GTFO’s Free Infection Update Goes Live March 31st With 10 New Maps

Swedish studio 10 Chambers Collective are one of the few groups left in the country who haven’t given way to the globalist infection. It’s rather ironic then that the newest update for their four-player cooperative shooter game, GTFO is entitled “Infection”. The update will be free for everyone who owns the game starting March 31st, and it’s the second major outing as part of the developer’s Rundown concept.

The new update will come jam packed with 10 brand new maps to experience, and two all new weapons to utilize, including a burst rifle and a machine pistol. You’ll need to make use of every weapon you can get your hands on for the new map, since it includes some tension-inducing moments, as explained by 10 Chambers’ founder, Ulf Andersson, who stated…

“GTFO doesn’t hold any hands and places demand on cooperation from the start; communicate with your team to find out if they see any signs on the walls or doors, to make progress. On this particular expedition we’re playing in the video, the players need to work together to establish an external uplink from a terminal: One team member will need to type in commands that are only visible on the screens of the three other players – who will need to shout them, while also combating an onslaught of monsters. As you can see in the video, it gets intense.”

Don’t let his description be the only thing that determines whether you’ll find the new update enticing or not. There’s a video of the gameplay that you can check out below to see for yourself how it all plays out.

The game still takes place in the underground facility known as the Complex.

As you see in the video, they use the scanner to check for enemies before going into a room.

They get spotted and make a hasty retreat while shutting the door behind them. The door doesn’t stay closed for long, though, as the enemies bang against the door until they bust through it.

Later into the video they ambush some sleepers, nab a key from a locker and make their way back through the tunnels.

Near the end of the video the four teammates have to work together to relay the code as one player inputs the code into the terminal.

They didn’t make it to the end, but they did give gamers a brief idea at how the new feature works.

According to Simon Viklund, not all 10 of the maps will be available right at the start. They will unlock successively as more and more of the community plays through the expeditions. In the press release he explained…

“The update will include 10 new maps in total but we’re trying out an exciting new feature as well, that we call Warden Restriction. When we release the update, it will have a number of the expeditions locked. When a certain number of people have completed the tiers that lead up to those expeditions, the locked ones will become accessible.”

It’s a risky venture relying on the community to unlock content for everybody else, but GTFO is built around the co-op experience, so we’ll see how that all plays out when the Infection update goes live March 31st.

GTFO is currently still in Early Access right now over on the Steam store for $34.99.
