Rogue Mode is an additional game mode, alongside the main Campaign Mode.

Mechanics[ | ]

Unlike Campaign, you do not start in your own ship, so you can't change your loadout, and you don't unlock Weapons and Items to use for your loadout. Instead, you find them in enemy ships via Supply Drops, and equip them immediately. You can't refill ammo, so must make the most of the weapons found in each wave.

After completing a wave by destroying the core(s), you move on to the next wave, keeping all of your weapons, items, ammo amounts, and all the keys you've found. You move on to the next ship immediately, with no choice of which ship to tackle next.

Failing a wave still lets you continue from the main menu, albeit with the items and ammo you died with, potentially putting you in either an unwinnable situation, or one that requires great skill and tactics to conquer. However, if you've reached a wave with multiple Artifacts available, this second chance may let you collect a new one.

Supply Drops[ | ]

Supply Drops appear randomly across an enemy ship. Activating one allows you to choose the slot to use it, with the option to back out of the selection and leave the Supply Drop for later.

As there are no ammo supply drops available, once a weapon uses all its ammo, it needs to be replaced with a new one. After swapping weapons, you can swap back to the dropped weapon by activating the Supply Drop again, as long as it still had ammo available.

You can also find passive upgrade items (such as Quality Ammunition), and health supply drops that completely refill your health.

Artifacts[ | ]

There are 10 artifacts that are unique to Rogue Mode. They appear as diamonds on the map.

Artifacts are ordered here by the wave they appear on. The # column shows the order they appear in the Artifacts menu. See Artifacts for more info, and the complete list.
