Exoprimal has been out for a little under two weeks and Capcom is already adding a new game mode with the launch of Savage Gauntlet. This new PvE mode ushers in a new piece of content for players to dive into, adding a little more variety to the gameplay.
Capcom says Savage Gauntlet is a free update for all Exoprimal players. So you should see it later today. Exoprimal is Capcom’s latest title to release and is a mix of PvE and PvP gameplay. While it does have a story for players to follow, all of the gameplay is laid out in online matches. Players enter a match to participate in “wargames” in the Dino Survival mode. Where they must fight off waves of dinosaurs that are being ported into the map.
Each team is made up of five players. Players can choose from a variety of class types that include damage, support, and tanks. Once the match starts, the goal is to see who can reach the final stage and complete it first. In today’s newly added mode, things work a tad bit differently.
Savage Gauntlet mode adds rotating mechanics to Exoprimal
Exoprimal’s mashup of Dino Crisis meets Overwatch meets Destiny 2’s Gambit mode is already fun as is. But the new Savage Gauntlet mode being added will definitely make the game better and add some longevity to the replay value.
The main thing that makes it different will be the weekly challenges. These will swap out on a weekly basis. So each week, the mode will task players with completing a new challenge while contending with a new set of rules. This mode is also high-difficulty and is intended for endgame players. As such, it will not be available until after completing the main story. The mode also includes replayable time attack missions where players will compete to see who can achieve the fastest time.
These competitions are split up across global leaderboards by platform. Savage Gauntlet missions also run each week from Thursday at 8pm PST to Monday at 7:59pm PST. Since the new mode’s missions won’t begin until this evening, players will have most of the day to try and get through the story so they can jump in right at the start. Exoprimal is available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, Windows, and PC via Steam.
