The Ascent: Cyber Heist

Game mechanics

The Ascent: Cyber Heist is essentially identical to the main game, although there are plenty of new features. Previously absent locations hide unknown enemies and technologies, as well as weaponry. The latter includes melee weapons, which adds variety to clashes with enemies as you complete main and side missions, some of which continue the plots from the original The Ascent.

Game modes

Like the basic version of The Ascent, Cyber Heist lets you play solo or together with friends in co-op mode. Although access to content is unlocked only after completing the campaign in the main game, in co-op this requirement applies only to the session host. This allows you to invite people who have not completed the base game to play in the add-on as well.
