Exterminauts trailers show Powerpack and upgrade systems

Behaviour Interactive released two trailers for the co-op shooter Exterminauts. The videos detail the Overdrive Powerpack and the Exchange Terminal system.

The Powerpack stores polymorphic plasma to trigger "Overdrive" in four target types. It boosts the power and range of plasma weapons, opens facility interactions like ziplines, bypasses computer passwords via skip steps, and allows players to execute staggered enemies through overkill. The device has a finite plasma supply and requires players to find charging stations during missions.

The Exchange Terminal lets players trade high-value items for two upgrade types. Subroutines, managed by the Blackburn Data Recovery program, slot into sponsored firmware to provide boosts such as higher bio damage and stamina regeneration. Players find random data discs in missions to fill loyalty cards for rewards. Behaviour Interactive says subroutines influence a player's job and can be upgraded.

Augments are handled by the Chem-IX Applied Sciences Division and fit into kinetic weapons. Five units of crystallized plasma, found underground, in tar spawners, or plasma clouds, can be swapped for an unpredictable firearm attachment. Duplicate rewards grant Warehouse Tickets for specific weapon augments. Behaviour Interactive says augments change how players shoot and cannot be upgraded.

Exterminauts launches in 2027 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
