(NEW) Progression Pass

Two brand new ( and optional ) DLC Packs are now available for ORION: Prelude.

Progression Pass

Permanent 2x XP in every class, plus two full unlocks of ALL 210 progression levels. Spend them whenever you like. Co-op only: progression is off in PvP, so nothing here is pay-to-win.

Progression Pass

Unlocks ALL 210 Progression Levels including Level 70 Assault, Level 70 Support and Level 70 Recon. This includes Starting Weapons, Gear, Buffs & more.

UNLOCK THE POWER

The Progression Pass is for players who want to spend their time in the fight, not in the grind.

2x XP, PERMANENTLY

Every point of XP you earn is doubled: Assault, Support and Recon, at every Prestige tier, for as long as you own the Pass. It stacks with the co-op XP bonus and never runs out.

TWO FULL UNLOCKS

You get two uses of a complete level-70 unlock: all 210 progression levels (Level 70 Assault, Level 70 Support, Level 70 Recon) with every Weapon, Ability and Perk. Spend them whenever you want from SETTINGS > GAMEPLAY > PROGRESSION PASS: right away, or save one for after a Prestige and skip the climb to the next tier. Two uses per account.

WORKS FOR EVERYONE

Fresh accounts, veterans, and former Ultimate Edition owners who reset their progression all get the full benefit. A Prestige or Ultimate Reset sets your levels back to 0 as usual; your remaining uses and the 2x XP stay with you.

CO-OP ONLY, NOT PAY-TO-WIN

Progression only exists in co-op. PvP modes do not use levels, weapon unlocks or perks, so the Pass changes nothing about who wins a match against other players.

Requires the base game. Does not include cosmetics (see the Supporter Pack for those).

Version 13.0x

New version just went live for the [Default] branch.

PROGRESSION PASS

Improvements to the system in general with additional value for you.

• MANUAL > AUTOMATIC No longer an automatic, instant-apply mechanism. Now manual, spend the boost however you want, whenever you want.
• 2X BOOST CHARGES Increased to two boosts so even if you already purchased the automatic version you'll still have a new, free extra booster charge.
• 2X XP PROGRESSION Now includes a permanent 2x XP progression that stays with you even after Prestige. Reach that rank faster.

STEAM DECK

Fixed:

• Splitscreen on Steam Deck: both players’ screens went black while the HUD still showed. Splitscreen now renders correctly on Steam Deck.
• This affected anyone playing splitscreen with RENDER SCALE below 100%, which includes the STEAM DECK graphics preset.

ECONOMY

Fixed:

• Custom difficulty: loot-crate credits now follow the Credit Rate setting. Credits from loot crates always paid full value, even when the match’s credit earn rate was lowered. They now scale with the rate like every other credit payout.
• Closed an exploit that let players give themselves free credits.

SURVIVAL GAME MODE

Fixed:

• Resolved a crash on the “Choose an Upgrade” screen after about 15 upgrade rounds (thanks Kendo for the report and the repeat testing). Each time you or a squad bot swapped weapons, the old gun was never cleaned up. They piled up over a long match until the game crashed.
• Squad bots no longer swap a gun for a new copy of the same gun when they respawn.
• Buying an item from the shop that replaces one you already carry (medic gun, knife, grenades and so on) now removes the old one properly. It was the same leftover-weapon problem, just smaller.
• The Ion blade’s hum no longer keeps playing after you buy something in the shop. It also stops if you switch away from the blade before it’s fully out.
• No more dying in the upgrade menu. You can no longer take damage while the upgrade cards are on screen. Before, acid from spitter dinos, acid pools on the ground and spit already in the air could still kill you while you were choosing.
• Protection lasts the whole upgrade, even after you’ve picked and are waiting for your teammates, plus 1.5 seconds after the menu closes so you have time to move away from danger.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Fixed:

• “How Do I Look?” can be earned again. It stopped unlocking when the old menu was replaced. Equipping any non-default dinosaur skin in the Loadout now unlocks it.
• The Arctic skins are free, so every player can get it. If you already have a skin set, just pick it again in the Loadout.

TANK VEHICLE

Fixed:

• Track dust now kicks up from the tracks at ground level. Before, it appeared several feet above the tank, most noticeably on sloped maps.

WEAPON SYSTEMS

Fixed:

• Weapon pickup ammo: fixed a bug where picking up a weapon from the ground put that weapon’s ammo onto the primary in slot 1. It mostly happened with three primaries equipped (extra-primary augment or adrenaline loadouts).

For example, picking up the Trek Bow gave your Grenade Launcher 999,999,999 ammo. Picked-up weapons now keep their own ammo, and your other weapons are left alone.

• Picked-up bows keep their special arrows: a bow picked up from the ground used to reset to 3/3/3 explosive, smoke and EMP arrows. It now keeps the arrows it had when it was dropped.
