Pyromaniacs, rejoice: Season 4.1 of The Outlast Trials, Deep Burn, is ready to ignite! What better way to prepare for a world in flames than the Deep Burn Variator: a hellish trial filled with fiery hazards like fire mines, flame throwers, and an increased presence of the Pitcher: Murkoff’s resident and unhinged pyromaniac. But fear not, as the devoted staff of the facility have conveniently left water cans scattered throughout the Trial, to keep Reagents from getting too overheated.

Along with the fiery new hazards introduced in Season 4.1, two new MK-Challenges will soon be available to all Reagents, each offering their own unique form of civic engagement. In Traffick the Product, players invade the territory of sinister mafioso Franco in order to flood his streets with a new experimental opioid devised by Murkoff, creating lifelong customers and stimulating the local economy. Meanwhile, Disrupt the Neighborhood aims to break down the barriers that divide us—literally—to encourage intrusion from outsiders. After all, without any fences, we’re all free to be each other’s neighbor.

Reagents participating in this latest update can spend their hard-earned event tokens on cosmetics from the Deep Burn Catalog, exclusive to this limited-time event. Be sure to use the tokens while you can—once the event concludes, all unspent tokens will be lost.

And for those with an interest in delving ever deeper into the lore of the world of Outlast, Evidence Documents are now organized by thematics, easing entry into the twisted mind of the Murkoff Corporation. Season 4.1 of The Outlast Trials also brings a multitude of enhancements, fixes, and QoL improvements, including a rebalancing of Prime Assets Otto & Arora Kess, as well as a smoother difficulty curve for Escalation Therapy from levels 1 to 20.
