A Generation Zero September 2019 update has been released by developer Avalanche Studios, bringing with it a host of bug fixes alongside a new Challenge mode.
“Challenges are a set of goals that reward you for activities carried out in the world of Generation Zero, as of now there are two ‘trees’ to choose from,” Avalanche said of the new mode.
“The Resistance path tasks you with various activities centered around your fight-back against the machines, for example you may be asked to destroy X amount of high-tier Hunters. The Truth path is centred on your progress through the story of Generation Zero and rewards you as you pass various milestones.”
Full patch notes can be found below.
