Active Matter Preps a New Weapon Wave and Fresh Rewards as Its Multiverse Raids Roll On

Active Matter, an extraction shooter where squads raid fractured timelines for loot and try to escape with it, is running a steady drip of updates ahead of a wider Steam and console release. On August 24 the developers confirmed a fresh batch of in-game rewards is inbound, days after teasing the first wave of an expanded weapon arsenal on August 20. Neither drop is huge on its own, but together they keep the raid loop fed while the game builds toward launch.

Discussion Topics

  1. Does a small extraction shooter drip-feeding weapons keep you raiding, or do you need a full season drop to care?
  2. Multiverse setting: genuine hook, or a fresh coat of paint on another Tarkov-style loot loop?
  3. Would you sink stash time into an extraction game still before its full launch, or wait for the Steam and console release?
  4. New arsenal wave: real balance shift or store padding? Where do you land before you have seen the numbers?
