• A Battle for the Biocores - Set in a constantly changing BioPunk world where everything wants to kill you. Work with your allies, battle against three other teams, and give it everything you’ve got to come out on top and successfully extract the precious biocores. 
• Unpredictable Firefights - Every encounter is different and adaptation is key. The very structure of the world will shift around you with each new visit, so learning to adapt is paramount to both your survival and your success. 
• Your game, your way - Customisation is a fundamental part of the Ascendant Infinity experience. Dress and fight how you want with thousands of potential customisation options to choose from. Be a fashionista, or go for a bright and bold look, just so your adversaries know exactly who took them down. No matter what you choose, it’ll have blood all over it soon enough.
• Persistent Lobby - Nobody likes waiting! A persistent social lobby, designed with players in mind, provides plenty of fun before the bullets start flying. A wide range of different experiences await, complete with leaderboards and speed challenges. Or hang out and make new friends before heading out into the thick of battle - this is your space to do whatever you want with.

Every match is a novel encounter, with changing landscapes, extraction points, strategies, and weapon dynamics. Familiar yet ever-evolving – each game challenges your ability to adapt to, and master, the changing conditions. Your ability to adapt is as critical as your combat skills. Continuous changes to the environment, resource locations, and enemy tactics demand quick thinking and flexible strategies. Your survival hinges on how well you adapt to these dynamic elements, where each event promises a distinct and unforgettable experience.

Here's a glimpse of what awaits:

• Air Strike: Turn the tide of battle with the devastating power of an airstrike! Access the central tower's missile launcher system and unleash a barrage of explosive missiles upon your unsuspecting foes. Mark your target on the comprehensive map, and watch as the missiles rain down from the sky, causing chaos and destruction. Be warned, launching an airstrike will alert all enemies to your presence, so use it strategically and with caution. The deafening raid siren will echo across the map, signaling the impending danger.
• Burrower: Face the formidable Burrower, a monstrous predator that lurks beneath the surface, waiting to ambush unsuspecting players. This cunning creature can burrow underground, disappearing from sight, only to emerge from the depths to deliver a devastating blow. Beware of the Burrower's juvenile minions, who will swarm and attack any player engaged in combat with their parent. Defeat the Burrower and claim its valuable loot, including the ultimate weapon in the game – the hyper cannon.
• Deathbringer: Mount the fearsome Deathbringer, a colossal armored vehicle armed with a trio of devastating weapons: a flamethrower, an artillery cannon, and an automatic plasma rifle shotgun. This formidable machine also boasts an extractor system, allowing players to harvest biocores from the battlefield. Man the Deathbringer with three players and unleash its destructive power upon your enemies. Blast through hordes of foes with the flamethrower's searing heat, bombard the battlefield with the artillery cannon's explosive shells, and unleash a hail of plasma with the automatic rifle shotgun.

Ascendant.com's lobby is more than a waiting area; it’s a vibrant hub bustling with activities and opportunities for camaraderie before the storm of battle.   Test your skills in hide and seek, conquer intricate jumping puzzles, engage in some serious 1v1 duels, or prepare your loadout before the next extraction. Wander around and strike up conversations with fellow players, forming alliances or just sharing strategies. Finding friends and building a sense of community is a key part of the Ascendant Infinity experience. Here, in these light-hearted moments, bonds are formed that can turn into powerful alliances in the heat of battle.

Collaboration is vital for successful resource extraction. Whether rushing for extraction points, setting up ambushes, or coordinating attacks, teamwork dictates your victory. Four teams jump into the dynamically evolving world, engaging in fierce battles, and striving to extract one of the three limited biocores. Securing a biocore isn't just about combat prowess; it demands careful planning, seamless coordination, and adaptability. Your squad must decide whether to aggressively pursue the biocores straight away or wait patiently and capitalize on the chaos that ensues. Will you go for a head-on clash, or will you lay low and snatch the biocore in a strategic shootout? 

Why fit in when you can stand out? Tailor your loadout for optimal resource extraction and engagement. Personalize your gear and weapons to suit your style and strategy. Name them, flaunt them, and rule the battlefield in style! With thousands of possible modifications, each weapon can be tailored to suit specific tactics, from snipers turned into area-of-effect blasters to rifles that ignite enemies. This deep customization affects not just the look of your weapons, but also how they play, allowing you to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing world.

Choose from hundreds of customization options to create a character that truly represents you. Whether you prefer a sleek, futuristic look or something more rugged and battle-worn, there are endless possibilities to express your individuality and make a statement before the battle even begins.

Ascendant.com is not just a competitive shooter. It's an arena where adaptability, strategy, and team dynamics are tested at every point. A game where each match is unique, and your tactics must continually adapt to the changing world around you.
