About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Standard Edition

Standard Edition includes:

25000 × Credits

300 × Prime (one-time)

5 sets of weapons

1 set of weapon modifications

10 sets of equipment

6 sets of ammunition

Credits are the main currency in the game Active Matter. They can be earned during raids by completing various contracts or by processing obtained active matter and looted items. Credits can be spent on purchasing weapons, ammunition, and other essential equipment.

Prime is a special currency you can earn by completing daily contracts. Prime does not reset after a Harmonization. You can spend Prime on Credits, Monolith access levels, and special items: additional secure containers, respawn beacons.

Note! Prime included with game editions is granted once.

Note! If your character dies during a raid, you lose all weapons and equipment that were not placed in a safe container or are not personal!

About the Game

You’re an operative stuck in a time loop, always brought back from the dead to the same point. Choose your loadout and enter quantum unstable zones rich with active matter – the most valuable and the most dangerous resource in all multiverse. Fight against rivals from other timelines, survive physics-breaking anomalies and try to stay alive. Harvest active matter, gather loot and extract to a safe place before the whole zone ceases to exist with everything inside it.

Active matter changes things and bends space and time, so you might encounter operatives and other survivors that lost their mind and humanity after exposure to this substance. Other players, though, would always be your most dangerous enemy. Expand your syndicate base, upgrade your arsenal and participate in fierce battles between syndicates over the key sources of active matter, as they’re your only chance to break out of the loop and gain control over your destiny.

Fight your way out in extraction-style PvE and PvPvE raids

Go solo or team up in small squads to venture into quantum-unstable zones in PvPvE and PvE raids. Harvest active matter, grab valuable loot, and extract before everything goes to hell.

Realistic weapons and gear

Active matter randomly brings things from other timelines to the quantum unstable zones and allows you to replicate a specific item from other timelines in the safety of your base. Despite the mysterious origin of your weapons, your arsenal is always rooted in real-world military technologies and tactics, as war seems to be the only constant in this chaotic multiverse.

Gameplay-influencing active matter effects

Mind-bending anomalies that change gravitational force and space topology right in front of your eyes. Thrilling encounters with eerie SCP-inspired objects would send shivers down your spine, and creatures transformed by active matter would attack you on sight.

Intense   PvP battles

Syndicates of operatives fight over control of a passive source of active matter, using all the weapons and other gear they can bring into battle or craft on site. Join PvP battles you like and make a real impact on the fate of the multiverse!

Fascinating maps

Battles take place at locations that exist outside of space and time boundaries. Active Matter features a variety of maps, including a huge island with rusty Soviet industrial complexes and cryptic science labs that were among the first to study this new phenomena. Explore these places to find hints on the origin of active matter.
