small tease of what’s coming next to Meet Your Maker. For the previous major content update, players needed to bring an umbrella… this time around, they’ll need something to keep them warm. Sector 2 will be called Shattered Peak and it's right around the corner.

Key Features

• Asynchronous Gameplay: Build when you want, how you want. Even once live, no Outpost is complete until you say it is. Watch its performance, iterate to make it even deadlier, and raid for more resources as often as you like along the way.
• Outpost Building: Immerse yourself in block-based, first-person level design. Claim plots of land and use a variety of blocks, traps, and guards to extract and protect Genmat while creating a deadly challenge for other players to face.
• Outpost Raiding: Jump into a Raider suit , choose your loadout, and switch to intense first-person action as you take on player-built Outposts. Destroy traps and guards for additional building resources and upgrades while raiding for Genmat.
• Customization: A deep, ever-expanding toolbox of traps, guards, mods, and augments deliver a nearly endless combination of creative and strategic options as you fortify underground or build into the sky. Add cosmetics to bring atmosphere, personality, and even distractions to your creation.
• Progression & Upgrades: Provide the Chimera and your 5 specialized Advisors with Genmat to unlock and upgrade your arsenal of traps, guards, weapons, suits, and more. Prestige your Outposts to prolong their lifespan and gain even greater rewards.
• Accolades & Social Raids: Lethal labyrinth? Bullet inferno? Creative masterpiece? Don’t just build an Outpost. Design an experience. Raiders select accolades to describe your creation, rewarding ingenuity, originality, and helping grow its reputation. The Social Raid menu easily connects you to your friends’ or favorite Builders’ Outposts to play at any time.
